Trump will win?

Hi
Do you think according to the news you read that Trump will win?

The news that I read indicates Clinton will win by 4-5% according to the most recent polls.

I don't think Trump has a chance.  The Republican Party is schisming over it, and a lot of Republicans will probably be voting third party this November.

Sure hope Trump doesn't win.  It would be one more black eye for the country.

I don't know who will win, but I suspect whoever it is, the US will continue to kill more innocent civilians than أسامة بن محمد بن عوض بن لادن‎ could have imagined in his wildest dreams.  But we will see.  Most of us, anyway.

Hey Luther..I think some people are still better than Trump..the news we read about him are not good..he acts like an impolite street boy..this mentality combined wih power will be so catastrophic

Good. I am not following up closely but someone told me the numbers were in his favor couple of weeks ago.. he will revive Bushism if he comes which is not good particularly for our side of the world

Don't understand Trump's anti-immigrant attitude.  America needs immigrants to do the unpleasant jobs that the locals wont touch, like marrying Donald Trump.

Google Translate gives Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden. He can't be behind the killing of anymore innocent civilians anyway, as his fate was SEALed five years ago (sorry, couldn't resist the pun).

That person was wrong.  It is my understanding that any poll that shows Trump as having a chance in the general election is an outlier.  He still doesn't even have the support of a majority of the Republican party, much less enough moderate support to actually win.

Given the horrible consequences of Trump as president, even a tiny probability of it actually happening is cause for very great concern.

As soon as it is confirmed that it is a Trump / Clinton race, someone will assassinate Trump; either by a cabal or by an individual, from the US or from a foreign government. Perhaps not in the US but elsewhere he is considered to be a dangerous buffoon, one which cannot be allowed the chance to screw things up.

This sounds like the perfect place to discuss the alternative vote vs first past the post vs additional member system vs single transferable vote.
