Had the car radio on, just now, and heard this:

"He's in the way of ME."

If I told you who it is, the moderator would probably delete the darn thread.

But I just had to confide that to somebody. Thanks. I'll stop now, and you all do with the thread what you will.

Hi, Joanne -

I KNOW there are sensible people in Wisconsin - Bob LaFollette love 'em - but currently the dumbasses seem to be outnumbering 'em.

This ain't just in Wisconsin - ignorant dumbasses, cultivated by the GOP for the last 30 years- are a major threat.

Keep up the good fight!!

I keep coming back to how nasty dirty politics is, and that we might end up with a childish bully for president: just what I used to look ascanse at in other countries.

What I meant was, do all Americans vote strictly on Party lines?
That's the way it looks from over here, Republican voters and Democrat voter appears to really hate one another(i.e. Greg's comment), but basically there doesn't seem to be much difference between a Mrs Clinton and a middle of the road Republican.
The candidates themselves are a lot more insulting and personal than we are used to in our politicians....is this just to increase the "volume", make it look like THEY hate each other too?

Don't you all think that you might just be being conned by the US political establishment, into a situation where nothing changes except the label on the door of the White House?

Greg, I don't pay much attention to him. He's not a US citizen, he can't vote, and he mostly just comments from the peanut gallery.

He has no power at all unless you give him some by being provoked.

I hope Wisconsin was the turning point.

Well Acme, you Greg and Jeri are not the only Americans that I know.
I have several "real world" friends there AND a large extended family who have lived in the US for nearly one eighty years.

Does Jeri really think that Greg needs "provoking", that post was unworthy of someone who I supposed to be a mod?
There are still a few proper trolls here, but I have never been one, I am motivated by a real interest in US foreign affairs and the intricacies of the US political system.

It seems pretty bizarre to most people in the UK.
It also seems bizarre that people who continually press for public services and reform of the social system see any point in voting for a candidate who is wedded to the establishment and corporation interests, over someone who shows all the signs of being a real reformer?

Ake says: What I meant was, do all Americans vote strictly on Party lines?

I call myself a "radical moderate," but I guess I have to admit that many people think I'm a horrible liberal and don't deserve to live. I try to listen to all positions and understand and respect what they have to say. But it's been a long time since I've heard a Republican I could respect. When Bill Clinton was President, Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich did his best to cripple the government. Then there was George W. Bush, who "never had a lick o' sense." And then there was the Tea Party and the concerted effort to block anything and everything President Obama attempted to accomplish. Obama did his best to take the middle road, but he was blocked in every direction he tried to go.

So, while I believe in a two-party system, I haven't been able to vote for a Republican in any two-party election. Occasionally, I'll vote a Republican primary ballot to keep a conservative extremist from winning the Republican nomination.

But once upon a time, there were moderate Republicans, people I might have voted for.

By the way, it was Donald Trump talking about Kasich, who said "He's in the way of ME." (click).

I grew up in Wisconsin, so it's a place near and dear to my heart. But it's a hard state to figure out politically. For years, Milwaukee had Socialist mayors and loved them. But Wisconsin is also the home of Joe McCarthy. I worked as a summer camp counselor with a guy named Joe McCarthy who was a distant relative of "Tail Gunner Joe" - but my friend Joe got a job working for Ted Kennedy.

And then there was the La Follette family - they came from an era when Republicans could be progressives.

I grew up in Racine, which was in a solidly Democratic Congressional district until they elected Paul Ryan, who ran for Vice President and somehow became Speaker of the House and made John Boehner start to look good in comparison.

You can't predict what's going to happen in Wisconsin. And even now after the primary is over and Trump and Clinton lost, you can't predict what will happen in Wisconsin in the Fall.

Apparently, you think those that you have badgered, maligned, trolled, and pissed on in sooo many past threads are as absent of mind as you are.

I would consider that THE major difference between US politics and UK politics is that people who consider themselves "liberal" in the US would be seen in the UK as quite right wing, and thus natural supporters of our Conservative Party.

The US right wing as demonstrated by Trump is seen in the UK as being so far to the right as to be akin to the likes of Hilter and Mussolini.

I for one look on, not only bemused, but somewhat concerned that Trump should ever win the presidency.

Before anyone says it's nothing to do with me I'm afraid it is. The US has a controlling interest in the rest of the world
