Pieter,
Republicans have too many candidates for now, over 10 officially! Is Trump really among running for a president? What is he thinking?Hhe would become a tabloid figure even more than before and his hairs and his wives and his lifestyle...
Jeff Bush is running without mentioning his name... he may have good intentions but his cabinet has neocons, very dangerous.
Hillary Clinton does not have another challenger besides Bernie Sanders.

Guys, sorry that I do not write that much now, but although I finished the school year I have a class 8-5 now in a neighboring town. It takes lots of time!

Guys, here is more about how Donald Trump is seen at home: www.cnn.com/2015/06/16/politics/donald-trump-2016-presidential-bid-reality-show/(CNN)Donald Trump has a new reality show: the 2016 presidential election. Boastful, ranting, unfiltered and breaking every single rule of politics, The Donald announced his bid for the presidency on Tuesday with the indignation of someone who is mad and not going to take it anymore. The bombastic billionaire, who hosts the NBC reality show "The Apprentice," provided his audience with the self-parody that many have come to expect along with flashes of substance that could have an unexpected impact on the race. He vowed to take on China and ISIS but also said he would build a great wall to stop Mexico from dumping "rapists" on U.S. soil, questioned the intellect of Jeb Bush, branded U.S. leaders as "stupid" and lamented that "the American dream is dead." |

Interesting the material you have brought upon the table of thought with this Mr. Trump. He most diffenantly displays some very serious mental issues that needs be attended to.

 P.S. For English as a second language, "We shall overcome" is a Civil Rights theme. Comb is to "comb the hair". Donald Trump "over combs". |

Thank you for your very valid description of "overcome and overcomb", it was for a bit, some what confusing in terms and meaning.. English is an excellent medium of communication, but, as demonstrated, there are the pitfalls that will catch the unwary.

On the TRUMP sign on the Chicago building, much to my surprise I find it blends in / matches the building quite well. It also looks quite removable to where it can be changed when someone else buys it. Imagine seeing it as the "SHICKELDORFER" building!

Would Donald Trump as president be like an American Silvio Berlusconi?

Dear Jaga, Jeff Bush and Hilary Clinton are both members of a political dynasty and have experience in the family. Jeff Bush is different than his father and brother. Hilary Clinton will have her husband, daughter and probably Obama as advisors, but also Jimmy Carter, Zbigniew Brzeziński and even George W. Bush. Bush Clinton friendship GEORGE W. Bush has described Bill Clinton, his fellow former American president, as a “brother from another mother” and has given details of his unlikely friendship with the man who in 1992 had denied Bush’s father a second term in the White House. The two men, both 68, have bonded over becoming grandfathers. Bush’s twin daughter Jenna gave birth to a daughter, Mila, in April last year and Clinton’s only child, Chelsea, had a girl, Charlotte, in September. In an interview with The Sunday Times in his high-rise office in Texas, Bush said that he and his father, President George HW Bush, 90, had telephoned Clinton to congratulate him. “I said, ‘Let me tell you something. Get ready, you’re going to be the lowest man on the totem pole in your family.’ And he laughed. We get along great.” The prospect of a presidential election battle in 2016 between Bush’s younger brother, Jeb, and Clinton’s wife, Hillary, is a source of banter between the two former leaders. “He obviously keeps his counsel on Hillary but I like to needle him about how he’d be an interesting first spouse,” Bush said. “We were both Southern governors and we both like each other. He’s fun to be around. I hope he would say I’m fun to be around.” The friendship is based in part on the rapprochement between Clinton and the elder Bush, who in “some ways ... serves as a father figure” to Clinton. “Bill Clinton treated Dad with great deference and Dad has become a friend of his,” Bush said. When Clinton was in office he consulted Bush’s father, while Bush sought his predecessor’s counsel during his term from 2001 to 2009. In times of crisis or political turmoil in Europe sometimes large unity coalitions are formed. In the US that is impossible. Imagine the best brains and talents of the democrats, republicans and independent movements (Reform party and etc.) cooperating for once and creating a technocratic and pragmatic cabinet, congress and capitol for once in history? Again that can only happen in Germany or in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands Democrats (PvdA) and Republicans (VVD), left (liberal) and right (conservative) collaborate in a unity government of center-left (the moderate centrist social demococratic Labour Party PvdA), center right (the moderate wing of the VVD) and right (the right wing of the VVD). Cheers, Pieter |

My self do agree with Pieter in that only the brightest and most talented should run for president. For being the chief operations, executive and top administrator would best suit the job.
Perhaps though as a person looking in from the out side have not the insight of understanding.
