Re: US Election 2016
 
Most of my american friends are having real problems with this election as neither candidate is acceptable to them and for the first time they are considering not voting and also for the first time ever are questioning the whole system that has led them to this point. This election is going to be so damaging for the US socially that it's going to take more then either candidate has to fix it.

And the 2% figure comes from Fox News, that well-known Liberal Lefty organisation...

More dodgy links and sources Hugh, when are you going to stop googling all this crap to me ?

Facts are our friends - just because you won't accept them doesn't make them untrue....

Here is the figures straight from the Fox News site.

A new Fox News poll found that just one percent of African Americans support Donald Trump.
Or are you saying that Fox News supports Hillary?

Trump's path to success has always seem to have been to significantly outperform Romney amongst white men without a college degree. He was doing that but the problem is that he is underperforming Romney elsewhere. White men with a college degree are usually Republican but it's a lot closer this time. Minorities he is doing worst amongst, so much so in fact that some of the Southern states might be in play.

If he loses though it's the women who'll cost him. Last time they were 52% of the vote and he is falling amongst that demographic like a lead brick.

As Pierre mentioned previously if Clinton does win both parties need to look at where Trump support comes from and look at their concerns.

But it is not factual at all, I am not a sucker for googling and believing everything I find in the results is even remotely true.

Only one poll matters to me and that is the official one on 8/11/16.

I notice you're not at all posting anything from Wikileaks, is there a reason for that ? Or do you not want to post stuff from there because it really reveals interesting Intel about dodgy and crooked Hillary ?

Clinton would indeed be disaster for middle /working class Americans and African Americans.

A credible republican candidate would wipe the floor with her.

Trump is not it, but i'd love to see him win just for the he'll of it.

During these rants by Trump. Hee hasn't said anything about what he will do for the Country. If he becomes President.
All he keeps ranting about Clinton.

Clinton will make a better President than Trump.

It appears that America is being warned for war. Can you imagine what Trump will do if he wins

Re: US Election 2016
 
He's just gone weird since that 2nd debate, well weirder. Yesterday he said Clinton was on drugs during the 2nd debate and maybe they should have a drug test for this debate. Read some the transcripts as well, he sort of goes off on a tangent about odd things. His attacks go from Clinton (will be in prison), his accusators (i wouldn't touch that) and his own party.

Apart from a few tabloids the main papers/networks are avoiding that story. I suspect they have their reasons. Treat with extreme caution.

We already know what he'll do if he becomes president, build a wall and make Mexico pay for it and stop Muslims entering the country till 'we know what the hell is going on' and considering someone will have to explain it to him once we've found out what's going on that could take years.

Watched it and didn't see anything particularly terrible. People are entitled to change their minds sometimes :shrug:

Bit like how the mainstream press ignored the Cologne New Years sexual assaults and rapes for a week or two till the news couldn't be contained anymore :shrug:

Or it's simply not true / no evidence of it being true.
