The US election puts all others in the shade - including our own. Trump simply MUST be defeated if he is the Republican candidate.

The trouble will be, just like our own remainers, if the democrats lose they'll think nothing of having yet another scored earth policy rather than simply being "good losers" because they've built up Trump as the anti-christ, rather than business man who says things for shock value, which means, as you've so ably shown, that to them Trump MUST BE STOPPED!!!111oneoneone11!!! OMG etc.

It's all a bit pathetic really, the over reactions to it all.

I mean Trumps last opportunity to be a "good loser" gave more justification for that belief than anything he said in power.

I really hope Trump wins. For no other reason than seeing the Dems have a meltdown from afar will be amusing.
Imagine having to choose between Biden and Trump...dear me. Mind you, we can't talk. Sunak or Starmer...FFS.

You want the man who inspired a violent attempt to overthrow his contry's democracy to become President? For your own amusement?
