Yup. Same with that comment about the Emmy being rigged. When faced with the choice of doing the politically smart thing or the entertaining thing, he choses the latter.

Re: US Election 2016

I don't get the commotion tbh. its the land of the free and that is exactly what they will do, stand free. Donald Trump doesn't care. Hillarys playing it. one things for sure though. Kim Kardashian in the White House while Trump goes about his business? lets all just get on with it like nothings actually happening. How about that for world chaos.

You cannot expect ALL American's, those specifically supporting the Trump cause to possibly accept the result of HC as President, she has a too tarnished image, not when she blurted out and called half his supporters a 'Basket of deplorables', could you really expect them to even remotely contemplate a 'put up' and 'shut up' approach, if the prospect is to be that, that pathological liar becomes the President ?

I equally hazard I guess that works the same way round if Trump becomes the President, it will cause deep divide either way, cause either side has to accept the result and I cannot see that being the case for either camp.

Yes I do. You accept you've lost an election. What is the alternative you're suggesting? The minority form a coup? Unless there is a very close election where a few votes can swing it and you go though the legal process of contesting the result then the only way he can overthrow a Clinton Presidency is with violence. Obviously that won't work.

Look how few people, even people who've been loyal to Trump, are supporting that comment.

No one is telling them to shut up. Just to accept the result. They can still oppose Clinton as President. Lobby their congressmen to represent their interests and focus on the mid-term elections in 2 years and the General Election in 4 years and attempt to win those.

Re: US Election 2016

From what I've been told if Hillary was to win, unless Trump withdrawn, she cannot become President.

Knowing that hamster haired expletive he won't withdraw as he will say the vote was rigged.

Re: US Election 2016

EDIT: Just to be clear it's Trump who would need to concede. Not all Americans. It helps reaffirm the legitimacy of the Presidency and the transition of power. Same deal as here.

You've been told wrong.

If Clinton wins then she'll be President Elect once the Electoral College (the delegates who represent the states) votes her in. She then becomes President on inauguration day. It's not dependent at all on Trump's concession.

Concessions are considered important because it's the opposition symbolically recognising the result which helps ensure the process is smooth and peaceful. If doesn't do it then the likelihood is Pence or Paul Ryan will do so 'on behalf of the ticket' but it's still not great.

Irony TD. What is she suppose to do? He's said soo much then reverts back to try condone her ties with Saudi Arabia which of course was to do with money, that was what they were talking of prior to him saying the horrific stuff about the 2 men thrown off a roof. Trump would charge for services or whatever he was going on about like politics is some business where its all straight and narrow to kingdom come.

He got it totally wrong saying Saudi Arabia threw alleged gay men from a roof tied up then stoned them while they were seemingly crippled on the ground. Please don't take this out of context, it's totally wrong what is happening to gays BUT the treatment, if you want to talk of laughing matters, the treatment given out by ISIS as oppose to Saudi Arabia is totally different. Thats not to say one is plurable to laughter. If what I'm reading is true here http://www.deathpenaltyworldwide.org...y=saudi+arabia those convicted are sedated prior to execution rather than tied up, thrown off a roof then stoned. Again I do not in any way shape or form support Saudi Arabia but to bring up laughing what is actually worse? Being killed sedated or tied up aware? It's horrific what is happening either way but it was irony for sure, Donald Trump going on the offensive talking total crap to support his crap that was possibly evil laughter directed at him and his crap.

The fact checker I don't know. But for sure if it was pure evil laughter she would have been done by now by the press, she wouldn't have survived that no chance.

I don't know of the relationship. Different people, different situation, different place, different surroundings I don't know she could be playing that too rather than being knee jerk.

For all the stuff he Trump was saying about Putin and Iran and whoever else is being given an easy ride by the current Presidency and possible future Hillary Presidency isn't his, Trumps actions playing in say Putins hand?

No she does not at all, what a stupid comment. For a start she quickly withdrew her comments when she realized she went a little too far, anyone is entitled to vote for who they choose without question, it's called democracy, I couldn't give a crap about the contents of your post above, it was nonsensical.

Re: US Election 2016

I have been reading nearly all the American News papers. The reading is clear, the amount of organisation's, and major stars are saying that they will be voting for Clinton.

The biggest problems for Trump is the women, who he is treading in the dirt. And what he was saying about abortion - is totally appalling. Like 'ripping the baby out of the womb' that is a terrible thing to say.

Women have a right concerning having an abortion. And all these stupid ***** that stand outside abortion clinics here in London. Especially two that l know of. Haven't a clue on WHY, women want an abortion.

My wife had an abortion on Medical Grounds. My daughter had an abortion because the Baby had died in her womb, and she had to carry it for 24 hours, before legally, it could be born.

The people who stand there don't have a clue.

Trump stated that he 'might dispute' the result. Wasn't there a dispute over Voting, and it went to court several years ago in an election

An organisation that has always voted republican - WILL vote for Clinton. As Trump does not have the heart of Americans voters.

And finally, he is going to build a wall to STOP all migrants coming Mexico.

He is running for the biggest role in History - for President. He should grow up and start shove all his money up his backside.

At the moment Clinton winning by 8points. And as stated on ITN news. She has one foot inside the White House. She just needs to carry on doing what she is doing. And that's it.

Trump keeps putting his foot in his mouth - and with all these women claiming sexual harassment doesn't help - BUT, the latest one was showing 'Crocodile tears' in my views - and she DOESNT want to take legal action. Who else is coming out the woodwork
