    Could this Gob****e get elected ? He could push the button on a whim. He is an idiot but keeps winning states. Joking aside I would be worried if he won and was elected President of USA.

    My bet is that he will be the Republican nominee (and then the college of electors will collectively **** themselves), but no chance will he win the election if he is the nominee. It'll be a gift to the Democratic candidate. I know a lot of people don't like Hillary Clinton, but there's a lot of Republicans who are as horrified at the concept of President Trump as your average Democrat.

    If you're worried about Trump then look at Cruz, Trump is a pantomime villain who is as harmless as a puppy in comparison.

    Most republican members don't want him. Many of them would actually vote for Clinton before him as she, despite being on the opposite 'aisle' is closer to their neo-liberal globalisation minded ideals than Trump, who basically wants the US to be isolationist and sever ties with other countries.

    Anytime I go onto reddit in the evening it's all about bernie sanders.
    The comments are even more cringier than trump running. Some think bernie is be all and end all and this great white shining light that will guide them to the promised land of equality.

    Some truly bizarre people out there

    This pretty much. Hopefully all these people voting for Trump in the primaries are just hardcore Republicans that are a bit nuts. I do not think they make up for the general Republican vote in the US. We will see!

    America is smarter than we think. All these Trump supporters the media is spending its time dribbling on about are just a vocal minority. I would put real money on Trump being slaughtered in the election.

    The media has created a lot of hysteria over the past 15 years and Trump is appealing to the people who have bought in it. I would agree with posters who say he'll be the nominee but wont win in November. Not just his demeanor and policies, but the skeletons in his closet are too many.

    How do you know he's an idiot and a gobs*ite?

    Push what button? The american Nuke system can operate on automatic "when incoming's are detected"

    Now Hillary Clinton is a proven war monger, "Benghazi" !?! ... and the video of her laughing over Gaddafi's death, Lovely woman :)

    "We came we saw, he died" :rolleyes:

    It doesn't say much for the other Republican candidates that they couldn't put Trump in his place. Professional politicians should have been able to run circles around this guy in fairness.

    If you can't beat a woman hating racist, you should get the hell out of politics.

    I'd trust her less. But either choice would be a worry.

    Businessmen with big egos and a a tendency to be sexist.

    Sorry, was thinking of that "Michael O'Leary should run this country" stuff from a few years back...

    On the basis of this http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/colonel-gaddafi-kidnapped-raped-hundreds-girls-boys-1433861 I would not blame her.

    Im just happy the current POS in the white house will be gone, forever.

    The fact that we have enough idiots in this country that voted him into office (twice) means we’re doomed regardless

    Haven’t had a president with any balls since Kennedy

    Hopefully Sanders gets the nod, otherwise Trump could get in if he's up against Clinton

    The Republican establishment hate him. They don't view him as a Republican, he has supported both parties in the past. It's pathetic how beholden some folk are to their party in the States.

    Trump appeals because he's selling himself as a man who will put the country ahead of any party affiliation. I see it as a protest vote, people are sick of the establishment. This is also why Sanders appeals to people.

    Trump appeals to people who are poor and have no education, because he is able to demonise easy targets for them to blame for their problems, when the massive greed and inequality that Trump himself espouses is actually at the root of their problems.

    And that makes sense because??

    I must of seen those video's of Hillary on skynews, oh actually I didn't.

    Muammar Gaddafi held the country in check, in fact he was setting up a central African bank, dealing in gold Dinar, moving away from the petrol dollar, He was also setting up the united states of Africa,

    I wonder why he was taken out!? :rolleyes:
    I remember now, I saw those reasons on skynews an CNN.

    I agree with you, it was a terrible mistake taking out Gaddafi, it destabilised the entire north African region and led to the further growth of extremism. Just like usurping Hussein did in Iraq.

    Gaddafi himself predicted that all this would happen.

    The same ones who are scared of Trump will be elected are the same morons who acted like Obama was answer to all humanity's problems 8 years ago.

    Obama tuned out to be Bush 2 and they turned a blind eye to it.

    I've been living in the US for the last 5 years, and I have to disagree with this. Hillary is absolutely despised by a lot of Republicans, who will still go with their chosen candidate if she is the alternative. I've even heard a couple of Democrats say that they wont vote for her if Bernie is not selected as the nominee, and will abstain instead.

    I still think she'll win against Trump, but not a landslide by any means
