Hilary's chances of becoming the first female president are skyrocketing. I wonder what mischief Bill will get up to as the first bloke?

I feel a bit sorry for the Yanks: I can't think of a less impressive set of politicians for them to vote for. Hilary Clinton does not impress me (She's very ordinary and is like Collingwood - either totally loved or loathed), but Trump is unbelievable. He is a nightmare waiting to happen.
Mind you, we can't talk much. Our last 3 PMs have been among the least impressive in history. But even they would be less dreadful than the field the Americans appear to have.
What has happened to the Robert Menzies or Mal Frasers of this world?
Live Long and Prosper!

Take up cigars again?
Reality always wins in the end.

Apparently, the husband of a female president will be called "the First Gentleman" :

Murdoch is an much an unbiased political commentator as Robbo was an unbiased commentator in the Hird/EFC saga.
