Davy51 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I am not really up with the US elections apart from knowing they drag on for months. Is this latest dual between Clinton & Trump typical with its mutual character assassination or do some candidates actually fight their corners on policy matters ?

observer Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 To discuss policy, you need policies; problem is, the policies seem to fade when they get to Washington, partly due to the tug of war between the Senate and the White House. The only guy with the semblance of a policy programme was Bernie Sanders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 TBH i think i would trust Hilary better with the safety of the world as we know it. I should think Donald would be gung ho enough to press the button & think later . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A criminal investigation has just been reopened on her by the FBI which seems to centre on her breaching US national security on a grand scale for personal gain, it's possible her presidential bid is on the rocks anyway.

Evil Sid Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 push the button and think later? What later. There would be no later given the number of countries that have atomic bomb capability available to them. Only the pope and Switzerland has not developed nuclear bomb technology and i am not sure about the pope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 The choices given to the American people are probably worse than for many years then & it seems to me that these two misfits shouldn't even be in with a sniff of sitting in the Oval Office. It is very shambolic of the electoral system of the biggest democracy in the western world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I agree with Freeborn John: any woman with a mission to prove she's more macho than any bloke, is a dangerous entity indeed. She's already argued for a "no fly zone" in Syria, which could involve escalation into a war with Russia. The reason we've got Trump, is the same reason we got Brexit; a major section o the population has been deserted by the political elite, and now they're voting for anything that isn't politics as usual.

Davy51 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I get the opinion of Trump though of dispensing with the no fly zone option & going straight for the red button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Doubt it; Trump will probably be more reliant on advisers than anyone; plus, as he will discover that saying what he will do, and actually doing it in office, are two different things. However, he could be bezzy mates with Putin though !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
