Republican Candidate Poll

[Kirkland Laing]

I said months ago Sanders could win Iowa and New Hampshire and lose everywhere else. Both states are lily white and Sanders hasn't shown he can get the blacks or the browns to vote for him. Unless he can he's going to lose pretty much everywhere else.

He's got no chance in a general election though. Americans aren't going to vote for a total overhaul of their healthcare system though. Just on that point they're going to go with the status quo. Add on that he's a bad tempered old Jewish socialist from New York and he's just not electable.

Trump had a great result. He's shown that the people who say they'll vote for him will actually turn up and vote. The establishment have had a nightmare. Rubio was their blue eyed boy but his software glitches at the weekend may have finished him. The most devastatingly bad debate performance since you're no Jack Kennedy.

The establishment have the choice between malfunctioning robot Rubio, a guy with the last name of Bush or Kasich, a guy who conservative voters will hate and who has no money.

Let's go Donald. Bring those jobs back.

Miles. America has about a 100% debt:GDP ration. Japan's ratio is two and a half times bigger, a 250% debt:GDP ratio.

And here's their current bond yields.

Japanese Government Bonds - Bloomberg

Yesterday the ten year yield was actually negative. Investors willing to lend money to the Japanese government for ten years and then just get their money back. Willing to lend them money for thirty years and make 1% a year.

They're not expecting

a. the government to collapse, drowning in debt.

b. yields to spike and cause a.

c. a lot of inflation. None at all over the next ten years, maybe one percent a year over the next thirty.

And just as importantly, they're not seeing anything else anywhere in the world that looks like a more attractive investment than just getting their money back.

Just saying.

The Clintons are counting on south Carolina to start things swinging their way. You are right Kirk, the African American vote, in polls at least, favors Clinton, but she is so flat and monotone and lacks a sound bite message that resonates. Trump recently told newhampirians he doesn't care about their safety in the recent snow storm as long as they make it out to vote for him.

Trump also said he could stand on fifth ave and shoot someone and not lose any votes. He may be right. But neither Sanders or trump have carte Blanche. How does Sanders plan on getting through all this shit he's talking about? Maybe executive orders?

Nah, it's all just pie in the sky. You can't executive order single payer healthcare.

Hillary is a rubbish candidate. Endless issues. A scandal may well blow her candidacy up yet but even if Sanders is the nominee there's no way he'll win the general.

America is so pissed off with the establishment. Look at the vote totals for moderate new Hampshire.

Anti establishment people. Trump, Sanders, Cruz, Fiorina, Carson. 300 000.

Establishment peeps. Hillary, Kasich, Bush, Christie, Rubot etc. 220 000.

Fuck me. Fear and loathing baby.

I wasn't talking just about executive order on health care Kirk which aspects he could do but it would be unlikely. I was referring to other policy aspects that I don't see going through congress. Do people have any idea this shit wouldn't pass. I did expect you to be contrary anyway Kirk, I'm just surprised it took more than 2 minutes, are you stalking me with your utter nonsense.

Nothing that President bernie proposes is getting through Congress. I'm just using one example. No need to get so angry about it.

Trump plays to all the baser human emotions so prevalent in American society these days;

Fear of the outside world, and of anything that is different from you.
Ignorance of other customs, societies and traditions
Internal polarisation, black against white, rich against poor, left against right
Anger that the US is somehow 'not great' or 'not feared' anymore
Aggression in a generalist, unfocused way
Intolerance, in that it should be your way only and everyone else is wrong.

Sanders also plays to some base emotions, but slightly differently. In fact, he is playing the Jeremy Corbyn strategy almost to the letter;

Playing to the so called disaffected
Pretending to not be part of the 'political norm'
Harnessing unfocused anger at an undefined 'elite'
Polarising people against the Right
Talking in very vague terms about what he would do, spouting generalist wishlists

Your election is pretty batty this year in terms of the candidates. Is this really the best you've got, guys? No wonder you are probably in decline as a country. You are going to get the President you deserve!

Very uninspiring ........ just like ours!

Tbh I don't think Cruz, Bernie or trump would have much success with proposals. Who knows, one of them could get in and move to the middle.

Whoever the candidate is..should they win the POTUS..they will have a Supreme Court with 3 members elected by the outgoing Democratic president, as Scalia is deceased.

Just curious if there are any Republican voters here: Why has Carly Fiorina done so poorly in the Iowa & NH primaries?

Anything that she stabs for that isn't Conservative? Her business experience helps or hindered her?

Cruz and Bernie aren't moving anywhere. Trump will move to the middle the minute he wins the nomination. If he wins it. He can kick the shit out of Hillary on trade, Wall Street and her foreign policy by attacking from the left. If it's Trump versus Hillary the matchup will be absolute box office. Trump will be after her voters and she's weak and fragile on a lot of issues.

Why did you expect her to do well?
