They had no faith in HC and distrust her, perhaps they thought its time for fresh blood to take the helm,,,,,,he gets 4 years to put his money where his mouth is.......I hope he does well the the US people

.

*To say people are stupid for voting for him, well that's democracy for you everyone has the right to vote.*

They were stupid to believe his lies, as they will find out.

Brexit - I wasn't conned - I voted for out!!!

Hilary Clinton has a very good understanding of the law and many years of experience of the workings of government.

What President (oh dear) Trump has I really could not say.

He has a lovely hairdo.

At my coffee morning a couple of points were made.

1. Why didn't Hil attack him in the last couple of days before the election and after she had been 'cleared' of the email accusations?

2. Is it because she had something to hide?

3. While I thought she behaved with statesmanlike restraint, was it because the fight had gone out of her? And see 2 above.

4. We were amazed that her envoy sent everyone home; where was she with her thanks and gratitude to those who helped with her campaign? A sore loser, heartily sick of it all or still hoped to be a winner? Certainly it was not her honourable moment.

5. We thought she should leave everyone to get on with it, retire to a lovely island and enjoy her family and all that life has to give.

6. Give the hair-chucker the slip before he tackles her again as he has promised to do.

7. Will she kick Bill into touch though? ;-)

"They were stupid to believe his lies, as they will find out."

Oh seriously do you honestly think they don't all lie just to get elected !!

Show me a truly honest politician and maybe they'll be sitting next to the Easter bunny.

Caroline ;-) ;-) ;-)
You may very well be right :-D :-D :-D

Honestly, I am right....but I'm not standing for election any day soon..... :-D

I voted out too and I certainly wasn't conned, just sick and tired of the Brussels beaurocrats and their bullying autocratic attitude to both us and other member States, from immigration to the humiliation of Greece to the barely disguised contempt felt by these arrogant people towards this country. Can't wait to see the back of it!

If Brexit left the bemoaners upset what are the upset Americans to be called today...suggestions ??

*Oh seriously do you honestly think they don't all lie just to get elected !!*

I didn't say that. I said they were stupid to believe him - and he lied more than any other politician I've known - like the wall paid for by Mexico.

You have to be terminally stupid to believe that. And yet they did.

Amoanicans, Caroline?

:-D

They do it so much better and louder than we do.

Have you ever been to America Guinevere ? It's full of lots of lovely normal people but they are very inward looking people in many respects. They are so fed up they would believe anything in all honesty. So surely the biggest question should be why didn't the Clinton group seize on that too in their own way ??

As far as Brexit goes, I'm waiting for the £350 billion to the NHS promised by the Brexiters.

But I didn't believe that either.

Oh well Americas lose is the UK gain...the pound went up !!

Nice one Joylouise

I have many American friends who are utterly horrified by Trump getting elected. They are lovely normal people.

The baying crowds at the Trump rallies threatening to storm the White House armed with guns, however ....

It wasn't even as marvelous as we were told it would be when we went in to the EU.

Umm....that's the American way...guns...guns and more guns....

Awful, isn't it? But not all Americans, thankfully, some want gun control.

"Trumpton!" Nice one, Ann.

Nellie the Elephant ... I recall Mandy Miller singing it but I had no idea there were so many verses! Fun and innocent times of yesteryear. Forever gone, methinks!

On the radio, moments ago, Mr. Trump has been described as "The biggest alligator in the swamp." Nice one!

I was certain Hills would win by a landslide, regardless what the polls showed. I truly thought when the voters were at the ballot box they would seriously (?) consider what was at stake and vote for the lesser of two evils. Silly me. What an abysmal choice they had in these two! Perhaps if old Bernie was in the running he would have secured a comfortable victory. We'll never know ... and likely never hear of him again.

I have always believed after an election is called - regardless its 'importance' on the political 'ladder' - polls should be banned 72 hours later. Let it be up to the electorate in the meantime to listen to the candidates and make up their own mind for whom they wish to vote. There are too many sheep today who vote, methinks!

Oh, well "Que cera cera" the next four years.
