British Expats - 2016 Election

She definitely seems to have spooked him.

Fox News came out earlier this evening and mocked Trump on his decision not to attend, which is probably one of the most deliberately unprofessional things I've seen a News organization do.

Fox News and Donald Trump deserve each other.

Fox News is the propaganda wing of the Republican Party so it's no surprise they are doing its bidding in wasting no opportunity to ridicule Trump.

How does this idiot think he's going to be able to deal with foreign leaders he doesn't like should the evil day come he gets to the White House ?

Polonium-laced tea. There's precedent, attributed by our own UK to another respected and highly successful world leader.

â€œI am not actively involved with organized religion,â€ - Bernie Sanders.

Just another reason to support Bernie Sanders, he's not factoring what some ancient text says about sky faeries into his decisions.

I laughed out loud listening to Donald Trump talking about his years of attending Sunday school. I think that if Trump actually was religious, somebody might have actually noticed by now and he wouldn't be having to try so hard to convince us. It does make perfect sense that he's getting the evangelical vote ---- they're a bunch of ****ing hypocrites.

I do agree with Trump about the Republican debates at this stage --- completely pointless.

Yes, a good reason, and the fact that he is honest about it (compared to Trump's religious pantomime) adds to his authenticity. Not that religious Americans will see it this way.

Bernie's problem is that as one black politician pointed out recently among blacks and Hispanics 'no one knows who the hell he is" He wont win the nomination if he doesn't get their support and so far that's not happening. His main support base is among young white liberals

I like his ideas about universal health coverage and free tuition for college and university students but it's pie in the sky stuff. You don't have to be a professor of economics to know that taxing the wealthy and the middle class wont cover the cost by half and doing that can also lead to a serious downturn in the economy when at this time it's not that great anyway

He should talk to French Premier Francois Hollande and get some input from his experience

Yes Trump and his "Two Corinthians". I'm not a God squadder, but I understand that's a no-no.

His latest claim is that his Scots mother said it that way, which doesn't sound right to me. In the UK we say Second World War, rather than World War Two, and I certainly only ever heard Second Corinthians back in the day.
