Edited extra bit: anyway, must go do some exercise. If I don't return for a while, as per last thread, it's likely my monitor's just died.
As it is I have steered clear of betting on Trump. Can't bring myself to. Looking more positively Rubio has secured some major GOP donors in last few days. Maybe the establishment is finally coming to a conclusion as to who they want to stop Trump (Bush having now pretty clearly blown it by looks of things).
It was daft to make such predictions without waiting for the poll reaction of Americans.
Let us hope Trump recants his views in the way Wallace did.
Edit: Hopefully without the need of any bullets.
@Gary_Bainbridge: @aljwhite @realDonaldTrump I am worried about this massive Muslim. How tall is he?
Rubio really shows himself up in this clip from the Foreign Relations Committee. First he doesn't listen to what Ash Carter says and comes away with exactly the opposite sound-bite from what was actually said, then sticks to his script to attack John Kerry despite having already been told that his main point was wrong.

The fact he was in charge of the US Air Force and the nuclear deterrent made him sound like something out of Doctor Strangelove
A Muslim was forced off a Tube in north London after a commuter complained he used an iPad "suspiciously", it is claimed.
The man was apparently told to leave the Piccadilly Line train near Finsbury Park last night after he switched off his tablet device when the commuter looked at it.
Witnesses described how the man appeared shocked before getting off the train at Wood Green station, despite other commuters rushing to his defence.
One onlooker, who asked only to be named as Jonny, said several people on board called the abuser racist, but he was unfazed.

@realDonaldTrump: Thank you to respected columnist Katie Hopkins of Daily http://Mail.com for her powerful writing on the U.K.'s Muslim problems
I'm trying to think what I would do if the leading candidate for Labour or Conservative leader said that people like me should be excluded from the country and their polling improved. Start packing my bags?
Even I contemplated voting Labour for an hour or two.
It's an example of a society without perspective, those older than me that lived through wars and suffered real hardship really don't know what the fuss is all about. An overseas candidate "said" something, some people must have empty and dull lives to get so excited about it.
The politicians of the U.K. should watch Katie Hopkins of Daily http://Mail.com on @FoxNews. Many people in the U.K. agree with me!"
It'll be Ukip that drag you from the house in the middle of the night and herd you onto a train.
Hey, it's almost Christmas (excuse me, Winterval), we can dream. Failing that, Hillary will do fine.

It's really impossible now to decide if he truly is insane or is just operating on a plane so much higher than the rest of us that he should be the new God.
He's genial
And he's a host.
(You can even get 1.73 on the Dems chez Paddy, if you don't want to be exposed to Hillary-specific risk).
The political class and media might pretend that it is all a big racist conspiracy, but it no longer washes with the general public.
Trump trumpets himself and triumphs in the polls.
The headlines are just going to write themselves when Trump is president.
'Wossisname, Hitler? He sez he's gonna get rid of all the Joos if he gets to be Reichschancellor. Load of stuff'n'nonsense if you arsk me. Now where's me Daily Mail?'
Just completed a "we need to update your profile" for Populous.
The update was to answer the question "how interested are you in politics".
I see a potential flaw with their methodological update.
At least they'll be given an ipad.
Any Spaniard who doesn't embrace it is a xenophobe
"LOCAL MAYOR REFUSES TO REMOVE PORK FROM SCHOOL CANTEEN MENU AND EXPLAINS WHY.
Muslim parents have demanded the abolition of pork in all the school
canteens of a Montreal suburb. It seems it is offensive to the Muslim
families and shows much disrespect.
The mayor of the Montreal suburb of Dorval, has refused, and the town
clerk sent a note to all parents in the municipality to explain why.
The following is what the note stated:
“Muslims must understand that they have to adapt to Canada and
Quebec, its customs, its traditions, its way of life, because that is
where they chose to immigrate. They must understand that they have to
integrate and learn to live in Quebec. They must understand that it is
for them to change their lifestyle, not the Canadians who so
generously welcomed them.”
“They must understand that Canadians are neither racist nor
xenophobic, they accepted many immigrants before Muslims (Whereas the
reverse is not true, in that ALL Muslim states do not accept
non-Muslim immigrants.).
“They must also understand that, no more than other nations, Canadians
are not willing to give up their identity nor their culture. And if
Canada is a land of welcome, it is not just the Mayor of Dorval who
welcomes foreigners, but the Canadian-Quebecois people as a whole. “
“Finally, they must understand that in Canada (Quebec) with its
Judeo-Christian roots, Christmas trees, churches and religious
festivals, religion must remain in the private domain. Therefore, the
municipality of Dorval was right to refuse any concessions to Islam
and Sharia.”
“For Muslims who disagree with secularism and do not feel comfortable
in Canada, there are 57 beautiful Muslim countries in the world, most
of them under-populated and ready to receive them with open halal arms
in accordance with Shariah law. If you left your country for Canada,
and not for other Muslim countries, it is because you have considered
that life is better in Canada than elsewhere. So, ask yourself the
question, just once, “Why is it better here in Canada than where you
come from?”
“A canteen with pork is part of the answer.”
He's also a great fan of Norway.
Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
Amen to that.

I don't see them causing an awful lot of bother.

The problems start when it reaches 4-5%
5-10% and it causes big problems

We can, and will, go around in circles for years debating the Koran, the good guys/the bad guys etc, but all that matters are numbers
Too simple for anything to be done, politicians like to look clever
Shirley not.
Say it ain't so Nick.
