Just a week to go till Super Tuesday, when the victor normally then gets their parties nomination.
We could be looking at a nightmare scenario of Donald Trump v Hillary Clinton for the race to the Whitehouse.
Dunno who is the best, or should I say least worst, personally I am surprised that Mit Romney didn't throw his hat in, he gave Obama a run 4 years ago, and would have certainly got the nomination and defeat Clinton this time, really odd system the Yanks have...

If Trump does get the nomination, the Democrat smear campaign will go into overdrive.
I bet they have huge amounts of shit to fling his way, and are holding it back to really put him to the sword.
I doubt a Multi Billionaire Property man like him has got to where he is without a few dodgy deals and a few bribes to officials...They destroyed Romney over his tax returns, jesus wept this will be messy...

2 great things about trump
He's different
His 2nd name is not bush.
People clamour for change but do they really want a maverick.

I’ve said on a number of occasions that Trump will win the rep nomination and when that happens the yanks could quite easily vote him in, after all they voted in Bush, yes BUSH, TWICE. It’s a scary thought that Trump and corbin could be waving to the world from the Rose Garden. But then again the sensible ones amongst us know that corbin will never win here.

Why is it that anyone who says the truth and exactly how it is these days gets labelled a racist!!! This world has gone absolutely bonkers with all these left wing do-gooders!! by saying the truth and exactly how it is, do you mean Trump saying there were large parts of the UK where British citizens are scared to go to because of Muslims??? that "truth"? or the "truth" that US citizens shouldn't be allowed to re-enter their own country if they're Muslim because they pose a national threat simply because of their faith? or the "truth" that when Mexicans come into the US, they're not "sending their best...they're bringing crime, they're bringing drugs. They're rapists"???? none of that is simply telling it like it is...it's labelling and grouping together an entire body of people (whether based on nationality or faith) baed purely on the actions of the minority and discriinating against that entire section of society becuase of that ignorance. in other words, there are no left wing do-gooders labelling him as racist because he's telling it like it is...they're calling him racist because of the actual definition of the term "Racist". i suggest you may need to look it up! |

Spot on Mick. I've been getting more and more interested in this election and it's actually quite scary that this half wit could actually not only win the Republican nomination but actually win the presidential election. His attitude towards women and the disabled has been equally disgusting. If you watch any of his 'speeches' he actually says nothing of any substance, it's all playing on the worst fears and anxieties of the American public, interspersed with catchphrases, "We love you"s and chants of "USA". Never mind "left wing do-gooders", it beggars belief that some people fall for the spouting random poisonous comments as "someone speaking the truth" or "telling it like it is". |

Let's not forget the yanks have history of voting in a mad man as president, Ronald Reagan is a point in case it would certainly be different if Trump did get in. |

Whether Trump is a racist lunatic or suffering from some kind of mental disorder or not ...it is easy to dismiss him . Every society needs a Donald Trump . He is challenging ...he is single minded and diversive . He smashes through barriers that others fear to touch on .
Let's not forget our "Trumps " over here .....Boris Johnson and Jeremy " I would use the Trident submarines as Taxis ...."
One last thing .....Have you ever considered how many millions of Americans actually agree with Donald Trump ....many very wealthy and very clever people .
Are they all wrong ? Are they all mad ? Are they all racist ?
Have we become a society of politically correct panderers .....? Has the brainwashing education system of the last 35 years along with the BBC caused irreparable damage to the common sense gene .?
I don't espouse to his meanderings , but a great deal of his generalisations do have a great deal of truth in them ...just ask any teenager girl under the control of social services in places like Rotherham , Bradford , Greater Manchester .
There is after all " no smoke without fire "....

I'm sorry , but I need to correct my previous comment .
I mistakenly made the similarity between Donald Trump and Jeremy Corbyn which was wrong .
One Trump is popular and the other sits opposite Dave the rave at Parliamentary questions and has a long standing fondness for Diane Abbott...

There is after all " no smoke without fire ".... i think you've missed the point here. if people are offended by racist comments (which Trump's are, no question) that's one thing, people pandering to the PC brigade is entirely another however. unfortunately you seem to have fallen into the trap of thinking both are the same thing when they really aren't.....pandering to PC people is, for instance, refusing to condemn those that committed those horrific acts in Rotherham because of fear of offending a certain section of society and isn't ok at all i agree......however, being offended by racist (or bigotted in the sense of a religion) comments is people being offended by a person (Trump) who lumps EVERYONE of that faith together and tars them all with the same brush and denounces the entire people of that faith as being a danger to society who shouldn't be allowed access to the US. can you really not see the difference or were you hoping that your tabloid-esque, sensationalist post painting a simple black and white picture where there are no grey areas would shame some into not voicing their disgust of Trump's abhorrent and medieval opinions? objecting to racist, stereotypical and hyperbolic views (that are being used to try to elect someone as the most powerful person on the planet) is NOTHING LIKE being a society of politically correct panderers, it's simply people wanting to live in the 21st century! people not only have a right to voice their disgust, as a voting electorate they have a duty to call Trump out on those kind of disgusting viewpoints. |

I think the Canadians burned down the Whitehouse the last time they invaded  But yea I'm a dual citizen now. I live in Toronto. We have a liberal Prime Minister, who is a very young. Probably the antithesis to Trump. Justin Trudeau son of former PM Pierre Trudeau). |

Fingers crossed bernie comes good on super tuesday! :-) Good point! His wealth is inherited and, as was pointed out a while back, if he'd not gone into business and simply allowed the wealth to accumulate through interest he'd actually have more money than he currently does. Spent too much of his money being a self agrandising, self promoting celebrity whilst forgetting that Daddy was a much better businessman (although an equally disgusting person) than he will ever be |

He will be judged on what he has to say and what he intends to do about the current state of affairs . so far he has done surprising well ....wouldn't you agree ? |

His dad was a property mogul, so hes far from a self made man. Hes had numerous failed enterprises, where his approach has been borrow big so, when they go tits up, its his creditors who are left out of pocket. Basically he would be all empty promises if he wasnt so full of shite! |

Trump both in name and Character wouldn't look out of place in The Simpsons, it's scary to think he could be the leader of the most powerful nation on Earth.
Clinton all day long for me, because Bill to me always seemed decent from bits I saw of him.
