🇺🇸 The truth about the Trump phenomenon | UpFront: Reality Check

After Donald Trump’s Super Tuesday gains, the billionaire businessman is likely to become the US Republican presidential nominee.

But does Trump really have the public support that will get him all the way to the White House?

In this week’s Reality Check, Mehdi Hasan highlights why the Republican frontrunner may not become the next president.

The truth about Mehdi... he just says it how it is, no matter if people like it or hate it. I like how he doesn't seem afraid at all to say word!... he's such an awesome person!!

😂😂 Look at these hurt little bigots hating on Mehdi for spitting some well known truths.

Why is it that most the videos on al Jazeera are unwatchable in the states or at least on my phone ...?

[onlainari]

Why wouldn't you bet on it? Not being Hillary gives Trump a great advantage in the general. Existing polls aren't yet adequate enough to take into account this dynamic.

[chucklingsparrows]

...maybe you should make a cheeky bet after all...

[MrLamrof]

Good points clarified in an easy to understand manner. Trump is popular among teabaggers. That is it.

[MetalHeadViking]

Haha! Al Jazeera are making the exact same idiotic statements that the "pundits" they criticized made before.

[mboxir]

Interesting fact; %34 of voters are supporting Trump and %27 registers voters are republican. That makes up to only %9 of voters supporting Trump.
More interesting fact, despite Trump leading in Republican party, why someone has %9 total voters support, can have about half of the chance select as the next president. And then Sanders should face eliminating in primary. Hmm.. Something certainly is not right here

[candysmith]

Now lets discuss the polls and numbers. Yes Millions of Americans like Trump. Highest number of votes in US history for Republican Primaries. Ha!

[Trinbagodreamer]

I for one can't wait for him to win and disappoint all those people backing him. Just look at his career, He ALWAYS looks out for number 1 himself! When he is in a room or negotiating with people who have actual power and/or can pose a credible threat he will collude and/or comply. I am calling it him and Putin are gonna be best friends lots of photo ops and bromance.

[RandyAustin]

You should have taken that bet. You could have made a LOT of money

[paganpoet]

al-liezzera don't like Trump THAN HE IS THE RIGHT PERSON TO VOTE

[CertainChapters]

Have to face the reality that both Trump is very popular. And this could very well translate to votes.

[kwicksandz]

medhi hassan is the last person to call out a loudmouth self important liar.

[Kevin-ppbf]

Your video started off with BS data, good thing that you threw in Bernie Sanders info, otherwise your YT video would of had been a waste of time and effort.

[ranggath]

Aljazeera America is about to close... so, why must bother listen to them?
