What is it about the most powerful elected woman in the history of the US that you don't like compared to previous Speakers?

She had so much surgery that her facial expressions are incapable of changing for a start. She preaches left wing doctrine from a huge mansion - hypocritical would you say?

Depends who you are comparing her to - Tom Foley or Paul Ryan or Newt Gingrich or John W McCormack - with his service in Vietnam?

I dont think that we have much to gloat at.
We had Boris or Corbyn to choose from at the last election.

Boris is like a slightly softer version of Trump.

I do like Trumps negotiating style though, we could have done with him to sort out Brexit.
Your lot (the Tories) are an absolute disaster and it seems that none of them can read, certainly not detail and small print.

Trump will have our trade deal negotiating team for breakfast

Must admit, I’ve been deeply unimpressed with the Democratic leadership, including Pelosi and Biden. I must defend Pelosi from charges of advancing left wing doctrine though! Obviously better than Trump, like. See also, nearly everyone.

Agree with Wrencat about Corbyn and Johnson too. I see it as being a reaction against the centrist positions/posturing and bland manners of Blair and Cameron.

America is c6 times the population of the UK - surely they can find 2 better candidates for the top job?

I agree about Trump - he would have Barnier for breakfast too. It didn't help having May - an arch remainer - try to negotiate a deal she didn't want.

I cant get my head around why Biden at the age of 77 still wants such a stressful job - and why there's no one younger in the frame.

It's all about money and influence. Trump is 74, not exactly a spring chicken.

Don't think Trump gives a toss about anybody else but himself, he's just power crazy, politics to him is just an extension to the world he has lived in, he has to be top banana all the time, terrible man.

Biden is older than any living current or former President. I guess the next generation look wet behind the ears to the boomers, and always will do.

The Democrats seem to be making all the same mistakes again. I guess it is just how much 4 years of Trump has disillusioned those who voted for him last time but who are not fully bought in members of his base.

Jimmy Carter, who brokered genuine Middle East peace, would like to disagree.

Aye, turns 96 in a few days. My mistake.

So "The Donald" has given a huge lift to the profile of the far right group that most people had never previously heard of.
What is he doing ?
Calculated gamble to focus the election on race or, just a dumb president with very poor judgement.

Great leaders bring their people together for the greater good but, Trump is happy to deepen the divides that already causing severe issues.
It beggars belief.

I agree he is incapable of rising to any level above the swamp - bringing up Biden's dead son and his other with a drug problem is a real low blow. Biden should have brought up Daniels!!

He's a populist. That's all he's got to offer. 'Triggering the libs', 'sticking it to the leftards' and offering to protect his people from non-exitstent threats. You won't hear any coherent plans or policies from Trump, now. It's just going to be, "Biden is an Antifa liberal. I'll protect you from the dangers he'll unleash.".

McCarthy!!

He does not want to upset a large section of his supporters.

Wonder how his supporters will react to him being tested positive for Covid19 today?

It's going to play havoc with his conspiracy-theory-minded supporters. They think it's a hoax. What will they think now their commander-in-chief has tested positive for it? How can they be sympathetic to someone who has been infected with what they believe is a 'phoney virus'?

They will probably blame the Democrats for infecting him.

Or the left wing protesters



Part of his interview was interesting when he, at first suggested that he had spent a lot of time with his young female advisor.
He very quickly said "and I spent a lot of time with other advisors too".
Was this guilt or just fear of someone probing him (with questions)

Has there ever been a presidential election candidate die on the campaign trail before?
Asking for a friend . The

Will Pence step into the fray or does Trump remain in sole charge ?

Why didn’t you just ask if a serving president has ever died before?

“Asking for a friend” lmao

Maybe he just wanted to know if a presidential candidate had ever died on the campaign trail before, and not a serving president, it may surprise you to know that most people do have friends, even though the concept is totally alien to you, apologies in advance for any grammatical error by the way.

More importantly, if Trump becomes too ill to run for the presidency, who will the republicans nominate and what happens to votes already cast for Trump?
