Be 100% honest, I'm just curious, how does the international community view the US's current crop of presidential candidates? I pretty much hate them all, so you won't offend me with any answers. |

Trump all the way. I don't agree with all his policies but he has shown a willingness to listen and amend some of his views when faced with more information. His economic and related policies, and the thwarting of this globalization and putting everything into the hands of unelected barons must end. The US population is getting incredibly frail and stupid. Nationalism is what is required. Sanders is a liar. Clinton is a multi-faceted criminal. Cruz is sleaze - pure sleaze. And a liar. Kasich I am not concerned with. Carson can play a huge role in a government but not as leader. The rest are out of it. Chris was OK but not a president. Most of my friends who are pretty smart people either like Trump, or agree to put up with him because he is probably what both the US and the world needs right now. Most people were incredulous that criminals like the Clintons or the Bush family are even contemplated by the American public. Amazing what is happening. Back to Trump he has single handed raised awareness and transparency of how evil and corrupt the establishment truly is. For that alone he deserves to be in the white house. |

Donald Trump is an assclown. That is all. First time I've registered to vote in the US, and these are the candidates I get?! What fun. |

If I might also add, this is a significant election. Sovereignty of all western nations is virtually gone. So many of their laws are made in corporate board rooms. We saw that in the EU and now the last bastion - the US - has become even worse than the EU. Things are done by treaty. The US now must collect this fraudulent carbon tax. This will be embedded in everything you buy - even pumpkins. The US government is now treaty bound to collect this in perpetuity and the only way out of it is to break the treaty. Please think about that. Where does the money go? To Liechtenstein with trading in London where they are happily securitizing 10 year tax collections to accelerate their gains - more than $10 trillion a year. Again who gets that money? Goldman Sachs and that lot because it isn't going back to the people. In the UK it was Nigel Farage. Hugely smart and decent and the media and the establishment launched a smear campaign against him that brought tears to the eyes of some of my Brit friends. However bad Nigel's attacks, they were nothing compared to what Trump has had to endure. The question you must ask yourself is why the entire establishment and large corporations and pharmaceutical companies and oil companies are against Trump. Why? Because he can balance a budget in 3 years. How? Eliminating corruption and theft. Ensuring audited financials are actually prepared. That the big guilty people like Obama and Clinton and Clinton and Bush and Bush and Bush are actually put in jail. That is how you end corruption. I could go on about all that. I next address policies. Trump's policies in the important areas. Economic including taxation and trade, reducing wasteful regulations, trade.... These are all spot on and it is an area of my particular expertise. Education and health care - he is well on his way to the right track. I was gleeful when he started talking about reducing pharmaceutical costs by perhaps $300 billion a year just by negotiating. I find that Trump supporters seem to be more aware and more thoughtful than the anti-Trump people. That is what I find. It is understandable for people who still think the mainstream media is actually reporting news rather than creating propaganda are portraying an accurate picture of Trump. They are not, but it is understandable. If I get annoyed it is when people flip out one liners that are insulting, without any substance, not backed up in any manner and offensive. For people that truly care about their freedoms it is annoying that people are so careless and lazy in their analysis of what is going on and who is saying what. Personally I think Trump, with all his warts (and make no mistake there are lots of areas I disagree with him, including abortion (I am a compromise supporter), war on drugs, gay marriage and such where I tend to be liberal, is still by far the best candidate in my memory and I am 61 years old. So if you shovel a flippant and derogatory and insulting comment, in truth it annoys me and I shall refrain from using the words that come to my mind because we are friends in this forum. I would ask you, however, to either put some meat on your criticism, retract it or at least remain silent until you have something intelligent to say. |

In the interests of keeping things civil here, because I've seen far too many political threads get out of hand on various forums and I've had major disagreements with close friends due to differing politics, I shall retract my criticism. |

Just a personal view, I have no faith in any mainstream candidates of any European Country or America. They are puppets to the real power brokers and Democracy is a mere illusion of what it should be. There are two parties in America and two in the UK. You vote for one or the other and a vote for any other party that tries to reach the table does not stand a chance. Will you ever see an independent win, no! so what is the difference between the Democracy we have compared to a dictatorship? Both are engineered so no matter who is the face of the leader, the real power is not them! Trump is a side show, but whether he realised it or not, he has shown the depth that people are so embittered with the current set up, he is not answer as he still has to bow to the party that he will represent, even if in public he can say things that Americans want to hear, doing something about it, is another matter! We have Trump type candidates who even have their own political party, Farage and UKIP are the recent ones. They say the things that rally peoples thoughts and make them think there is another way, but it never changes the fact one or the other gets in power! Its as though the establishment allow them to rant a little to show there is a democracy, then squash them with their far superior PR money at election time. A bit like ZION in the MATRIX!! |
