1949threepence Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 The more Trump says, the more he seems to shoot himself in the foot, and now the 2005 tape revelations. Clinton seems a lot cleverer in the sense of what she says, and how she comes across in debate. On the other hand, with the fainting episode a few weeks ago, her health seems a bit dodgy. The forthcoming debate tonight (middle of the night our time), should be a belter, not the least because of Trump's attack on Bill Clinton earlier today. Ultimately it'll be very interesting to see who gets in - although I'm inclined to think he has lost large portions of the female, black and Hispanic vote. He doesn't seem to care who he alienates, which is a no brainer when you need votes. Thoughts? Quote
Nonmortuus Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Two very bad options according to my American friends, one group (WI) who see Clinton as the lesser of two evils and the other (TX) that see Trump as the lesser of two evils. Quote
azda Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Watched lots of youtube videos, recently Robert DeNiro made a video about how Trump is an absolute idiot and how he would love to punch him in the face. The other videos of how Hilary has 2 sides of her personality, one that she portrays towards the media of the mother type and the other in private where she's like a little dictator towards the people who work alongside her. Now, i have nothing against American or Americans, but it's really worrying the direction their Government are taking, recent reports suggesting that they have to "take out" either Russia or China, looking between the lines there has been a trend emerging since 9/11. Instigating the Arab spring, then this whole Syrian conflict because Syria didn't want a Saudi oil pipeline going through their country, it's not a coincidence, it's being played out by the top men in American Government and it's not going to end well for this planet. Any president is merely a puppet for the people who are actually in power, the money men, those such as the Vanderbilts, the Bush family and others, those are the people who truly run America, Trump or Clinton, it doesn't really matter, but both are truly as bad as each other Quote

azda Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Hilary has been there since her husband was President and knows how diplomacy and deflecting akward questions work, where as Donald just keeps putting his large foot in his larger mouth and hasn't worked in a Government post. It makes you wonder if he's just the patsy for an already elected Hilary Quote
jacinbox Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 I fail to comprehend how Trump is even being considered for the job, though I admit Clinton herself is no seraph. And this is where it gets stimulating because a sizable horde of people will consider both candidates unfit for the job and not bother to be shift their proverbial backsides. The candidate that wheedles a significant number of these ‘I don’t gives a FuXXX’ will walk away with the keys to the Bleached Cottage IMO. Quote
RLC35 Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 "In my opinion the last constructive President was a common man, with no affiliation to the establishment, and who said it like it was, Ronald Regan" John, I like your comment. This has been a election cycle for the record book! Quote

Sword Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Trump's sentence "Nobody has more respect for women than I do" after the scandal has broken out is just about the most arrogant thing I have heard from a politician. Quote

He did say that as far as post Brexit trade deals are concerned, the UK would be at the front of the line, instead of the back of the queue, according to Obama. Quote
copper123 Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 The more this madness of an election goes on the dafter it gets . "I challenge her to a drugs test " The poor woman has only just come out of hospital. If trump wins at least all my ideas about the american people being slightly unhinged will be confirmed Quote
azda Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 I was speaking to an old girlfriend of mine who lives in Indiana about the election, and as a joke i said "so will you be voting for Trump" to my amazement she said yes Now don't get me wrong, this lady is highly intelligent, she worked for Eli Lilly in Indiana as a study drugs co-ordibator, also had an interview with the FBI for a forensic scientist and has MBAs coming out of her ears, i asked her why and she said it was due to the amount of Mexicans coming over the border putting a strain on their health system and in turn the tax payers paying for it, reminds me now of the Brexit scenario 1 Quote

Bush Jr made it worse, and Obama has led a directionless Presidency. In todays election I think most voters are voting against someone rather than for some one. I am supporting Trump. as the lesser of two evils. This has been the most unusual election in my lifetime....interesting though! Quote

I was excited for Obama when he got elected, but iMO he took over at the worst possible time with the 2008 crash, then the much hated (i'm led to believe) Obama care health system.

Not sure who Gary Johnson is @jaggy He is a 3rd Party candidate, with little chance of winning. Most votes for him or the other 3rd Party candidate (a Lady) are protest votes. The person voting is showing their dislike for the two Main Party candidates. Quote
jaggy Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Gary Johnson is the third party (Libertarian) candidate. He is running at around 8% - 10% of the vote. I really cannot bring myself to vote for either Clinton or Trump (for different reasons) and voting for the lesser evil is still voting for evil. 1 Quote

Ah, so there is other options then, much like voting for UKIP instead of Labour Quote

Although when you scratch the surface, he is actually quite a good candidate with experience as Governor of New Mexico. A former Republican, I should imagine there are quite a few in the GOP who wish he was still in the party. Quote
