    Why is she always coughing? She is clearly not well and should drop out. She isn't in a healthy state to be President. She is being forced to run by people in higher positions.

    God bless A little Pony, and God bless Donald Trump.

    Why is Trump always clutching his side in agony and having to deal with constant nosebleeds?

    He eats junk food constantly, he has the unhealthy pallor of a corpse and gets sprayed orange to try and disguise it.

    And lets not forget his doctors "report" said all his tests came back positive, so he's plainly riddled with disease.

    True, there's some of that going on in both sides. It does seem the Libertarian and Green candidates are damaging Hillary more than Trump so far.

    Trump was only carrying 78% of the Republican vote last poll I read. Don't know about Hillary but I'd expect a push from Sanders nearer the election if his support becomes a big problem.

    Aye Bernie will be expected to give a final push to Clinton, however you could also argue those Republicans who are horrified by Trump may still get behind him purely as a "lesser of 2 evils" policy, don't forget for many of them Hilary is the devil.

    Basically whoever who can motivate their biggest doubters will win the election [/obvious)

    Johnson is hurting Clinton more than Trump according to recent reports, that is more due to the fact that Johnson is dire at talking to conservatives who are desperate for an alternative to the gruesome twosome and much more comfortable talking about stuff like open borders and weed control which are things that appeal to the more leftie of voters and turn off conservatives.

    yes but the " devil you know" etc and that is what is playing in moderate republicans minds ( and their blogs ) . There are three camps

    1. Mad dog tea party types , will follow Trumo to their grave
    2. Right wing nation republicans : Hate Trump but will not vote for either
    3. Moderate Republicans: hate trump and see clinton as in effect a moderate Republican ( which she is in fact )

    I see Trump saying he will not be supporting regime change as has happened under the Obama administration and which Hillary was a cheerleader for when secretary of State.
    He said he would use diplomacy as all regime change has brought us is regime change with no plan for what comes after and the vacuum has been filled with terrorism, death and destruction.

    Funniest sentence Trump has ever said.

    Trump as republican nominee, attempted coup in Turkey and massive personel purge and push for death penalty (and their EU application attempt still not rejected), Boris Johnson as FOREIGN SECRETARY....

    What a time to be alive. I'm loving it. This is all massively entertaining.

    Lavished praise on Putin, mocked the armed forces (generals "reduced to rubble"), lied about his support for the Iraq, essentially blames women in the armed forces for rape, never gives specifics on any of his policies..

    The sheer power of populism, showmanship and celebrity

    And a shining example of why we shouldn't give any support to Sinn Fein or any of the looney left.

    I hate to point out the blindingly obvious, but the Republicanus Trumpius specimen is an example of the loony right.

    Not that we should be giving power to the loony anything.

    I think Trump is going to win this election. I wonder what his odds were when he started the campaign.

    From Betfair today:

    Hillary Clinton 2/5
    Donald Trump 11/5
    Bernie Sanders 40/1

    Think I will have a little flutter on Sanders in case Clinton drops out due to ill health.

    Possibly, but then his Mexico visit went well, and it seems the Mexican President then lied about what was discussed as he was getting a lot of stick for meeting Trump.

    I'd be interested to see some proof that the Mexican president lied. It was all a bit contradictory, but the only one that came close to contradicting himself was Trump that I saw. Something else come out since?

    The visit went great for Trump.
    During press conference Trump said the wall was not discussed and the Mexican president during the press conference did not disagree.
    It was only when Trump was in the air and close to landing in Phoenix that Pena Nieto said they did and disagreed.
    The Mexican president got nothing but criticism for the meeting and now the finance minister has resigned and it is said to be related to Trump's visit.
    If the Mexican president had challenged Trump on the wall, there was nothing in the press conference with Trump where he indicated that.
    It looks like he saw the criticism, went into damage control as commentators said Trump looked presidential on the visit.
    Everything points to Pena Nieto tried to save face with his comments.

    Chine treated Obama as a joke. No one has any respect for him. He is seen as weak and that includes Hillary too. She will look weak in the eyes of Russia and China.

    Trump will be tougher on foreign policy. He just looks stronger than her. She is weak.

    Berating Russia while arming the Free Syrian Army which is practically putting arms into the hands of ISIS is safe? So many people don't have a clue just how awful her foreign policy decisions have been down the years and the current situation in Syria.

    The same Russia that is supporting the Turkish destruction of the Kurds! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-33690060

    The same Russia that Trumps praises while attacking his own president? That same Putin who was in the KGB.

    Trump is already acting as Putin's puppet, which seems to be something you would like.

    America has lost another ally with the Philippines.

    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/barack-obama-rodrigo-duterte-philippines-president-son-bitch-a7231621.html

    The Philippines is supposedly a key supporter of America in the South China Sea. Given America's redundant foreign policy it seems like other Nations are refusing to abide by the dictates of Washington policy. Going their own way. With friends like Duterte who needs enemies.

    So you support the Philippines presidents shoot to kill policy on drug dealers and users the death count exceeding 2000. In any event a bit of a climb down http://edition.cnn.com/2016/09/05/politics/philippines-president-rodrigo-duterte-barack-obama/

    Seems like the bully tried the wrong guy. Wonder who he reminds mo of.

    Not sure why so many are against Obama he got in at the worst possible recession and timing,yet he got elected twice,hes people person not some clown to sprout ****e every time he opens his mouth like Trump,funny average person who doesnt take crap seriously-when being mocked,not trying to play tough guy like clown Putin riding in siberia or working out in his mansions,petting tigers just for the looks of tough,that **** is more for likes of north korea regime.

    Its fair to say that this election has two worst candidates running in history,but for what it is,at least Hillary isn't promising doomsday scenario,and if she gets in most likely continue where Obama left,speaking of trump his only strength is his big mouth,running hotels and constructions businesses,and 0 political awareness,specially when he speaks when his brains are asleep.its already visible that people cope to their senses and that whatever trump has in his small head itll backfire,and most likely wont be seen for years since no one will want to be even close to him.

    What exactly is wrong with Clinton? Most vetted candidate in history with 25 years worth of Republican investigations trying to take her down and all they show for it is sone emails? Imo considering the level of scrutiny she is as flawless as a politician can get. I haven't seen anyone have a valid reason for hating her except for Benghazi, whitegate, Vince foster blah blah insert ct here

    Worst President since Carter. Actually worse as race relations are at its worst since the 60s.
