Ake, Corbyn is a mainstream social democrat and pacifist. Does that make him a socialist? Maybe, but he is a pretty mild one.

Bernie's approval rating in NH is 91%. I don't think that height has been reached before. So when you think he can't win, think of that. The one thing he has going for him that other candidates don't (IMO) is that people trust him. It's a big thing.

Hmmmm. I hadn't heard about the John Wayne endorsement of Trump. Wayne died in 1979, so I can see some logic in Wayne posthumously endorsing Ronald Reagan in the 1980 election. But for Trump to get a John Wayne endorsement in 2016 is a bit far-fetched.

ake sez: Well the problem seems to be that the centre left in the US appear to dislike socialists even more than they do Republicans.
Mr Trump is broadly acceptable the centre right and conservative wing, whereas Mr sanders will only gather perhaps half of the left wing vote.

I think that Bernie Sanders is getting a lot more respect from the center-left than had been expected. He comes across as a decent, honest guy with no "baggage," a man who explains his ideas logically and convincingly. I think he may even find some appeal among open-minded center-right voters. Bernie may be a Socialist, but he's the most likable Socialist the U.S. has ever produced.

Trump, on the other hand, appeals only to the extreme right. He makes the center-right Republicans so nervous that they might even vote for a Democrat. I can't imagine Trump garnering over thirty percent of the general vote if he were to be the Republican nominee, because he is a truly frightening person. If Trump gains the Republican nomination, I think that either Sanders or Clinton would win by a landslide - and win both houses of Congress, too.

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.

For the record: only a John Wayne daughter lauded Trump and said that her father would be for him also; the John Wayne estate/Enterprises essentially says 'No way'.

The whole John Wayne thing, of course, is a farce. Even he said he would like to be John Wayne.

Now that Ms Palin has joined the Trump camp, I'm waiting with bated breath to see who Ted Nugent endorses.

Screw Palin- the family says that John Wayne - who fearlessly fought World War Two single-handed from Hollywood and was a buddy of Joe McCarthy - endorses Trump.

Don't get much better than that.

Apparently Mr Trump is unlikely to invite Mrs Palin onto the ticket for reasons of political "balance"

Just been listening to a US commentator on BBC who reckons that Mrs Palin's endorsement of Donald J Trump is rather important in relation to the vote In Iowa.

It may be that to attain the presidency the centre left will have to make Mrs Clinton their choice for presidential candidate despite all the negatives which attend her.

A very sad state of affairs.

In the UK at present, we have a socialist as leader of Her Majesties Opposition, he is being opposed at every juncture by the majority of the Parliamentary Labour Party, who would rather see the Tories in Power, than have the people educated into the meaning and practice of socialism.

Political labels mean nothing, what we require is effective change.

Although I do not agree with much he says, if Berni beats Mrs Clinton for the Democratic nomination and Mr Trump gains the Republican ticket, then Mr Trump must have an even chance of the Presidency?
