Is "President Trump" - Now a real possibility?

Leicester won the Prem, Murray beat Djokovic on clay. Proof, if needed, that almost anything is possible.

PaddyPower is offering 9/4 AGAINST trump winning and Clinton at 4/11 ON. Still doesn't look like much of a bet to me. Put it this way, if it was a horse-race, I wouldn't back him!

QM...the Bookies don't often get it wrong, do they ?

[youngmafbog]

Not often, but sometimes they do.

It is quite possible Trump will win. I suspect you will see a tone down of his campaign if he runs for President. Hilary however will not be able to change.

to be honest, if I were an American, I would would not be happy about choosing either of them.

[Quizmonster]

Well, Mikey, there certainly aren't many of them who get about on bikes!

[ToraToraTora]

The problem Hilary has is that she still has the whole illegal email thing hanging over her. Once the gloves are off then Trump’s camp will go after that and she could end of getting pre impeached if there is such a thing!

[Quizmonster]

I haven't really studied the Clinton e-mail situation in detail, but it sounds to me rather reminiscent of Michael Gove's e-mail situation in the early days of the Coalition government.
The Financial Times discovered that he and his advisers were using their personal e-mail set-ups to discuss Education Department business. Why? Well, so that journalists could not access the material concerned via Freedom of Information (FOI) requests!
The final ruling was that what they were dealing with was information that SHOULD have been available via FOI.
Whatever...Gove survived and is now the Secretary of State for Justice, no less! Maybe, Mrs Clinton will survive, too.

A little more serious, Q... As Secretary of State. Mrs. Clinton set up an entire server at her home in New York to send and receive all her e-mail, ostensibly to eliminate the possibility of being discovered doing the usual nefariousness for which both Clintons are well known.

The problem is centered on several hundred e-mails that were Top Secret and even more secret than that. At his point in time her defense is that she didn't know any of them were classified.

The U.S., just last week, took the unprecedented step of extraditing a computer hacker from (I think) Romania with the hacker name of "Guccifer" who was arrested by his home government for such hacking and casually admitted hacking into Clinton's server on several occasions...

ave a day off QM, HC was bent as a nine bob! if the septics do this right under their own laws then HC has a good chance of going to jail. It's all a bit quiet at the moment but do you seriously think Trump won't push it?

[mikey4444]

TTT...Trump has managed to insult pretty much everyone in the States, but has yet to score points on Hilary.

And you are the one of the only people that are mentioning the emails.

[ToraToraTora]

yes I am at the moment Mikey, but once the 2 nominations are done the gloves will come off and Trump will kick the proverbial out Hilary.

[mikey4444]

TTT...Trump could have done that months ago...why didn't he ?

Its my opinion that Trump has got close to 100% of the Stupid vote available to him. Not everybody is a Redneck on that side of the Atlantic, even though it sometimes seems that way.

[ToraToraTora]

"TTT...Trump could have done that months ago...why didn't he ? " - one battle at a time me old china, up to now Hilary is not the focus. Trump needed first to see off the rivals in the party. Now he can turn his attention to the enemy, it makes sense to save some good ammo for that.

C, good to see you; seems like ages!
"e-mails on the server have been retroactively marked as classified"
(I always consider back-dated legislation a dubious concept.)
The words I quote above are from the opening sentence of Para 3 in the wikipedia site here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton_email_controversy
I said earlier that I have not studied this whole Clinton/e-mail situation in detail and I have no intention of studying it any further now. Clearly, I have no idea what - if any - legal action is likely to be taken against Mrs C.
I referred to Gove's involvement in what seemed to be similar activity here in the UK merely as a fun dig at TTT. I have no axe to grind for Mrs Clinton, other than the fact that ANYONE who is trying to save the USA from the boorish oaf, Trump, has to be good news. Accordingly, I hope she gets away unscathed, just as Gove clearly did!
