By Australian standards, it's not socialism, unless you want to call Tony Abbott a socialist. Apart from that, even under Dubya, the Yanks had some welfare.

Quote:


The Yanks have had some loose cannons as President. I've mentioned a few of them already. Dubya would be on that list, along with Bill Clinton and JFK, but none of them  would sink to the level of hypocrisy, ignorance and stupidity of Don Trump. Isolationism is a disastrous economic policy.  Pulling out of strategic initiatives such as NATO (and probably ANZUS) is paving the way for these countries to form alliances that would ultimately damage US interests. 

Probably the worst thing about Trump is that he doesn't think his policies through. On security, he's going to ditch NATO and Asia, but promises a massive build-up of the US military.

He totally bemuses all economists by predicting the mother of all recessions at a time when the US economy is showing growing signs of strength, while promising to  eliminate the deficit and balance the budget.

None of the other previous loose cannons were capable of doing what Trump will. He has effectively torn the GOP apart. He is masquerading as a Republican, but doesn't have a clue about policies that have been very carefully formulated. He seems to be making up policy as he goes along, and is making some major gaffes in the process. He is not a team player.

Whether he is nominated or not, he will damage the Republican brand beyond repair, will destabilise the US at home and overseas, and  incite more terrorist attacks.

100 years of Bernie Sanders clones is not an encouraging prospect.

We are in general agreement. But at least you could have an intelligent conversation with Sanders. Even if Trump were elected, he's not building any wall, and he knows it. It would not keep illegal aliens out of the US anyway. There are so many faults with the concept. But that's not the point of the wall anyway. Its a metaphor, but control of Mexican illegals will always be defeated by Republicans because its the Mexicans who do their gardening, and wash their dishes.

It was the African-Americans who used to do those jobs until it became fashionable amongst the 'Smart Set' to employ 'Marias' and 'Josés' from down south of the border.

In direct proportion to this invasion from the south, Negroes were seen to fill the prisons as though they were warehouses for the redundant.

It's sheer nonsense to say that America needs its Hispanics while over 14% of Blacks can't find employment.

Try being a white Australian with a BSc in Chemistry, and find a shop to work from.

Impossible. This profession has been stitched up by South East Asians, and more lately, Indians in the Sydney area. You'll find yourself driving taxis until you're an old man.

Countries should take care of their own, first.

That's exactly what he is.

Morevover, that's why Herbie (the troll king of ozpolitic) is attracted to him.

Notice how quiet the Trumpeters are?.

We all knew he was just doing it for the attention.

I've said from day one that Drumpf will never be POTUS.
