Admittedly, I don't know much about the chap, but Marco Rubio came across great in his victory speech. Surely he would've been a better candidate than Trump FFS?
Given some of his views (anti-gay marriage/ climate change isn't our fault) Trump could be a blessing in disguise. Still, I'd take him over Trump.

Damn, I'm an incredibly poor judge of character then! I know one speech isn't enough to judge someone on, but I genuinely thought he seemed great.

He's conservative in some areas (abortion too) but not entirely a Republican's dream.
Lots of comparisons to Trump and Brexit, perhaps Farage's influence during his visits to Trump over the past few months?
One trump supporter in Florida: "protect our sovereignty", "business acumen", "common sense", "protect our borders from bad people, immigrants, from coming in".
Totally baffled by all four of these points:
-> Protection of Sovereignty; who is threatening US Sovereignty?! -> Trump may be rich and appear to have business acumen at first glance, but he also has a fair few failures under his belt. -> Common sense is not insulting the majority of the electorate - be they women, specific nationalities or.. well, anyone else he's insulted. -> From what I gather, immigration to the US is pretty damn stringent?
All four points, coming from a Conservative in the UK - a euro-sceptic to boot - are absolutely ludicrous. The situations may appear similar, but Trump has been rather opportunistic in creating a narrative that parallels so tightly in my mind.
Oh, and the Mexican Peso is tanking right now too... Down 8%. Definitely one to have been shorting if you're that way inclined. Brexit Parallel #22313
Media needs to take a lot of blame for what is happening in Western society over the past 5 years.
Can't spent 4 years insulting and demonising immigrants, then act shocked when working class voters believe shutting the borders will solve all their problems.

Wouldn't trust the media anymore than the governance that continually bang on about how good things like immigration are for us.

Immigration IS good. The amount of people is a different matter obviously.
The swing towards isolationist policies will only end badly for the west. Typical of a post-recession world though, happened time and time again.

Are the media responsible for the numbers then?
Of course not. But the amount of hysteria and hatred towards those immigrants are made worse by the language and exaggeration that the media uses.
A fascinating insight in to Trump's relations with Russia - courtesy of newsweek.com. It is pretty damning, and that's only the stuff we knew already.
I'm not sure how well sourced it is, as I personally have never heard of Russian involvement in the German election, or the Brexit referendum. That said, it does mention a "kompromat" file that Russia holds on Trump. i.e a compromising video that could be used for blackmail and so on. I saw this claim mentioned this morning on Twitter too, but I put it down to nonsense. (However, the journalist who mentioned it on Twitter went further to say that the video was sexual in nature and "disgusting" according to one intelligence source)

He could do this.
urs.)Would also highlight how the exit polls have - once again - been inaccurate.

Fear sells though, so they probably don't care.

Will end up winning with zero policies other than shutting borders. Seems to be the biggest issue of the 21st century within the US and UK.
