Thread Name: BS: Sarah Palin & Donald Trump
Subject: RE: BS: Sarah Palin
Dear Pharoah,

It would be most alarming to think that the Trump would be acceptable to any centre right. Pretty much by definition a supporter of the Trump is lunatic right not centre right.

Secondly, the centre-left is not "left wing". In so asserting you fall into the linguistic trap set by right-wing propagandists.

Third, it is not the majority of the PLP who seek to sabotage Corbyn, merely a vile rump of Bitterites, maybe at most 60 of them but more likely 30 or fewer. Their reasons, however, do seem to be as you state, but then one must ask why you do not apply the same thought in the USA? The Bitterites (whom you rightly condemn) assert that their cause is to make Labour electable. If they are right then the US position (as you assert it to be) would be a parallel. Yet you reject the Bitterite case while seeming to endorse the alleged necessity for Clinton.

I would hope that the majority of the USA would see the Trump as the farcical bigoted puffed-up loon that he is and reject him, no matter who the Democratic presidential candidate might be.
