He's a politician. You don't think the local crowd adapt their speech to appeal to the majority - so called 'consensus government' with all the awful people on 'Question Time' and similar sticking to the party line however stupid and ridiculous it may be?

He's trigger happy, so 1 of the reasons I want to leave the EU. He may well lead to a USA EU war.

Bush over reacted after 9/11, in exactly the same way Austria did after the terrible tragedy of Sarajevo. Both countries were the victims of evil evil terrorists who were sponsored by senior figures in another sovereign state, but the knee jerk reaction created more problems than it solved. Apart from that, and also the lies over weapons of mass destruction in Iraq I liked Bush. I particularly liked the fact that he protected American horses from an appalling fate by banning their export to Mexico.

Rather than saying "The world survived Bush", I'd say "The world survuved bin Laden" because he was the evil cause of 9/11 - in exactly the same way that Serbia, not Austria caused the terrible terrible tragedy of the First World War.

Obama's a total disaster. Not only has he allowed the resumption of the evil export trade, but his unaffordable socialism has resulted in the most powerful economy in the world losing its AAA status!

Internationally, I'm scared that Trump will be an out of control loose cannon, but I like his ideas on border control.

I would really have liked Senator Cruz to be the next President.

I find him totally terrifying, I think he is awful on so many levels that the prospect of him as president fills me with dread.

He's a bully, a narcissist, and an ego maniac, but he's also a very cynical politician. One who will say whatever he thinks suits the electorate he has to appeal to at any given point. You can't therefore trust anything he says.

When his electorate was the republican base, he said all the things he did about 'walls, & banning Muslims.

Now he looks like he has secured the republican nomination, his target electorate is the wider public, so he has to backpedal all over the place to appeal to both the republican base, and democrat voters, at the same time.

It's all very cynical & leaves you not being able to believe a thing he says. He called all Mexicans rapists, & murderers, but when he was approaching the Californian & New Mexico primaries, he took it all back & said, he loves Mexicans, & to prove his point he ate a taco!

It makes me want to puke!

He does. And unfortunately I can. This'll be worse than Bush and he was bad enough.

Very careless in my opinion. Many of us survived Bush's administration, but many didn't. And they are partly responsible of the instability of the Middle East. Do the US accept any refugees?

Regarding the US president power I agree with you - A trained buffoon to entertain the electorate is already a difficult job and I would expect to be a full time one, I'd guess that policy and program are being made by someone else.

The world survived Hitler too, but I'm sure most don't want another one.

I'd like to see him win. Get us out of Europe, Borris in as PM here. Make politics worth watching.

The US president doesn't actually have that much power as an individual. The world survived Bush.
