    I wouldn't suggest telling the French that Germany dominates the EU, you might get a rather hostile response.

    Yep
    But the truth hurts lol

    Lest we forget we all support the best team in the world (well we all believe that, right?) and there is nothing wrong with healthy debate...all I have to say on this matter is that there is a much bigger issue going on than UK leaving the EU club....Trump declared official Republican candidate of the most powerful nation in the known world...just think about that....

    Its scary but the way things are going Clinton will win, she's even on course to win Arizona which has been a "Red state" since 2000.

    You think a Clinton win is scarier than a Trump presidency? ;hmm ;nonono
  • pardewalegendpardewalegend
    Clinton will win it will be rigged just like it was when bush got in
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    In what way will it be rigged?

    The Bush-Gore Florida situation was far from as simplistic as you seem to imply:

    Grey - No, I think Trump being GOP presidential candidate is scary but Clinton is going to win.

    Hanging chads

    Clintons stock is damaged and imo, she is a totally power driven politician who will primarily look out for number one and feather her own nest, however, she is not likely to lead us off the reservation.

    The polls are closer than I am comfortable with but I trust that she will carry the day.

    It is staggering to me that the Republicans could not put up a candidate with broader appeal.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    I think its staggering to most Republicans they ended up with Trump. I suspect that after the dust has settled the GOP leadership will draw up a list of qualifications for future presidential candidates so they can't have a repeat of this fiasco. Trump was a Democrat from 2001-2009.

    So was the referendum fixed to achieve a Leave result?
  • pardewalegendpardewalegend
    Did I mention that??

    No, your mistake is conflating two different things.

    The fact that corruption exists, and that individuals are corrupt, in no way implies that the US election is, will be, or ever has been 'rigged'.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    The thing with bush is that one can forgive the American population for voting him in once. When in office though he proved himself to be not very bright at all. So I am scratching myself to understand why the American electorate decided in their wisdom that he would be worthy of a second term.

    Perhaps our WH supporting friends over the pond can shed some light?

    actually it was the same idea, the Leave campaign was advised and financed by someone who was inspired by the Trump model: "The facts dont work"http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/brexit-news-donald-trump-leave-eu-campaign-facts-dont-work-arron-banks-lies-referendum-a7111001.html
