    Yeah but he is shaking the tree up and maybe that ain't such a bad thing. Over here, our politicians won't say "Boo" to a goose for fear that the goose might be offended in some way...or someone else will be offended on behalf of the goose.

    Mind you, Trump was endorsed by VTech, so that must count for something.

    He posted photos of his car(s) and self. If I remember correctly: Say it loud, I'm slaphead and proud.

    You have a good perspective, but Trump can't win; he's a plasticine public figurine. Watch him melt away over the next few months.

    I don't actually wear a wig but if i thought i could get away with it i may have tried ?

    Anyway, truth is, Trump has played a blinder, he has said what many people think and it has gained him hugely in the opinion poles.
    It is similar to the way labour would talk about benefits in order to gain seats in many northern areas when the truth was that they knew these payments were unsustainable but people lap it up.
    Trump is not anti muslim, he has simply used it for political gain.

    My earlier comments were based on a purely business sense in that I truly believe that a country needs to be run like a business because to all purpose, it is.

    I think you all underestimate Trump and the American electorate. You are looking at the next President of the good ole USA whether we agree with him over here or not. What's more it is probably none of our business.

    Nah, he's a double agent for the democrats, he's too close to the Clintons, its a set up to destroy the republican party from within. Too weird how he has been a pro-choice democrat in the past to go to ultra conservative now, something very fishy about the whole thing. Even Republican commentators think Trumps best buddy Bill Clinton urged him to throw his hat in the political ring.
    All lies and jest..still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....

    The online petition seeking a ban is puerile and pointless...

    But no matter.

    I think that Trump will start to fade (as a candidate) in the next fortnight and will not be resurrected politically thereafter - other than among a barmy fringe.

    Nonetheless, he has done much damage and his pronouncements have legitimised - in the minds of the cracked - a sort of divisive, xenophobic, sneering disdain for 'the other' that will leave an ugly taste for some time.

    But as a political force his goose is cooked as far as I can see.

    Unless his aim was (most unlikely) to break the GOP.

    I think that Trump funded Hillary, his 'main' opponent, to become a left wing Senator, at a time when he was speaking in more moderate tones. Journalists are commenting that when Democrats do something stupid Trump makes another outrageous comment the next day and there are no column inches available to point out Democrat failures.
    He is ruining the Republican vote just the same as has happened in France this week to the extreme right wing and, it could be argued, in the UK general election when election posters showing Ed Miliband in Alex Salmond's pocket were used to good effect to sway the public away from one party. It works in both directions.

    cruz has pulled out. Trump has a huge lead now he will be the republicans nomination. watch him now start to moderate his language. He will still be a populalist but have you heard him mention the wall lately, of course you have not that idea is being quietly dropped.

    Trump the next President of USA. Who'd have thought it.
    Clinton won't succeed Obama as she has dithered over foreign policy in the past and the US public are wanting someone decisive and someone that will talk the talk and walk the walk. I think this has been Trump's attraction.

    All the polls I've seen suggest Trump will be the most unpopular Presidential candidate for decades and it shows how out of touch the Republican Party are with such a disconnect with their electorate and grassroots members hat Trump finds a resonance within their party.

    Trump is heading for oblivion and the Republican Party are following him over the edge.

    Hilary is a shoe in only on the basis that Trump has effectively alienated half of America.

    After you finish your shoe :shock: what's your next prediction? Just so I know how to place my bets :wink:

    Now, how could a candidate who appeals to thick white folks get elected? Alienate Hispanics, Afro-Americans, women, muslims, pretty much any minority, anyone with a brain, or even 1/2 a brain.... How many good ole boy redneck numpties are there?

    A current affairs programme I watched/heard had a talking head who said that Obama's regime has been in negotiations with Mexico over a wall/fence. Apparently the Mexicans are not against funding it. Well according to this talking head, I think on radio 4 but I can't remember. There was a reason it was also in the interests of Mexico but can't remember the details.

    Another thing I've heard is that Trump is actually intelligent. He surrounds himself with intelligent people. Clinton did that but he was known for having very intelligent people around him but he was the most intelligent there. He has a game plan that starts with making headline grabbing and right-wing comments designed to claim the column inches and news leaders on the network news. Gain popularity and win primaries. Eventually his plan means he becomes more business like and mainstream. His comments tone down and he enters the mainstream.

    The thing is he's presented himself as a tool. He's not an idiot. He has made, lost and made fortunes. He's got the republican nomination, let's face it he's going to be president or runner up. I expect that he'll tone it down and start to appeal to the centre and even the right of the democrat parties. America is like a lot of western countries, appeal to the centre gets you the popularity to win.

    If you add the fact Clinton is unpopular, she's messed up and there's an investigation into whether she's been a security risk.

    There's no certainties with this presidential race. Trump isn't completely destroying tree GOP. He's shaken it up. Republican intelligentsia has had a fit over him leading the nomination. They're the losers. They're spitting their dummy out and saying he's destroyed the party.

    IMHO whatever happens we're up against two potential presidents who aren't worth much. That is worrying, a dearth of good candidates. We're in the same boat here I think.

    Appreciate people are sceptical of polls but Hilary leads vs Trump by over 13%.

    That's ENORMOUS.

    And as for Mexicans and the wall... https://youtu.be/x4OwJOVi0ec

    YouTube clip of a former Mexican president. So that's policy of his successor too? The current incumbent is half way through his 6 year term. That's a single term since no former president is allowed to stand again, even if just a caretaker president.

    The YouTube video is of a has-been possibly with influence but not power. IIRC the comment I heard had its origins in the US state department where it's being discussed with Mexico counterparts. Doubt it will happen as trump describes it but there may end up with something more than what's there. I mean who would have thought there'd be fences on the borders of EU countries to block migration within the EU territories? Don't rule it out in some form.

    Lots on the Republican primary side but much smaller proportion of the general electorate:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2016-36203799

    More women than men vote in Presidential/general elections but Republican candidates can get nominated without appealing to them. Latino and African Americans they are a significant chunk of the electorate and Trump doesn't have them on side. Add to this that Trump isn't an obvious pick for right wing Evangelical side of the church either and that removes a big organised bloc that previous Republican's have relied on for victory - notably George W. Bush.

    Getting elected will just be the beginning. Getting any sort of budget or bill through a House where both sides hate him is going to be an even bigger battle.
