We are getting to a stage where the really interesting WH2016 polls are not the national ones but how well Clinton and Trump are doing in the key swing states where White House Elections are won and lost. This is probably not more than ten and it is where all the intensive campaigning takes pace. It is helpful to show what happened in in Obama-Romney fights in 2012.

Clinton = LBJ
Trump = Goldwater
With a bit of discipline he could have won on an economically populist platform but he has no interest in doing so.
The parallels between Trump and Corbyn are quite striking.
Talking of bleak will England ever get another test wicket?

Wonder what Jezza thinks of this?

Nothing too good for the workers.
I've always rated LBJ as a truly great President (Vietnam apart)
Once a batsman gets a good start against us, we don't seem to have any real weapons to dislodge them.
I'm sure Hillary won't invade any countries though....
We also used to have Swann, who was the best in the business after Muli retired.

"We must either love each other, or we must die," could have been said by Jim Jones.
The Republican establishment would hate it but not sure what they can do about it.
You need to have been a current/former elected Governor/Senator to be the nominee.
Would have caused problems for Eisenhower though...
Although knee-capping for heckling the Leader of the Opposition might not garner the best Conference publicity...
I'm not going to deny that - were I on 4,200 TPs a month before the end of my membership year, and should I have a few days with nothing to do... - I might consider such a run.
If only so I could hang out with @Charles in the Concorde Room.
But that, of course, would just be the result of a right-wing conspiracy.
I admit that when he died I felt bereaved.
I'm happy with my black Barclaycard and my Tesco clubcard credit card.
Only real way to stop another Trump is to seriously address the causes of Trump - immigration reform would be part of that.
Much easier to restrict the pool of candidates at the start
Much prefer to fly with Virgin or with one of the Middle Eastern lot
Of the euro airlines, I have always found Lufthansa superior to most.
Also BA once billed me 4 times for a different journey and I only got reimbursed when I rang Natwest Credit Card services to inform them of the situation and they put a chargeback on it.
Virgin on the other hand have always been a delight
But then I might be a tad bias, because on a massively overbooked flight from San Francisco a few years ago I have negotiated free return flights anywhere in the world for giving up my seat,
I was already on the net checking out where to visit in Australia, when at the very last second (and by that I mean literally they were just about to roll away) some tosser got lost in the airport and they cancelled my deal.
"Britain owes the European Union tens of billions of euros that Brussels will insist is paid out before the country leaves the 28-nation bloc, sources in Brussels have told Handelsblatt’s sister publication WirtschaftsWoche.
Britain is hardly the only country with outstanding payments. The European Union has for years been moving around a debt mountain totaling more than €200 billion, known as “Reste à liquider” (RAL). A high-ranking E.U. official said Britain’s portion amounts to €25 billion."

Every day they prove why we were right to vote Leave.
Economic populism + light racism is a combination that would have won this time around and will win in 4 years time. Whether there is a Republican politician out there able to carry it off is another matter.
So they can try enforcing it after we have left - good luck with that. They need a deal as much as we do.
If they had actual different value-added services like sedating me, crating me and shipping me directly from my house to my destination then I'd see the point of worrying about it, but as it is basically it's either got Game of Thrones on or it hasn't.
I had some friends tried to vacation across Australia in just a 2 week period, by taking one of those flights that only touches down to basically refuel. They were totally fried the whole time they were there.
I have a horrible feeling the Pakistanis are going to put up a big total and we have a classic collapse in the second innings.
It is almost a carbon copy of the Farage migrant poster outrage episode in the Brexit referendum.
Are these moves from Carney an implicit criticism of ECB policy I wonder? it does seem to have its counterproductive elements.
We have news for the EU - we won't be paying for hidden liabilities and once we have left we won't be accruing any more either.
Sounds more like an attempt at extortion rather than negotiation.
If you walk away from your share of the debt that you helped incur, you'll become an international pariah. ©Project Fear I
Am flying with them tomorrow AAMOF v much looking forward to it; a soft landing (!!) for the end of a holiday.

The only value was a few BF pennies in Colorado, which I took up, and California at 1.05 (if you're happy to tie your money up).
Clinton should show this in her election campaign adverts. Authenticity oozes and it will attract some Republicans votes.
