Nate has spoken for the first time in 2016, fivethirtyeight - Who will win the presidency? Hillary Clinton - 80.3%, Donald Trump - 19.7% If you are not familiar with Nate Silver then Guardian - Hillary Clinton has 81% chance of defeating Trump, Nate Silver predicts can be your introduction. |

My campaign would consist mainly of the following. If you have liked the way the last 8 years have gone then by all means vote for Hillary since she and Bill sponsored Obama into the Presidency. If on the other hand you are sick of the way things have been run either vote for Donald or vote to replace every member of the house of representatives and 1/3 of the senate or both.

I think that should be can't stand the a$$***es vote Gary Johnson, make America sane again. The libertarian candidate, while being more to my liking, can never gain the support of enough of the voting population to do more than give the election to Hillary.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds Trump with 43% of the vote, while Clinton earns 39%. Twelve percent (12%) still like another candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided. After the 2010 midterm elections, Silver concluded that Rasmussen's polls were the least accurate of the major pollsters in 2010, having an average error of 5.8 points and a pro-Republican bias of 3.9 points according to Silver's model. |

Twelve percent (12%) still like another candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided. I don't, but an analysis of polls as done by fivethirtyeight is to a certain extent believable. Nate got it almost right in the 2008 election and spot on in the 2012 presidential elections, and when he gets it wrong as he did earlier in the GOP nomination, he admits it and also goes back and tries to find out why. So that in the future his models are more accurate. Go take a look at how his models work, http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/a-users-guide-to-fivethirtyeights-2016-general-election-forecast/ it is quite a long read, maybe more that you can manage at one sitting;-) But you for whatever reason decide to highlight the results of one, known to be biased organisation seeming declaring there had been a sudden change of mind by a large percentage of the American people. A move I would say is irresponsible. |

One problem here is that very few of us would be considered a run of the mill average everyday citizen or voter making it a little more difficult to fathom the thinking of most of the voting public. I still don't understand how a majority of English voters thought that leaving the EU is a smart or the right thing to do. I think it is a perfect example of the old saying "cutting off your nose to spite your face" We may be on the verge of a similar fate here in the USA. I personally can't stand the thought of Hillary Clinton spending 4 more years in the White House so I am reluctantly willing to cast my vote and my lot with Donald Trump. I figure he will be impeached within a year so I hope the republicans pick a capable vice presidential candidate.

To answer your 1st statement. Let's say that the U.S. has 51 states all doing well enough, but there is no federal government. Will you vote on electing a federal government to govern all 51 states? |

To answer your 1st statement. That's the point, our forefathers did vote for a federal government and the USA wouldn't even have 13 states without that government. It almost didn't happen. All thirteen states had to compromise their wants and desires to come up with a constitution that gave all of them a reason to sign up. IMHO England stood to gain more by being a member of the EU than they can ever achieve standing alone. The English empire is long gone and will never return. And yes, even knowing the dark side of having a strong Federal government I would vote to have one or keep one. Who knows how many wars north america would have had were there 50-51 independent states squabbling over trade, mineral and water rights and taxes and tariffs, not to mention immigration between the states. What a mess that would have been Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events. |

I still don't understand how a majority of English voters thought that leaving the EU is a smart or the right thing to do. I think it is a perfect example of the old saying "cutting off your nose to spite your face" There's a number of news clips showing people who voted "Leave" thinking it would never win. Your vote for Trump might be similarly misguided. There is a 3rd candidate ... I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

Fair comment. However, after what has been seen throughout Europe these past 7 days, saying "cutting our nose to spite our face" is a bit too much don't you think? Europe itself is fed up with the EU but didn't have the courage to stand up & say so. Britain did. Who mentioned a British Empire? This is about the future. States are one thing, countries are another. |

Maybe this graph, it's large so I'll only link it, tells us about Trump support even though it is from a Brexit story. https://img.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=https://img.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/files/2016/06/wonk-globalincome0625-1.jpg&w=1484 Original article https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/06/27/the-losers-have-revolted-and-brexit-is-only-the-beginning/?tid=pm_business_pop_b |

An important difference as I understand it is here in the US we can vote the scoundrels out of office and elect new ones to change the law, in the EU that is not possible as I see it. |
