They choose to ignore that “winning at all costs” comes with costs. In 2015 they saw him as a joke. Then they realised how popular he was with their base, which has now backed them into the corner of constantly having to support his every insane whim.

It’s safe to say that Trump has been an example of why what should be unnecessary safeguards get implemented. The political equivalent of the guy who is why they put “not to be taken orally” on suppositories. Nobody really expected to have to deal with someone so willing to ignore all previous conventions.

As a non-American, seeing the bizarre nature of US elections is like watching a country to determined to reclaim the title of biggest national act of self-harm since Brexit.

Reagan was someone that they could use as a figurehead. People could reason with him. Trump is way too impulsive and narcissistic. You can’t put him in front of a camera without his train of thought getting derailed every few minutes. That’s only going to get worse. The GOP is going to end up on constant damage…

The whole cult of personality around Trump limits their appeal to anyone remotely sane, as well as leaving them a big “what’s next?” question hanging over them. Even if Trump wins, it’s a max of one more term. If he loses, then surely even they will have to admit that he’s too old to run again. Assuming he doesn’t die…

As a Brit, we were only trying to get to the airports for the duty free. It made the 160 year wait for a flight home that bit more bearable.

Trump claiming to be pro-worker is like him claiming to be anti-adultery. You’d have to be one of his cult to believe anything that he says.

If they’re actually interested in getting the nomination, I’m surprised that none of them have brought up the way that Trump’s mind is obviously slipping. Recent days have seen him confuse Jeb Bush with W, thinking he won against Obama in 2016, mixing up Biden with Obama, and warning of World War II. Bit late on that…

It’s also why multiculturalism is a good thing. Getting to experience other cultures, whether it is by travelling or living and working with immigrants, helps you understand those cultures and see through the anti-immigrant lies.

Not forgetting Brett Kavanaugh and the case of the mysteriously disappearing debt.

Which is where I had expected the article to go, based on the headline.

His behaviour was apparently an open secret at the BBC and Channel 4

And her high school nickname involved the word “Trailer”?

Thank you. I’d been trying to work out who she reminded me of in these photos.

We’ve seen too many people killed by US cops for not obeying their commands. The job is a way for them to exercise their need to power trip.

Small correction. It’s Cockneys, not Cocknies.

Just the good days

For those not familiar with Alison Hammond

There was an article by writer Nate White about why British people don’t like Trump, which seems appropriate

You mentioned the 25% of women and 10% of men. Is there a massive gender disparity in the numbers of students or is that 10% serial offenders?
