Here I go again
commenting on another country's politics, oh well it's only the world
at stake. The nightmare of a Trump Presidency, for Mexico in
particular, but also for the rest of the civilised world moved a step
closer when Democrats started chanting 'lock her up' with regards to
Hilary Clinton, just as the followers of the false profit did last
week.
At this rate Trump will
win by default, because Hilary is losing the battle, not because the
Republicans are winning it. There are plenty of educated, fair
minded, thoughtful people in America who would rather vote Democrat,
but there are a few who won't vote for a woman at any price and many
who believe Hilary to be tainted. Probably correctly.
I'm amazed to find
myself thinking this, but I actually believe Bernie Sanders has a
better chance of defeating the Donald than Mrs Clinton. The young
like him and it's their future quite frankly. The old stabbed the
young in the back in the UK recently – don't make the same mistake
USA.
Now that we know the
Clinton campaign was corrupt there seems little to stop the Democrats
disqualifying the former first lady, with all her 'experience' and
replacing her with someone who has principles instead.
After all Obama is a
principled man, why not try and make it habit forming? Maybe the
American people might weigh in with the House and Senate too so that
the next principled man can actually do some good.
Mind you there is a
risk of gun control if you do that and what's a mass shooting a day
compared with the right to bear arms?
Being a misogynist, a
bully and an advocate of violence and war crimes isn't enough to stop
someone getting the Republican nomination in a country riven by
racial tension, so, can the Democrats prove themselves above all that
at this time of huge risk to the world economy and world peace to say nothing of peace on the streets in America?
I don't think the
Democrats will do the sensible thing and sadly I don't think American
voters will reject Trump if they don't. Please go with Bernie.
Luckily I'm not the
Mexican president because if I were, and if Trump were to be elected
I'd probably give all US Citizens forty eight hours to quit the
country, close all border crossings thereafter, break off diplomatic
relations, sending all US diplomats home and recalling mine, bar all
flights emanating from, or going to, the USA from using Mexican
airspace and negotiate a military alliance with Putin, then we could
have the Cuban missile crisis and The Bay Of Pigs all over again.
Get Trumpy off to a
good start.
Should have waited a couple of hours before posting, because Clinton is now nominated. The worry here is that Trump need win only 4 states in the northern rust belt to make the White House his.
ReplyDeleteTrue Richard and I think Trump will win now, people vote based on emotions rather than facts. Britain is looking to itself, not the world and America will probably do the same. The irony is that both Britain and America will hurt themselves with this look after number one attitude.
