Is this the US Political apocalypse ?

Even though I am from Australia I am interested in the US elections after all who wins gets to be in charge of thousands of nuclear weapons.I think Trump is probably the most significant candidate for decades I cant say whether I am for him or against him,there are assets such as business and negotiation acumen and there are liabilities such as being a blowhard with occasional foot in mouth syndrome but I don't personally judge someone unless I have either met them or researched them exhaustingly.

So far Trump has been attacked by virtually all and sundry left and right,and all the snakes hiding under the rocks are being dragged into the sunlight.Apocalypse means the unveiling or lifting of the curtain to reveal,could this be the election the sheep wake up,there is obviously a significant population of disenfranchised people by the end of this election they may well know the spell they have been under and the scam they have participated in unknowingly.

Some media has reported Goldman Sachs sponsors virtually all the candidates(they also virtually control European and Australian politicians also) but not CNN or Fox yet although Trump may force them to as he is making these secrets the media wont tell public.Today all are reporting on George Soros and Move on Dot.org etc as part of the sponsorship of the Trump rally disturbances but did you know John Kasick also got $220,000 from Soros he is not just a Democrat supporter.

Many lobbyists play both sides and with the establishment you would of got TPP,NAFTA and all the rest in either a Republican or Democrat regime,people are waking up to the invisible hand.

Finally a poster here posted this quote,'if you kill me now I will come back at the head of a far more powerful nation in need of a leader and you will feel the arm!'...Benito Mussolini 28 April 1945 just before his death.

My mother saw a Trump speech and swears he is Mussolinis reincarnation,she can remember him as a child,I have looked at you tube videos of both and yes there are scary similarities in body language and expression in which case if he is a Captain of the earth destiny will sweep all before him aside.

Back on topic do you think the system will be exposed bare this election cycle and what do you think will happen.

Political elections are like casino's.

Everyone has their favorite game or table or slot machine.

Everyone dumps their money into each one hoping that it will pay off for them.

But in reality, the House always wins, and we go home a little poorer.

Trump, Cruz, Clinton, Sanders. . . . . it doesn't really matter.

We all have our favorites and we'll all choose our favorite in the hopes that it'll pay off for us.

But in the end, after all is said and done, the House will always win.

Just enjoy the game.

No. If they made movies out of the election 'process' and sold tickets to see it, nobody would go. I'm not sure just how many people are really interested in politics and how much is promotion to get us all interested. The day after the voting orgasm, everyone will go back to sleep.

Boring as hell, I don't really pay much attention to the dog and pony show they got going 24/7 on American TV. I doubt many others are either. They are selling us (and you) the idea of choice and seeming control of the country called America. Nothing could be farther from the truth. We don't control anything, except when to pay the bills.

The politicians control even less. Look at how Obama couldn't even close Gitmo, see how little power he has over the military and what direction it is taking.

At least in your system the leader chosen stays the leader in my country we have had 5 prime ministers in 8 years,every time the polls take a dive the party room dumps them and yes the house always wins our current Prime Minister whom nobody voted for is an ex-Goldman Sachs head.

What country is that?

Here our leaders serve a term, regardless of what they do pretty much. They are preselected, voting is a game we play with ourselves, thinking it matters.

I'd have to spend money to drive down to the polling station. Even though it's half-price ATM ... it's still twice what I'm willing to toss for any of the candidates.

I personally believe the only people who can get rid of 'the system' are the Gun Owners of America. I'll probably join that movement when it takes off regardless of the gas price.

America was originally set up to get away form that system. Now its semantics mostly that divide and rule.

Ex Goldman Sachs member is your prime minister? Sinister. I'd be somewhat concerned about that, the Goldman Sachs ruined everything for us here.

Like the CIA, theres no such thing as an 'ex member'.

Darth Sideous may still well be the Grand Poobah he did the slit throat gesture to Trump,Id organize my own security if I were Trump

I think it's already exposed. Like how we know sugar is bad for us yet we keep ingesting it mindlessly. What else are we going to do what can we replace it with, this is all we have known.

It's like we are diabetics with a bag of powder donuts, hoping that they'll come up with a new healthy donut.

Maybe,the standard political answer in Australia is to give the sheep stadiums and 6 packs as well as hand held toys and reality tv,this has worked up until recently but like America we have lost our manufacturing jobs,our motor industry,most major food producers are in foreign hands on what agricultural land left that isnt ruined by fracking,there are free trade agreements galore and jobs going left right and centre.

The average Australian now knows there is a problem and that no one currently in politics can fix it or will fix it,so we will probably get a Trump here too.I think the status quo is actually coming to an end.

None of the candidates are worth voting for. I've said this time and gain. Take 1 hour of out your day and research them. You don't have to go back their whole career, just maybe 5 years.
Hillary lies and changes her story with every interview, depending on her target audience.Her self promotion and almost psychopathic drive for money and power are frightening.
Bernie's ideas are unworkable or will do more damage than they fix.
Trump is a loud mouth, blustering his way to the top, with bankruptcy after bankruptcy.
Cruz is a religious slimeball.
Rubio is like the little bother who just has to tag along when the older kids go out to play.

And none of them give a damn about US. As long as they get the power and control they crave, we are after thoughts.
