Its 6 am on the 9.11.2016 ... looks like Trump is the new USA president.
He was so busy calling Clinton names, have they any real idea what he will do in power?
Putin must be having a party, his new best mate is n power.
On lighter news I cant find my left slipper

Oh fudge I was hoping it was all a bad dream :(
But it seems someone has stolen my left slipper.

We should all be fearful about where this is leading. :(
I did not expect her to win .. people are sick and tired of the Clintons, from what I gathered ... Donald Trump seems to be a breath of fresh air he is a business man (successful) rather than politician .. the thing I am concerned about is that he will need expert advisors to help him with making political decisions .. lets hope there are no loose canons amongst them ... I think if they had chosen Bernie Sanders to run for the Democrats instead of Hillary Clinton, the result might have been different ..Quote:

There can be no loose canon worse than Trump. His advisers and the Republican party have spent the past few months in vain desperately trying to reign him in. But in the end his nastiness and volatility just made him more attractive to a huge swathe of voters...
I am not in favour of him, please don´t misunderstand but I have lots of family in the US who voted for him because they could not stomach another Clinton as president. It was their arguments I stated .. I have no knowledge of US politics and I certainly share concerns about Mr Trumps attitude ... I do believe though that a different runner for the Democrats would have made a difference to the outcome .. Mrs HRC was the wrong choice ..Quote:

Somebody wrote that speech for him, which is why he seemed calmer .. nobody can write the words for him in a live debate or interview ...Quote:

The Democrats had a popular anti-establishment possibility in Bernie Sanders (a socialist and the US' version of Jeremy Corbyn) but the Democrat machine and money helped ensure Hillary won the primaries.
As Perdita says, Bernie Sanders had a better chance of winning against Trump because he's also an anti-establishment figure and doesn't have Hillary's distasteful past weighing him down. He would probably have appealed more than her to the many in the US (as in the rest of the Western world) who are understandably very angry with the establishment.
That's also happened to me! :(Quote:

I agree re Hilary, she wasnt claiming she would get every American a job, she would of just employed all the usual croonies and self serving bods. Her lets say error of lets say morals over the email scandal would of perhaps maybe possibly of been a court case in lets say umm a less oh lets say wealthy well connected individuals situation.
I think its a very dangerous time for the world, lets just hope the actual democratic power in congress etc can reign in Trumper. The man seriously is a very bad joke that has gone way tooooooo far.
Just reflecting on those that sacrificed all, so we can be who we are today.
Beautiful, thank you xxxQuote:
