What a dreadful choice! We may complain about our politicians but I'm glad I don't have to choose between these two, as I wouldn't trust either of them. The future looks bleak for America.

Farage is devious and manipulative. Talks with Marine le Pen [sp] after brexit;turning up at Trump rallies. Whenever there's a sniff of racism he's there helping, advising. Not the jolly, beer drinking fag smoking buffoon he makes himself out to be.

I agree, but he hasn't got much influence in reality.

In reality, he has. Someone must be paying for all of his trips abroad [unless it's his Euro MP wages he's spending].

A Green Party friend made an interesting point. Since the complexities of the US system prevented Obama doing some of the good things he wanted, presumably that same system would (should he get elected) prevent Trump from doing the crass things he might want to do.
I just hope that he doesn't get to the White House of course?
