She helped McCain lose the 2008 Election and she is on target to repeat the performance for Trump.

All that Trump will inherit from Palin is the nitwit vote, although he has enough of that already I would have thought !

that was pretty much my conclusion.

She might find herself in the 'bighouse' first.

[mikey4444]

Thanks jno....I hadn't realised that a thread already existed.

[bazwillrun]

I'd concentrate on your calamitous circus of a party if i were you....

[jim360]

Still haven't noticed Bernie Sanders leading in New Hampshire and neck-and-neck in Iowa, mikey?

[ToraToraTora]

what you lefties fail to grasp is that American voters do not think the same as you. Trump et al may be the objects of amusement to you but to millions of Americans they talk sense. Now does all this crowing in advance of an election have any sort of De ja vu feeling for you?

from the info bar
3T Hilary Clinton
I thought hey 3T showing signs of sanity

and read his cont and thought nope ! usual service

Trump and Palin may receive the nitwit - I think theyre called rednecks - vote but it depends on how many of them there are

Recall the surprising stat - 80% of america does not live in cities but the coutnry and 80% of australians do not live in the outback ( wow!) but in cities

[mikey4444]

TTT...Trump has cornered the nitwit vote. But are there enough nitwits in the States to get him into the White House ?

Palin is damaged goods and I can't see that her endorsement will increase Trumps chances of victory.

[ and if I have seen THIS before - 3T making an urse of himself then it is deja vu all over again ,,,,, ( apolz to Louis B Mayer )

[jno]

remind me how Palin did when running for vice-president, TTT?

[viv41]

Oh dear Mr Trump NOT Sarah Palin !!

[ToraToraTora]

""deja vu" is seen it before and we are talking about events int the future " - yes indeed it is remember the years up to May 2015 when Labour where going to thrash the tories? Same people crowing again, geddit?

[ToraToraTora]

gawd help us all if PP/Mikeys girlfriend makes it to the WH!

Although his politics is certainly nothing like those of Corbyn, Trump is rather a lot closer to Labour's loony leftie leader than he is to the Tories. His success is based on his charisma, his ability to say what some extreme people are thinking. Corbyn is the same, only for the left (and, perhaps, a slightly smaller proportion of the population). That strong, but narrowly-focused appeal, is Trump's strength but also his weakness.

He retains a huge lead in national polls for the republican nomination, and with only a couple of weeks to go until the first vote I would be surprised if he didn't win at least one out of Iowa and New Hampshire. Can he sustain it? Possibly not, because (I would hope) the field of candidates would drop down from the current 26 to a handful for future elections, and it would be easier for the opposition to Trump to unify.

Anyway, Trump is to Cameron as Corbyn is to someone actually electable.

I watched he speech, if you could call it that last night on Fox news, it was cringe-worthy embarrassing, and thought she was high as a kite!

[jim360]

There wasn't a word in that video clip that wasn't some hackneyed cliche :/

[anotheoldgit]

judging by your failed general election forecast I would keep shtum if I were you.

[anotheoldgit]

That was aimed at mikey

[jim360]

It's a very different election, though. With very few exceptions, presidential elections are a two-horse race, making them rather easier to call than the FPTP hodge-podge of parties we have here.

That's a little racist of you mikey, especially when you tend to keep quiet about the nitwits in other parts of the World.
