Have you asked Hillary's supporters why they support her

Whether you like it or not, the same disaffection with career politicians that ushered in Buhari is what will usher in the Donald. And sadly Hillary is just the Archetypal career politician.

Do you even care to take a look at the things being revealed by wikileaks? What defense has she mounted to discount them?

Did you watch her lie when giving testimony before a house hearing on Benghazi?

She is bought and paid for. The system has been rigged. That is why she is still walking free today.

Even people at the FBI are disappointed with their boss, Comey.

Not surprised at the disjointed babbles that accompany the support of Trump.
Plebeians, yes , the unthinking masses are always dissatisfied with the political establishment. Part of the reason is that during elections, like we today, plebeians, as unthinking as they are, throw out common sense and vote with their emotions.
Emotions are the last things you need where when choosing a leader.

Now, demagogues like Trump know this, and they whip up and milk every negative emotion they can out of mindless plebeians to offer them the illusion of CHANGE for the better.
Does Nigeria 2015 ring a bell?

Just like Buhari, the plebeians are not asking nor bothering about the lack of concrete vision and Blueprint for change. They are seduced by the carefully molded words, soundbytes and platitudes.

The Clinton's are not 'great'
Bill Clinton was a cool President, that's all.
He had two sex scandals as president.
He was impeached for obstruction of justice and perjury.
He also lied under oath.
Hilary's no better, check out Wikileaks for a glimpse of all the dirty deals she's been doing. Most of my American friends are reluctant to vote for her but they have no choice. In this current election, Clinton is the best choice, the only reasonable candidate. The rest are raving mad. I mean batshit crazy. Especially Trump. She has high political knowledge and has been in the political scene for a long time. Obama has endorsed her, and her admin is basically just a continuation of his. And that's way better than Trump starting a nuclear war because someone hurt his feelings.

Don't worry, the racist poo will never get close to the White House. There is no way he will get 270 electoral votes to win. Thank God all the noise makers here on nairaland will have no say on November 8.

And what makes you think Hilary would get to 270? Forget the crap you read in the media, this election will be closer than most people think!

If no candidate receives a majority of Electoral votes, the House of Representatives elects the President from the 3 Presidential candidates who received the most Electoral votes.

Guess who controls the House of Reps? Republicans!

Learn to read, I'm not debating Trump's path to 270 is nearly impossible, I'm just letting you know that it will be equally as difficult for Hilary and if both candidates can't reach 270, the process then starts to favor Trump.

In my baseball lingo, you hit a Grand slam. The good thing is that you won't hear from this Trampy lapdogs after November 8 when Mr Racist would have lost in a record landslide. He won't even get 40% of the votes. He has offended every American except White males. In a diverse country of 330 million people, he has no chance of winning the election. Thats why the con artist is shouting about rigged election. The best part is that the circus barking misogynistic demagogue will go away from our politics. Good riddance to a deplorable piece of human poo.

That's no baseball lingo. Grand Slam is Tennis. Maybe you meant "You hit a home run". Don't speak on what you have no clue about. You don't know baseball lingo, how can you ever understand American politics. For sure you are not even American, since you don't even know the baseball lingo, how then can you speak on American politics. Please stick to your Nigerian politics.

You nailed it. The people here supporting the Racist and misorgynistic piece of crap called Tramp don't know jack about the con artist. Tramp hates Obama because of his color and what do the fools on nairaland think he will think of them in Africa. With Obama's accomplishments in life, the racists of Tramp kind and his allies at the KKK and Aryan Nations won't give the light of the day to the blacks in Africa. Good thing is that most of this guys suffering from Stockholm syndrome will go away on November 9 when Hillary becomes the President elect.

What has Obama done for Nigeria or Africa lately. Apart from trying to promote his gay agenda.

1. Has Obama even visited Nigeria?

2. Did he not stop buying Nigerian oil, but continues buying oil from Saudi Arabia, which has a very bad human rights records. Women are not even allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia?

3. Did he not champion the removal of Ghadaffi in Libya, now Libya is in shambles.

So tell again, what has the gay Obama done for Africa lately

My Chicago Cubs is playing LA Dodgers for National League Championship Series now. A Grandslam is when the bases are loaded and the hitter hit a home run. That's four runs in a home run. So you don't know what the heck you are talking about. A Tennis Grandslam is the four major tournaments like British Open, France, Australian and US Open. So know of what you speak of before opening your mouth.

If a woman aborts her pregnancy how does that affect or concerns you if you are not the father...

Killing a day old baby that can breathe on its own is murder. Stop your desperation.

Hillary will win on Nov 8 by no less than 7% points. The release of the Access Hollywood tape marked the end of his campaign.

As of today, he is leading in only ONE swing state - Ohio. He is polling at 17% among Latinos and is 20% behind Clinton amongst women.

Pray in life that you accomplish 1/100 of Obama's accomplishments in life. A married man with two beautiful young ladies as daughters compared to your Racist Tramp with five children by three different wives. So you calling Obama gay says more about you . End of discussion.

Evangelical Christians' support of trump is based on hate. They hate Muslims, they hate homosexuals, they hate catholic Latinos, they want to take away the rights of a woman to control her reproductive choices. They want a government that will abolish the separation of church and state. They want to bring the bible into the classroom.
On one hand, I hope they succeed. Because, once they've eliminated all the "undesirables", they'll start turning against each other.
The founding fathers separated church and state because of the sectarian violence in Europe, but these folks want to undo all that.
It's their funeral.

After reading most of the comments here. I just wanna ask most Nigerians on this thread that are not even gonna vote in the American elections, a few questions.

1. If you had someone who wants to put the interest of Nigerians 1st, not Ghanaians, Togolese, etc but Nigerians 1st before anyone else. Would you support that person?

2. If you had a candidate who blatantly keeps lying to your face and you know and she knows she's lying but doesn't care. Would you still support that candidate?

3. Would you still vote for someone who knew her Husband because he's the president was taking advantage of young women. It's like a lecturer taking advantage of a student because he's a lecturer.

Deep down Africans are conservatives. We don't support the gay agenda, we are not solely dependent on Govt but believe in working hard in order to make more money to take care of our family and we don't like to be taxed more. We absolutely believe in God and what he stands for. We call it the way it is, we are not and never have been Politically Correct.

The reason why Nigerians voted out Jonathan was because he was a very corrupt, lying two faced, clueless Piece of Sht. And Nigerians were sick & tired of same ol sht.

Trump might not be a saint, or far from a saint. He might have all the flaws like everyone of us. But i'd rather listen to someone who says it the way it is, not politically correct. Rather than a crooked Hiliary who lies to face just to get in and does absolutely something else, just like a typical politician who promises you heaven and earth just to get in. Once in he tells y'all to go 4k yourselves. i.e a typical Nigerian Politician.

I'm for Trump because he is for Americans, of which I'm an American and Yes I will be voting come November 8th, for the republican Party, because for the most part they represent what I stand for.

Make America Great Again. Y'all need to WAKE UP!!!!!!

Obama has 2 daughters but won't want his daughters to be Gay, but would rather have other people's children be Gay. He would rather have men go into women's bathroom and vice-versa. This says a lot about who he truly is.

It will be a landslide of note not seen before in American presidential election. He won't even get 40% of the votes. America is too diverse to be championed by an avowed racist and a demagogue. Only three weeks left and we shall see. Hillary can start measuring the drapes on 16th Pennsylvania Avenue now. The ship of victory has left the dock.

Kindly list any successful business that Donald Trump has ever run or is currently running.
Donald operates the equivalent of Ponzi schemes with his real estate investments, that have left many many investors holding the bag over the last several decades.


When last did you see a psychiatrist, you really need his help. A man that has 515 businesses and 4 bankruptcies in over 40 years of active businesses, compare that your miserable family, clan with failed lives.

He reported $916 million losses in 1995, which is sufficient to put any man you've ever met in your sorry life out of business, but he went ahead to build Trump Tower in Chicago that has 2,600,000 square feet (240,000 m 2) of floor space, rises to 98 stories in 2005. I'm sure nobody in your kindred has ever seen a 30 storey building let alone owning one.

You want to know businesses he started that has lasted, you truly exude embarrassing ignorance but I will help you.
1. Trump Tower New York (58 floors) was commissioned in 1983, where was your wretched father then?
2. Trump World Tower (72 floors) completed 2001, 6 years after the loss.
3. AXA Financial Centre (43-story trophy office tower in San Francisco) was completed in 1985 when your grandfather began a career as a wheelbarrow pusher.
Palm Beach Estate, Trump Hotels Las Vegas etc were already thriving when your father began his career as a Palm Wine tapper and are still in businesses.

Frustrated people do not see good things in other people, that's why your case is understandable but a psychiatrist can help you.

Christians do not claim to be holier than thou. they are bunch of sinners ( Trump inclusive) that acknowledged and confessed their sins, asked for forgiveness and obtained mercy. Their sins signify their past and the righteousness of Christ Jesus represents their present and future.
