The American (USA) 2016 presidential elections thread?

**oldrider** · 28th February 2016, 22:03

Thought some of us might be interested in following the current American (USA) presidential election so here is a thread to test the water!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United...election,_2016

For no known reason my deep gut feeling has been growing that this years election is going to throw up some sensation like has never been seen before.

I have no idea what it might be but already there are some player and selection moves building that could suggest sensational outcomes might occur!

Only in America (as the saying goes) - what do you reckon?

Can't help feeling if they vote him in they deserve him! Probably I will vote for him to be the most likely world leader to be assassinated if he succeeds.

Does it really matter who is voted in? Nothing will change for the better - it will be business as usual...just moreso if Cliton gets in. The president has minimal control over what goes on in the country these days....more a talking head to keep the masses placated.....or not!

If Donald wins he will be reigned in, or might find himself in a open top limo somewhere...

I'm sure the CIA/FBI will have one available. This Pressi campaign has all the hallmarks of reality tv behind it.

It would be interesting to see Donald Dump win, not good but definitely interesting.

If he wins, given his scottish adventure, and knowing of Bob Charles as he does.....We may have a lot more golf courses and become the world's #1 golf tourism destination...
And that's looking on the bright side.

The 2016 elections will be historic, whoever wins

We might get the first Woman president - Hilary Clinton

We might get the first USA Latino-descent president - Cruz/Rubio

We might get the first Jew - Sanders

We might get the first complete drop kick - Donald Trump

It is also interesting for the rest of the world as the prez has control over the USA nuclear arsenal ... does the rest of the world want Trump to have his finger on the big red button??

If Trump does win it will prove once and for all that American saying that 'America is a land when anyone can grow up to be the President'.

That saying was proven when Ronald Reagan got in.

America tends to elect the president they deserve. Just look at the last three morons they have had.

Bush was an idiot and Obama was "okay". Trump well... I say he can be a loose cannon (quite literally against muslims).

I know what you're saying, but sadly the outcome affects us all whether we like it or not, and wherever we live

He proved to be a way better president than anyone expected.

I don't think we will say the same of ' the don '

Every rag head , disaffected , maladjusted , disconnect will want to use him for target practice.

Who could blame them
