It is now official that Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump are the two key flag bearers in the US elections. In the next few months, they will crisscross the country looking for votes. One of them will occupy the White House, and take the mantle from President Barack Obama. This year’s elections have elicited the usual excitement.
The two candidates are the exact opposite of each other. Donald Trump is a TV star, affluent and unconventional.
