Cable Forum - U.S Election 2016

That's how our system works. We've had no end of Prime Ministers who became so at a time other than a General Election. It's like the nonsense we had about Brown being unelected.

I always thought that in a general election you voted for the local MP you considered fit and proper of representing you.

I've never known of a general election to elect a leader of a party.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

Here are some facts for you.

Clinton won the overall majority vote BUT Trump won by the Electoral College Vote. They could have change the system. It was up to them.

Theresa May became PM by the Ministerial Vote NOT by the public vote - US.

If she went to the Country, she would win with a vast Majority. as Labour is very poor at the moment with Corbyn - he will NEVER be PM.

I cannot see Trump lasting long as he is upsetting many Americans.

Wasn't a ministerial vote Arthur, it was a vote by Tory MP's.

You really need to get your facts right before posting.

Upsetting the ones in the Blue States for obvious reasons.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

Pointless telling him to get anything right at this stage :erm:

Trump is such a savage though right? He's already up there at Bush and Cheney level... well not really. How dare he build a wall!? Why don't you invade somewhere in the middle east and fail to install a government, leaving it far worse than when you entered? Not just fancy bombing some hospitals? that's so much more president like.

Priceless.

More like I heard the donalds reaction when Marco rubio questioned their size but don't let facts get in the way of anything just like I won't let your opinion get in the way of anything I post, I post for my benefit not yours.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

I await the usual suspects railing about this in about 6 or 7 hrs.

"Trump’s Religious Freedom Order"

The media as usual put a different slant on it.

You didn't seem to know when you were making your bizarre claims about obsessions earlier, perhaps it's just because you don't like being reminded how insecure, thin skinned and un statesman like he really is, you'd think he'd have better things to do than pursue petty little vendettas and fret about the size of his inauguration, perhaps if he'd spent a little less time on that his 'not a Muslim ban' executive order might not have been such a shambles

Also, nothing bizarre about my claim of you obsessing about his apparent small hands given how many times you go on about it.

There's no doubt in my mind that Trump is suffering from the Farage effect and a good many people are so keen to deride everything he says/does that they'll turn a blind eye to everything else (including what he's inherited from his predecessors) and even blame him for stuff he's had little/nothing to do with. It's like a viral mass hysteria and right now it's based on precious little. Yes, he may turn out to be a disaster but it's far too early to say. What's undeniable is that, like Farage, he's set the cat amongst the pigeons.
