Even an idiot can become president of the USA:facepalm:
A country of idiots ruled by an idiot.
Hillary is funded by the same people who fund ISIS.
Don't get me wrong, both candidates are abhorrent to me but in keeping with giving a factual and balanced argument.... please carry on...

Hilary spent twice as much as Trump.
Money didnt buy it. Money failed to buy it. :facepalm: :shrug:
Not paying his taxes, lying about his wealth and lying about how much he was personally spending on the campaign.... all seem to have been popular with the American electorate.
TBF, it's hardly the first time.Quote:

Hear, hear.
George Shrub once said: "More and more of our imports are coming from abroad."
But he was a genius compared to Ronald Reagan who really was as dull as a brush.
Reagan must have had something about him, he was governor of California before becoming president and severed two terms, Trump has never served in any political capacity:thumbup:
So was Arnold Schwarzenegger.Quote:

Will be interesting to see what unfolds.
Money is truly the root of all evil, some say it can even keep you out of jail.Quote:

Or, you know, we could just have complex arguments reduced to three or four word slogans which are questionably in themselves and win the election that way.
spot on (slogan) thank god clinton never used any three or four word slogans.
If I were to compare the two I would show Hilary making a pigs ear of Michelle Obama's "when your opponent goes low you go high" and Trumps "lock her up".Quote:

I think most people could name 10 policies of Trump, immigration, tax, security. etc, whether you agree with them , now thats a different matter. I personally hope he makes a good President for all our sakes.

Who is funding ISIS then?? The masses wanted change from the typical Washington elite, they have a businessman who said he will get them their jobs back, good luck with that bollox. Bit like the brexit deal where they will pump the cash into the NHS yeah right course they will. W@nkers the whole lot of em....Quote:
