    I wrote in my February thread in Discussion Time that it was foolish to underestimate a clown and how everyone had underestimated Regan and framed him a clown early on

    As I said in my thread about John Wayne Gacy, the original real life killer clown, when he was arrested, he said "Didn't you know, a clown can get away with anything"

    Problem is with all the bbc lampooning we are woefully unimformed about what his policies might be. Slightly off topic but the bbc need to have a long look at how they report the news without applying their political correct prism and thus distorting the facts.
    I think....

    Don't be surprised if he reinvents himself yet again.

    I think the campaign was just sales rhetoric.

    People moan about how the Brexit Team manipulated facts in our referendum.

    I wouldn't be a pollster looking for work right now!

    Spot on, liberals have no idea the huge simmering resentment that a narrow recieved wisdom is dispensed by the BBC, that not only gives a one sided view but has the temerity to frame all other views are wrong or conspiracies.

    A prime example is Putin. Yes he's a danger, yes he's reckless, BUT we never get the view from the side of Russians, other than via RT which the BBC and liberal class dismiss out of hand, never bothering to actually engage with the view from the Russian side. This antagonises Brits that have a proper view of both sides, and really rubs Russia up he wrong way

    Nigel Farage, the leader of Ukip, described the result as "bigger than Brexit".

    He told The Telegraph that Mr Trump's election will represent a "massive result" for Britain.

    He said that the UK would have a "friend in the White House" who will prioritise trade relations with the UK.
