Nah even with that I doubt it. He will never get the Hispanic vote or African American vote. Would also appear to be a good number of "mainstream" Republicans who have said they will not vote for him.

He won the Latino vote in Nevada. Marc Rubio is more of a worry than Trump.

In a general election v Sanders Trump wins. 

V Clinton he has a real chance also, the fact Bernie Sanders even has a chance proves to me Trump has a real chance, I believe whoever Trump goes up against he will win. He appeals to a range of people economically he isn't a Washington puppet it will be his terms, I wonder who will be his Vice President. He'll go for a woman I think to prove his not simply an angry white man, Nikki Haley is perfect of native american descent and a woman proves his not a neo nazi or as i said angry white man. Americans in polls are most concerned about 'terrorism and national security' well... that all points to one candidate Donald Trump.

Boris Johnson and Donald Trump leading their respective nations, i hope I live to see that LOLLOL

the nomination is as good as in the bag.

The run off at the end of the year is going to be very interesting.

Do you want to win the bet?

Trump v Clinton and Trump v Sanders polling has both Clinton and Sanders beating trump with Sanders currently leading Trump by more than Clinton leads Trump.

Can't work out whether Trump's fascist rhetoric or his hair is scarier here:

This is becoming like a weird dream - god help america

Barring him doing something off the charts ridiculous he will get the republican nomination. His followers have not seemed one bit bothered by his antics to date. 

Really hope Bernie gets the Democrat nomination. He is a skillful orator and a smart thoroughly decent man. America is a grossly divided unfair country and he would make a real effort to change it.

The U.K. Election proved polls are useless.

Bernie is 15 points ahead of Trump in the latest poll matching the two in a presidential race.

Good on him. Have a feeling hilary will get the nod thought :( She is a slimeball.  

I wouldn't consider myself a socialist with regard to politics in Ireland and the UK but he would be a breath of fresh air in a country where the sick and poor are left to rot on the scrapheap!

Mrs Clinton is the lesser of all evils at present or as my old teacher used to say "rogha na dhiogha".  As I mentioned before my big fear is a terrorist event in the Homeland which will guarantee Trump as president.
