El Cid Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 This post is a bit similar to the people who want us to remain in the EU, in so far as you are slating a decision made by a majority of people in a country,so your opinion is an opinion of the minority, so don,t insult the majority. As dangerousedd says in post eight there should be no reason for him not to last his full term. If people in the USA or here for that matter cannot take a democratically made decision they should leave and go to live in a dictatorship. Didnt Clinton get 2 million more votes than Trump, or was that fake news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacktari Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Trump is the mouthpiece of, and is under the protection of Putin. So he will go far, as long as he follows his orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamston Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Didnt Clinton get 2 million more votes than Trump, or was that fake news? Mrs Clinton got most of her votes in the big cities, which are traditional Democratic areas. Republicans didn't have much incentive to vote in many of those cities. Very similar to Conservatives in the UK not turning out to vote in Barnsley, Stoke and Sunderland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are questioning the UK referendum result, low turnout of voters, lied to by the media and mainstream pundits and politicians - but I think they have more of a reason to complain in USA.

El Cid Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 72% turnout is not low. With 52 million adults in the UK; 17,410,742 voted leave and 16,141,241 voted remain - you do the maths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossdog Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 With 52 million adults in the UK; 17,410,742 voted leave and 16,141,241 voted remain - you do the maths.......whatever! but the fact is that we are leaving the EU, Trump is going to be President, the wee leftie North of the border is determined to chin Mrs May, etc, etc! It's all been done before,not really worth losing too much sleep about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
