Your obvious admiration for Warren is not shared by an equal number of Americans. She is far too socialist for much of the population and her remarks thus far have been described as "childish" by many, some Dems included. BTW, the term "Progressive", in its present political context, is arguably a sad misnomer.
Which remarks?Edited by Jimbeaux on Thursday 21st July 16:33

His Clinton "civil war" comments above also meaningless and unsubstantiated drivel.

The Onion strikes again.
Lots of rude words. Well, one rude word repeated lots and lots and lots of times.

Seriously, if you're in the UK watch a recording of this car crash of a speech. It's so bad it beggars belief. Any Americans or people of good faith around the world who may have been scared by the prospect of this moron becoming President will be sleeping a little easier tonight. There are not enough gullible fools in the US to get him close. All he did tonight is firm the resolve of those committed to ensure he never sets foot in the Oval Office and persuade the undecided to cast their vote elsewhere.

No mention of that wall.
Funny that.

Trump said:
We are going to build a great border wall to stop illegal immigration, to stop the gangs and the violence, and to stop the drugs from pouring into our communities

There was very little that was new.
Isolationism-lite (compared to pre 1940 America) with a requirement for allies to contribute more to their own security.
Nativism
Protectionism
Anti-elites
Law and order- "Blue lives matter"
Would over 50% of Americans support most of this agenda?, probably, would they support Trump?, more doubtful.
By deliberately tapping into many of these themes the Brexit campaign took 52% of the vote in the referendum campaign, but they weren't lead by a figure as polarising as Trump.

I used to think that but now I'm not so sure. The poll ratings seem quite close so it does seem that there's a substantial number of people who are willing to buy his snake-oil.Countdown said:

You are incorrect. You know better.
Well, that's me convinced! When you suggest that being a fraudlent racist bigot is equivalent to somebody who sent dodgy emails it weakens your case substantially i think.
Trump led the Birther movement for how long? And even to this day when he's asked about it he doesn't have the decency to apologise or admit he's wrong. And what he said about Sen. John McCain was just one of many derisible comments. But hey, Hillary sent some email from her private account.
"They're both the same" my left butt cheek!
