The American (USA) 2016 presidential elections thread?

[Katman]

Has it occured to you that she just couldn't have been worse?

So hardly a compelling alternative then?

I agree but that wasn't my point.
More importantly, be interesting to see who the final contenders are for next years debacle.

[Katman]

I agree but that wasn't my point.

Perhaps you could explain what your point was then?

Careful you are playing the game they intend you to play - arguing over the difference between a turd and sack of shit - they both stink!

Two sides of the same coin - heads we win tails you lose - meanwhile "they" just get on with screwing everyone over and over.

Neither Hillary or Donald are (or ever were) presidential material FFS. -

Well this made me laugh just now, and I know that it will make certain "members" on here froth at the mouth but I'm sure plenty of others will chortle also...

Is it the Lie of the Century?:- https://russia-insider.com/en/jared-...eid=4030a10227 - The president in law - Jared Cushner? - - - (follow the money).

Well do you not think there's just a little chance she's using this whole issue as a convenient photo op?

Hardly, she gets more than enough coverage, almost too much, she doesn't need to chase it.

Saw something this morning that reminded me of your Spectator link. Boris Johnson used to be boss man at the Spectator which might be an indication of their "balance". He is regarded as hard right politically. He left the Spectator under a cloud the exact details of which I can't recall. It may have had to do with his private parts being places they should not have been?

This weekend The Times has apparently come out in support of Boris for PM. The Times sacked Boris for lying. It would seem The Times has higher standards for journos than for Prime Ministers.

Nope not even close. The lie of the century is Climate Change/Global warming scam.... closely followed by Obama's birth certificate. If you were really following the money thats where you would end up back at. But your not your to busy worrying about the jews under you bed...

And you have the nerve to question other people's capacity for critical thinking.

To be more fair than is probably necessary lying isn't a required skill for media work, but you absolutely won't survive as an electoral candidate without some familiarity with the basics...

Fair comment.

On checking I may have done Boris an injustice. His Wiki doesn't mention any sexual misadventure at the Spectator. Memory suggests there was such, but that may just be his reputaion intruding.

Or it may just be an indication of your degree of bias.

(And no, I have no more respect for Boris Johnson than I do for Donald Trump).

Not really, he has a well established reputation as a philanderer and as a sofa surfer. It wasn't covered properly in this country, but his recent dometic disturbance took place at the home of his lady friend. Press here mostly just referred to it as his home.

Perhaps he's just crashing there pending his move to number 10?

You seem to be completely unaware of the profile she has. No surprise there.

She's young and she's green, but she has a huge social media profile. Despite being new in congress she has a higher profile than all but a very few other congressmen. Almost every day she's mentioned in the press.

The Republicans assist in all this by denigrating her, liking to make much of her having being a bar maid. She claims to have qualifications in economics and international relations. At school she won a prize at a science and engineering fair and has a small asteroid named after her. Green she may be, dumb she ain't.

If anything she's at risk of over exposure.
