The Donald Trump thread

[Teddy Eagle]

Trump is vilified by New Yorkers hence the Muslim Socialist. Over a million votes that's probably more than the entire Tory Party got whilst losing the last GE !

Just shows how effective his unaffordable promises were.

My point was that just because NY votes one way the leaders of the Democratic party are well aware that this candidate and his policies may not translate across the rest of America.

You might as well say that as Islington (Corbyn) goes so do the rest of the UK, only it does.

I am not taking away from the guys achievement just saying he isn't the answer to Trump's successor when the Presidential's roll around, it's why the Democratic Party was slow to endorse him.

US foreign policy has always been about self interest, just like every other country, only they are the biggest bullies on the block. In the days of Empire it was us and gunboat diplomacy.

I would suspect quite a large Republican win if they did put a candidate like that. I feel that the rest of the US is generally a little more conservative and Christian than New York. I could be way off the mark but I would suspect there are a lot of states where barely anyone would vote for a non Christian. Let alone the other policies.
I think the democrats - although not exactly the sharpest - feel that way too.
However, if this guy makes a big name for himself and even, dare I say, delivers anything - it could all change.

He could deliver milk and honey. However, the Republican base would not vote for him as they do not vote for Democrats, period. And the vast majority of floaters would still not vote for him as his achievements would be filtered through the media they view as anything but.

Fair enough. I'd like to see him improve New York for people but I doubt it.
