US Elections
« on: March 18, 2016, 09:22:55 AM »

Anyone been following this?

It will be really interesting to see how things play out. Apparently 'American Spring' is being planned - some kind of civil disobedience event.

Strange times we're living in.

I don't think the words "civil" and "disobedience" go together.    As you say, blossom60, there's enough conflict in the world.  Humph.   :(

I've just been astounded that Donald Trump has acquired the support that he seemingly has.

I find Donald Trump terrifying.  Far too much similarity between him & Hitler's early days.  This guy has actually praised North Korea's government!!!  If I were American, I would be making plans to leave my country now!

If Trump wins, our only hope is Richard Branson's space flights  :-\

We live near one of Trump's Scottish golf courses. He has caused much ill-feeling that's for sure!

I hate to think what might happen if he makes it to the White House!

I don't think he will make it to the White House.

I'm sure that the security/civil service in the US will dig some dirt on him, that will stick, before it gets to that stage.

Well I hope so anyway!!

I think he'll get there  :-\ - however, if Americans head our way will you take them in?  Would they be economic migrants  :-\

We can only hope so, blossom. Trump is playing on people's fears and predjustices. Hate begets hate, which is why this situation exists. If Trump is allowed to become president, then what.......? He scares me. History shows what happens when people like Trump gain power. I did read an article that suggests he would be assasinated...... My sons in laws are worried.

Let's hope he doesn't get in or the world will be an even scarier place than it is now.

It's worrying that people are supporting him. From stuff I've seen it's almost like he's a toddler testing the boundaries and seeing how far he can push before he gets a reaction. I can't see him actually doing the job if he got elected - I think he's in it for the ride, not the end result.
