Scep with all your ramblings the only thing you have proved to me is what a conceited person you are, you have no idea and would be lost without Google etc.
er, yes, Reason….
drac, I’m not sure what Trump’s policies actually are. He shoots his mouth off a lot, but then withdraws what he says.
The guy reminds me of Mussolini – jaw thrust forward, hands gesticulating. Like Musso, he’s presenting himself as the strong man, the guy who can get things done, no-nonsense, the anti-elitist millionaire who’ll make everyone else millionaires too cos he’s smart enough not to pay tax, the guy who’ll make his country great again and get the trains to run on time.
He is consistant on a few policy issues:
1) He wants to renegotiate trade deals so that there are no one-directional tarifs.
2) He wants to repeal obamacare, and allow insurance providers to compete across state borders.
3) Reduce illegal immigration into the country.There might be some other policies he has too, but i’m not too sure.

All those policies are endorsed by the Republican Establishment (though I’m not sure what one-directional tariffs are, or which ones he’s taking aim at).
His appeal is against the Establishment, though. You deconstruct too literally, and as a result you can (not always) catch the letter while missing the spirit.
Specific policies are less important than an image with Trump. He is the Mussolini character – the strong man who can get things done.
He does look to be in real trouble now – he’s always been an obscenity waiting to happen. he’s recovered from damned awful things before, but it will be fascinating to see how and if Benito Trump can get out of this one.

Trump has said the same thing about tarifs since the 70’s as far as I know. The example he usually gives (don’t know how accurate it is) is that US imports from Mexico are tarif free, but exports have a tarif imposed by Mexico. I would say at least thic specific policy is important to him, given how long he has been saying it.
I’m not sure that his in that much trouble just now, the debate might change that however. He has to give a very strong performance in that to have a chance of winning the election.
Clinton has recovered from much worse things (Lying to the FBI about classified emails, covering up rape claims against Bill, ect.).
Poor Mexico.
So far from God…
so close to the United States.
Pete, you seemed very interested in the EU business. If Trump gets in, then he says that Britain is first in line for a trade treaty. Obama says Britain is last in the line. Does this not concern you? Your standard of living depends on your place in the economy; that’s also true of your family; of mine too. Our economy is bound up with the world economy. American policy affects our economy decisively (when America sneezes, the world catches a cold). The same goes for our defence, both generally and against terrorist attacks.
Believe me, who runs America is as important to you and your family as it is to me and mine.
But it isn’t. No idea how many US presidents I’ve lived through but it hasn’t affected me one iota… and Obama is as willing to do a deal as Trump appears to be.. as for Europe i’m tired of the whole sorry tale, I’m no longer remotely interested in posturing by other countries.. we are the 5th richest nation in the world they HAVE to trade with us.
Whichever president gets in will NOT affect me.. won’t make me rich or poor, won’t produce potholes in the roads, and won’t bring down the NHSer, no, Pete.
We are now the 6th richest nation in the world – France overtook us last week.
And we are now the 3rd largest economy in the EU.
It’s taking place while you’re asleep

Britain and France have been switching 5th / 6th places for a few years now, it’s not really useful as an indication of anything. Our ecconomy is still growing faster than France’s, and will overtake them again in the near future, especially if the pound recovers some of it’s value.
Whichever president gets in will NOT affect me.. won’t make me rich or poor, won’t produce potholes in the roads, and won’t bring down the NHS
If Clinton gets in and is actually stupid enough to start a war with Russia, you think it won’t affect you?
