The US political and Legal systems from top to bottom are too complicated and corrupt, governed state to state by money and funds by dubious legal methods and organisations to both parties who are all so corrupt that they say one thing in Public and do the opposite no matter which side gets elected. The poorest people get Crap and are disadvantaged while the wealthiest get all the Cream and would sell their relations so with very few exceptions all the voters get the Scum they deserve and so it will be until the masses take to the streets in Millions and change it.

they went on the streets too,in 1917,in Petrograd! The results weren't too encouraging though!
danieljosh: being English don't completely understand us politics but I`m reading so many awful things about both candidates trump and Clinton
it seems to me apart from the hardliners its a choice between a rock and a hard place
surely from a country a large as the us you can find better people to lead the country or is it just hype we`re hearing over here
It is a complete and utter mystery to me as well, Conrad...and i've been here all my life. The system is certainly not "democratic" in the slightest as it does not reflect the popular vote and there need to be guidelines of who can run for the office of Presidency and who cannot...there also needs to be a strict psychological evaluation done on potential candidates before they are allowed to even run. If that were the case, both Clinton AND Trump would have never been allowed to step into the race to begin with...both are nuts IMHO

Its not a good system when little over half vote . In any event the voters don't chose the President , that's down to a handful in an electoral college . Last time the popular vote was ignored was when George Bush jnr was appointed . Al Gore could well have been worse than Bush with his "The Horrible Truth" rubbish . There is plenty that is attributed to what each says by the media , not trustworthy by any means . In trumps case , he's fair game as he's wanting change and the Googles, Apples , Amazons won't like their favoured tax status fiddled with . Tax should not just be for the working person . One of Trumps speeches delivered to the Union League covering defence , NATO , ISIL shows just where his head is at . A good speech , over all the U-Tube video clips viewers would be lucky to number 60,000 . There is no way Americans are informing themselves . It would not matter if the US did not affect the rest of us .
in all seriousness its the 2017 supreme court nominations that matter the most, and if the faux outlaw hillbilly clintock gets to pick she'll load the court up with so many homegrown commies she'll turn us into venezuela overnight, or worse. and than the hillbilly's fema re-education funcamps will be open for business. All Aboard!
i dont know what folks are seeing in europe but i suspect they are seeing a complete across the board media bias that supports all the home grown commie clinton rhodes scholars and the home grown commie neocon trotsky'ite republican defectors.
the globalists have so much invested in the wardens pay for play clintock foundation they have no choice but to pull all the stops for a clintock win.
IN the US many have turned off the TV and have started to look at the wikileaks releases... thats where the action is now.
