You say that, but in one of the recent votes (I forget which) he actually attracted a high number of republican voting latinos. Basically a lot of the older generation who are settled and established in the US actually don't want more and more coming in.

Kasich isn't bad. Rubio is definitely very hard core right-wing. Cruz is horrible and Donald Trump is the most dangerous.

Yes, not condemning the KKK on Sunday was a new low. The things is, I don't even know if he really has any sympathy for white supremacists or if he is simply willing to pander to anyone to get elected.


I have no idea who he really is besides someone willing to do and say anything for power which I find the most dangerous thing of all.

200m inheritance is not to be sniffed at though.


Obviously I'm not American so don't know all the nuances of the American elctoral system but am inclined to agree LondonM that Trump strikes me too as someone who would ignore protcol and rules. He's basically a bully. The White House is no place for him.

Its a large inheritance and his claims that his is a billionaire could very well be false. A large part of his estimated wealth is his own estimate of the value of his Trump brand which he license out to be used for a fee. He has lost lawsuits against people who have claimed that his wealth is in the millions rather than billions.

As a person of Asian heritage I find this man offensive and frightening, I'm shocked that in 2016 he is getting any supporters, he appears to be tapping into and leaching the increasing fears of the American public and using it to exacerbate the division of views


In my view there is no place for an individual with those view in modern society

London Mix - on the UK betting markets Clinton is now 1/2 on for the Presidency, Trump 2/1 and Sanders 12/1...the latter 's odds demonstrates just how deluded the liberal 'intelligensia' of Social Media are if my news feed is anything to go by. I am going to lump on a reasonable sum on Clinton.

No it's not a fun spectator sport, it's a terrifying thought, globally.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
