Never a truer word spoken........

Tell us of the "real issues"

It was a weird campaign, issues and policies were barely mentioned.

None of the polls picked this. Trump was hoping for a Brexit like result and it looks as if he got it. Even if Clinton does still scrape through nobody picked a result this close.

I think what Bob wanted was a coherent argument from the site's resident conspiracy nutter on what issues are being manipulated, by who and some rational, sensible reasons for said nutter's beliefs in said manipulation.

Or maybe an admission that said nutter is just talking shit, yet again.

Nah, porirua left their raving lunatic with only a handful of votes and a wide internet to whinge to. Americans put theirs in the whitehouse.

Hillary Clinton, the US Democratic nominee, has overwhelmingly won the vote in a tiny Pacific island which has correctly predicted the outcome of the presidential election for the last 32 years.


Guam, whose residents are American citizens, holds a general election poll every four years, even though it has no members in the Electoral College.

But while the result of Guam's presidential poll has no bearing on the national election, it may be an indicator of how the rest of the country will vote: Residents of the West Pacific Island, which has a population of 162 000, have correctly chosen the winner of each presidential election since 1980.
