Donald bleep bleep Trump

Really? Why? He's awesome! Seriously.

He's an absolute imbecile. The only good thing about him is that if he secures the nomination then he will have 100% guaranteed that the Republicans will lose in their general election.

keukpa · March 31, 2016, 10:06:20 PM

He can't be doing that much wrong or be disliked...... he's doing very well in the polls....

He's a genius.

No - Americans are retarded.

He's a genius.

The polls indicate that he'll win the nomination to run for president but they also indicate that he'll most certainly lose in the election, on account of being completely repugnant to any floating voters and even many Republicans.

As for his credentials as a genius I'm not so sure. He inherited a fortune and would apparently be twice as rich as he is now had he had just invested it in a bond that tracked the top 500 companies and spent all his life just trying to play golf or finger painting rather than run a series of failed business ventures.

He's a complete low life who just says any old half baked, vile rubbish that appeals to the worst in the worst people. If you hear him being interviewed it's quite clear that he has no real clue about anything to do with the issues he talks about. Yeah, not keen on him at all.

Yeah, and that makes him different from any other politician, how?

Well it's the easiest thing in the world to be as cynical as that and just say "politicians are bad" but most of them do have views about things that they have taken some time to come to even if you don't agree with them. They can also usually speak coherently because it's their job.

Hearing Trump talk is something else though, he never fact checks and just repeats lies and half-heard half-truths and stumbles and mumbles when challenged, he's utterly hopeless. He's like a walking YouTube or Daily Mail comments section or just some drunk racist gobshite in the pub of whom there are enough within his party to win him the nomination.

I really don't care about politics especially American politics or any really
As for Donald, well, I find him kinda funny, honest I really do, some of the things he says mind is really kack, however, he did say that if he became president (rightly or wrongly) he'd wipe the "so called IS" of the face of the planet, can't fault him for that mind,
Still don't give a sh-t about politics though

The battle against ISIS will never be won simply because it's like a Hydra. You shoot one head off, another three grows in its place.

To have a chance it needs to be a political effort - i.e. stop invading their countries for oil under the pretence of doing good.

iwan_canobi · April 01, 2016, 03:40:50 PM

Yep, I'm pretty sure Trump would make the situation a whole lot worse if he got in power. Maybe it would take some of the heat off Europe though...

The problem is we can't get away with fighting wars the way we used to.... in other words eradication of an entire country the good old medieval way doesn't win votes! :D

BlueFlyer · April 01, 2016, 05:18:49 PM

Unfortunately, we're not at war with a country or nation, we're at war with twisted ideologies, ideologies that stem solely from outdated dogma and paranormal superstition... a.k.a religion.

Extremist religious groups such as DAESH will always exist in one form or another, as long as the religion they claim to represent also exists.

Being an "Oldie" myself, I would be interested to hear from the 20 to 25 year olds how they will vote in the Referendum....Its their future at stake here, not mine, I retired two years ago at 58, even so, I hate the Socialist EU Club with a passion and a lot my age feel the same way too.
It seems like " Blairs children" dont care either way, which is alarming...
As for Cameron, I had a lot of respect for him at one time, not any more, what a sell out snake he has become...more interested in himself and his big backers, that and his future job Merkel has lined up for him..Its not like hes even any good at hiding it, more U turns than a dual carriageway...Vote....OUT.....Or its a LOT more of the same, and neighbours you really dont want next door or in ghettos. ..Last chance.
