Two unconventional candidates for President in 2016: Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump [View all]

I recently said that Bernie Sanders was making all the other candidates in both major parties appear anemic. See: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027068523
Donald Trump, however, is another exception. Roger Stone, Trump's former campaign manager, has observed that both Sanders and Trump are connecting with the voters because of their broadside criticisms of conventional politics, which the public recognizes is not working for them.
I did not know Roger Stone, so I listened to his C-Span presentation of his book arguing that President Lyndon Johnson was the principal beneficiary of, and person behind, the assassination of President Jack Kennedy. http://www.c-span.org/video/?316819-1/book-discussion-man-killed-kennedy From this presentation (without reading Stone's book) Stone appears to me to be popularizing the extraordinary scholarly work of James Douglass: JFK and the Unspeakable, but is still a serious student of American politics.
