So what do you Brits make of Trump ?

[peejaye]

I think NRT is about "spot-on". Why are so many American citizens giving this psychopath the belief he could actually govern the US?
How "fucked-up" is the US for people wishing him into power? I've never visited the States but I would love to, not sure if I would dare if this "nutter" was in charge though! Would I be allowed in?

I like him. He is actually smarter than you think. If Donald Trump is President and the UK come out of the Euro then I will think all my Christmasses canme at once!!!

Trump won the primary in my home town. I walk down the street, greet my neighbors and a shiver runs down my spine.

This sums it up. The rules don't apply. You can now be the silliest looking guy in the room , but still have have the balls to insult everyone on their appearance. You can be totally rude and everyone calls it refreshingly un-PC. You can have zero answers to any questions...as a matter of fact, not even bother to brush up and learn ANY policy what-so-ever.
You can basically just be a fourth grader:

That's rilly not raising the bar very high!

FACT: The Republicans have used their position to suck the blood out of everything they could reach for the last 25 years.
Politically speaking, it is no lie that The Republicans have been the cause of every single bad thing that is happening now, even the weather.
Bur fear not, the power of love is greater than the love of power. And Karma is saying Trump exists because the GOP was already on it's back gasping for air. Ted Croz??? Are you kidding me?

There is nothing wrong with business. There is nothing wrong with Wall St. Nothing a Criminal Court couldn't solve.

The Heavy Lifting for Hillary is going to be grabbing Republican Hearts and Minds while the price is so low. There's going to be a lot of disillusioned Republican voters this Thanksgiving. Hillary should start appearing at speeches with a side-arm and Bible. And reduce the price of gas to a dollar a gallon. You would see lots of Americans marching in the New Democratic Parade.

To my perverted Brit Distant Cousins:
The USA is roughly the same size and the same population as all of Europe. While being in charge of all of Europe would be impossible for one man (except almost Hitler) Americans do have the luxury of being quite a powerhouse on those rare occasions when Bernie's Vermonters see eye to eye with Cruz's Texans.

I have no doubt that Melania's panties are sopping wet after meeting all those rich powerful men, and being on TV, and dreaming of redecorating the White House.

I'm thinking of that scene from Goodfellas when the John Gotti character takes the Joe Pesci character into a garage to make him a made man. What happens between Trump and the GOP is going to be great TV. There will be blood.

An interesting statistic from the New York voting with regard to Donald Trump (link to quote below):

As of 1 April, there were only 2.5 million registered Republican voters in the state of New York (less than half the number of registered Democrats), and last night, just 480,000 of those Republicans voted for Trump.

The long and winding road to Cleveland...

Perhaps the Guardian is trying to down play it... but that's a lot.
Considering usual voter turnout , especially in primaries where many voters already know what the results are likely to be (New York is a pretty easy State to guess the results in...normally.)
Roughly the turnout for the Democrats was about the same, percentage wise -

If you then look at the results, Trump actually did better much better than Clinton. He won every county except Manhattan (which surprised me a tiny bit) while Hillary Clinton predominantly won New York City, and a handful of others -

A fair comment and correction to perceptions and stats, which are not my strong point anyway. Thanks. Not sure it gives Trump much chance against Clinton if they face off in November. A lot can happen between now and then.
