Trump Republican nominee presumptive...

You're right obieone. It does not impact on these celebrities in their ivory towers. It doesn't really impact on me except mostly in a positive way, but I hear from people I know and have read on here how it does impact negatively on some people.

I think that there is a problem in general when politicians from whichever country are in for two terms

DH and I were discussing this the other day obieone, and we both agreed that a two term limit (8 years) is fine. However, he was concerned that in the UK the same person could be Prime Minister for longer than two terms (10 years) if the party is voted into government and the party still wants the same leader.

Four years is probably not long enough to get through legislation which the President would like to get passed in his term of office, particularly if Congress is against it and by the end of eight years people are probably ready for a change.

However, this sounds like a change too far.

I think obieone has hit the nail on the head!

There is no NHS in America obieone

Both whitewave.
The Americans are concerned about immigrants with no papers, Mexicans in particular.
And a general flouting of immigrant rules in general.

Not sure what the relevance is unless it is a comment in general?

Are you talking about the EU debate obieone or America?

Ordinary people dont like talking much about mass immigration but they think it, and vote accordingly.

Probably, after the economy, and maybe after health, their next concern is immigration.

Politicains and left wing probably dont realise that.

They undermine it, underestimate and underconsider it.

Politicians and celebs talking about it, is seen as ridiculous as it doesnt impact on them.

Social housing, lack of housing, NHS doctor surguries, and the school system dont concern them.

It shows the state of rubbish politicians, and the ordinary person does not like mass immigration imposed on them with no proper consultation to themselves.

Some issues like Europe, mass immigration, NHS, affect the daily everyday lives of people, and cannot be left to politicans alone.
The public then do the only thing they can effectively do. They vote against it.

Oh oh oh!!!! He is in the lead in the polls.

Has America gone mad? Or does it show the world the state of our rubbish politicians and what the ordinary person is enduring?

Austria just managed to avoid a right wing president, but many were prepared to risk it.

To be fair, I think Trump is anything but Delboy Trump. Unless you are meaning it in a different way to the one I am thinking of. No, obieone you are right, Delboy was much nicer!
It was just the way I saw him shrug himself into his jacket, straighten his tie then off to spin a few more ludicrous statements which reminded me of Delboy.

Oh, they have unbunched now. As we were.

I dont know about you, but the last few posts appear to have bunched up.

Is that the way of bright people?
I cant remember what he has backtracked on, so I think that most of what he says, he still stands by. Could be wrong.

One of the things that worries me is how fast he comes back with off the cuff replies in interviews. He allows himself no thinking time. You do need that if your finger is on the button.

If you give us the link perhaps we.could join in the bun fight on Facebook.

According to Facebook, some of the US thinks it appalling that London has elected a Muslim Mayor and they are convinced that Sharia law will be applied soon. I have got into a few online 'debates' ( couldnt resist), chiefly arguing that we would not take lectures on politics from a country which seems to be seriously considering electing a mysogonistic, bankrupt bigot as president, and that most of us are proud to elect someone based on their manifesto, not on their religion or skin colour ( well, at least our mayor isnt orange!). Some of the replies have been astonishing in their vitriol........and in their spelling and punctuation

I was asked today what was going on in London by an American acquaintance, she'd heard about our new Muslim Mayor and was convinced that London has become a predominantly Moslem society which would mean we would now be moving away
Doesn't really surprise me that Trump is on the up but its a terrifying prospect for sure.

Under a Trump presidency, I wonder if the new Muslim Mayor of London would be allowed to visit the US to meet his American counterparts. What about champion athletes like Mo Farrah? Amir Khan made the joke (?) that this might be the last time he and his Mexican opponent could meet on UK soil.

My American son in law is SO glad he lives here now and has British citizenship!

Could anyone here imagine actually living in the USA- if he won? I don't think I could- truly. One of my NY cousins sent me an e-mail today asking about emigrating...

There was a question on QT about this the other night and I think one of the replies was that he may be outrageous when campaigning but would not be able to carry out any of his more ludicrous suggestions if he gained office.

When even both former Presidents Bush refuse to endorse him, it is indeed worrying that Delboy Trump has reached this stage.

Good job we live here!!!! (Said with tongue in cheek.)

In total agreement with you eloethan
