Trump

[Langers]

A question - has anyone ever met someone in this country who doesn't think this fucking bellend is anything other than a fucking bellend?

It speaks volumes that I'm grateful we have David Cameron in power as opposed to Trump. Because I'd rather shit in my hands and clap than meet David Cameron. Unless I combined the two and got to shake his hand afterwards of course.

Well, it appears he has the nomination...

Heaven help us. Dear oh dear

Now watch him win it. It is going to happen!

 

[Freddeno]

yeah, i bet he will win...the world is doomed

I really would not be surprised if Trump won. Hilary Clinton is not particularly popular, and in one interview this morning a democrat said the tide was turning against her.

I hope you are wrong Cyber. Its just so laughable, fucking Donald Trump possibly in the White House, it don't bear thinking about! I'm no expert on politics and shit but even the likes of me knows this can't be a good thing surely. I can't even watch him on the tele anymore. Just an awful man. Awful.

I admit to right wing but I am no racist or bigot. He wil win because America is looking for change just as Germany was in the 30s. Clinton is not strong enough a candidate to stem the tide. Whilst I fear for the world trump will be President. Let us hope he get great advisers like Reagan and turns it around

Reagan was the worst president this side of WW2.

What an odd thing to say. Nixon and Bush (GW) are surely worse than Reagan, you could argue Carter too.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's got to be Bush Jr, I wouldn't trust him to put his shoes on unsupervised. Tanked the economy and will forever be defined by some of the worst foreign policy of the last 70 years.

Yet most of america Has him behind Kennedy and Clinton as best president post war? One mans meat is another's poison. Bush Carter Nixon Ford were all worse

This shows why Trump could win.That list has some rubbish on it.

Yet I'd rather he was re-elected than Trump. TBH I'd rather they elected Piers Morgan with Katie Hopkins as VP.

 

[So Long Architect]

I suppose the only saving grace is that he is likely to be deeply unpopular with pretty much all the politicians he has to work with, even those supposedly on his own side. Given the difficulty Obama has had in getting any meaningful changes through, I think (hope) the other elements of the US government will endlessly block him at every turn. I imagine the same will happen with Clinton if she gets in.

Plenty of destruction he can reap with executive order alone, including repealing the Paris agreement. If you chuck in a Republican majority in both houses then a Trump presidency could make GWBs look like a picnic. There's also the fact that European leaders will be just as eager to brownnose him just as they did Bush, regardless of the anti-European rhetoric he was using at the time.

Bush was let down by some horrendous intelligence work and an economic minefield laid down by Bill Clinton. That said, he didn't do a good job dealing with those circumstances.

Other presidents made disastrous mistakes. Reagan made some outright evil decisions.

The way he demonised welfare mothers for a kick off with his welfare queens speech.

It made IDS look like a teddy bear.
