He is pointing out, clearly and simply enough for everyone to understand, at all the real question of the moment : economic and the effect of globalisation and increased trade, the question of migrations and everything that revolve around it. And he has a solution, which is "USA, USA, USA". On one hand, his solutions are unclear, impractical and nationalist (which is not necessarily bad, but there should be limits to everything), but on the other hand he acknowledge what is actually considered to be the real problems according to a huge part of the population, and it is his strength, much like our own Marine Le Pen. The simple fact that he clearly state that the globalisation is not necessarily beneficial to all americans is a huge added value in comparaison to any other kind of politician from the left or the right. | ||

The sad part is the more european countries resist islam at this point after letting in massive amounts of immigrants, they will inspire violence from the inside out so they are in a lose/lose situation. The culture of Germany will be permanently altered in a few generations from the reckless free immigration policy it has going on. Sad to see this. | ||

Sad to see this. not really. the overall amount of damage from this virus is quite low. It may be unpleasant, but it's no more dangerous than the common cold; probably less so. Also, restricting immigration won't really affect the results much at all. | ||

He's actively opposing his party now and rumored to endorse a 3rd party candidate and you're saying he probably didn't care much. I'm of the impression he took this defeat as almost as personally as Cruz did. By all means he was entitled to the nomination as the clear front runner a year ago with the backing of the entire establishment and had it stolen from right under his feet in a ridiculously one-sided upset. | ||
