The American (USA) 2016 presidential elections thread?

[oldrider]

American elections are controlled the same way as their military drones - very precisely from afar in a very very secure anonymous place!

It's more polarised than ever.

George Carlin said it well! - Did he die of natural causes?

If the voters pick Hillary (establishment toady) and Trump (fascist megalomaniac) as nominees then they deserve to get Trump.
Let him pull down the whole corrupt establishment...let the US eat itself and start again.

...let the US eat itself and start again.

Now that I'd love to see.

That would be very untidy and messy for the whole fucking world - unfortunately what the "drone government" has in store for us is probably just as bad or worse!

Alas we can but wait and see - if we are lucky! At least we can say we have one of the best seats in the theatre!

Yep, that could be a downside.
I could see Trump withdrawing from the rest of the world until things started going badly at home whereupon he decides to bomb someone just as a distraction.

He's also very thin-skinned so all it would take would be for someone somewhere to laugh at his hair and it would be war.

If that happened you would soon be speaking German, Japanese or towelish...

This http://www.independentsentinel.com/g...rty-bosses-do/ is probably going to be the great controversy of the current US presidential election!

Thank heavens for Curly Haugland letting the cat out of the bag! Donald and his followers will not like it if (when?) they kick him in the nuts!

So ? Trump knew this from day one. He talked about running as an independent then said no, he wouldn't....I'd bet that the thinking was "lets see how far we can go within the system..."
If the convention does not endorse him, he's probably got enough support through the primaries he's won to be able to claim a popular mandate - and run as an independent, citing "popular pressure" to go back on his decision not to do just that....

As i've said before, if he does succeed and gets in as pres, he's going to be severely hamstrung as literally no one in either house will want to work with him.
Every single thing including a budget will have to be traded for to get support.

If The Don gets the votes but not the GOP nomination the Reps will be doomed and thus the rest of the country will be doomed with that whore Hillary in the drivers seat.
