There were some fascinating insights into the inner workings of the man and the effort. These guys are serious and are not messing about.
These guys are serious in.....winning yes. Absolutely. But when it comes to clearly defined solutions I'm seriously oubting their knowledge, temperament and diplomacy.
I mean, The Donald wants to get.....rid of NATO membership. How stupid can you be. How...insane can you be. For me Donald Trump, Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson are all very much the same. They appeal perfectly to the populi...to the people (hence 'populism'). But when it comes to leading the country with complex solutions to all the narrative........they let you down. Just look at Nigel Farage.
Winning is one thing, staying in power is perhaps part of it, but actually solving complex problems that's a thing certain people don't care about. But anyway, it is how it is. If the people want Donald, then so be it.
Not quite. They are quite different in their life experiences and abilities. Where they may be similar is in appearance (Trump/Johnson perhaps) and appeal to populism/nationalism.
Note; The MUTUAL ASSISTANCE CLAUSE is centric to the US Defence Doctrine; One Of Its Main TOOLS - NATO- is TOOTHLESS without it; It has costed US Taxpayers-Republicans and Democrats ALIKE Many ZILLIONS of Billions Of USD to put it in place; to make It what it is-And It has Done Great Service For The USA, Now aswell as in the Past.
DONALD TRUMP are giving You COMPLETE NONSENSE on That.
That could apply to a good amount of what spews out of Trump's mouth.
"Everybody Knows This is Nowhere" -- Neil Young.
There is NOTHING that Everybody is aware of. I can assure you of that. If you believe nothing else I've ever said, believe this: there is NOTHING, absolutely nothing, that "Everybody" agrees on, or knows, or is aware of.
He said that the USA may not assist in helping another NATO country when it's under attack.

That kind of talk definately weakens the NATO. How can you....utter such ludicrous, reckless, ridiculous language.
You know, I can understand that people want to leave the EU these days. But what's next? Going back to medieval times where every nation is locked up within its own borders and doesn't give a shit about.....NATO allies? Then we might as well get rid of NATO (Article 5....remember?).
It's not only that, but the very notion that Donald Trump hasn't got a clue about international politics. They have to manage their own stuff'. And although I do agree that America should not create wars......without a strong USA that comes into action when NATO-members ask for their help, NATO is doomed and we let China and Russia walk all over us.
EDIT: Hillary's VP pick is imminent. Those who were not selected are presently being informed.
2nd EDIT: Tim Kaine it is, as expected.
You are echoing Donald Trump himself; a man who also refuses to go into the specifics.
Anyway, it seems Donald Trump is inspiring a lot of people these days:
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/kkk-leader-david-duke-plans-run-us-senate-40802984
Former Grand Wizard of the Klu Klux Klan, David Duke, will run for the US Senate for the state of Louisiana. Obviously he won't stand a chance, but something or someone must have inspired the man.
Agreed.
But he's no Bernie. 8-|
That's because both candidates themselves, Hillary and Donald, have shaken things up themselves already quite a bit.
I'm not surprised it's not Elizabeth Warren or any other more 'younger' left-wing Democrat, like Deval Patrick or Julian Castro.
The Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton have already appealed enough to Bernie Sanders and his base last month. Resulting in a substantial endorsement from Bernie (Hear hear Donald, at least Hillary succeeds a bit better in unifying a party).
But now it's time to appeal to swing voters, independents and moderates. And then it's better to have Tim Kaine as VP. On top of that he could be helpful in making Virginia vote for the 3rd time in three elections for the Democratic Party.
;))
The more moderate, idealistic Bernie backers would back any decent VP candidate to beat trump, the key priority. Kaine is calm, mostly liberal, has excellent management experience as a mayor and Governor and foreign affairs exp. in the Senator on the FA committee, Catholic, pro gun control, goes to an African American church, a fluent Spanish speaker (from service in SA), with a reputation as a very decent, well respected guy, he will also help carry a potential swing state with a Dem. governor to appoint a Dem senator if they win etc. etc. etc. Most importantly, he can step up and take over the Presidency on a dime. He's a very smart choice.
Getting rid of NATO would be a huge improvement.
The more negative you are about Trump, the more you are doing him a favour. If you want him to not get elected, you should be positive on what Clinton would be as President, and not complain about every ideas from Trump. Yes I know it's not very fair, but the more Trump's crazy ideas are mentioned, the more they'll 'stick' and get people talking about it.
Our very own Gustav's behaviour in this thread would get Trump elected if this discussion was visible to millions of American voters. Being endlessly negative on the side you are against is the perfect way to undermine your own camp. In the UK, the remain side would have had bigger chance of winning is they were more positive on the EU benifits, instead of doing a smear campaign on the Leavers.
It's been going on for a few years now. Every single time politicians, journalists or whoever are critical of far right ideas, it backfires on them, and not on those they are trying to criticize. That's the key problem, there is nothing massively positive that has been said about EU benifits/Hillary Clinton, and being critical on the other side only backfires on you.
This is the reason he said that: https://i.sli.mg/TIAoq1.png
Trump is thinking ahead. As a presidents, one of his goals will be to convince all NATO members to do more to meet the 2% defense spending goal. Why would countries like Latvia or Lithuania spend more on defense if the US says: "don't worry about ignoring the defense speding goal, if someone attacks you, we will save you anyway".
Trump is clearly a master negotiator.

Are you for real? What has Rodham Clinton shaken up? She is THE establishment candidate. She is the complete opposite of "shaking things up".
