    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...

    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.

    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

    Crucially though Reagan understood his limitations, and surrounded himself with "grown-ups" who helped him.

    Difficult to know with his public persona whether Trump is likely to admit when he's out of his depth and whether he is going to surround himself with sensible people or extremists.

    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.

    What do you mean "some say"? Wasn't there that Italian charged with bribery who paid a wedge and avoided a jail sentence recently.

    Trump may be a surprisingly ok president (comparing the massive hope and the relative let down of Obama to teh massive fear and relative upsurge of Trump in four years may be fun for a political student, especially one which can compare how teh republican congress acted too) but his campaign was so crass that it should make everyone who believes in genuine political debate feel concerned. 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".

    Hilary is an arse of a candidate but Trump's campaign should never, ever have got him to the White House. American children and other political parties around the world got to see a crass, negative, misinforming, policy light campaign waltz to victory.

    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....

    But, as he was born outside the US, he can't be president. Pity.
