Of course fox go after Clinton, they're the only major ( pseudo) conservative leaning news organisation. On the other hand, what about the rest NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN,CNBC..? Not to mention all the print media stooges.
Just watch all the recycled garbage on our own news channels to see the hilariously biased reporting.
It will be the funniest thing ever if he jags it , and then watching all the do Gooders and media go into meltdown.
It's just a shame that he got the republican nomination, any of the other candidates would soundly defeated her.

Really? The establishment were firmly behind him but I just couldn't see it happening tbh. I was hoping a principled conservative would take it out. For me Ted cruz was that guy, but others like rand Paul, Rubio and fiorina were all solid. Trump is populist riding the anti establishment wave... Pity.

says a lot about the political system in the most powerful country on earth that these two are the final choices...

The world might be rediculing Australia after the Melbourne cup drunkeness but that's nothing like what's gonna happen to America after the election. No matter which way it goes.

This is true. And all these do gooders who are threatening to leave the U.S. For Canada, Aus, NZ if he succeeds can **** right off. They have their heads so far up their own ***** not to realise his popularity is the result of their doing.
And if people think trump is bad take a moment to think what/who is going to emerge out of the European countries over the next 10 years. With the accelerated third world invasion aided by traitorous politicians and white liberals the outcome will not be some idealist egalitarian multicultural paradise these fools try to sell us. We haven't seen nothing yet. Trump is a taste of things to come.

I can !

It's full of lefty's and scatter brain's that can't think for themselves, I seen last night a doc on Trump and Hitlery Clinton, what a cunning dog act bagging Trump for all his achievements and it's like, boy it's nice to come out bagging someone without anyone to defend the points raised and it truly comes across just like moronic communistic propaganda to me.

I am sure that Trump is not a real nice cuddly man, but he is sick of his nation being taken for fools and being led down the drain by the likes of Obama and that devious serpent the Hillderbeast, from that doc showed her to me as a person without scruples and a sham marriage, just built apon power mad ego driven ambitions and no true love at all, a cooled hearted creep that will drive the USA into the ground just like Obama, the man with no history to document at all like the other two, we don't know who he is, no old school buddy's nothing, it's a big secret and what's truly disgusting the media don't care or will not come out with it.
What's the big deal in asking his history for crying out loud, is he flipping burgers in a fast food shop, and what gets me is people have a spac attack that I ask the question.

What is coming is a more polarised world. As the bleeding hearts continue to force upon the people their idea of utopia, the people who do not agree with them are trying to bring balance by counteracting them. But with each swing of the pendulum, they grow further and further apart. It will not end well.

Just a reference regarding the 55 workers sacked then offered their jobs back at 65% less, I've been boycotting CUB since this occurred, & will continue to do so until they're treated fairly. But this topic is diverging from the thread topic.

Vote for candidates who wish to bring people together not the ones constantly trying to divide us.

One of the CUB directors I've known since we were both children. A money hungry bastard since day one. But I digress........

I'd be VERY wary of a candidate who said he would unite people.

I don't know who to attribute this quote to but it is accurate:

"He who seeks power is not one that should wield it".

So can you identify a type of candidate you would not be very wary of?

You assume all candidates are after power and influence.

Unfortunately we don't know any candidates motivations until it's too late.

You have to inform yourself and make a leap of faith. Sometimes you are disappointed, sometimes suprised.

It isn't an assumption, it is a fact. Elections, both here and the US are but dog and pony shows that provide the illusion of choice.

The only leap I'll be taking is the one over the rotting carcass of the current political system.

So what system would you like us to move toward?

Asking that question is in no way an indorsement of the status quo

It is easy to say Trump will be the beginning of the end of the world, but as has been pointed out here, there is a lot of evil in the world. Trump says a lot but has no credibility obviously because he has not done the work before. If he does get in, I doubt too much will change. There are a lot of people behind every decision in these places and a lot of ideas or plans are never approved. Politics is a game of compromise it seems,with many casualty's.

What system would you prefer instead LN? I can't say that I am a fan of current democracy either, Shorten and Turnbull have made sure of that, but there are scary things lying in wait at the extremities of the political spectrum. If I had to choose, I would go with General Franco or Mussolini's version of fascist government but have the equivalent military capability of the Wehrmacht for defensive purposes only...

I hope crazy Trump jails crooked, perverted Hillary when he become president!

I don't agree division is necessary for healthy debate, respect is necessary for healthy debate.

I hate political correctness, I hate anti political correctness more because there is always an agenda behind it.

That is probably the most scary thing about this election. A political candidate threatening to jail another when he wins.....and this is happening in the USA.

An anarchical one whose population is comprised of exceptionally well educated individuals. A state of anarchy as mentioned would ensure the scraps, idiots and general scumbags fall by the wayside as the usual protections aren't there to save them.

Anything else would lead to sheer chaos as the mouth breathers of the world would ensure "Idiocracy" becomes reality.
