God help us. It seemed like a joke when first stood as Republican candidate; it's not funny anymore. What is wrong with those Americans?

[jourdain2]

Yes, he was the joke candidate. The American system I suppose, frightening.

I'm not even certain that Clinton will win to stand against him and beat him, her age is against her and, in a funny way, her gender. I'm sure the US would love to have a female president, but may feel that they would be voting for her because of that, rather than policy, and therefore hesitate.

I can also foresee a scenario when Corbyn ends up PM here - looked equally far-fetched a while ago. I may start to gibber more than usual!

[Jackdaw33]

jourdain, Corbyn PM? What hallucogenic substances have you been taking?

[jourdain2]

Well, I do write stories, jackdaw, so I'm quite imaginative! Things are swirling around my brain (OK maybe it's the mushrooms), but I've almost worked it out how this terrifying scenario could be arrived at..... help!

[naomi24]

jourdain2, wakey wakey. You're having a nightmare.

[agchristie]

When writing about Corbyn just use Trident Tested methods ;)

[sandyRoe]

If he secures the Republican nomination then it won't be too long before the Clintons are moving back into the White House.
To win an election you need to have your own party solidly behind you and capture the majority of the floating voters.
Trump is divisive. He may not evev be able to carry all the Republican voters.

[mikey4444]

Cloverjo....you are right, but I am still convinced that the American people will stop short of voting for another weirdo Republican candidate.

If Trump chooses Palin as his running mate, than all the better !

//With results still coming in, Trump had won at least 175 Super Tuesday delegates, while Cruz picked up at least 89. Overall, Trump leads the Republican field with 257.//

This link has a little more info. It is an American report.

It's by no means a done deal but it's hard to see who could stop him. I imagine Clinton will be feeling quietly confident.

[douglas9401]

There are too many high powered rifles in the US for a gobshite lunatic like Trump to make it all the way.

[Hypognosis]

I friended several Americans, on FB, for the sake of some daft online game so I've been exposed to press reports about this set of candidates for the past couple of years. I make no claims to understanding any of it, beyond "X is a [derogatory epithet]" and whatever I can glean from Wikpedia about their governmental setup.

Obama got pwned, by Congress, for the last 3 or 4 years of his tenure so the true horror is that Trump will be operating without the brakes on.

[Hypognosis]

Oh, forgot to add that Congress and Senate are voted in something like 2 years out of step with each other. I think this is stupid because voters tend to react to the incumbent by voting in the opposite party to the upper house so, at best, the incumbents are only fully functional for 2 years where the overlap works in their favour.

[atalanta]

chump for potus ? Just imagine him facing Putin.
He'd need high intelligence and low cunning, not bluster and insults.

[Bobsy]

English people have voted for Farage andBoris!!

[CrapAtCryptics]

The are some big states still to come - 99 votes for Florida alone - so its not done and dusted yet. Google a caucus timetable to see just how much is still left to go.

[sandyRoe]

Are they still hanging the Chad's in Florida? :-)

[maggiebee]

Trump and Boris?? God forbid this ever happens but voters are fickle.

[dieseldick]

courbain for PM.......its not worth thinking about. hes nothing but a filthy leftwing rat who sympathised and rubbed shoulders with scum gerry adams and martin maguiness.
