Obama was on Jimmy Kimmel Live, reading out Tweets.

He read one from Trump

President Obama will go down in history as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States!

Obama replied

at least I will go down as president

I call that OWNED :D

Re: US Election 2016
 

He will have more egg on his face, when Trump becomes the 45th President, according to the Internal polling, he is set for a landslide victory. I don't believe the biased polling from biased media news outlets trying to keep the light on with Crooked Hillary.

But just going back to Obama for a second, he will will go down as one of the dullest Presidents ever, what legacy does the World have thanks to him and largely, Crooked Hillary when she was Sec. of State?

Answer: The Uprising of ISIS and the unstable happenings in the Middle East. Complete and utter disastrous policies led by them both.

We can also I suppose thank him for interfering with our Brexit referendum, threatening us that we would be at bottom of the queue when it comes to trade deals, ooops what PR rhetoric, fed you that crap? Americans don't say queue...., many saw past it and voted against the fool he got egg on his face for that haha.

In his own Country, lots of Americans have got totally fed up of Obamacare, with ridiculous rises in costs for it.

Crooked Hillary would continue where Obama left off and I think most Americans don't want that and would vote for change and they know they would get that with Trump and get most of the same with her.

Trump has this Election bagged because the alternative is too bent, lied and during the Election campaign, she has employed some dodgy practices, including inciting trouble at Trump rallies and let's not shy away from the fact, she has been part of the establishment for 30+ years.

Re: US Election 2016
 

To be fair.......not bad at all.

Re: US Election 2016
 

Mick you don't have access to internal polling. I am not sure if you're seeking a reaction here but there is no evidence of a pending landslide for Trump. There might be a case to be made that the polls underestimate his support and, combined with low turnout, he causes an upset.

By the way you can get some clues about internal polling from the way the campaigns behave. Clinton is buying ads in Texas and Arizona and moving money away from states like Virginia and Colorado. Trump appears to have given up on Pennsylvania. These are not the actions of a campaign with internal polling saying they're onto a landslide. If they were why are we not seeing Trump trying to take some blue states like Colorado?

And incidentally for the 'biased mainstream media' these are the same polls that had Trump winning the nomination. That got the last two US elections spot on. Why are they bad now? and not just bad but so bad that instead of Clinton being +7 it will be a landslide for Trump?

Anyway two weeks today and we'll see if Trump has this bagged or not.

But do you agree, his words could badly backfire ?... :p:

Damien, Crooked's Hillary's running mate Kaine, had 30 people turn up at one of his Florida Rallies, that is bad, as Florida is a key swing state. Trump manages 10 K - 20K at almost every rally of his and he managed it well again at a rally in Florida. Clinton herself struggles to get 1000 at her own rallies, when she actually goes out to do them.

I already discussed the support being shown on social media for both candidates, the difference being more than a few million between them both.

Re: US Election 2016
 

Mick, are you drunk.

I personally cannot see Trump winning. In fact l saw a guy in West London today wearing a Donald Trump T SHIRT. An l said 'you must be the only one' and everyone laughed

I can see Clinton winning, but it will be close. I read the American every night. You cannot have a prat like Trump as President. If he won. He would last about three months before someone shot him

Re: US Election 2016
 

And Chris has explained the same happened for the Yes campaign in Scotland.

Corbyn has big rallies and lots of Twitter followers. He isn't exactly doing that well either though. The people who attend these things are never representative of the public. Romney was saying the same thing about having bigger rallies back in 2012.

Incidentally voting has started and whilst it's far too early to draw clear conclusions, certainly not about whose one, there isn't anything that has caused alarm for pollsters. http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news...ar-in-colorado

Re: US Election 2016
 

I saw what Chris said don't believe it can be compared to the US Election.

Anyway, I just went to Hillary Clinton's official facebook page and she is getting so many negative comments on her own page... just seen this one LOL...

And another comment here from a post on her wall....

I could not careless what you read Arthur, I SPEAK to Americans every night, so hows that for you and they think it's crooked Hillary who is the prat.

Also, stop advocating an assassination attempt, like you did in one of your last posts on here, pretty sure it's federal crime even suggesting it. You also say it like it would be okay to go around shooting people, it is not, no matter how much a person is hated for whatever reason. I can't stand the ground Hillary walks on, but I would not welcome any kind of violence towards her in anyway shape or form. So please stop repeating those lines.

And no I am not drunk.

Re: US Election 2016
 

Twitter is the worst possible place to gauge an election outcome. Evidence of activism is not evidence of population-wide voter intent. Only time will tell what actually happens, but people are people, wherever in the world they are, and if it's coming down to claims of long voter lines, tweets and numbers of placards then yes, it is very much like what happened here in 2014.

Re: US Election 2016
 

While i do think trump has more support then polls show i don't think it's enough to get him the election but for me the big thing is how many of my american friends do believe this election may be rigged or corrupted somehow. Such a massive change in 8 years back when obama was running for the first time so many including a few republican supporters were hoping he represented a new era of politics. Now most of them loathe him and have nothing good to say about him and i think that's why his legacy will not be that positive comparing the promise to what was delivered he hasn't been very good.

While the US election is the most glaring example of poor political options it is certainly more widespread and is going to affect many of us in the coming years as we end up with only the corporate lackey's for representatives.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell to vote for Hillary Clinton in US election as many moderate republicans switch their allegiance.

Re: US Election 2016
 

Doesn't really mean anything in the grand scale of things. One could argue that he is perhaps used to aligning himself with corrupt leaders, having served under one.

Put it this way, I don't think Trump will be upset with his vote for the devil.

Re: US Election 2016
 

Well l cannot blame you for remaining positive Mick even though the omens are pretty ominous with all the polls pointing to a hemorrhaging of Trumps support these past few weeks as many start to realise what a basket case he is although to put it bluntly Hilary Clinton is not exactly the best candidate the Democrats could have had but she is the worst of two evils IMO.
