She should be swinging IMO.

The US is building up military equipment close to Russia's borders and Russia is moving nuclear weapons around and practicing civil defence drills.

Hillary's body language is creepy and her speeches are the work of a carefully constructive work of millions of dollars worth of the party's 100 so spin doctors.

Trump went into all this and is pointing out the degenerate state of the USA being lead into it's destruction and Hillary has noting to offer but the same path that USA has been on.

Trump has exposed that even extreme right wing wealthy power men in his own party are parasites to there nation as well and that the far right and far left are fooling the majority of the USA people, such people are just like Vampires who have no true regard for there nation, you have monumental brainwashing going on from the media, the Zionist so called Jews control over USA is just madness.

I am a Hebrew but the fact is not all of us Hebrews support the radical Zionist Jew madness, most of Trumps family are of the good Jews, but Hillary's Jew influence comes from the radical Zionist Nazis type who want to control everyone with socialism madness, though there methods of thought control (Political Correctness ) most peoples understanding of History is a joke and this type of control was very effective in Nazi Germany and all Communist nations, you have no right to think for your self's and if you do they will deal with you, they have there ways of making you do as they want and the proof of this is there for all to see, as the PC hate and can't stand any opposition to there views, they won't tolerate anything but there own views and such people are very much like Nazi types, that go berserk if they don't get there way, they believe no one has the right to question there motives and will do everything in there power to stop you or try to make a fool of you with there cunning.

If Trump does not win that's the end of any healthy democracy, as the criminal powers will never let another person stand up against the Satanist powers that work to lead all astray.

She is evil personified, Satan comes across as a messenger of light to clowns.

She laughs at people being killed many times and not to mention at that 12 yo child who had been raped.

Supports 9 month abortion on the demand with no questions asked.

F ing Hell !! She is a monster !

Franco Cozzo would be more capable than the two peanuts going for the most powerful person in the world's job.

Of the two peanuts i much prefer Trump. Clinton is too fake, tainted and has too much of an agenda. Trump told us everything he wants to do

I agree... and looks like a good portion of the US voters are starting to agree also.
Trump is a buffoon, obviously, but with him it's 'what you see is what you get'. And I have to admit, I kind of like him too. If he gets in, I hope he does shake things up a bit. And he won't care or be too interested in the popularity contest or the opinion poles once he's President; he'll just get in there and do what he needs to.
I was hoping our own Malcolm Turnbull would have had more positive impact to date, but I feel he has resigned to the 'codes of practice' of politics.
I think Trump will be different.

Hillary's gotta win, Trump at the helm would reveal what a farce the whole system really is. Which is why a small part of me actually want's him to win. Someone else said the same thing earlier in this thread.

It would be pretty funny having a dude like that as "leader of the free world". It does seem a bit scary, but in reality the president doesn't have a whole lot of say of what goes on anyway.

Either way it really is a dismal choice the Americans have...

The dismal choice has to do with all the corruption, the swamp must be drained. the corruption has got way out of hand, it's creepy.

USA the Leader of the free world it once was, but it has not been that for years.
When Bill Clinton was in power he pressured and pushed and shoved like hell that Germany must accept crap like Scientology as a religion and Germany told him to run along you stupid dim whited moronic fool.

Trump , over that scheming slimy Clinton. Trump is a troll, him winning would be akin to Jeremy Clarkson running for Prime Minister of the UK. There's just something not right about Clinton, she has insincerity and hidden agenda written all over her witchy face. The U.S. is ruined either way, but would rather a buffoon than a scheming snake behind the wheel of the bus on the road to ruin..

Anyone else bewildered at the rapid change of leadership worldwide? It's becoming like who is the CEO of Ford Australia. Not that long ago, each country had a face behind the name: John Howard for Australia, Toni Blaire for the UK, George Bush for the U.S, Hugh Jintao for China, etc . In a decade we have had so many changes in Australia, it's become a blur, all I remember vaguely is John Howard losing to Kevin Rudd, then waking up one morning to hear some redhead Juliar Gilliard had usurped the throne, then we have some no-named backbencher called Malcom Turdbull pop out of nowhere. What's going on?

Do people realise what will happen militarily if Trump wins?

Things will change big time in this country and not for the better.
One of the first things to go will be the ANZUS treaty.

And having that buffoon with his finger on the nuclear button.
Be very careful what you wish for.

Isn't that a disturbing reality on the buffoon billionaire..If he'd canned his dumb statements from the outset he might have actually won..
It looks like it'll be the least hated candidate that wins..a very sad indictment of U.S. politics...It makes Turnbull look good in comparison and he's a long way away from that.. Cheers Rod..

If Trump gets up he'll be a mostly toothless tiger as his own party hate him and I can't see them voting for most of his outlandish plans. The only decisions that'll get through will be "executive" decisions, but only those that the establishment don't find ways to scuttle one way or another.
