trump for president good/bad for ireland

The first Clinton vs Trump debate is tonight.

Live on BBC News channel and streamed on youtube.
 
The Donald has gone out a bit in the betting suggesting the betting markets think Hillary won the debate.

I'm not so sure. The Donald has the redneck vote in his pocket so his objective is to win some of the sensible folk. I think stating that blacks have an awful time, denying he disbelieved climate change and generally looking considerably more restrained than his caricature image will have won more undecided votes than Hillary.

As to stamina for a 68 year old and 70 year old both showed incredible stamina. 96 minutes of pure entertainment, better than any soccer match I have ever seen.

There is no doubt that Hilary won the debate. What the betting markets are reacting to is who will win the election. In this crazy election, these two factors are way, way off-kilter.

Take the point of climate change. Trump told bare-faced, verifiable lies and you believe (and good Allah almighty, maybe rightly) that this may actually improve his chances! That's what's scary about all this.

One final point, his defence of the lawsuit filed against him for racial discrimination (that it was settled with no admission of guilt) was a particular low even by his standards.

I see The Donald has had a lash at The Denis. Goes to show nobody is all bad. The Donald can't be all bad if he has a lash at The Denis and The Denis can't be all bad if gets a lash from The Donald.

Speaking at a rally in Nevada on Wednesday, the Republican nominee said: “I don't care how sick you are. I don't care if you just came back from the doctor and he gave you the worst possible prognosis, meaning it's over. Doesn't matter. Hang out till November 8. Get out and vote."

Some lad!
 
this massive tax writeoff due to losses caused in 1995? (which allowed him to not have to pay tax for 20 years) what were the cause of this
also is he paying tax on any profits he is obtaining from his business here?

Not so sure about that. Video tapes of him talking like a misogynist teenage lout, and when he was 59 and just newly married, and Bush's nephew giggling along. Hollywood couldn't make this up. Can't wait till tomorrow's debate.
 
Just the kind of people Americans deserve. Down and dirty, in the gutter trading personal insults and criticising others.

Trump seems to find Hilary guilty of something sordid and sexist due to her husband's actions, the old cult guilt by by association brought into play.

An unedifying sight, ad hominem slagging from start to finish and any attempt to address serious issues was swallowed by the personal rancour. Why bother with moderators and rules (or any pretence at decorum or basic manners) with the level of participant on view?

Trump's promise to Hilary was chilling. If elected he will appoint a personal prosecutor to pursue his vendetta against her.

Shows he knows bugger all about the separation of powers under the US Constitution.

It wasn't hard since the moderator was clearly completely on her side

The exact same method was used by the Clintons.

Fun fact....when Ol' Bill was President couldn't he have changed the rules?

He was President from 1993 to 2001

Have you ever had a conversation with someone where you'd said you'd love to do so and so (insert bedroom gynnastics) to Miss so and so?

Imagine if that conversation had been recorded?

I'd ask how exactly is it misogynistic?

It was a private conversation between two men.

I am certain if he'd known he was being recorded he'd never have said it.

When he said he could do anything he pleased because women almost never complained he was speaking the truth.

Women (obviously not all women...but a sizable amount) are only too happy to take a chance in order to get 'close' to him.
 
S.L.F. are you trolling or does that F stand for Farage? Nigel strongly defended The Donald saying it was no less than what he expected from an alpha male. WTF is an "alpha" male?
 
Duke, the Donald is certainly not someone I would ever dream of defending but imho it is equally disgusting that the Clintons have decided to bring the campaign down to unprecedented lows with this type of stuff. This is the ugliest presidential campaign ever and that is saying something!

I am so glad you asked, because I have been wanting to let off steam on that one for a while.

An Alpha Male (two capitals please) is someone who was bullied as a child, at school or at home or possibly both, now as an adult he has, ahem, issues. He works out these issues basically by running around shouting "Look at me, I can do whatever I like".

Such a person often finds themselves in a position of power, driven by ambition to overcome their childhood anxieties, there they get to indulge their demons on others, or in a position of fame where they can enjoy the whole world watch them act out.

Unfortunately there are always those who indulge their bad behaviour through fear or some type of codependency need.

I enjoyed that thank you for your time.
 
Trump ,

He won,t win and is but a manifestation of the worst of the old (Tea Party) Sarah Palin spouting , that Republicans should have challenged after Obama won the first term. .
He looks now like a train wreck about to crash straight into the Republican Party !
Will be interesting to see how the Republican Party regroup.

Methinks they (republicans) have nestled a cuckoo!
 
Why is everyone so surprised that many American's are planning on voting Trump?. After all, in living memory the USA have elected as President at least 3 serial womanisers (all Democrats), a twice married ham actor with early signs of dementia, a reformed alcoholic and another republican who was known for an affair with one of his staff . The only elected US Presidents who seem to have controlled themselves in terms of the bedroom before Obama were Carter,and Nixon and it's not like they will go down as all time greats.

I'm not condoning or agreeing with Trump BTW, just saying we shouldn't be surprised. I also wonder if we are in any position to lecture the Americans. After all we re-elected as leader a guy with no bank account.
 
thedaddyman,

Such wilful cynicism !

But wasn,t Nixon caught snooping @ Watergate.
Must grant you Carter though, and I think Obama won,t be badly judged in time..

We I agree, had issues over Mr Digouts and Mr Charvey Shirts.

And the world survived .
 
Yep, it's ironic that Carter was an appallingly bad president and Clinton was so very popular.
