Secondly, there is very very little between the likes of Trump, Obama, Mrs & Mr Clinton and Bush in terms of Economics. What sets Trump aside is that he is looking out for American workers and American based business. He is the only one that is bothered enough to change the lives of workers or people that want to work. Obviously we as outsiders look at the American Presidental Election as a major factor of global conflicts but if you were a low to mid income worker in America or a small business owner, you would definitely be interested in what Trump has to say.

briany wrote: » I'll say this for Hitler v. Trump (can't believe I'm saying this...) : I think Hitler believed his own views 100 percent. He absolutely hated non-Aryan peoples and thought that they were dragging Germany down. Trump, on the other hand doesn't give a **** about Mexicans or Muslims and is simply parroting that view as something that taps into the psyche of the uneducated voters.

Ice Maiden wrote: » Why would believing something that is extensively documented make me one of those people? It is possible to believe some things and not other things. Are you one of those people who downplays/denies atrocities just because acknowledging them would mean having to acknowledge wrongdoing by one of your enemy's enemies? I assume if something similar was documented in the same manner in relation to an "enemy" of yours you would be happy to believe it.

The GOP themselves will nobble him if they can, as he's too independently wealthy to be controlled or bought, and would probably lose to Bernie Sanders in the current climate anyway. Ted Cruz is an even bigger knobjockey, though.

Here's a secret we have huge trade deals with these places so when I see atrocities in these places I realise the true villains are the people keeping the weapons industry going.

Similarly, it is not ISIS' place to come to the West and sort us out according to their laws. Whenever they can grow up and realise that East & West are poles apart (or the vertical lines lol apart), then society can't go on. We look at them and we see evil. They look at us and they see evil. Never the twain shall meet.
