    Nothing crazy about it. She was right. A Country with no borders is no longer a country: immigration MATTERS to a lot of Americans, and I think we shall see it matters a hell of a lot to many other peoples too.

    Obama will be gutted. Everything that he worked for the last 8 years is about to go up in smoke.

    I tell you one thing

    No people or civilization in the history of human race has ever done statics like the USA does.

    They have a stat for everything......

    Trump will be the next POTUS. The next question is just how far the Dow will fall.

    How did your champagne go ?

    Wars in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia.
    The unaffordable care act as health insurance becomes more costly than a mortgage.
    Relations with Russia reset to cold war levels.

    Hopefully it all goes up in smoke, he was a failure, just a good talker.

    Anyone who thinks America has no borders has never looked into emigrating from a country.

    Wondering why Fox News has Trump at 254 votes where every other channel have him at 244.

    All those wars bar Syria came before him.

    Be a poor American and come back to me about health care you've no idea.

    He repaired decades old relations with Iran.

    The republican senate is the cause of America's ills

    He along with Hillary started the Liyban war by removing Gaddafi, as Gaddafi was right about terrorists in Benghazi.
    They absolutely destroyed that country.

    US laws were changed in the 50's to make it harder for europeans but easier for others to emigrate there, it's hard by design
    Hilary promised to bring in at least an additional 1 million muslim migrants if elected. Borders for some, not all. That's the issue, and the lack of transparency and accountability to taxpayers

    1928 was the last time a Republican president had 1928 was the last time a Republican president had Republican majorities in both houses.

    So if Trump overturns everything (ACA, Iran deal, climate change stuff, etc) it means Obama's 8 years in The White House was a complete waste of time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,855 ✭✭✭Nabber


    First BRexit, now Trump for POTUS.

    People want their countries back. People, states and countries should have the right to say who they do and don't want to allow into their country.

    it means more importantly that the economy - and the debt - are never turning around.

    You get the unique experience of listening to his first speech, and in a few minutes, his victory speech. Believe me, immigration matters a lot, especially illegal immigration:



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,533 ✭✭✭jooksavage


    Damn. Well, I was way off. I thought it'd be 4 years of Clinton plodding away and being criticised for everything she did ("Trump would have done it this way", etc). Now we'll see if a Trump administration can live up to its slogan. Who knows? I mean, nothing could surprise me at this point. If not, it'll be the biggest case of buyers regret in recent times.

    Anything on your privileged Irish view on health care? Have you even been to America? Do you know people who can't afford health care there? I do btw they have kids.

    What about Iran?

    Since you are choice choosing answers.

    So, as someone who was only picking up on The Donald's outrageous comments, rather than substantive policies, can someone give me a quick breakdown:
    1. Build the wall
    2. Prosecute Hillary
    3. ???

    There will be no wall, Trump will find Americas immigration policies are also already rock solid.

    There's no way Trump can be a healer when this is all said and done. Historically, the only way you get Americans to rally around their President is by picking an enemy overseas to take on a la Bush Jnr. I can see there being conflict in the next few years. Iran have always been on the neo-cons' list. Dark days ahead whoever they choose to pick a fight with.

    Your nonsense view that people only follow him by what the media say about him and that you are somehow the only smart person in the room to see the true Trump is hilarious in fact.

    Trump is very accessible you dont need a media filter to see the true trump


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,949 ✭✭✭A Primal Nut


    One good thing is that the sexual assault allegations didn't change the election. You can't have a situation where the media find 3 women who decide to reveal they were sexually assaulted three weeks before elections (they never mentioned it for 30 years) and have it put out all over the media with no evidence. It very much felt like a conspiracy that was coreagraphed by the media are some rich powerful people. The timing was too convenient and if Trump lost the media and rich, powerful people would see how easy it is to fix an election.

    Trump isn't a neo conservative. Every single neo conservative opposes him. Clinton was more likely to invade Iran.

    Why should Irish people care about health care in the US? What's more important is how America acts abroad.

    lol, you sound like a toddler stamping his feet.

    You will, you'll see. And seeing Trump's true character was never about smarts , and I would never claim to be the "smartest in the room", please.

    It's about heart.

    Trump has repeatedly trashed the deal Kerry agreed with Iran and pledged to scrap it. She would have had hawkish advisers I think, but I'm not convinced she would have listened to them; I don't think Trump will be interested in challenging his own hawks and will do whatever they want.

    Clinton is a neo conservative. She's a hawk. She wanted a war with Putin. She deposed ghadaffi.

    All American neo conservatives opposed trump. Including bush.
