Not followed the debates closely but the impression I get is that Hilary Clinton is the most plausible presidential candidate of both parties. I can't take Donald Trump seriously with his rabble rousing comments.

The US electorate has never voted three times running for a Democrat. But I dread to think what would happen to the two key relationships if Trump were to be elected. Trump plus Corbyn - a joke. Trump vs Putin - WW3.
I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson

I don't think he should be banned from entering the UK just comes across as a buffoon, certainly not in the same league as a hate preacher.

I can't believe the Americans would not vote Clinton as opposed to Trump Peter.
The Republicans may swallow hard but Trump as candidate will deliver Clinton provided she gets the Democratic nomination.

My bet is that Marco Rubio will get the Republican nomination and Hillary Clinton the Democrat nomination.
Mrs Clinton maybe the weaker candidate because of age, Bill, Whitewater scandal, Libyan American Legation scandal.Too much baggage.
Marco Rubio even though his name sounds like a Roman Legionaire is young, photogenic, Hispanic vote,, and no baggage.

I like Rubio Peter R but Ted Cruz is polling above him & behind Trump.

Just been looking at the betting on the US presidential nominations and it seems fairly sure that it will be between Clinton and Trump but what I found interesting is that the odds are much the same as our EU referendum - Clinton and Remain favourites but Trump and Go closing the gap slowly. Seems to me that on both sides of the Atlantic people are getting a bit disenchanted with the establishment.

The gap seems to be closing and there does seem a possibility of Trump becoming president, I think US voters are turning against the establishment in the same way that Europeans are.

He will now focus on Clinton.
I don’t think they have a wining candidate in Clinton
If trump gets it hopefully he will show the west haw to deal with china on trade and move back from the Russians.

I note you wrote hopefully Keith.......probably
hope is perhaps a truer evaluation of the choices left to the world during these troubled times as playground bullying tactics seem to be the order of the day from all sides.
Do nothing and nothing happens.

I rather like the idea of Trump becoming President and not only for the entertainment value but to send a message to the career politicians in the Washington bubble.
Doubt if Congress would endorse many of his plans anyway.

If President Trump picks up the phone to Prime Minister Johnson, then we have all had it.

Currency manipulation by china and dirty cheap production in china India and others have decimated the industrial manufacturing jobs in the west.
They don’t play by our rules of environmental care and safety
Only with a level playing field will them jobs come back.
Trump has identified this and will be taping in to this during the election, like him or loathe him he is no fool and will set a team up to exploit all weakness in the other side.
I personally would have like to have seen a trump sanders fight.
