    I cannot believe Trump will get in, but you never say "never" - and I cannot believe how many people are passionate about him. :eek:.

    I reckon HRC will be a shoe in. Fingers crossed.

    A whole bunch of angry people of the current US political system will come out and vote for Trump to victory .... Just like what happened to the Brexit vote.

    So glad I don't live in America. It would be like voting for whether I want a kidney or a lung removed. Neither is a great outcome, but which hurts the least.

    It dates back to the mid 18th century & was related to farmers being able to travel to polling booths without interfering with days of worship as it took them a day of travel to get there.

    tend to agree, but Trump will be helped by those people who say they'd pick Hillary, but feel so disillusioned with the whole show that they won't bother voting.

    Isn't that similar to over here? A 2 party system where you're voting for the less **** one? Except they've taken it to a new level with trump

    I'll be running as independent soon so keep your voting pencils ready for another clown in the circus ;)

    POTUS demands someone with the right balance of temperament, some compassion, tough when they need to be, definitely worldly, definitely articulate and definitely intelligent.

    Trump may make an ok CEO type but POTUS, definitely not. Hillary whilst not ideal has more of the above characteristics.

    Hmm, in light of recent news, I may have been a bit too conservative on my college vote

    Me too. Gave me more reason to believe that Trump may be good at business but wont cut it as President, he lacks a very important ingredient empathy.

    I watched another doco just on Trump. It looked a little old, and there was very little I didn't already know.

    I missed this doco - only found out just after it aired. And they're not repeating it. :(
