The American (USA) 2016 presidential elections thread?

So do you blithering idiots care to make any actual predictions? Or has the '2014 share market crash' failure illustrated the difficulties of actually taking a firm stance as opposed to just having a biggoted whinge fest?

If it looks like Hillary can't win or steel the win ( very likely) The elections will be suspended / don't happen.

Unless Trump is the world's best shill? Then it will be business as usual.

So - if Hillary looks to win or looks to not win - the Elections will be suspended or won't happen?!?

Great Prediction 10/10

That makes zero sense.

in a televised town hall on MSNBC, Trump wouldn’t rule out using nuclear weapons in Europe, saying, “I’m not going to take it off the table.” This followed an interview the week before with Bloomberg Politics, where he hinted at the possibility of using nuclear weapons against the Islamic State.

"Several months ago, a foreign policy expert on the international level went to advise Donald Trump. And three times [Trump] asked about the use of nuclear weapons.
Three times he asked at one point if we had them why can't we use them,"

To basically anyone rational, going on that under one president their will be nukes used,when there is no rational explanation or evidence is rather silly.
Especially if in doing so you have to ignore the other candidates propensity for making outlandish and childish tit for tat statements. Even asking senior officials how long it would take to deploy them if he so wished.

You forgot to quote this part of the article.....

Donald Trump asked a foreign policy expert advising him why the U.S. can't use nuclear weapons, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said on the air Wednesday, citing an unnamed source who claimed he had spoken with the GOP presidential nominee.

But you'll just lap up that mainstream media like a good little sheep.

Unwitting people are easily fooled.
