Trump can't help himself can he? Everything that happens in the world revolves around him doesn't it? "Oh Brexit? It was a great idea! I predicted it!"
I try to count how many days he can go without feeding his ego. Days is the wrong unit, it's more like hours.

I try to count how many days he can go without feeding his ego. Days is the wrong unit, it's more like hours. Best part? He said this in Scotland. For those of you who don't know, Scotland unanimously voted to Remain and are now trying to get legislation through for another independence referendum so they can not do the Brexit and join the EU. So...*slow clap for Trump* Not like he will ever know what research or tact is, let alone stop stroking his own ego.

My big fear is that vote shows that lunatics can win elections...I really hope it doesn't ignite a vote for the apocalypse in the US.

What I'm worried about is that enough liberals are mad enough about Hillary to write in, or not vote at all.
I've seen a worrying number of people saying that they're going to do just that. They're sick of voting for the best of the worst and feeling like the choice of candidates is out of their hands (excellent points) therefore they are going to waste their vote in protest (TERRIBLE CONCLUSION.)
Honestly, by almost all polls I've seen she's currently leading Trump. But at present, some of those margins are slim. Depending on what changes between now and November, they won't mean anything if enough people write in Bernie. I don't really like Hillary either, but its not some kind of moral victory to take your ball and go home and thus contribute to the election of President Annoying Orange.
And yeah, love his baffling comments on Brexit. Just. *headdesk*

Well, I mean, Bernie Sanders himself said he was going to vote for Hillary. After the DNC, you might find less people who will write-in Sanders and more people who will vote for Hillary. Sanders knows he's going to lose, he's really just talking with Clinton's people to try to influence the party platform.

Still though, as evidenced by the results of the Brexit referendum, there are a lot of people fed up with establishment politics, and a lot of people fed up with general warmongering; the Brexit leave campaign received a boost when Tony Blair said he wanted to remain.
If one looks at the margin by which Hillary was winning earlier state primaries versus that of those of later states, one can see, for the most part, that Bernie Sanders rose on Hillary's fall -- another product of this anti-establishment tendency.
Hillary is the embodiment of the establishment, and she played large roles in the wars in Iraq and Libya. If US foreign policy continues as it's been going, especially expanding into Ukraine and other parts of Eastern Europe as it has...
Meanwhile, through all the crap Trump says, his America-First policy is actually somewhat pacifistic.
In sum, with the anti-establishment momentum recently, the DNC should really think hard about who they want on the ballot.

Meanwhile, through all the crap Trump says, his America-First policy is actually somewhat pacifistic. He wants to take a trillion in oil from Iraq by force, increase our military strength, stop Iran's nuclear program "by any means necessary" and he called for 'boots on the ground' against ISIS (even if he did backtrack on it). He makes a lot of noise about being defense only, but he has some ideas about what that entails that look like they'd lead to war anyway.

I have no idea what Trump really stands for on anything since he always backtracks and then double backtracks and may triple backtrack (whether it's banning a group of people because of their religion, the whole pro-life vs pro-choice thing, or boots on the ground). It's like trying to keep your negative signs all in line when doing a messy algebraic equation where the solution is utter gibberish.
Look across the Atlantic and you'll see the anti-establishment movement with Brexit...yet now everything is in utter chaos because there was no coherent plan. People wanted change but forgot to figure out what change they wanted. I think some in the anti-establishment movement will look at that and say, "Maybe we shouldn't go down that road so swiftly without a solid plan." Not everyone is utterly delusional.

You never know how much you're going to miss somebody until you see the alternatives. :/ why is the 22nd amendment in place. Thanks Obama.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Trump is a man who has made me want to move to someplace like the UK or Australia. Too bad Australia has so many poisonous animals.

It seems like every month President Obama has to address the country because something violent happens and innocent lives are lost. I can't imagine what kind of stupid thing Trump would say would he be in office. It's safe to say it would be something destructive that does not help any situation.

I almost wish my parents had immigrated to Canada instead of the US sometimes. :/ I don't like it when people are full of hatred. A goat would be better than Trump. Saying nothing at all or saying "baaaaaaaaa" is like 10000x then the inflammatory diarrhea that pours out of his oral orifice.

A ball of yarn in every house, and a dead mouse on every doorstep!
"Well, I agree with McCubbins' ball of yarn policy, but I'm on the fence about his dead mouse initiative." "It's okay. So is he." "Pardon?" "On the fence. Look, see? He's over there walking on that fence!" "Drat. Do you think he heard me talking smack about his dead mouse policy?" "I think so. It looks like he's bringing you a dead sparrow as a compromise." "I could deal with dead sparrows if it means we get balls of yarn too. He's got my vote!"

"speak out for what you believe in" Well unless you are the student being chastised for speaking out here... m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_57860292e4b08608d3323a60Supporting Trump but disagreeing with most of what he says is like attempting to divide by zero.
