The Political Discussion Thread

I would agree with this, but I would add that an independent coalition -can- become powerful in the US system within the House and senate still. It's far, far harder to do, but it is not impossible.

But that's the way it probably ought to be. You don't want a single issue or some small group that doesn't represent the majority of the population taking over, I assume.

I prefer a Westminster system to yours.

Well, get it out of here before it starts to stink up the joint!

Well, Sanders' supporters and other Dems ought to take a real shine to this.

Wall Street for Hillary?:Clinton has $48.5M in hedge fund backing, compared to Trump's $19K

Hedge fund owners and employees have so far this election cycle contributed nearly $48.5 million for Hillary Clinton, compared to about $19,000 for Donald Trump, an indication that Wall Street is clearly backing the Democratic presidential nominee.

Are the Occupy Wall Street folks still around? Or did they all move back into their parents basements?

Possibly, just possibly, they don't like Trump?

Trump wants to build a wall to keep the neighbours out..

And Norway is considering giving Finland a mountain as a birthday present..

It's funny how different relations between neighbouring countries can be..

*waves hands*
You will ignore the fact that Wall street gave more to Republican candidates in the primaries.
You will ignore the fact that both candidates are now only days into the real presidential race
You will ignore the fact that Trump boasted about "self funding his campaign"
You will ignore the fact that the media gave Trump close to 2 billion in free air time

Trump's success has made it possible for David Duke to run for a Senate position..

So.. Trump supporters.. Is this part of the 'Great America' you imagined?

[Gatefan1976]

I don't know who you are talking about...........

[Pharaoh Hamenthotep]

Grand Wizard of the KKK...

[Gatefan1976]

Grand Wizard of the KKK...

points to avi
HE does not know who you are talking about

(PS, Duke has retired from the KKK, he hung up his hatred (probably from a tree) )

Let's see if he actually gets elected. Or even ends up on the ballot under the Republican banner.

As far as I know, he has been disavowed by Trump, the Republican party and just about any other sane person.
Just a cockroach emboldened by popularity of Trump and trying to catch a ride on his coattails, if you ask me.
