Next year 2019 one of the big US events that will dominate political betting will be the fight for the WH2020 Democratic party nomination. The early polling here is really not that useful because it is mostly about name recognition and one of the big names is Bernie Sanders, the socialist from Vermont.

Of course, the PM of Malaysia is 93.
Sanders’s moment was two years ago. He needs to anoint a successor.

Of course, the Brexiters said it would never happen:

Registering your pre-existing status so that it continues, is hardly equivalent to the slaughter of children (King Herod) now is it?
A recent general election poll also showed Sanders doing better against Trump than O'Rourke but Biden doing best of all
Windrush are British citizens so that's entirely different. Though it may have avoided future problems had the Windrush Generation registered at the time.
New migrants and unregistered ones should face the same environment as anyone else. If its good enough for Jamaicans it should be good enough for Germans. If its not good enough for Germans, it shouldn't be good enough for Jamaicans.
EDIT she didn't have to fill in any card arriving at Rome the weekend before.
Its quite remarkable that we have records of births, deaths and marriages through which we can trace the ancestry of someone whose family is from here back to the first millennium - but we can't figure out when someone arrived in this country.
OTOH if Varadkar continues to be a jackass? Yes.
As an aside I have been registered to live and work in more than a dozen countries around the world during my career and certainly don't consider it a burden.
Until that happy day we will continue to tolerate their presence here, like foolish children.
Bernie's pretty old, but sane.
Beto's young, and also appears to be sane.
Could the Democrats combine the two in one ticket?
May I ask where the evidence is that THEY are sane?
Edit - this blogpost from ten years ago has aged really quite remarkably well:

They clearly don't realise that in most EU countries you have to register with the authorities if you want to live or work there, whether you are an EU citizen or not.
In Germany for example I have to be registered using an Anmeldung which requires me to have both employment and a settled address. In Norway I have to register with the police on a yearly basis to be able to work. The idea that the UK is introducing something strange and new is ludicrous.
Comparisons with Herod and yellow stars are just ignorant and offensive. But looking at the posters making those comments it is what we have come to expect.
Personally I'd have it with Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
I see no valid arguments in favour of a reciprocal free movement with Romania but not Australia.
I don't want let alone expect them to return to the fold any more than I want to live with my cousins. They're still family though.
Remainers are scaremongering, as always.
In so far as one can disentangle them is honesty or sanity more important?
Considering Trump, I am beginning to think that his success lies with his technique of delivering bull shit with the same apparent authority as that which many/most people seem to regard the printed word. (I think that schools should add skepticism to the three Rs. For instance kids might well benefit from a weekly exercise criticizing a given newspaper article. Such an exercise would combine literacy, numeracy, and skepticism.)
Whatever your views on the settled status scheme, I can see it stuck in a heap of litigation before long. And when the deadline expires, are we back in a Windrush scenario for those who haven't applied? Let's see if the Government has the stomach to begin the deportations to EU countries.
Just because the Democrats are less crazy than the Republicans doesn't mean they're not crazy.
Edit: the word hysteria might find a relevance.
Who's the winner who can knock Trump out? I reckon that however harsh there is a glass ceiling for a female candidate, and someone like Sherrod Brown may be able to reach the parts that others simply can't.
More seriously, just because Trump has given new meaning to the word 'batshit crazy' doesn't automatically mean his opponents are good guys and well-balanced.

The concept of foreign nationals needing to register seems alien to us (apart from the NI process). We are our own worst enemies. Cameron could have come back with his shoddy deal and also announced a whole series of changes that would have quenched the thirst of the migration aspect of the brexit support. Even May could have done it while also pledging to keep us in the EFTA and join the EEA.
But no. We will now acquire the pretence of control but no meaningful enforcement. My local town will still have 100% big issue sellers as romainians.
try most days.
' Each year every household in the UK is sent a Household Enquiry Form to check the right people are registered to vote.
It may look like a council circular or piece of junk mail, but DON'T ignore it. By law, you have to respond – even if it shows the correct info. If you continue to ignore it and all the reminders you could be fined up to £1,000. This short guide explains how to spot it, when and why you'll get one – and what to do if you don't get one. '

In many ways, the most surreal part is the start:
Note from the Editor: We have been asked why the PT is publishing Fiona Onasanya’s columns following her conviction at the Old Bailey. The PT offers columns to the two sitting MPs covering Peterborough if they choose to submit one. While she is still the MP - and therefore the elected representative - we believe it would be wrong to deny our readers the chance to read what she has submitted. To censor the column would, in my view, be wrong, and in my experience our readers are quite capable of making their own minds up about the columns submitted by local politicians. The column will of course remain subject to our normal legal and Editor’s Code of Conduct boundaries.
On the whole I would argue not.
And puts the 'OMG, someone might have to fill in another form because of Brexit' into perspective.
Two mothers in law.
What do you find behind very successful man?
An astonished mother in law.
Why did the man not want his mother in law buried in Jerusalem?
They had a resurrection there and he was taking no chances.
Good night.
I assume she isn't going to, but not sure if that's a safe assumption.
