US Presidential Race 2016

[kaz7]

Teresa May toed the party line but now she is prime minister she is chucking out loads of Camerons stuff,until Clinton is the president no-one knows what she will do so to say she will do this and that a bit redundant

Trump is the epitome of the rise of 'Populist' politics, maybe a wake up call to the traditional political ruling classes of the States. We had 'Bexit' maybe they'll get Trump, stranger things have happened.

You don't think Obama's smart?

Obviously, but he had to overcome it to get elected

 

[buckshot]

Damn right. Which is why trump is gonna win. Middle america hates the likes of clinton, they had the chance for real change with obama, and were let down. Won't get fooled again.

How did Obama let people down when every one of his proposals was shot down by congress?

That's like saying Joe Hart let City down yesterday even though he didn't even play.

Im not sure how anyone can truly get behind either of them. Who are these people whooping and clapping at these rallys?! If i was American it would be a very somber day as im casting my vote

Trump fucked up in that debate.

The Moderator was nailing Hillary over the Clinton foundation and their proactive interest in handing "Friend of Bill" government contracts. If he'd kept his mouth shut for 30 seconds longer he might have got a bounce in his ratingspare courtesy of Fox News in front of 100 million tv viewers.

At least people are now acknowledging that proposals for a change in policy or implementation of new ones has to be ratified by the house.

"Shall we build a wall to keep Mexicans out?"
Trump - yes
House - no
"Shall we let in thousands of Syrian refugees?"
Hillary -yes
House -no
Joint chiefs of staff - "Shall we utilise our forces that are already in place to attack Russia?"
Trump -no, I want us to join in with Russia to wipe out isis.
Hilary -yeah,fuck em.

Presidents can't bring in policies unilaterally.
They can be the decisive voice though.

Not sure you're right about the last one, mate. As Commander-in-Chief the President can (I think) take military action off his or her own back, but your wider point is spot on and was consciously created that way when the Constitution was written.
