Nope.

Comfortable win for Hillary.

Trump will say "It was rigged", and will threaten to launch investigations and legal proceedings.

Americans will see him as a childish sore loser, and will dismiss him accordingly.

Trump has to accept, I'm sure he does, that if he thought the mainstream media & the networks were down on him during the primaries, it's nothing to what he can expect over the next 3 months.

It is universal negativity, not only in the USA but everywhere in the world that Americans might be voting. He  threatens their deep-rooted foolish perceptions of what the world should become.

The only way he can counter that is to go directly to the people and explain to them how they are having bullsh t served up to them 24/7.

Wonder what 'sensors would in indicate [captain]' for slagging off mother of war hero... Crash and burn in T -100 days?

Another Trump idiotism... Lying when its easier to tell the truth...

The Donald complains presidential debates clash with NFL schedule and FABRICATES claim the league told him timetable was 'ridiculous'

*     Claimed the league reached out to him to complain about timetable
*     However officials were quick to say that they never contacted him
*     Trump also accused the Democrats of 'rigging' the presidential debates

Trump wont win, but in losing he will win.
The american people already have Clinton fatigue.
They owe a gazillion to china, they have a foreign policy shambles, they have a middle class that is being destroyed.....

in 4 years time Clinton will have numbers that will be the lowest in presidential history.
She is ugly, she has no charisma, she is like Merkel with botox.
Meanwhile Donald will go back to NY with his reputation as a mover and shaker untarnished, and everyone will hate the democrats even more as the country goes from not even close to great, to being very mediocre.

I heard a democrat saying that in years to come they will compare Obama to Lincoln...just how out of touch are the Washington socialists

That's what I was saying from the get go. Trump has got to get back out on the road every day, reminding the hicks they have been screwed and it's fixable.

trump has done well.
He was paying $7 and hilary was paying $1.12 2 months ago.
Now he is paying $2.70 and she is paying $1.45.

So she has gone for a bath in the markets and he has done surprisingly well.

But she is still the favourite . and favourites usually win.

Bogey should have backed him at $7 and then laid some of  the bet off on hilary at $1.45 and you would be a certain winner

aquascoot wrote on Aug 1^st, 2016 at 4:10pm:


No prize for second, Mr Ed.

When Trump loses in November, it will not be described as him doing "surprisingly well".

He'll be called a loser, as is fitting.

Why the long threads about American elections? to 98% of Australians, an election in the US with voluntary voting couldn't possibly be seen as being legitimate, now could it?

Maybe the US should introduce penalties like ours, being able to potentially sell ones house for example, to recover fine money if not paid on time, for failing to vote

Yeah, let's demand that the US become like Australia!

Why would I be spitting NorthofNorth Saddam Hussein was a butcher who used chemical weapons on his own people.

So as far as you are concerned Weapons of Mass Destruction do not include chemical warfare..that gets a green light does it?

Everyone was so certain that Brexit would fail. And it didnt work for leftists to insult the Leave voters so I dont see how leftists calling Trump supporters hicks will work. And I wouldnt believe that a Clinton win is looking comfortable no matter what the media says, if anything this talk will help bring out more Trump voters like when media was telling us how certain it was that Brexit would fail.

Hilary is the sane option.

people certainly wont be voting based on any assessment of logic.
Kim Kardashian is not a logical choice for adoration, but americans more then any people just "vibe" with a certain "energy".

Now this is interesting,  Trump is very much a "high vibration energy" type of guy.
It may have very little foundation to it, but its undeniable.
you know what else is "just high vibration tittilation and stimulation"?...

Maccas, coca cola, roller coasters and disneyland, las vegas, miami, reality TV, porn, starbucks, crispy creme donuts, bling, rap music, discos and blockbuster movies.

americans are addicted to this stufff and Hilary is about as low vibration as it comes.

asking people to vibe with Hilary is like asking them to vibe with a copy of the federal taxation act or to vibe with Fleetwood Mac.  its just yesterdays very boring drab beige garbage.

Donald is not nearly as stupid as the lefties think him to be

Marla wrote on Aug 2^nd, 2016 at 7:23am:


Well , you are a yank who is SO INTERESTED in politics you post on an australian forum.
Most americans would probably know every player on their NFL team and would walk past 99 % of american politicians on the street and think they were a nobody.

Dont ascribe your warped view of the average persons interest in politics onto "real" americans.
Most are so bored with low vibration boring self absorbed elites like the Clintons, they wont be bothered voting.
Most would much rather meet Nikki Minaj then Hilary you out of touch weirdo

Agnes wrote on Aug 1^st, 2016 at 11:11pm:


How boring.

I want to see the Insane Option voted in for its entertainment value. How are we ever going to see Trump and Putin doing a cossack dance together if he doesn't get into the Oval Office?

I'm starting a Crowdfunding collection to bribe Marla to vote for Trump early-and-often on voting day.

no , what i am saying is that donald has shown great persistence, great self belief, an ability to draw confidence from with-in, a strength of will, laser like focus and a punch thru the wall(not at the wall) mentality.
This i find admirable.
Even more so , because he really hasnt had a massive cohort supporting him.
he has climbed the narrow road to success on his own.

now gweg can point out his failures but i think his achievement to grasp the nomination is pretty darned impressive.

aquascoot wrote on Aug 2^nd, 2016 at 10:51am:


I totally agree, and it's all the more impressive because not only did he manage to offend just about everybody including Santa Claus, but he has had to battle a vast conspiracy to derail him on his journey to the White House.

He's a juggernaut with a skin like a rhinoceros, and personally I'll feel cheated if we don't see him doing a Cossack dance in full costume with Putin in Red Square some time next year.

Now the do-gooders on here dislike that 2 usually opposing world leaders get along????? They are a confused lot.

It is a good thing if the US and Russia cooperate.

Agnes wrote on Aug 2^nd, 2016 at 12:20pm:

  Yes Greggary, he is starting to look to look unhinged and I have thought that for a while now.

Trump is just the catalyst that America needs, and will be the 'Wake Up' call that Germany never received because Merkel was in the driver's seat unsuccessfully struggling with her own psychiatric demons. 

In the US they've been wheeling out medicos to declare Trump to be a nutter, and yet no one has yet asked these selfsame psychiatrists what they think about the state of mind of someone who invited 1.1 million Muslims to come settle in her country in just the past year.

If the Americans want a loud-mouthed dyke of an old boiler as president, then they should vote for Hillary, but they'll be ruing this decision long before she's finished her term in office.

Lord Herbert wrote on Aug 2^nd, 2016 at 1:59pm:


And, if the Americans want a loud-mouthed alleged child rapist with a string of failed business ventures, and at least four bankruptcies as president, then they should vote for Trump, but they'll be ruing this decision long before they celebrate the new year.

Once Trump gets into the White House he will discover that the position of US President is not an autocracy, and that there are many checks-and-balances to keep him pretty much on the straight and narrow and behaving himself.

I very definitely don't see Hillary Clinton as being anything other than an arch-bitch.

Lord Herbert wrote on Aug 2^nd, 2016 at 2:13pm:


And that will frustrate the schit out of him.  He has zero experience in public administration.  He has plenty of experience in having his own way in his own corporations.

I seriously doubt he can win, but if he does, he is in for a huge disappointment.

greggerypeccary wrote on Aug 2^nd, 2016 at 3:20pm:


Nonsense!

US presidents are mostly window-dressing anyway, with the real work and the real decisions being made by committees behind the scenes.

Sparks will also fly when Hillary discovers she's not so much the Queen Bee in the Oval Office but the Tea Lady for visitting diplomats and dignitaries.

Lord Herbert wrote on Aug 2^nd, 2016 at 3:39pm:


Indeed, ask Obama. Woodwards book details the myriad ways in which Obama was frustrated in doing the things he wanted to do.  It ain't simple when th buck stops at your desk.

If anyone has a simple solution, then sure as poo, they don't know what the hell is going on.

I shake my head in disbelief watching Trump do his best to piss away a golden opportunity.

NB Slogans aren't policies....and that's all these 2 are feeding the public.

Hmmmm. Bit of a worry.

Trump did not write The Art of the Deal. He may or may not have even read it . The author of *Trump's* book has come clean and because he wrote it before Trump began making everyone sign non-disclosure agreements he is free to appear on news programs to be interviewed.

Trump is a master persuader and salesman. I will give him that.

Trump is a halfwit who has failed in business & ripped a $billion off investors.

God help the world if he wins.

The good news is that a narcissist cannot tell the difference between the horizon and a cliff edge, so you can guarantee that sooner or later they'll drive themselves over it.

Thin skinned??

12 months ago all the leftie armchair commentators ( you know, the people who have never done anything, risked anything or achieved anything IN THEIR LIVES) were falling off their lounge chairs (where they spend most of their time) rolling on the floor laughing at Trump for running.

But he is immune to the social pressure, he is immune to the mediocre "group think" of the mediocre lefties.

Don probably achieves more in a day then a lefty intellectual will in a lifetime.

Leftie intellectuals really need to do some self reflection, stare deep into the mirror and become self aware.
they will see that their reaction to trump says a lot more about themselves then it does about Trump.

It says...when i see someone killing it in life, a real champion, i am not inspired. My ego goes into defense hyper drive. i know that it is my own laziness and cowardice that have prevented me walking the path of success. but if i admit that, my ego will take a blow. So I WILL BE DISHONEST WITH MYSELF and hate on Trump, to maintain my own status in the world.
Trump is now running for POTUS.
What is the average leftie intellectual running for...
president of the local tuck shop ?
secretary of the local neighborhood watch.
they are probably too self absorbed to even attempt that
