The Canada 2015 was decided by Muslim issue. So would the US 2016 vote.

3 weeks before the vote NDP were at the top, Liberals at the bottom. Then Harper raised the niqab. Misguided Mulcair, misreading the public mood, defended it. The massive support he lost went all to Liberals who kept mum, as it was not going to go to Tories for all their misdeeds for past 10 years.

Trump has read the public mood - No to Mexicans and Muslims. Nothing else counts. Hillary defends both, will drown. Mainstream America, like the Canadians will vote with their hearts, not minds.
