View original postI know you're dealing with your own issues (Brexit), but I was wondering if the upcoming presidential election in the United States is receiving any attention.
View original postTake your average American newspaper, and look at the amount of news on all foreign countries put together. Then double that. That'll give you an idea of how much attention European newspapers devote to the American presidential election - just about every single day. I may be exaggerating, but not by much.

View original postIs there a consensus in your country as to who would make a better president?
View original postUh. Yes. Keep in mind that most people abroad are either unaware or just uninterested about the things that a large group of Americans dislikes or downright hates about Hillary - whereas Trump's failings are impossible to miss, and seeing how he goes out of his way to insult other countries every chance he gets, foreigners are even less likely than Americans to forgive them.
View original postMuch like with Brexit, a vote for Trump is, in essence, a vote for 'I don't know what I want but I know it ain't this' - nobody knows what casting such a vote will actually do since there is no plan or strategy or vision behind either Trump's campaign or the Brexit's, but the people doing so are so fed up with the current establishment that they are willing to take that risk. Or they've deluded themselves into thinking that their personal interpretation of the campaign is the correct one, and all the people who view something entirely different in it are wrong. I suppose some of them will be proven right in the end, but most won't.
View original postHe says it simply: The US needs a southern border. The Dems don't mind because they think Mexicans will vote Democrat. At least as long as they view themselves as a minority, btw.
View original postI recall meeting a very pretty Turkish gender studies or political science student in Tel Aviv doing her "Palestine" tour and she seemed baffled why her fellow countrymen vote hard left when in Germany but then vote hard right in Turkey.
A couple questions for those of you living in Europe, Britian, anywhere but the U.S.

How can you say there is no vision behind Trump's campaign ?

Vision means knowing what you want to do, not just what you don't want.

I was referring to the Democrats' perception of Mexican long term support to their cause.

Fair enough then, but I wouldn't overestimate the Republican appeal in the long term, either.

a funny thing happens when a political party denigrates an entire subculture of their country

You mean the subculture that flies another country's flag & sends $20 billion a year to Mexico?

Obama did have a vision. He didn't really realize much of it, but still.
