What's wrong with Hils?  She must be preferable to Donald.

She's part of the rotten current system. At least Trump wants to bring down the ruling elites and globalists.

W T F are you talking about - he is a billionaire PART of the  ruling elites and globalists. He has property and companies all over the world!

He wants more not less and, as President, he will get it!

You are right that Hilary Clinton isn't part of that (though she and husband were friends of Trump before competition set in), but what is wrong exactly with Trump being part of it?  In the USA where prosperity is a value and being successful financially is more highly prized than over here.

You need to ask that with the Panama Papers crisis as an example of just exactly what is wrong with it.

I try not to think about it, it worries me if I do.  For all his bull, I don't think someone like Trump would push it, he's too switched on, but apparently Reagan nearly did.  That could be an urban myth - I hope so!

so switched on that he said that women who had abortions, if abortion was illegal, should be punished and then retracted it within hours? Your definition of switched on may be different to mine.

It probably is but we talked about that before - maybe not you but someone else and myself.  It appears, from what I read, that Trump was saying that if something is illegal it should be punishable by law.  He didn't say abortion should be illegal, just that if it is...etc.  There's logic in there somewhere.  He was probably put on the spot, being asked about abortion.  It happens to all of them, they can't win whatever they say.

He's not daft NS, even though I often say, ''That prat'', etc.  I can't see him pressing the button......anyway let's hope he doesn't get the opportunity, then we can be sure.

No, he was specifically asked if the woman who had an abortion should be punished. He said, yes. This was later retracted.

I don't think the guy is switched on at all.

Ah well, I only know what I read from a news report. 
Politicians are always opening their mouths and putting their feet in, then saying they didn't mean it.  Nothing new there.

Floo, all I know of Donald Trump, apart from the presidential bid fiasco, is  from 'Apprentice USA', which I like and in which he seems OK.  Perhaps he should stick to that!

He should certainly stay as far away from politics as possible that is for sure.

I don't think this is a real button in the White house.

Obama cannot change the health system, and has said he is the most powerful man on Earth, and can do NOTHING.

They start off with high ideals and then find out they have to toe the line and their power is limited.  It must be disheartening for a true idealist.
