Seven days till the revolution.....and I'm not talking Trump here necessarily. I see it as a continuation of the recoil against globalism worldwide and the emergence of a polarity shifting paradigm.

There's been a large swing to the Right (in Europe especially) since the GFC. A lesson from history though is to be careful what you wish for when it comes to revolutions and allowing, via a protest vote, "alternatives" who are strongly anti-this and that to gain control. That worked really well in the 1930s as an answer to the Great Depression  :help.

Cause left wing swings are soooooo innocuous. In any case it is a libertarian movement not a central planning putsch. Killary on the other hand is in the business of creating 'precariate' plantations.

All things being equal (no voter fraud or suppression)..yes he will. Backed him at 50-1 through bet fair when he achieved the GOP nomination after supporting him through the primaries. Should have had him in the double with Brexit. He is now 3-1 and many of my confidantes are backing him. Right now he is mirroring the betting characteristics of the Brexit with the number (as opposed the collective value) of bets reflecting the pre-brexit figure - 65 percent in favour. Tip: if NH falls to him (reflecting a wider trend) it's all over red rover and we will know that early in the count. If he doesn't take it but takes Florida he is still in with a big chance.

He has to win all the swinging states like NH

All of them

Heaven help us if he does

As I stated.....the taking of NH would be indicative of a wider trend. I didn't want to patronise readers by stating what is bloody obvious regarding the clutch of marginal, predominately Eastern states, collectively known as 'battleground states'. But having said that he is a big chance to take Colorado, Michigan or even Nevada! There are many non-traditional pathways opening up for him.

Your use of "heaven" in that last sentence is ironic considering his opponent is a corrupt and corrupting, godless, mass murdering liar who's reported nickname used by FBI agents investigating her many crimes is: "the demon".

Give me a break!

Trump isnt immune to being a liar, he preaches nothing but hate, is a racist who like so many pollies before him prays on people's fears and sprouts nonsense that he knows people want to hear

Neither are good let alone great options but line the 2 of them up and it's a case of which is the one to the least amount of damage

I am well aware of how things roll in US elections

Cant see him winning all of those swinging states but more importnatly I can see Clinton getting the few college votes in those swinging staes to give her the magic number she needs

You sound as indoctrinated as a Millennial Uni attending SJW. Look at the deep politics behind the parties for Geez sake. Btw how many countries and their people has Trump smashed?  Now look at Killarys record. We can further discuss your naivity regarding US politics after he wins.

There might well be the odd disruptive unionist buried in the foundations of Trump's casinos & hotels but as it stands right now, Hillary has the far higher body count to her name....

A libertarian movement? :snidegrin. True Libertarians at least act with reason, base their views on empirical evidence, and respect our long established institutions. This current tea party movement on the other hand is totally intolerant to anything and anyone they decide is unfit to exist. They want to act as a self-appointed judge, jury and executioner against anyone or any group they decide is a enemy or threat to the state like it's a return to 17th century Salem. They see anything that doesn't go their way, including election results, as being rigged and part of some overall conspiracy. It's fascism 101. A bunch of conspiracy theory extremists who pander to fear and hatred by blaming all the ills in their country on minorities and anyone else they can use as a scapegoat. We've seen this script before. Some of us have/had family members who fought to preserve our freedom against such nutjobs.   


As for Trump - he is for himself. Always has been. He will say whatever gets him more money and power even if he contradicts himself.



ps. The great irony is if the GOP had gone with a genuine level conservative candidate instead of this celebrity circus, they would be favourites to win today.
