It may be because I live the other side of 'The Pond', but I thought that there were only 2 presidential candidates for the US vote; the repulsive, inexperienced, inappropriate Trump, and then Hilary Clinton; apparently not!
There are other candidates in the running, but they don't seem to get any of our air time - I wonder how much they actually get int he US?
You can see a full list of the candidates here: http://www.politics1.com/p2016.htm
It just goes to show how much the media does;t show us; think about what else they're hiding from us....
