Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

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'm not so sure...there's few little time bombs ticking away for her...just bubbling along.
While she may not face criminal charges they have the potential to weaken her if the Republicans can give them legs.

Interesting....these graphs are the amalgamation of a number of polls.

(just a caution when viewing the graphs the Clinton/Rubio starts a little earlier than the Clinton/Trump but it's the end point that's significant.)

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!

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

Assuming this is the real Rupert Murdoch (which is sometimes an issue with folk on twitter)

Quote:Rupert Murdoch ‏@rupertmurdoch Jan 31

Hillary email troubles get really serious.    WH has surprising alternates if things get worse.

Probably the best Democratic candidate for President is Joe Biden.
He said last year he wouldn't run and has so far stuck to that.
The problem now for Biden is that he has to have his name on the ballot and many states have already closed for this process.

If Hillary is out of the race though any delegates she'd acquired would be free to vote for Biden at the convention

Twitter will verify accounts of public/significant figures (look for the blue tick). That said, social networking duties do get delegated for many active Twits.

Thanks for that IOT...seems it is Rupert....Of course he'd have an agenda of his own and Fox News is really pushing the Clinton e-mail issues.

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