Vice report here

If he does become president of th US, i envisage an American military attack by SEALS on the off-shore wind-energy farm that blights the views from his golf course and hotel in Scotland which he has been most vigourous in opposing. Even with his wealth, he will not be able to buy the presidency…Clinton has amassed $2.5 billion and that is to just acquire the Democrat Party nomination.
Here's a less than successful campaign launchhttp://www.newrepublic.com/article/121962/lincoln-chafee-had-worst-campaign-rollout-year
The presidential debates for the Republican candidates take place beginning next monthhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party_presidential_debates,_2016
Jeb Bush has released his campaign advert attacking Trumphttp://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video/jeb-bush-releases-campaign-video-attacking-donald-trump-33463170Particularly interesting in light of Socialist Punk's comments on political advertising in the UK in the Corbyn topic and generally negative attack campaigning which American politics has down to a fine art.
Trump renews the anti-muslim campaign and now joined in it with Carsonhttp://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-34308716The US has a long history of religious bigotry in their elections…Kennedy was the first Catholic elected, and in many homes outside the US, his photo was alongside that of the Pope
A fellow Republican candidate has used argument ad hitlerum in his campaign attack ad on Trumphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCQhBYEMRQIIs it appropriate? Certainly I have seen reduction ad hitlerum used inappropriately here on this forum.
Reading this article got me thinkinghttp://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/dec/15/donald-trump-rally-scuffles-threats-support-candidate-riding-highIs Trump a typical Republican?Is Trump good for capitalism?
An even better question, are Donald Trump's claims to be considered 'truths'? Clearly not in the common usage of the term but I'm thinking of in terms used by Lbird here.Donald Trump Says crime statistics show blacks kill 81 percent of white homicide victims. Donald Trump "I watched in Jersey City, N.J., where thousands and thousands of people were cheering" as the World Trade Center collapsed. Donald Trump "The Mexican government … they send the bad ones over."Donald Trump "The people that went to school with (Barack Obama), they never saw him, they don't know who he is."All of these are rated 'pants on fire' by Polifacthttp://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/statements/byruling/pants-fire/but Trump is riding high in the GOP polls so are these 'true' for his supporters?
If you don't want to throw up, i suggest you don't watch this video from Trump campaignhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPRfP_TEQ-g
