Trump is scary though, as is Hillary and Bernie. So very, very similar TO CANADA, where we now have Wynne and JT, the "selfie" king.
If Trump were to win, things could go south in a hurry. Not saying, he doesn't have it "right", but he's a loose Canon, not unlike Rob Ford.
A third party would be a worst-case scenario for America,Joe. We have it up here and it's always been a vote-splitting disaster. This country is perpetually on a slow-motion train wreck with one party dedicated to ripping apart confederation (Bloc Quebecois),another dedicated to communist ideals under the guise of socialism (NDP) and progressive socialism (Liberals) dedicated to the absolute control of all things through politically correct legislation from cradle to grave through exhorbitant taxation to pay for ultra socialist programs that only benefit the distinct few. Toss in a couple of lunatic fringe parties like the Greens,Marxist-Leninists for good measure and the best description is a "dog's breakfast of barf." The only party we have that stands for the ordinary,honest,straight-shooting,salt-of-the-Earth family is The Conservatives and Canadians just voted them out. Learn from others mistakes,Joe.Quote:

Voting for hillary/billary or sanders in like the chickens voting for Col. Sanders..........
Not a really good choice of the three candidates, but the US is definitely headed in a bad and dangerous direction on numerous strategic fronts.
There is a wave of unrest, polarization and there is zero common ground. Many see it as the tipping point depending on their perspective whether personal, corporate or global.
I have trouble finding any good choices that the US has made in the recent past.
Trump really just represents a faceless manifestation of dissatisfaction on almost every topic of Government edicts.
Exactly R and it's what many don't see/understand, despite their intellectual superiority. And why has the dissatisfaction grown so much. Why are so many disenfranchised and more.........? To busy looking down their noses, ridiculing him and his supporters, and more....To see that really, they gave birth to it, and thus him.
Jaycee, Trump is scary for a number of reasons. One, he has no problems with being a firebrand. Not something anyone generally wants around powder kegs. The US has been on a slow burn for some years now. He isn't just lighting the fuse, he's a torch in the powder room. The polarization in the US is reaching critical levels, its about blow and implode. On the foreign policy front, with so much going on in the world? Loose Canons can be good, see Rob Ford. They can also be bad.
I suspect this as reality.......Trump is doing whatever he needs to do to get the people back in the game. Meaning that with the crap we have in the Congress that personally don't want Trump because he may cost them their cushy job in their own regions. Which sort of forces them to accept him or face consequences at home.
I think he is somewhat of what he portrays but I think it's behavior to get the public so much behind him that it places the Republican Party in the position to either choose a Trump nominee or try to hold their jobs with their constituents at home and keep the party from splitting. Or Trump trying to go independent.
Plus there is an active never, never, ever Hillary sentiment among the masses and the Republican Party.
When you look at a Republican Party caught between Trump (what the people want) and what their own region may want, coupled with the hate for Hillary,ie. Benghazi, Arab Spring, Security clearance breaches, having Bill as Prez again, etc., etc. it puts the fire under the individual Republican members to put their job or the Country's wishes first.
I think if Trump wins, the reality will set in of how integrated his position is, his business sense will lead and there will be less radical trash talk.
Simply put at the moment, Trump trash talks, Hillary wants to be the first black woman as President and Bernie is a liberal idiot with no concept of revenue vs expenditure.
I had to laugh - the other day Trump had a speaking engagement in calif. - outside of the arena were thousands of protestors - causing damage and flying the Mexican flag - can't these pin heads realize that what they are doing is only adding to the number of people who will back Trump - I'm looking forward to the convention in July - should be real interesting to watch what will be going on outside - the police will be cracking some heads for sure - entertainment at its best
I agree that people like me are the problem. I get up at 3:45 am , 6 days a week to drive two hours to work 10 hours a day and I am still not where I want to be ( I am only 33 though so still lots of time I hope ) . Taking 30 minutes out of my day to listen to American politics is not my preferred way to spend my free time. I realize that their politics affect our country greatly , but I don't see myself making a difference as I don't have any American friends to try and persuade one way or the other. I do spend a lot more time reading up on local issues and work related regulations.Quote:
