Put your money on Trump. The vast majority of middle ground want change.

Among other mothers, Trump had various mothers of people who were killed in car accidents by unlicensed immigrants. This, obviously, is absolutely ok 'tasteless political manoeuvring' because we know that all immigrants are bad.

Isn't that right immigrants?

It was pure hatred and absolutely tasteless from him.  The same political maneuvering  I detest coming up at the DNC - I can't align with either party at all

This is a problem alright.

The slimey, dislikable, career politician..........or the complete nutcase.

I read a very good article about Trump's mother - can't remember did someone link to it from here or not. Very interesting story - she was a native Gaelic speaker and Donald might have a cúpla focal himself. This wasn't the article I read but you'll get the gist

Big uproar at the RNC last night when Ted Cruz would not endorse Trump and called for people to "vote their conscience".

I don't like Cruz's politics, and he's supposed to be a nasty piece of work (a bipartisan consensus, apparently), but how the f**k do people expect him to endorse Trump after his insults of Cruz's wife and the ludicrous promotion of the "story" that Cruz senior was involved with Lee Harvey Oswald and the JFK assassination?

A bit dumb of Trump, actually, to have Cruz speak, as it reminds people of his ludicrous insults and conspiracy theorizing.

I was reading though different stories on Trump's NYT interview on his stance on NATO etc and in a few clicks came across this piece of work

Just shows you how dangerous language is and the type of people who are canvassing for him

Jon Snow is making an absolute tit of Rudy Giuliani on Channel 4 news. An embarrassing shadow of the man who led New York after 9/11.

I think there are many more like him under the rock of the Republican Party

I think there are some medical issues at play there. Should donate the brain to medical science

From Andrew Sullivan a well known conservative blogger

Why Jon Stewart is as good a political satirist that has been around

I think Trump is like Napoleon. He also had small hands

Napoleon is much maligned by history. On domestic policy he was all about good governance, investment in infrastructure etc.. Not just a case of  "he fxshed de road" but he spent all of his spare time reading up on policy matters to make sure he was equipped to make the best decisions possible. He took his job seriously.  For detailed policy he left matters to a parliament that he presided over. It was in foreign policy that he went off the rails, always eager to conquer whatever piece of territory touched his, and that was his downfall.

I think Trump could break the 2 party system and the constitution. Napoléon was similar . He destroyed the ancien régime and basically ended the middle ages in France. All the medieval torture went out the window.
