Donald J Trump

The voting system over there for the presidential elections seems to be nothing like anything we have. I looked into it a few years ago - in this round of elections - the Primaries - you need to register with a party to vote and you vote for whichever candidate you wish in that party - only if you register and vote in this round can you vote in the big one in November. The candidates for each party are chosen in this first round and confirmed in the summer at a rally. For the Nov election you can, it seems, vote for whichever party you wish. All very complicated.
Spoke to DS about Trump last week as he has lived in U.S. For almost 20 years - he says it seems to be that if a party do not really wish to actually WIN the Presidential election they put up an unelectable candidate rather than just throw in the towel. That is what he is hearing from his friends and acquaintances - sounds a dangerous game if that is true.
I did not see the interview last night but cannot understand how such a person has got so far and seems to have huge support. But people are odd - when Obama was working on getting through his health reforms DS said that he agreed with what Obama was trying to do and it would be so much better for the poorer people - but he said it was the people which it would help the most who were the biggest opponents - something he and DiL could not fathom at all.

America has always been a country of racism, he is playing the two cards the white Americans love, Racism and We Run The World

The man is an a**e and very scary

Yes, I was watching the Piers Morgan interview last night too. His accruing popularity is actually quite terrifying.

I have read a wee bit about this. Voters in US are as Fed up with their politicians as they are here and Europe. Trump is attracting the working class white vote, and the Republican Party is beginning to get a tad alarmed as he is seen as a lose cañnon. He will probably get the nomination but not the presidency - hopefully with everything crossed.

I suppose what I am saying is that Donald J Trump is actually only winning with disgruntled Republican voters.

Plus what I am trying to say is that the Democratic Party are happy with where they are, policy wise, but Republicans are far from happy with their party.

Now, when the whole country votes[I dont know their exact voting system for that] they may just decide to vote for a what they all ready know, a middle of the road Democrat.

I suppose it ultimately depends on how many Democrats are also fed up with the illegal immigrant situation they have over there.

Himself and Ted Cruz are anti the current Republican party and are winning with Republican voters.

Ironically, Hillary Clinton is very part of the Democratic Party establishment.

Too early in the morning for me to think exactly where I was going with this post.

I watched him being interviewed by Piers Morgan. He didn't answer a single question, just a lot of words, but saying nothing, except he was going to " make America great again", and keep out Muslims and Mexicans.
Piers gave him a very easy ride.

Ha OK... My blood pressure is always good :;)

Oh Lynnie watch out for your blood pressure!!
I think we have had a few threads about him, but he hasn't taken any notice
