These elections are really interesting. Trump's fan base is projecting Trump as a "white voters" candidate. IF Trump loses, the bombings will come and start in Republican areas that will have massively voted for Trump. Need to check last elections maps to find out where property prices might slump.
Donald Trump's German roots The ancestors of "anti-immigrant" crusader Donald Trump come from a small village in western Germany. The documentary film "Kings of Kallstadt" explores the modest roots of the family's real estate empire.

You have to walk the last stretch to reach the Trump house located at Freinsheimer Strasse 20 in Kallstadt, a small, wine-producing village in the south-western part of Germany, in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The house at this address is a modest one, with a pale facade and tiny windows. This is the residence where Donald Trump's grandfather lived before he emigrated from Germany to the US and made his legendary fortune. This little house and the Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York City are worlds apart, but they briefly collide in the documentary film "Kings of Kallstadt," directed by Simone Wendel. Kallstadt is known for producing wine Frederick Trump immigrated to the US in 1885 The filmmaker, also born in Kallstadt, meets Donald Trump in his New York office and shows him a picture of his ancestor's house. "Beautiful," he says, which sounds a bit exaggerated, considering how modest the building is. The film director remembers that Trump was a bit reserved at the beginning of their conversation, but he warmed up as they further discussed his grandfather - a topic he didn't get to talk about very often. The former house of the Trump family in Kallstadt Trump's grandfather, Frederick Trump, left Kallstadt for the United States in 1885. From New York he headed off to the Yukon, in north-western Canada, following the Klondike Gold Rush. Today, Frederick Trump would probably be defined as an economic refugee - and his grandson Donald does not hesitate to use a belligerent tone against this category of people in his presidential election campaign. This attitude doesn't make him very popular in Kallstadt. Just ask around in the village's meeting places, for example at the counter of the butcher Appel, where a big poster advertises "Pig's Stomach Paradise." Trump's polemical statements against refugees are "impossible; after all, his father was one too," says Edelhard Kellermann. The villagers used to have a better opinion of Donald Trump, before he started his boisterous campaign, as the interviews Simone Wendel led with German relatives of the Trump family a few years ago for her film "Kings of Kallstadt" reveal. Donald Trump seems to have inherited at least one typical characteristic attributed to the people of Kallstadt: In the region, they are nicknamed the "Brulljesmacher," regional dialect for "bragger." A real estate empire built on gold Donald's grandfather didn't go digging for gold himself. One of his relatives explains in the film that he was too weak for that type of work. He rather opened a restaurant for the miners and they paid him with their gold. Frederick Trump sent the gold nuggets to New York to his wife, Elisabeth. She bought land with the gold, and that would serve as the foundation of the Trumps' real estate empire. Trumps buried in Kallstadt's cemetery Trump is not the only millionaire with roots in Kallstadt. The family of the founder of the ketchup dynasty Heinz also came from the same village. In her film, Wendel asks why these two exceptionally successful businessmen came from Kallstadt and creates a wonderfully bizarre portrait of her home town. Since the film's release in 2014, Kallstadt has become famous. Journalists keep showing up at the doors of Donald Trump's German relatives. A TV crew from Japan was also at the "Pig's Stomach Paradise." Trump also promised in the film that should he go to Germany, he would also drop by Kallstadt and visit the house where his grandfather once lived.
Interesting how Trump is so similar to Bernard Tapie. Same suits and red ties, same way of walking and surrounded by sex-objectified women, same ways of showing jets, mansions, cars. When Tapie went into the political ring, all his background was first brought out, then slowly and surely it became "hotter" for Tapie. At one point, the pressure got so much that Tapie went on to cry on TV for a breather. One thing I am wondering: how did Trump reacted/felt when his wife nude photos were all out there? Was he proud , angry , boastful? Did they also list all the guys she MIGHT have slept with? I know of some models who bed at least 100/200 guys. How would he feel, as politicians are capable of anything, if all his wife "bedders" were found and came forward to meet him, and boast about their performances? Psychologically, how would Trump cope? One politician hopeful was actually brought down like that.
So far the rioting has come from the left side. If Trump wins, it will be the left that goes up in arms.
I don't know about Trump, but we know for a fact that the other candidate's spouse is a notorious serial abuser of women and his wife not only enabled it but organized efforts to discredit and intimidate the victims. They send a scumbag like Carville out to impugn the victims.
IF the democrats lose, would they not accept that after TWO terms, it is kind of expected the Republicans were to win?
Look, here Bill Clinton is a former Two terms President. So he is "vetted" from all aspects of the US political systems. Now, I compare Ted Cruz wife , and Trump's one and seriously there is something that is saying that Trump has a LOT going for him, and his real problem is his wife. She is the opening by which other things will come, as it looks like Trump did not really know the "dirt" about her. Now after the wife "opening", it can become open goals to go after his other family members. That's why most experienced politicians protect their family by trying to shield them away from the parents' campains. As you are Americans, let's talk about Maddoff: till all the real s&$it hit the fan, then his kids also got the heat. Politicians are far worse than business people: when they go destruction mode, they are ready to hit where it hurts most as well.
Not my protestors. I am interested as the US elections impact other countries, let alone political betting. And to be honest those who really make decisions are not your president, but people in the shadow. So who the shadow let in, allow to see who the shadow will let in, in other countries.
