Hilary Clinton-a Gran as President?

Agreed, Trisher. US politics looks very scary at the moment.I hope Sander's supporters do not abstain as they are threatening to.

Surely there is only ONE Clinton GC so far?

Second one born last month.

If I were an American I'm afraid I just wouldn't know who to vote for. Trump scares the bejasus out of me and I don't trust Hilary Clinton. I only hope an American friend I spoke to is right when she said whoever is elected will have their excesses reigned in by Congress and Senate.

Gosh that was quick!! I hadn't realised

Congress and Senate both have a republican majority. That's why Obama has not been able to get lots of his plans passed.
That means voting for Clinton would be preferable.

I don't think much of Hilary Clinton although she has plenty of experience but the alternative is just too scary to even think about.

If I was an American I would almost certainly have been a Bernie Sanders supporter but at this stage I would be campaigning even more strongly for Hillary. There is a real danger that enough Sanders supporters will abstain for the utterly ghastly Trump to win.

Surely no one would be tempted to vote for Trump even if his opponent was Mickey Mouse..?

That's what we all thought six months ago - but we've learned a lot since then about how irrational voters can be.

I'm afraid that there are people who would do just Tegan

Oh fingers crossed for Hilary! I was so impressed by Michelle Obama's speech yesterday. I'd vote for her any day!

Hilary may be a granny but she may not have time for Gransnet.

My pen friend reckons Trump is a buffoon and Hillary a crook so good luck to the people of USA.

I still have my US citizenship and will certainly be voting for Hillary. She comes with a lot of baggage, but she's smart, experienced and capable - and way ahead of Trump, who can't manage a cohesive sentence let alone anything as sophisticated as policy.

President Obama could have achieved so much more if his every move hadn't been blocked by a Republican Congress - just because they could. It's shameful and alarming. I want to hang onto his ankles and cry, "Don't go!"...or at least, if you have to go, leave Michelle!

Michelle could be the next one after Hillary.

I think Trump will win.
The drip drip of the email scandal, plus Americans fed up with the status quo, may be enough.

He is promising them a lot. Whether he can deliver, and how far he would go with the rich versus poor stuff I don't know.

But Hillary Clinton is hardly poor herself. Never seems to have used the underground for example. And has been part of the establishment for I dont know how long.

So it isnt as if Americans have got the choice of rich and poor if you know what I mean.

And actually it is Donald Trump that is more outside the establishment than she is ironically.

I don't think she's fantastic, and her being a grandparent is irrelevant, but she's the only viable option, the other grandparent in the running, should he succeed, is a scenario too awful to contemplate. Not a great choice for the American voter though. I was listening to a disillusioned Bernie Sanders supporter who said he wouldn't vote for Hillary, interviewer said "but you can't want Trump" he replied "it doesn't matter"

Trump asking the Russians to commit cyber espioage against Clinton.
How sad.
You know some weird facts, obie. How do you know she has never been on the underground?

I tried my own quiz and got a masterly 1/10!!
However, it shows that there have been many US Presidents who were grandfathers so why should a grandmother arouse any comment whatsoever.
Why should Hillary Clinton want to go on the underground obieone and do you mean the subway in New York where she doesn't live or the London Underground where she doesn't live either?
Perhaps she is like gononsuch who doesn't use public transport because of the unsavory (sic) things which happen there

Same here, daphne. Half of the names I'd never heard of.

I hope Hilary wins the election, what does being part of the establishment matter. At least she knows many heads of states and PM's the thought of Trump let lose on the world is quite troubling

subway

Brevity is indeed the soul of wit it seems.

How the hell can any one trust Hilary Clinton,any more than they would have trusted her husband.Seems to me the good American people got two bad options.
