Fox News is totally unbiased! It's like the bestest channel ever. And breitbart.

Living in America is frankly, fking amazing. I have lived and travelled all over the world. Nothing is like America.

Unfortunately what you see and read on the media and the internet is nowhere near the truth of what it is actually like. Instead of trash talking about another country because of jealously, make your country better. You left the EU. Congratulations, that is a start.

I have been here for nearly 10 years and I have lived in different regions.

Over that time, I have witnessed the democrats spreading their disease of liberalism. Before and when I came here, I believed in the "hope and change." I am ashamed to say I was a democrat supporter.

On a daily basis the BBC publishes blatant lies, the sad part is that so many people in Britain believe the bullst. The liberal bias of the BBC and mainstream media is no coincidence. The media around the world are socially engineering people to the aspirations of the globalists.

As for Killary. She is a war criminal. Anyone else would not get away with the sickening crimes she has commited. I do not believe the polls. I still to this day have not met anyone in person who have said, they support or are voting for Killary. I have not seen one bumper sticker for her. I have seen a small handful of Bernie Sanders bumper stickers, that's it.

Everyone i've spoken to supports Trump. It is about time we (The U.S.) took care of ourselves. Stick your globalism up your arse.

Unless you have lived in the U.S. for a considerable length of time, you are not an informed individual on the matter, as many on here think.

Liberty or death. Long live the republic.
Wow! Before reading your post I was happy in my belief that the stereotype of the rabid republican was way off the mark. I've met quite a few Americans and found them pleasant. Most have praised the BBC. Those I'm still in contact with feel ashamed of Trump's diatribes.

Liberal bias of the mainstream media?

Wow!
Mustang isn't an American....

And his views are representative of virtually nobody.

I wouldn't praise the BBC - they have their own agenda and they most certainly are NOT unbiased. I wont put a label on it, but they do have bias.

I'm looking forward to hearing Mustang pledge his support for the brave and dignified parents of Captain Humayun Khan, a genuine American hero, and hear him vilify Trump for his comments about them and other Muslim Americans.

With these 2 candidates there is clear divide in their abilities, truths and policy.

I think it's got to the point where it is NOT what Good they can do for the country as President but what harm they can bring to the US.

Military Allies, religion, trade agreements, NATO, climate and emissions control, immigration, war on terror

This.

And as an aside, a country that views bumper stickers as acceptable should be viewed with contempt.

Clinton will be a perfectly good POTUS. She's worked in public service her whole life and is respected by leaders around the world. She's not very charismatic and suffers from 30 years of being hated by the right. Most of what you read about her is exaggerated or made up. Not all but most. She's achieved a great deal for children in America and was a very well respected senator (by Donald Trump amongst many) and is considered by those who actually know what they're talking about to have been a good Secretary of State. She may not be many peoples first choice but she'll be just fine, Trump would be a nightmare and would actually be a danger to America and its allies.

I will be so pleased when this election is over and we can consign Trump and the morons that follow him to the dustbin of history.

What cars do they drive?
Internet says that Donald Trump was especially proud of his Mercedes McLaren SLR but I can't find anything more recent (but I swear I read something a couple of years ago that he's a big Corvette fan). He's also on record recently that he enjoys driving - gonna say that he was probably making a stab at Clinton - think it was around the time Clinton rocked up at a fast food joint with secret service to show everyone that she was 'ordinary'.

I read something that suggested Mrs Clinton hasn't driven herself for around 20 years now.

Not really a big shock as she will have been protected by the secret service for much of that time.

Strange thing is that the Queen still manages to drive herself round town on a regular basis, and yet her security detail are very much hidden but still present.

There are people who think so, apart from the PHer to whom you replied, backed by various studies you could find easily enough.

For the large part, the US has many advantages over the UK.

I'm willing to be many many Brits would be moving there if it was easier to get a residents permit wink

What is Trumps policy on ISIS?

So far his policies seem to revolve around isolationism (build a wall, ban muslims), unfortunately we live in a world not a singular country. Most people realised this in C16.

That is like me judging the UK based on Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May.
True - and it's a valid comparison to pick the two politicians that represent most of the people. The UK is clearly better off.

I think it's along the lines of "defeat them, we'll be the best ever" or something like that.

Sharp comparison to the existing regime whose current line of defeating ISIS seems to be "defeat air conditioning", and I think Hillary is something along the lines of "Love trumps hate" which seems to be a line to fix anything, including an election.
