Title: 45th President of USA
Post by: UIZ733 on January 20, 2016, 04:10:08 PM
This poll is NOT about politics or the expression of political views.

The most powerful democracy in the known universe is about to elect it's 45th president.

If you had to place your money on a bet now, who do you think will win?

Note; The question is not who should win? That is an entirely different matter.

Whether you agree or disagree with American politics, lifestyle or international influence, the reality is that they impact all of us in so many ways.

Their election process epitomises much that is right about democracy.

Yep

Absolutely frightening what's happening over there. I would dispute all the positive statements you made about their democracy in the OP.

I think a minutes silence is required; America as we (thought) we knew it is dead.

Hmm. You might/should think differently if you have a superannuation account.

I am afraid I have not been taking that much notice to vote.  Just a very boring and expensive exercise. Yes it will impact on all of us, but so does China. I just hate the whole USA is the best etc thing. I did read a bit of what Obarma said in some recent speech and thought 'what a load of.....'. Sorry.  Kevin

If you were American and you had a super account, you'd be in the minority !

When I told a yank about our compulsory super, medicare, 4 weeks holiday, long service leave etc, etc, he said where did we all go wrong ???

I was not referring to the Yanks in relation to superannuation.

I know, that's why my super has been converted to cash until the world settles down again.  2 % is a bit better than minus 5% per annum.

The voting  process for the Presidential elections is a lucky dip at the best of times, however H. Clinton is the standout candidate from both sides. The Trump sideshow is only an aberration, but makes for good "reality TV" I suppose.   :laugh:
