The dynamics fueling the surging campaigns of presidential candidates Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are more similar than not, as the success of the upstart Sanders, running for the Democratic nomination, and the outsider Trump, in the Republican race, shows how turned off some American voters are by "establishment" contenders.
On the surface, the two candidates appear to be exact opposites. Trump, a billionaire developer and reality television star from Manhattan, has branded Sanders, a senator from Vermont and former Burlington mayor, a "commie maniac." For his part, the self-avowed democratic socialist has tarred the New Yorker as representing the "greed of corporate America."
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rico will default on $37 million in payments due to creditors Friday, while it will make $594 million in other payments owed next week, the U.S. commonwealth's governor said Wednesday.
Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla said that the payments to be made include $329 million to holders of general-obligation bonds. He said there is no money to make a $400 million payment that will come due in May on Government Development Bank bonds.
