Jamby is still hoping that the basic indecency of shy trumpers will see him in, the rest of our resident rightwingers have gone quiet.
Pence has stopped appearing for him, I strongly suspect that he's consulting among the rest of the GOP as to whether he can run himself if they can find a way to neutralise trump's planet sized ego enough to get him to drop out
Giuliani has said that trump won't quit, despite his own daughters now tweeting against trump and his misogyny.
Chris Christie has said nothing.......
I suspect he's at home with the lights out, some good scotch and The Sound Of Silence on repeat, mentally replaying that awful moment of clarity.....
Trump:
"I'd never withdraw. I've never withdrawn in my life."
How many kids does he have?

It's distressing that he continues to support him quite frankly!
Thank F he doesn't actually get a vote...
If Trump does make it to the White House, what are the odds on him being the first president to be assassinated since JFK? Better than evens i reckon........

I still think the scariest outcome ,if he withdraws,is the prospect of his hair looking for a new host. Perhaps that's why Nige is cosying up to him.
I'm in San Fransisco watching live TV news, and he is getting absolutely caned. A large amount of his support is Bible Belt, and the Mormon leaders have just come out against him.

Not worth the bullet. Plus it would turn him into some kind of saint for the trash that follow him. If the US electorate actually put that abomination in the White House they deserve all they get. Just like us with Brexit.
How much of an impact will this have on his daughters business of promoting women in business?
You can't blame Trump for being Trump. He's a revolting piece of work but he always has been. He is also a useful litmus test for the rest of the populous.
You can't blame the uneducated and the knuckle draggers for supporting him. The fact that they are so gullible as to have been conned into thinking voting for a billionaire born with a silver spoon rammed down his throat is a vote for the common man or anti establishment is sad but maybe inevitable given the state of viable other options.
But I look at anyone with intelligence and education who proposes a vote for this man with utter contempt. Anyone in possession of more than two neurons who even considered this vile human as being presidential material needs removing from the gene pool.
Pretty low thing to say, all things considered. And pretty much on a par with the Trumpster himself callling for Clinto to be shot.
Stay classy.

Yes, but this would narrow the gene pool, certainly leading to more Trump voters. We truly are in the era of pillock-politics, where all that you need to do is appeal to the baser motives of the populace irrespective of truth, honesty and integrity. The existing politicians who made this world possible with their hypocrisy and cynicism also deserve a hiding. Creating the conditions where a shite like Trump can be a serious presidential contender.
what is the odd of Hilary Clinton not seeing through her entire first term due to health problem
Is this the 'birther' conspiracy for Hilary? She's fitter than Trump.
Obviously our very own racist, egomaniac shitehawk , farige has stepped in to defend Trumps locker room banter
Meanwhile the republican Mail campaign had refused to send out any more leaflets for Trump
It's distressing that he continues to support him quite frankly!
As I said even before the nominations I'd vote for Hillary, but she is terrible just not as terrible as Trump. Underestimating him is a dangerous game and as I said Bill Clinton has done far worse.

Hilary will try to "micro manage" other countries indirectly, while Trump is clear as to what he likes/don't like.
A man that wants to increase US military spending, supports the use of torture, plans to stop terrorists by murdering their families and thinks more countries should have nukes?
Very simple. We know who he does not like/like so we try not to poke the hornet's nest and we can deal with him later if he tries to bully us. What he does in US is really non of our business. The Merican will punish him accordingly.
But Hilary is different she will stoke the fire from within turning own people against each other in the name of freedom and democracy just like in middle east. She is much more troublesome.
What America needs is Obama without a republican majority voting down all his attempts at legislation.

What America needs is Obama without a republican majority voting down all his attempts at legislation.
No, actually that is what Merican needs.
A republican majority (inward looking) and a Democrats President. This to prevent Democrats President running riot with his/her power all over the world. The same should happen for a Republican President.
Have you paid any attention to what happened with Obama and a Republican majority (no, don't answer that)?
Obama rushed out of Iraq which had a far bigger negative impact on the future than the invasion. Did his upmost to avoid action in Syria, did nothing to disude Putin in Crimea describing it as a Eueopean issue, no real involvement in Libya, the President least supportive of Israel ? Signed a ludicrous deal with Iran.
Chewkw, a man (Trump) with very questionable attitudes to women & race & you're endorsing him?

There are several Merican dependents that will be fearful if Trump is in power because he is going to cut them loose such as S.Korea and Singapore. (Singapore has another backup - China - like it or not)
The Philippines have already told Merican to move on.
Other nations in that region do not really give a monkey if Trump is power as trade will go on as usual.

Absolutely, that is normal as everyone expected that. i.e. to protect own industries.
However, if he does the opposite then that is not normal.

Funny how the anti-racists are the first ones on here to dismiss out of hand, the views of a foreigner.
Well I assume stuff will change but at the moment they have it as 80% on Clinton for the win
http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/?ex_cid=2016-senate-forecast
Reading around the rest no way back for Trump and a high chance of a push/jump.
As for the views of the the very distasteful man elected on a promise of mass murder and more his view dont seem align with the rest of the government (from what gets reported down in Oz which is probably more than in the uk)
Zero chance of a jump or push one month from the election. Zero.
As noted numerous times Bill Clinton did far worse when President and before he won office.
Citibank piblished an article warning peope, to be very cautious as Trump supporters want a change of direction in Government and see him as the onky choice. Also making the point that insulting his supporters just hardens their attitudes and makes them less likely to answer a polling company truthfully.

Just take a look down the list of people within the Republican party who have dropped support
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/oct/08/donald-trump-list-of-republicans-reject-support-endorsement
trust me it takes a while to get down to the end of the list
Not all of those have dropped support, there are a lot of wait and sees.
The problem is what are wikileaks sitting on. There is still a huge never Hillary vote to mess things up
The republicans that are deserting him are ones you'd never have thought would've backed him in the first place!
They are doing this to try and save the reputation of themselves and their party, surely it's a matter of time before Trump end up in court on sexual assault charges. Trumps core are more Tea Party than Republican anyway, is the moderate republicans who stand to lose the most from this, their endorsements will come back to haunt them.

If he withdraws the Republicans have no chance of wining, if he stays in they may win. Why on earth would he withdraw ?
It's a month to go, a lot can happen.
If Trump wins the while world gets a nasty shock. Anyway as I said it is debate 2 in about 15hrs, should be a cracker and I'd give him 1000-1 for holding his cool for more than half.
The whole world could be in for a shock, Brexit shows the damage demagoguery can do. Still the tanking dollar could outstrip the pound for worst currency in the developed world for a while.
If he were to get in as Ian Hislop pointed out congress are great at shutting down presidents they don't like and he'd probably be impeached by Xmas
Unsurprisingly for any Wikileaks attempt to smear Clinton (the latest ones said she wanted better healthcare for the USA!!!!)
A tape of Trump will be strategically released with him being a bit rapey

The very very nasty shock will come from the vengeful Democrats Presidency candidate because they need to prove a point about "back of the queue" for UK daring to ignore their advice. i.e. to prove that they are right to put UK at back of the queue by continuing with what the President has said. Also there will be head to head clash when women leaders face each others.
The shock of Trump will be for some EU states because the left leaning will find it hard to deal with Trump, while Trump's behaviour towards women make it easier for UK to deal with him due UK having a female PM. Again he will try to prove to the world media that they got him wrong hence will respect women leadership with a softer stance.
Also there will be head to head clash when women leaders face each others.

Yes, men and women don't always default to their stereotypes. Good politicians and diplomats are good because of who they are not their plumbing.
The Donald would butt heads with anyone who chose not to agree with him, looks like that's working well for him.
Its interesting seeing news today of senior Republicans announcing withdrawal of their support to Trump following the release of a tape of his 1980s Radio 1 DJ impersonation.
Its startling that one candid recording of remarks about women made 10 years ago carries much more weight than all of the utterly foul things he's said about and to women since - not that, not the public incitements to violence and murder, not the racism, not the unhinged fantasies of building his Great Wall of Jina, or the imagined internet on/off switch that Bill Gates keeps in his house.
Non of that - no. The last straw it seems is the revelation that he [i]is[/i] the creep he says he is.

from a previous post
"Because few Republican lawmakers have Muslim relatives. Few Republican lawmakers are of Mexican heritage. Few Republican lawmakers have faced discrimination based on the colour of their skin. But all of them have white female relatives. And therefore, when Trump talks about grabbing white women by the genitals, they can directly relate."
Also there will be head to head clash when women leaders face each others.

They aren't the views of just the President though are they, besides - the only thing worse than Duterte is the corrupt Filipino government.
The Americans waged a 15 year war on the Philippines killing 1.5 million of them, then a number of decades later - setup airbases in the Phillipines and let American troops get away with sex crimes. They really, really dislike American interventionism.
Unlike Trump, Duterte didn’t play to reactionary Philippine grievances on race and identity. During his time as mayor of Davao City, he pushed through nondiscrimination laws protecting both women and the city’s Muslim minority. Unlike Obama, he doesn't use drones to carry out mass murder.

I agree - but that has nothing to do with why some Filipinos might want a less interventionist United States.
The Philippines is unfornutaely so rampantly corrupt, that I'd say the main criticism that can be levelled at Duterte is that he is simply killing the wrong people.
Very true but the reports I'm seeing is his generals and others are happy to have US help along with many others in the region due to the increasing tensions with NK and China. Nothing being black and white and all that.
At no point does having Trump running the show make that end of the world better

Be fair,Nigel started at the bottom and is happily staying there.
It'll be interesting to see if Alex Salmond makes good on his promise to move to Antarctica if Trump does get in. I'd imagine there are a fair few in the Aberdeen area who wouldn't be too devastated after Salmond's involvement in Trump's golf course. Every cloud and all that. Quite refreshing to see a politician hoodwinked by someone else lying for a change ( I know that Trump can be loosely described as a politician now, but wasn't when they first had dealings).
