Beginning to gain momentum, regardless of people's feelings on him.
Some people are saying that he will never be President.
One name Ronald Reagan. The Americans love all this, and would vote for it to happen.
That I am sure.
My view is he won't live long enough for this to materialise. [Post edited 27 Jan 2016 13:42]

Lets all remember 80% of americans dont have passports and thier knowledge of the real world is beyond the pale.
He will collect all the midwest and southern votes for sure. the republicans dont seem to have a realistic counter that can reach the people thae way he does or funding.
Going to be interesting times, although cant see him getting into office.
He likes to get his own way though this could be his downfall. |
The majority don't have passports because they don't need them, not because they don't travel. What is it from one end of the country to the other? 3,000 miles or thereabouts? You can go on holiday in Libya and not even travel close to that far. That's why the passport percentage is low: they can travel around enough that the experience is like being in a different country. It wasn't long ago that they didn't need passports to travel to Mexico or Canada, either.
If anyone believes that Trump will be on the Republican ticket running for president, I'll put up $1,000 against theirs for a donation to the trust. Double that if he goes ahead and wins. |  | | |

Living here for the last two and half years is a real eye opener. Trump is a really dislikable person, but he is different to rest of the candidates as is Ben Carson, but Trump says what the Republican voters want to here e.g Small Goverment, Pro-life and 100 % for the 2nd Amendment and the NRA. To see the debates are so defining the GOP candidates express they have an 'A' rating with the NRA and yet Hillary and Bernie are proud to confess they have a negative rating with the same organization when they have the Democratic debates. To be honest none is worth on vote between them. Trump is an ego on legs,Rubio too young and inexperienced, Cruz is totally dislikable and has question marks over his American heritage and Bush is just part of the Bush dynasty! On the other side Hillary has a ton of baggage that would weigh down a Jumbo Jet and Bernie Sanders is just too old. |
I must say you've learned a lot about U.S. politics in two and a half years.
I'd love to have heard your contemporary comments on any other presidential campaign and election since 1960 [my first vote for a president] -- followed by your critique about those comments.
[That's genuine, and in no way negative.] |  |

It's been out for a while. Would appear that nobody cares. |
I'm not sure that's the right conclusion about why it hasn't been publicized. Yet.
Whether you agree or not, there has always been noticeably more public civility among Republicans. Trump is the obvious exception. | |

I'll still bet everyone a zillion imaginary pounds that the election will be decided by 5-7 states and their relative high representation in the electoral college. The coastal states' populations, West and East are the passport holders. The Southern and Mid Western and Western states have people who have never read more than their local paper and have mostly no idea what a passport is or why an American might need one. In some states it is illegal to teach evolution in even the simplest form, and in others Creationism as in Genesis and the Bible is what can only be taught.... What? Their electoral system for President is bizarre and designed to ensure the interim elections get an opposition to the Presidential party. That's what's shafted a well meaning but in the end ineffective 16 years of Clinton and Obama. The institutional legal system on the closest vote possible ensured Gore lost to Bush in the most dubious of cases with rigged mechanical voting machines. It's absolutely no wonder President-President - (change constitution) - Prime Minister-Prime Minister - President - Putin has to keep from wetting himself with this charade. That's a man who really knows how to run a 100% turnout democracy. Save the bucks, the ticker tape and the balloons and just get on with getting elected.
Our friend Tummer from Texas, a good friend obviously, is exempt from this unnecessary abuse against the Colonials. | | | |

No one is arguing that about the state representation in the electoral college. My offer was genuine, you don't have to like it.
>West... are the passport holders.
>Western states... have mostly no idea what a passport is
Do you know what a compass is? Did you mean to differentiate the Mountain and Pacific States?
I honestly didn't know that some states hold laws making it illegal to teach evolution. Could you give us a list? [Post edited 27 Jan 2016 23:15]

I don't think any states make it illegal to teach evolution, though I've no doubt they would if they could.
I believe some insist you have to teach creationism as well, as an equally valid theory. In science classes. Which is of course f*cking laughable.
"Teach the controversy" they say. There is no f*cking controversy. One is a scientific theory, proven by a wealth of evidence. The other is religious horseshit backed up by zero evidence. |  | | |

Yes I know what a compass is bud. Please don't call me a pussy dribble it's quite offensive. S@d what you define as Mountain, Pacific or Western, I was generalising. If you want me to go into named time zones and whether you wear a 10 gallon hat in one state or a baseball cap I will. All I was saying that those states closest to the ocean (or sea as I would call it .. ie closest to a foreign country, are the most likely to hold a passport)
Here's the map
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/09/post_662_n_833399.html
Meanwhile, I believe that 85% of all people in the UK hold either a UK, Irish or EU passport...and another 5% US or Australian/NZ passport.
As for evolution and State Law I'm out of date and partially wrong in the last 5 years and it's obviously controversial, sorry for the paste from Wikipedia,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creation_and_evolution_in_public_education_in_the_
but this is where these States are now....there is a rather ironic comparison with some of the fundamentalist Christian beliefs and those of the confirmed belief in creationism in Islam.
Can we leave this now, I don't want a side argument, just a Prem place next year. Carry on with your Donald Trump stuff and I'll just keep reading the New Yorker. | | | |

Yes, I did delete the insult before you posted, sorry I didn't make it before you read it. It was rather crass, but not as bad as insulting an entire nation, I thought.
I'm sorry that you find it sad how Americans categorize their states. How rude of them, eh?
I don't really want to read through the Wiki link, but I'm quite sure that there'd be close to zero states there where it is illegal.

Surely travel is about experience of different cultures - languages, food, music, religion, art, architecture, way of life, rather than distance.
You can travel a thousand miles in the U.S. without noticing discernible difference in any of those things. That's the issue. I'm not saying there are no differences between States, but there really aren't many - drive for a week and you'll find the same shops, restaurants, clothing, TV, music, language, religion, buildings, general way of life as you did when you started.
The main cultural differences are on the East and West Coasts as compared with the middle and the people on the coasts are the ones with the passports although I believe that the total % has increased a lot in the last few years.
I can't imagine why anyone considering voting for Trump should frankly be allowed to the end of their road without a carer let alone letting them have a passport by the way, but that is a different matter. | | | |

You can also travel far less than a thousand miles in the US and notice discernible differences in culture and environment. Many states differ dramatically in food, music, art, architecture etc. When it comes to language…. Well, there are plenty of places to visit for Spanish immersion. Besides, who from the UK holidays in Spain to brush up on their second language skills? I would ask “who from the UK visits Libya for a Sunni holiday” but I’m not sure perch would understand the intent. I think there are vast differences across the states, especially people, cultures, landscapes, music, and food.
I guess it really depends on what people really travel for. I think you're being very gracious there. I'm sure plenty would travel to the states and be delighted to eat McDonald's. [Post edited 28 Jan 2016 0:17]

Weather and landscape will be different of course, but the cultural differences are very small relatively speaking. Same as there are differences of landscape and culture travelling from Cornwall to Snowdon, to the Cotswolds, to the Highlands of Scotland, but not the cultural differences you'll find in traveling to India, or China, or Ethiopia, or Egypt, or yes, even Spain.
If you genuinely think it's the same thing, then fine. [Post edited 28 Jan 2016 0:24]

I think Lisa's point is that across America it is a variation of the same theme.
On another point your comment to Lancaster after, agreeing a truce, was "I only read the New Yorker for the comics" from someone of your intellect a bit (accidentally!?) condescending perhaps? |  |

Talking about lunacy, did you see that complete moron Sarah Palin's speech supporting him ? Most of what she said was rubbish. Not in a crap argument sense but simply that the words she put together didn't constitute a proper sentence.
She also said recently that immigrants into the USA would have to learn to speak 'American' (seriously). Well, I think she'll be sitting alongside them at remedial class level. |
Ah the lovely Sarah.
Who's lovely son was arrested last week for beating up his girlfriend whilst drunk.
Sarah, back in the public eye, obviously had to mention this tawdry fact this week.
And who did she blame?
Her son for being a women beating c*nt?
Herself and her husband for raising a women beating c*nt?
Nah. It was Obama's fault.

What an absolut c*nt she is. Goes well with The Donald. | | | |
