2016 US Elections

[Manbush]

John Oliver lets loose on Trump

[Schifty]

It's about time someone did it.. Instead of just a "#NeverTrump" hashtag.

[Manbush]

He does a great job on him.

#MakeDonaldDrumpfAgain

[The Nickman]

Oh my god, that was fantastic

[-TW-]

That was the best 20mins I've ever spent

Pity Americans won't take any notice of it

[Schifty]

I don't think it will stop hid nomination as the John Oliver viewer / Trump voter is an almost nonexistent cross over.

It will however get people out there to vote against Trump in November.

[Botman]

John Oliver is the best
I watched the entire thing this morning, great stuff

[Manbush]

True but it's a good sign, the comedy value of him being president I think is wearing off now the realisation he might actually succeed is setting in.

Manbush you underestimate how stupid parts of America are.

I doubt it actually. Go and read that article Pigman shared the other day.

While John Oliver's segment was fantastic, anyone else note the look of desperation he has?? He knows this is happening and he's utterly terrified by it.

[Manbush]

Haha trust me I never underestimate the American general publics stupidity BUT I am starting to see more celebrities like Oliver and religious institutions starting to take the Drumpf sideshow seriously, hopefully they'll be enough to sway the minds of the average Joe.

We elected Tony Abbott.

Calling the American general public stupid is the pot calling the kettle black.

[Manbush]

As bad as Abbott was the comparison is still miles off, I'm sure I don't need to detail where Americas stupidity reigns supreme, couple of examples would be education standard, the amount of 6,000yo earthers.

I am not comparing Abbott to Trump. I am comparing a sizeable amount of Abbott's support base to that of Trump.

The people who think reverse racism is a thing. The people who think Halal and Islam is taking over. The people who think refugees come here to steal our jobs and leech off welfare. The people who think their military actually fights for their freedom, the low income earners who think Neo-Conservative, small government ideology is good for them. And those people that think marriage equality will lead to animal marriage and the normalisation of peadophilia.

[The Nickman]

So... you're talking about simo and Manbush, yeah??

[Toviii]

I thought that was a fantastic piece, and found it very entertaining.

Until I saw all the Trump supporters come out of the woodwork in the youtube comments...

[Manbush]

Define sizeable. I'd say the majority of people you described would be One Nation voters, Family First etc

What is wrong with these vile, left-wing, anti USA liberals? Don't they want America to be great again? #VoteTrump

Can't tell is parody or serious.

Anyway hopefully Oliver gets them in such a rage that they forget to vote.

[Manbush]

Yeah IMO optional voting works in Trumps favor.

In the Republican primaries yet.

However in the General election you're going to see this bizarre phenomenon where there will be a large wave of people voting against Trump.

Oliver's video will help that audience.

[tragic]

I... I... I just.... I really don't know how to put in words....

It depends on the issue. Polling has put the support of indefinite detention of children in tropical concentration camps of at about 70%.

Trump talks up using torture and shutting down the borders. We have used the torture of little children to help shut down our borders.

FTR I don't take issue with you calling the American voter stupid. I just think we are every bit as ignorant, greedy, mean spirited and racist as they are when deciding who to vote for.

[Toviii]

Trump 5/5 so far on super Tuesday.
Clinton 4/5, with Sanders winning in Vermont.

[The Nickman]

So how does this work?? 50 states get polled, winner takes all for their party??

[Toviii]

It's 12 or 13 states today. But typically whoever wins Super Tuesday wins the nomination for their party so this gives a fairly good indication

[The Nickman]

Just hand Trump the keys to the oval office and be done with it already!

[Toviii]

Urgh, no! Why do you have to be such a punish about this? :p

[Manbush]

Trump 5/5 so far on super Tuesday.
Clinton 4/5, with Sanders winning in Vermont.

Looking at that the name should be changed to nightmare Tuesday

We elected Tony Abbott.

Calling the American general public stupid is the pot calling the kettle black.

We also elected Gillard who had to negotiate with the Greens to gain power,which led to Abbott.

Worst of all, some inbreds in Fairfax elected Clive bloody Palmer

[dubby]

I actually hope Trump wins the election. I really do.

[The Nickman]

I actually hope Trump wins the election. I really do.

Well.. he kind of has the same principles as you, so it makes sense.

[Toviii]

Oh God.

And dubby isn't just trolling either

[Manbush]

The only reasoning I can think is Trump could potentially bring on the rapture, most likely candidate to end the world.

Exactly

[dubby]

I actually think it'd be pretty funny if he won.
This is the guy with the worst hair ever, who wrestled on wwe fgs.
Now he's contending, and a good chance, of running for President

This is better than any movie I've ever seen
