40 million people didn’t vote at all last time. If they don’t want to elect a dictatorship perhaps they might turn up and vote.

In a sense, it is the easiest problem to solve. Trump could be dog food in November with one simple trick -Voting.

Well, from Australia it is both fascinating and yet produces a really sad feeling for you guys. I really wish you well, but don’t see a way out for you.

Secondly, what happens in the US hardly ever just stays in the US. You guys are an idea factory. But not all of them are good ideas. I hope that our institutions are trusted enough to whether the coming storm.

The election is won or lost in the middle, not red or blue. It is the undecided and the ones considering voting who really matters.

We tend to be the engaged voters who know what we are going to do with certainty. But, you can judge the polls by looking in the mirror.

The truth is more like it looks. No need for a conspiracy. Vile orange man who spews hatred and violence and preaches senseless retribution is shot at in a fascist rally in a country where guns are sacred.

As I said, no need for a conspiracy, all the necessary ingredients are at hand.

There is something seriously wrong with American politics. Trump is evil - not a word I throw around lightly - but this shooting has all but guaranteed a win for him in November.

He’s clinched it. He’s going to be King.
