     ‘Mark Triffitt is a lecturer on public policy at the University of Melbourne.’
     Explains a lot.

   To digress, is it near the time when you could run a poll of your readers as to where the current US polls may culminate? i.e. Whether Trump gets the GOP nomination? If so, where to then? Is Hillary a definite winner amongst the Democrats? If so can she win?(Against Trump?) Just pondering….

     It’d be interesting, Cad. For myself, I reckon it’s about as predictable as a lottery result.
     Even the big polls in the U.S. seem to be all over the place.

       There’ll come a time when a poll may be telling. I have no idea where things are heading, but the thought of the blatantly trashy Hillary as President is not in any way attractive.

         It beggars belief that anybody would vote for that criminal slimeball. But they will.

         I think there will be no shortage of dirty tricks over the coming year.

         What will really have the Dems shitting bricks will be the fact that they almost certainly never thought to build a dirt-file against Trump.

         And since he was always such a public figure, there’s going to be very little they can dredge up on him that everybody doesn’t already know.

           Yep. But I’d say it has the Repubs shitting bricks too.

             Jeb Bush, for example.

             Classic “deer in the headlights”.

             Him and his many highly paid minions had a plan, and the moment it was exposed to oxygen it crumbled into dust.

   I submitted a post to the effect of “don’t feel sad, lefties, you had a good run.”

   I wonder if it will be posted.

     I doubt it. Kiwis don’t like robust debate.

   I notice the NZ Herald doesn’t allow reader comments…

   Are the little Leftist girly-men afraid of what the robust alpha males and females have to say?

   It looks like they love their little pink cloud cuckoo land where everyone agrees with them.

   Trump/Cruz 2016. Cruz cannot win. Trump can. Simply closing/controlling our borders is a damn good start and is precisely the topic that myself and many others have been asking-yelling-screaming for. Balance-control our budget and spending. Nothing is free and the more nothing costs, the less freedom myself and everybody else has. Why seek a one world nation when my local city government is filled with corruption?

   Feel the Bern? Shit no. Give a damn what anybody in NZ thinks? Nah, much too concerned with my own front porch.

   ” … .. .. For all its faults, America is a damn sight freer than NZ. . … .. ”

   I would add that a large part of the world is a damn sight freer than it might have been if not for the existence of the United States.
