Does anyone here think Trump is a safe bet for Pres?

[Albion my Albion]

the hillary has dementia/mental illness etc has gone way too far.

I genuinely found a republican publication the other day claiming that she was DEAD and her body double is going to run for president only for her to resign and hand it to her VP.

I heard that Hillary's running mate,Tim Kaine, senator from Minnesota, would be a much better president than Mike Pence, governor of Indiana, Trump's running mate. Although I heard that both Kaine and Pence would be better than Trump.

Any GOP candidate since the 1964 election would beat Clinton (maybe with the exception of Bob Dole)
Any Democrat candidate since 1988 would beat Trump.

Basically any other current candidate from the current crop would beat Trump/Clinton

Even Ford - the man who was described as not being able to walk and chew gum at the same time?

Don't think Hillary could manage that-she's too busy spitting wasps.No wonder Bill goes elsewhere (allegedly).

Hope a Trump victory doesn't mean some miserable so-and-sos coming back here from the US-plenty of room in the EU!

Does anyone here think Trump is a safe bet for Pres?

It would seem HW Bush doesn't think so:-

US Republican ex-President George HW Bush will vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton in November, US news website Politico reports.
Mr Bush allegedly made the pledge to Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, niece to US ex-President John F Kennedy.
The former president's office has not confirmed the report, with a spokesman saying he was checking.
Mr Bush, who held office from 1989 until 1993, has not endorsed Republican candidate Donald Trump.

Sorry, do you mean the lesser as in 'of two evils' or as in 'worst choice'?

I would be less scared of Clinton as president than Trump.

Does that make sense?

It does indeed, if you meant it the other way around I'd have been a little baffled.

Talk about forgiving and forgetting. It was Secretary Clinton's husband, President Bill Clinton, that defeated George HW Bush for president in 1992.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1992

As of 2016, this is the most recent election in which an incumbent president was unseated, the last one having been the 1980 election in which Ronald Reagan unseated then-incumbent Jimmy Carter.

Every leader has failed the states in recent decades and they've done nothing for the 10's of millions in poverty...voting for Clinton is voting for the same old shite.
Trump may turn out to be shit or he may just turn out to be something special....for many it's worth the punt as things can't get much worse.

How can you take someone, especially a President, seriously, when they are named after a fart?

Worked out well for Steve McLaren.....can't put your faith in a man who uses a brolly!

Not really, given that Clinton is a huge warmonger.

This is an interesting report. Four polling organisations work with exactly the same raw data and come up very different results.

While this is nominally about Trump v Clinton, it does give some insight in how pollsters got things so wrong in this country. If there's a wide discrepancy on the data, before we start talking about sampling and whether questions are neutral, it's a wonder that polls aren't even further apart

 

[Hamilton]

We basically find ourselves in a position where every political leader or potential leader in every country bar Canada and Germany is a dickhead. Doesn't bode well for humanity.
