Oct 20th 2 am UK time.

Last chance for the Establishment to stop the Trump surge in the polls.
World leaders will be watching, Establishments will be tuning in on the edge of their seats in trepidation.

People will be laughing, diving into the popcorn and knocking back the alcohol.

Round 3. Rock'n'roll.

'But a politician is different to a businessman as a politician has to have the approval of others before taking action. He can't just do whatever he wants.'

Absolutely, but as Trump always says, he gets on with everyone, the Chinese, Putin, anyone. That is how he has been a successful businessman. He gets on with people and makes deals. He says he will get on with the Democrats. But obviously the crooks will be prosecuted.

But you keep talking about it if you like. I mean you obviously prefer talking about that than anything else

Winchester, that's hilariously ironic in the context of a thread in which I made numerous contributions but you described me as a lurker because you hadn't bothered to check.

The wall is possibly the most bloody stupid of all Trump's bloody stupid ideas. It won't work, and for sure Mexico won't pay for it.

Claig, I'm glad you acknowledge that Trump has put forward no plans and has not demonstrated how he will put his grandiose promises into effect without bringing about an incredibly dangerous worldwide situation. After all, MacArthur and Patton were operating in the context of world wars. Is that what you want?

'I myself would ask Claig how, if Trump is 'not clued up on policies' is he going to move ahead on a foreign policy issue like Syria. Obviously he will take advice and listen to positions. '

Trump has some key advisers who have told him what is really going on in Syria and Trump listens to them. He knows about "pay for play", he knows about Benghazi, he knows about the 33,000 deleted emails, he understands what has been going on.

Trump will end the war in Syria very quickly and he will work with Russia to smash Isis.

'But he's never told anyone how he plans to accomplish this. That's the problem. Anyone can stand up and claim they will bring peace, prosperity and a land flowing with milk and honey: if they want us to believe them, they have to produce something resembling credible plans.'

Trump is not a "politician", he is a doer, a businessman. He will get it done. He always says "politicians, all talk no action" and he said about Hillary in the debate "all words, just words". With Trump there will be action and it will be fast. C rooks will be prosecuted fast. All the top generals will be invited into a room and asked to expalin how they would defeat Isis and Trump will pick the one with the best ideas just as he always says that "General Dougla MacArthur" and General patton would be rolling in their graves if they heard how the United States hadn't yet been able to end Isis.

Trump says Mexico will be paying for the Wall, but they don't know it yet.
There is going to be action. It will all get done.

Hope he's got his urine sample ready.
