Given that choice. I would spoil my ballot.

If I absolutely HAD to vote for one of them at the point of a gun, it would be Trump because he's well known for giving up and doing something else if everything doesn't go his own way. Which it wont, to get stuff done a POTUS, you have to push hard and be prepared to compromise. Simply throwing money at a problem wont work in this arena. I don't believe he will have the willpower/attention span to undertake the necessary political machinations to make what he wants to happen, happen.

Hillary on the other hand is fucking dangerous, she hass the willpower to railroad her ideas through..

Hi

Really don't know.

Trump scares me enough that no way could I envisage voting for him. So that leaves Clinton or a spoiled ballot paper.

All the best

Funnily enough (given my above post) I'd actually vote Trump too. In the same way that I think a lot of the Brexit vote was about attacking the establishment, there's no way I could vote Clinton after seeing the way she gained her nomination. Absolute mess of media spin to ensure she got that place (though I'm not blaming her - she won't have been the one who chose who got the most/best air time). She doesn't deserve it at all. At least Trump has done his own thing and played relatively fair.

Definitely interesting/scary times ahead if he becomes the big boss though.

Trump.

Only then will we get to find out how accurate The Simpsons predictions about President Trump were.

I'm slightly surprised the CIA haven't decided that neither are suitable. Mind you, there's still time for that when they have their debate thingies.

Trump on the basis I quite like to watch the world burn, and he will start WW3. Also it feels like Hillary's been around forever.

I think it could be similar to the referendum where people have underestimated Trumps support, as his supporters are more average joe types, not really going to show up on your online opinion poles. However having alienated women and most ethnic minorities, probably not Laughing

With the exception of the referendum I don't vote anyway Thumbs Up

Hillary's not made a media appearance in like 260 days. I can't wait to see her debate Trump.

Trump at least has form of being a success. I would prefer someone that has built a huge business over the usual elected trash that have no experience running anything other than a car.

Presidents have advisers on all matters, so he will only have to make informed choices, pretty much what he would have been doing all his adult life. Successfully too.

That's not to say he is the best person in America to lead the country, just not as much as a buffoon as some elements of the media like to portray him. He would undoubtedly have had to have made to some huge decisions in his life that would have impacted thousands of people if he had got them wrong. Could anyone say that Hilary Clinton has had anywhere near the same background?

I don't particularly like Trump, but if you think about it, he isn't a complete fool.

Iirc, it's been proven that he'd be significantly richer if he'd just dumped his inheritance into a savings account. The only reason his business interests are as highly valued as they are is due to the manner in which he's set them up: because he passes non-liquid assets between his own businesses, he can declare said assets value as being whatever he wants, thus inflating the apparent sum value of them to whatever he pleases.

Oh, then you'll have no problem citing a credible source for that.

I've highlighted the important parts, by way of illustrating how statements about Trump tend to take off on a hyperbolic trajectory.

Val you are something else. to assume a brexiteer would vote for trump shows your yoghurt weaving ignorance in all its shining glory.

Most brexiteers would stick pins in their eyes rather than vote for Trump which obviously would never happen seeing as we dont have to put up with the arse, although i do believe theres some truth in Stinkwheels observations, Trump doesnt have the attention span to pull this off and will wander off in a sulk at some point, that is if he isnt fatally accidented by the CIA

id go as far as predicting that such an accident could easily take out both of what must be the worst ever pair of candidates and the hardest dilemma America has faced in its entire history of presidential campaigns.

I'd vote Trump any day of the week because Clinton worries the shit out of me. She is one devious lying bitch.

Anyway, a good bit of WW3 culling is what the human race needs to survive.

That was based on $100m dollars in 1978 (which was speculative at best) as he claims it was $1m, but most put the figure at $20m-$25m to be more like the real amount.
Then we come to the figure of that $100m being worth $6bn after investment. Trump puts his worth at $10bn, from let's say $50m.

The figures don't stack up, when you actually look at them. Trump has made a hell of a lot of money, paid a hell of a lot of taxes and generated jobs and good lives for thousands of people. He's a success, regardless of what profits he may or not have made, just by keeping his empire afloat through some tough times that have eaten banks and blue chip companies.

you forgot his favourite ploy Pjay. The man refuses to pay out in full what he owes to hard working business men because hes not happy, offers them a fraction of what is owed and lets his lawyers threaten them with lengthy and costly court hearings trying to fight for what they are owned until they accept a lower payment.

Companies go bankrupt because of him, hes a crook with enough money to pay off bent lawyers.

at least one company who worked for him on his course here in Aberdeenshire has gone bust, I know tow others who have not been paid.

I hope he is assassinated pretty quickly.

Trump is at least enough of a businessman to shitcan a venture that's going sour before it pulls everythng else down with it, even if it means taking a hit.

I don't know how he'll respond to the US balance of payments. You can't just declare it bankrupt, sell off its assets and start another courtry in a different name.

Trump, if you want to see the world burn. Hillary if you want to see a wave of feminism all over the states.

Nah, I'm not gonna even vote in this poll. Both candidates are a joke. But then again, I did vote for our current president Zeman, who's known for being drunk and clumsy in public, but at least he's hones and tries to please all the people of the land of beer. He did lie about all the EU stuff he now does and supports, but then again, it could be much worse than that.

Whatever Trump says makes my laugh. I mean, let's build a wall to keep the Mexicans out of the US? And that's only the tip of the iceberg. I don't have time nor I even want to study anything at this matter. But, if at least 10% of what the #ratfacedbastard from Last week tonight says is true, then Trump shouldn't be even allowed to have driving licence. Thumbs Up
