populist party
No Presidential Candidate in the US says "I have a populist proposal", but several candidates have distinguished themselves by making a number of ostensibly populist proposals. (A proposal is ostensibly populist if it does not make actual political sense to achieve an objective, but panders to a simplistic view of the world in which such a proposal is widely received.)A perfect example of an ostensibly populist policy is Donald Trump's view that he will build a wall to keep out illegal immigrants. This is responding to fears in the Republican base that the country will be overrun by Hispanics and facially looks like a sound policy. However, as commentators have noted, 40% of illegal immigrants arrive in the US via airports and simply overstay their VISAs, making the wall relatively ineffective for the aim desired. Second, Trump does not explain how he will find the funding to build such a massive wall or who would build it, leading to many left-wing jokes about hiring Mexicans to come to the US in order to build the wall in a surreal Catch-22 moment.Left-wing populism also exists. Bernie Sanders argues that he will be able to provide many services for free for numerous Americans by saying that the Scandinavian Governments do it that way. What he neglects to mention is how much higher taxes are in Scandinavia, how long it took to streamline healthcare in those countries, and how much medical innovation comes out of the US and part of the higher cost of medicine in the US is to pay for that research and development. To offer so many services to the people and not explain where the tab is coming from is ostensibly populist.
