Mike Moore is on the money. http://michaelmoore.com/trumpwillwin/
I picked this up this morning as I had not taken notice. Trumps Mrs said in her plagiarised speach "if you want your Country to be Safe, Vote for Donald". If the First lady had of said that, Murdoch and his cronies would have ripped into her. |

Murdoch's been going hard against Trump for a while now. He's an open borders Neo-Con like Jeb!, Paul Ryan, Rubio etc.
Melania speaks 5 languages and English isn't her first one, I think we can cut her some slack. |

Has he really? I've mostly only heard positive things about Trump from Murdoch (though it's true that Fox, at least in the early part of the campaign, had a bit of a vendetta against him).

I've got The Australian on my FB feed and almost every Trump story was negative. These types would prefer Hillary to Trump because they can buy her off, Trump is a wild card and the rich and powerful don't like wildcards. The veneer of power and control they have is pretty fragile, if the mob gets riled up then it can come crashing down pretty fast. |

Fox must be owned by someone else then. As for cutting her some slack, no chance.
Two shocking candidates for US President is a massive concern. |

| The rich and powerful will be just fine with Trump, don't you worry. It's his likely unelectability that concerns them, not his policies. |

As Bertrand Russel said, it must have taken ages for people to realize that a brace of pheasants and a couple of days are both instances of the number "two. " |

Have you watched Fox news lately Wokko? It makes what you say laughable dude...   They couldn't be more Trump focussed if they tried.

Have to agree with Wokko here. Though some of their talking heads like Sean Hannity have jumped on board the Trump bandwagon, they've mostly backed the establishment Republicans and Cruz-supporting Tea Party types (both of whom are staunchly opposed to Trump) since the beginning. It may seem perplexing, but the American right is as fragmented as the left right now.

Murdoch is supporting Clinton over Trump, just like he supported Whitlam at first and editorially endorsed Gillard.
It will become more apparent as the actual election gets underway, this is all just the pre fight yap at the weigh in. Once the fight gets underway, all bets are off.
Lets not forget when people jump on what Trump says as proof that he's an idiot, he's actually more progressive than Clinton.
I reckon once he's elected POTUS you can forget about most of what he said he would do, and worry about what he actually believes in and what he will do.
Some of these things are the same, some are not. He's a wildcard and won't owe favours to anyone and that frightens the shite out of the establishment who are used to controlling things.

Do let me know, in due course, if capitalism is negatively affected by Trump being elected. In late-breaking news, I think you may find that big money will be just fine with either candidate. |

I just want to know whether the AUD will go up or down against the USD depending on who gets elected?
I couldnt give a rats who they elect but we need USD for Africa next year so I'm for whoever will give us more USD when we exchange - shallow much

Short term, I predict that when Trump is elected the $US will nosedive due to market uncertainty. That's the time to buy because it will go back up.
