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]

Honestly the thing about 'MURICA (Hells yeah) is that if on a travel you stay in the same region, say the north east, the deep south, the southwest, etc they tend to not seem so different. I mean there are small differences between say, North Carolina and Alabama. Or Pennsylvania and New York, but they don't seem so much.
However if you travel between the coasts for example, there is a lot of a difference. I remember when I came to LA after University in tennessee and it was like an entirely new country to me. |  |

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. |
Don't be so smugly supercilious about something you clearly don't understand.
Whereas the theory of evolution can in some cases explain how some life forms have changed over time, it cannot explain how lifeforms came to be, let alone what "life" is, let alone how "life" came to be. |  |

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? |
Actually, his "comment" is both very witty and very funny, requiring only a bit of knowledge of The New Yorker. | |

"I did throw in a couple--music and diversity--just in case."
WHAT!...Country AND Western! |
Very funny. At first, I thought the last sentence was a sign of abject cultural and musical ignorance, but then I realized it was intended as high humour, and quite good as well. | |

The theory of evolution refers to just the genesis of life. Evolution refers to the other bit your talking about. There's too much data and monitoring of these changes at a hereditary level to discount it.
Evolution is both a fact and a theory. | |

It will get VERY interesting if Bloomberg decides to throw in; especially if it's against Trump and Sanders - there will be as close to a real choice as voters will have seen for a while as neither party machination will have their preferred candidate and a pretty solid independent running. I'd love to see that election to be honest. [Post edited 28 Jan 2016 13:41]

Evolution is the change in allele frequencies within a population over time. It's observable, it's testable, it's a fact.
The theory of evolution explains how this observable evolution occurs.,it has nothing to do with how life came to be. |  |

Megyn Kelly is a very attractive journalist, but it to the right of Ghengis Khan in her political beliefs. Nothing wrong with old Ghengis as he had a very poor press, just saying her and her employer are a tad right wing ! |  |

You're making an argument that I didn't make--or didn't mean to. Okay, there are countries that don't have music (?), but that doesn't mean there's not great differences between the states. The differences between jazz and rock is more than the music. Go to Seattle and then New Orleans and tell me that the music isn't anything more than blasting on the radio. Just because you've experienced bland similarities in your visits just means that you haven't actively sought culture. It's really not that difficult, and it's very rewarding.
Star Wars opened in 80 screens in Tamil Nadu... maybe you were driven around by a moron or someone playing up to the westerners.

Of course they have music, just not western music (India as an example has an enormous tradition of music, but it knows sod all about jazz or rock - you'll occasionally hear Western music in the biggest cities, Mumbai, or Chennai, or Delhi, but hardly at all and certainly never in the more remote areas - when you do it's almost always rap as the young people are getting into it).
And the driver was not a moron - we were in the Western Ghats, not in Chennai, the film hadn't opened (as i said it was just as it was opening here and the article you posted pointed out that it was delayed there because of Bollywood openings being more important) and he had a smattering of English but certainly not enough to go and watch a film in English. English language films over there are the preserve of the wealthier, more educated big city dwellers, not the ordinary people who live in the rural areas. Tamil Nadu by the way, has a population of about 75 million, so quite a bit bigger than the population of the UK, and you say it opened in 80 screens? Do you know how many screens it opened on here? Over 3,700 - and that's for a smaller population.
The cinema he was interested in was Tamil (also called Kollywood), or Bollywood. A cursory look at local cinemas here shows that there are 7 Bollywood films currently showing in the UK, and I haven't heard of any of them - does that make me a moron? Or just someone with a different culture?
You are missing my point anyway, whether deliberately or not I don't know. I started by saying that you will miss out on a lot of cultural interest by only ever staying in the US so it's not the same as being able to travel around the world with a passport - you are extrapolating that to me saying that all of the US is identical and that I've only experienced bland similarities. At no point did I say that - I said that the major differences were on the East Coast / West Coast, but that it was possible to drive a thousand miles in the US and see no discernible cultural difference. That doesn't mean the same as 'there is no journey you can make which doesn't show any difference at all'.
Anyway - I can't be bothered to argue anymore. If you honestly think that the difference in culture between different parts of the US is so great that it negates the need to have a passport and see the world then fine. A lot of Americans agree with you. But then a lot of them are considering voting for a complete imbecile because he's going to 'build a wall'. | | | |

>Of course they have music, just not western music
Did I say that? I can’t find it, sorry. I wouldn’t have meant any music, that would be ridiculous. If I phrased it that poorly, whoops.
>Does that make me a moron? Or just someone with a different culture?
No idea, I’ve never met you. Benefit of the doubt is the way to go.
>You are missing my point anyway, whether deliberately or not I don't know.
Count how many times I’ve agreed with what you’re saying. What I’m saying is: a lot of people aren’t bothered and have enough differences (that are very significant) and are happy with that. Let them be, you’re not a cultural benchmark. Neither am I. I’m just looking at the numbers and saying that it’s fine. Don’t look down your nose at a nation because they don’t meet your personal standards.
> But then a lot of them are considering voting for a complete imbecile because he's going to 'build a wall'.
You threw in ‘considering,’ because you understand completely that the overwhelming number of supporters ‘considering’ are doing so because they’re also well aware that there’s no chance in hell of that ticket so they're free to posture as much as they want.
>Anyway - I can't be bothered to argue anymore.

Yes - you did.
I haven't looked down my nose at anyone - I have made no comment at all on anything other than differences in culture you can find from travelling around the world rather than staying in one country. I neither said how many would be bothered by that nor whether they actually should be - I said I was bothered by it which isn't remotely the same thing. The only one who's looked down their nose is you, in calling someone a moron because he doesn't know about a film that is of no interest to him.
And I don't care one way or the other whether Republicans do vote for Trump. I rather hope that they do because if they do, there is not a snowball's chance in hell that he'll win the presidential election (as Davillin pointed out it's the 'moderates' of each party and independents that decide and he will not gain many votes from those groups). The religious right are not overly fond of him either, although it'll be truly hilarious to imagine their dilemma in worrying whether they would need to vote for Hilary to keep him out.
People can vote for who they want. He won't affect my life as he won't become president. But people in America have been saying for ages how he has no actual support, and still he keeps rolling on - perhaps you're crediting the membership of the republican party with too much sense? After all, if they'd had their way, America would have been only one heart attack away from Palin as president, although obviously she could have kept a close eye on Russia from her house. | | | |

On your last para - he keeps rolling on because no votes have been cast yet. If Trump lasts much longer than Super Tuesday I'll be genuinely surprised. | |

Oh I will too. I find it hugely surprising that anyone at all takes any notice of him.
I just find it very, very funny that more moderate republicans are terrified that he'll win the nomination because it will demonstrate to the rest of the world quite how many absolute f***wits are in the party. I'm not quite sure why the emergence of the teaparty hasn't already demonstrated that to be honest. | | | |
