Trump as US president might be useful

I think that damaging polarisation of political thought is exactly what the article is seeking to address.

Can't see any hypothetical good in the article at all.

It occurs to me that one might use the same hypothetical cancer analogy with the Eu Referendum - and which type of chemo would provide the best outcome.

As one might guess, I am becoming increasing angry with the polarisation of political thought.

Infecting [hypothetically, of course] a whole country with a cancer to see if some chemo would help their troubles would be utterly stupid. Just the sort of thing Trump would say.

It might wake people up but I fear that would be just before he presses the button and we all die horribly.

Let us hope that enough democrats come to their senses and back Bernie Sauders! The votes are anti Hilary rather than pro Donald.

This is also why they have gone for Trump - he is seen as a winner. Plus they "know" him from reality programmes. A lot of Americans are switched off from politics, so dont "know" the politicians.

That is why Americans are voting for Trump in such large numbers.

I personally think anyone who doesnt live permanently in a country, does not really know and understand what a person in another country feels, and yes knows.
Living with something day by day is not the same as anything else.

Their education system is ranked 28th in the world. Which is the statistic that always gets me. 28th!!

I feared this would be clutching at straws, but having read it, an excellent article.
If only the effect could be achieved without Trump being elected....a bit like vaccination with cowpox to prevent smallpox!

Wow, thanks for that, Thatbags! I must read it cos I find the prospect of the Wigged One becoming president very scary.
