Worst ever, Hasbeen?

I suppose you think Turnbull's our worst ever PM too. But as with Turnbull, Obama may be a disappointment but most people find him far preferable to the guy he replaced.

runner, in what way is Mrs Clinton any more extreme than Trump?

Mrs Clinton gets people killed, then lies about it. She has also failed at everything she has done.

She's a loser, even in marriage. Trump is a winner.

No I don't think Turnbull is the worst PM we have ever had, he is probably in a tie between Bully McMahon, Fraser, Rudd & Gillard. Still if it came to a test the best liars would be Rudd & Turnbull, both do it with a disarming smile, & a look of sincerity.

He is however probably the most dangerous. The world in general, & Oz in particular, are running out of luck. We can't afford a bumbling buffoon Like Turnbull. He is about as competent as that other Buffoon, we had up here, Beattie. He grinned like Alice's Cheshire cat, as he destroyed our Queensland economy.

I woke up to the fact that Bernie Sanders was likely to be active in the POTUS race when Dr Stephanie Kelton took two years leave of absence, in January 2015, from her position as Chair (= Dean), Economic Department at the Univ. Of Missouri, Kanses City, to become Bernie's adviser on economic matters.
Dr Kelton is one of the world's best theoreticians and communicators on economic matters.
One of her best articles is at;

Trump is a good man, solid, shrewd, putting fear in enemies of the people.

Trump (with German blood) may stand somewhere between Reagan and der Führer.

Funnily enough, if Hillary fails, then Bernie Sanders, born of a Jewish family, may be the man to face Trump in the election. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders#Early_life.2C_education.2C_and_family

Turnbull is an election winner over Shorten. Winning elections being the No.1 goal in politics.

And hasn't Turnbull appointed wet-pet David Morrison as the unofficial "Minister for Diversity"? That way Morrison, like a Decoy Duck, cops all the conservative flak, while Turnbull can have a foot each in almost-conservative and centrist camps.

It won't matter who wins the US election, here is what governments in the west have in store for us all:

Hi Plerdsus,

You may have hit upon a sure-fire political agenda - treble government expenditure, and abolish all taxation. Obviously - that makes sense even to a small child, if to nobody else.

The next parts would be easy: balance the budget and pay off the national debt. Piece of cake.

That takes us up to about 2019. What next ?

Back to the real world. Really, has anybody taken Trump seriously ? Or is it possible that he's been a sort of stalking horse for a more centrist candidate, by drawing another fruit-cake, Cruz, further to the Right ?

Meanwhile, old Clinton and old Sanders fight over the left.

The best fruit is usually in the middle of the tree, it' what pickers leave until last.

Here's my bet: a possibly-three-way fight between Rubio versus a yet-unknown Democrat or Independent candidate, perhaps Cory Booker and/or Michael Bloomberg. Three centrists, three fairly civil blokes: an Hispanic, an African-American and a Jewish bloke.

This could get interesting.
