Mervyn,

I am very happy that you are able to watch Fox News through the day, BBC and 
CNN 24/7, Late Night shows in the night and CBC at the same time as the 600 
channels 'one' subscribes to just because.

I concede that Short Attention Span might be a major impediment to REASONABLE 
THINKING for one's own self. After all, have we not all Studied hard at 
University and Read even more Just to Relax and be Programmed by such 
wonderfully educated, thoughtful  and unbiased Journalists?

I previously had worked out the reason for Comrade Pinto's Kalnienkish vision. 
His private, semi-private and public postings made them all too self-evident. 
Thank you, Sir Mervyn, for alerting me to another reason for such thinking ie 
600 channels blasting 'at me.Hence, NO time or avenue for me to THINK and 
REASON it all out for myself' !

A Very (Early) Good Morning to You and All who see this post.

Doc,

Even though Satan has sent in women to distract the voters, do not
underestimate the Republican party loyalists. Like the BJP loyalist, when
called to the polls, they will flock, heed and vote for the party nominee.
The prospect of putting Hilary in jail is enticing for the other Republican
voters - Donald knows how to handle women. The Republican voters who are
yapping about not voting for Trump do not have an alternative person to
vote for. After all, Trump is the outsider, the third party candidate,
running on the Republican ticket. Least I forget, Trump is also the author
of the wildly popular promise to build a wall.



Happily, there is no better news source for Canadians than CBC. Unhappily,
my TV service has 600 channels. While the BBC has always been my favorite,
it is somewhat of a spectator to US politics as it does not know what to
make of the current situation. CNN is the opposite, with one of its
channels devoted 24/7 to the elections. On the other channels, the late
night show hosts provide comic relief in the evenings and Faux News does
the same for the rest of the day.



Then there are the pseudo news outlets that provide the best coverage of
all, my favorite being Facebook. Thankfully, Donald has mastered this
outlet and Twitter. His twits are important. They sink ships.


Speaking of which, notice how the US military forces are 100% behind Trump
after he called Arizona Senator McCain a loser - for being a prisoner of
war during VietnamÉ

Gabe Menezes,
The National Enquirer is a popular publication because it tells its readers
exactly what they want to hear. What you may have not yet heard is that
Trump has boasted that if he does not win the elections  -  no one will
hear from him again. This scares the news companies like CNN and Faux News
who know that they will have much more viewers – and profits - over the
next four years if Trump wins.



Trump is very vocal, insisting that the US election system is rigged. As
you know, the US election system is not a popularity contest. Unlike most
countries, it does not depend on who gets the majority of votes. It is the
person who gets the electoral college votes who becomes the President.
Trump is convinced that he is going to win that, bigly.  He has got huge
amounts of people to register to vote - for the first time  - and has
called on all his supporters to go out and vote on November 28th.  I too am
expecting interesting numbers at the voting booth on that day.



As far as donations are concerned, I am told that Trump is no longer
accepting donations from his supporters  i.e. ever since some donors have
started asking for their money back. Even anonymous donations are being
turned down as Trump stresses that he is the ‘family values’ candidate for
the ‘family values’ party.



Lastly, there are several ways of making money depending on who gets into
the White House. For example, there are known baskets of stocks and ETF’s
that will jump depending on who wins. These are much better odds to play
than betting on the wrong octopus.

will be contributing to the Trump fund once more good luck. You could make
a nice amount of money on him winning at this site: the odds on him winning

MD,
CNN has yet to endorsed Donald J. Trump. The news organization that has
done so, is the National Enquirer. And you know the National Enquirer, they
check their facts, double check them and only then put the results of their
inquiries in print.

US politicians have been unable to grasp the popularity of the Donald. They
will be as surprised as their British counterparts on the morning they woke
up to Brexit.

One thing is sure, I got a lot of return for the small donation I made to
the Trump campaign. Now that Donald is assuring all Republicans that he
will not work with a Republican controlled House and/or Senate, I think the
time has come for me to double my donations to support the Donald's vision.

Mervyn
BTW, talking about spin, the organisation any spin master would like to
work for is Faux News er, Fox News.

Those of you who have been following US politics long enough might remember
that Bill Clinton was touted as the first black President of the USA. Among
the less flattering reasons was that Bill and his family had lived in govt
provided housing for most of their lives.

After watching Donald J. Trump's debate performance tonight, I am convinced
that he will be the first Goan President of the USA.

Here are my reasons why:

1) When arguing, in true Goan form he skips the facts and hurls insults at
anyone opposing him.

2) He is a landlord with a loong memory

3) He has an aversion to paying taxes.

4) He donates to religious institutions.

5) Anyone who follows the law is immediately labeled as a ghanti and not a
proper Goan/USAn.

6) He wants to build a wall to keep people from entering his domain.

7) He has the support of all the voters who only have basic education.

8) He is the family values candidate.

9) He likes going for beauty competitions.

10) He made it clear that if he did not get the Party ticket, he would take
all his supporters and form his own party.

Eugene,
Hillary Clinton wanted to keep Donald Trump in the race as she thinks she
can defeat him - but would have a problem defeating any other Republican
candidate.

Donald, on the other hand is confident that he will beat Hillary and has
made it clear that he will put Hillary in jail once he has done so.

I am not sure if he borrowed this tactic from Goan politicians or E.
African politicians but he sure has made  the race more interesting.

Mervyn
BTW, the only way Donald differs from Goan politicians is that he likes and
is supported by the Russians. They will help him with all his electronic
snooping requirements.

Trump behaved well last night, though occasionally he showed his nasty
side. His performance can prevent the Republican brass from yanking him out
of the presidential race. His support should be happy that Trump apologized
for his past remarks and also called the recent tape issue as "locker room
talk".
It was in bad taste that he brought four women, who claimed they had
affairs with Bill Clinton, including one who alleged rape, to make his
case, as he himself put it, that he only said "words" while Bill did
"action".
This election is going to be closely fought, and one never knows if Trump
can come up trumps.
