I dispute that. Maggie?

A laminated abomination but not untypical of her era (consider Ena Sharples), my grandmother's barnet was similarly permed and lacquered, Harper and Trump are not follically typical of their generation.

If Trump wins somehow, hopefully the congress will be controlled by democrats and well a good congress will keep the president in check.

Not even sure Trump himself fully understands how restricted the president is in doing things and how much he does need congress to really get anything meaningful done.

If it is Trump hopefully the democrats have enough seats in congress to override vetoes.

I don't fear Trump as I know its basically not possible to do most of what he spews, and I just don't see him winning a general. And polls in primary season are so biased and one sided they only reflect how potential republican voters feel.

As an example he can say all he wants about changing the constitution, its not going to happen for any of the BS he spews, no way he will get support of the 37 or 38 states needed, and not even sure he realizes how hard it is to change that document.

I have heard that one of the reasons Trump does so well in the primaries is that Democrats are registering as Republicans just so they can vote for him.

That would be interesting. In an open primary state one doesn't need to re-register to a party, but I am not sure how many open primary states exist and how many have voted thus far.


I vote in a big but useless state as it will go democrat and it will go Clinton, Sanders likely won't even be in the race by June unless something big happens.


I just registered well re-registered since I moved. Have to re-register anytime something changes on your voter record. I am a bit excited they can now send the ballot by email which should reduce delays, in last election, I barely got it, and had to send back Fedex overnight.

I assume you'll vote correctly, comrade.
(You can disregard that, just noticed your avatar.)

I'd do that if I was a septic. Btw, would you like to see my monkeys paw?

I'm not entirely clear why you think it's fear. It's more a case of being ridiculous isn't it?

It would be a bit like Boris becoming PM. :rofl:

Or Jeremy Corbyn;) The voters will decide not us Canadians so we don't really get a say. We could do the Canadian thing and write a strongly worded letter to the Merican people telling them why they should not vote for him and we promise to spend more money in their country and offer them free poutine on their next visit washed down with a Timmies double double.

I fully applaud you on the "us Canadian" front....but once having reached the acme and gaining Citizenship, this surely doesn't mean that 'life goes on' and your other faculties are short circuited when it comes to international perspectives?

Unfortunately, the idea of democracy doesn't reach far, so even the thought of anyone having their say seems pointless in some parts of the world, here in Canada surely apathetic thoughts need to be discouraged actively?

Well not really. Trump going from 'Reality' TV game show host to President of the USA is a bit different to decades as an MP to opposition leader to PM.

There's a certain logic to one, a series of steps as it were, compared to something ridiculous. Imagine Hughie Green or Davina McCall becoming PM after their stints hosting Opportunity Knocks and Big Brother. At least Hughie was sincere. :rofl:
