Can someone please explain why Trump is the main candidate? How can an impeached president be successfully running?
Post Body

Obviously ‘successfully’ in this context means ‘widely supported’ but how can someone like him, who did the things he did, be the best candidate? How are the American people letting this happen? Is it not embarrassing? Maybe I’m just misunderstanding what this whole race is about.

Am I the only one who doesn’t get this? Forgive my naivety.

Signed, a confused European.

Edit: Thank you for all the insightful responses. I’m not sure why I got downvoted for simply trying to broaden my understanding, typical Reddit!

"Best" doesn't necessarily mean best suited for the job. "Best" in this context means the person that the most people in that party wanted.

How are the American people letting this happen?

That's how our laws are structured.

Is it not embarrassing?

Eh, not especially. We're funding a genocide right now. That's infinitely more embarrassing.

Am I the only one who doesn’t get this?

Ask the Italians.
