American politics

Hillary is a great example of a modern day 'career politician' and no matter how 'slippery' and 'establishment' we think these types are. It does not mean we have to act like petulant teenagers and rally behind some 'barn pot' or other because we want to show the world we care and or we are different!

History has had it share of 'parn pots' in the past, elected by even more barn pots whose only rationale was 'we have had enough' and or 'we want a change'.

If you want examples of your average 'barn pot' look no further than some of the speakers at the Trump rallies and the Labour "Party" 'convergence' in Liverpool. These examples are only being used because the are recent sightings of this creature. They are though to seen in many different locations throughout the planet.

My position is vote Hillary in and spend 4 years trying to find some presidential candidates.
But I suspect some may take a similar view, except Trump is the signal that when you come back in 4 years we want something credible, not just a brick from the Whitehouse

My position is vote her in and then impeach as soon as possible (likely to be about 5 or 6 weeks on her form).
 
very good performance by Trump, Great angle by his team posting himself as the "outsider" while she is the establishment politician who just talks a good game. Trump solidified his base with his antics and whilst all the news organizations will say Clinton won the debate and she's obviously more articulate, qualified, knowledgable etc, BobbyJo from Louisiana will trust Trump over Clinton 100 times out of 100
 
BobbyJo would be voting Repuglian anyway!
I don't think there's a lot of swing vote to go at this year. The difference will be turnout. I suspect there will be a very low turnout this year and that most neutrals will stay away.

I don't think either candidate has particularly enthused their core base so appealing to that at this point is probably clever.

Agree re; turnout and with the PR/electoral college system it could make it interesting.
Pensilvania and Virginia could be seen as swing depending on turnout and have 20 vs 13 votes - so which way they (and similar marginals) go could be quite important

BoobyJo is a macaron and can only understand other macarons, so you are right on this. He/she/it will vote Trump no matter what comes out of his mouth. Most of it is gobbledygook but they'll recognise enough words to be convinced he said something meaningful. Those votes are dead to the democrats and are not even worth fighting for.

I do agree that Trump played it clever by effectively managing to blame everything that's wrong in US society, whether real or fictional, on politicians like her. It was a scatter gun attack which may convince some of the less cerebral voters to side with him. Clinton did not do enough to rebuff this tactic or divert the blame to it's source which often was previous republican administrations.

Clinton came across as the only one on stage with any sort of coherent plan or policies. Trump doesn't seem to have any thought out strategy on anything really or at least can't articulate it beyond his usual hyperbole.

The South Park version of the election currently running is hilarious as always. Sadly 95% of all Americans probably don't even realise they're being made fun of.

" Land of the free, Home of the brave" are so brainwashed they have no idea ( or care) what others think of their lives.
