US Election 2016

I guess they are down to Trump and Clinton.

From what my friends tell me, Democrats are going person to person, in anticipation the eventual face off.

Personally, I do not have any issues with Clinton, except that she's a woman.  I am a woman.  Yet, if I had to vote, she wouldn't have mine.

As a woman, I feel that we are already 'short-changed'.  It then coaxes us to try to un-woman our behavior.  Most try too hard and end up loosing the very essence of our person.
That is my experience and Clinton may not even be like that, but it doesn't make me feel comfortable knowing that a majority of women are like that to some degree and to err on the side of caution (for my comfort) I steer clear from ever getting into such a situation.

Then we have Trump.
Is it wrong for him to want to build a wall?  He's not.
Every country, for the sake of her sovereignty, requires permission for entry - airspace or land space.  This is also why Singapore moved the Immigration checkpoint for rail visitors to be at the point of entry to the island republic from the business district.
When countries share land borders, keeping people in and out is serious business.  Land borders stretches for miles and over different terrain. Isn't a border some fence, like people have to demarcate where your land ends?

People say, he's a supremacist - white that is.  Well, whatever he subscribes to is secondary, IF he is serious about positive change for everyone.  If change is what he has promised for all people, it no longer is about him being a supremacist.  He has a track record of getting things done.  Isn't that important?  Why vote for someone who is just going to bask in the limelight, fan his ego while the population suffers with no basic medical care?  That is the issue in America.  Their healthcare.  Americans I know, have lost their healthcare and even as Singaporeans bitch about our CPF, at least we HAVE our Medisave.  The average American adult, age 30, cannot even afford to be hospitalised these days.

Trump, for years, have raised funds for the US Veterans.  That's commendable.  These military personnel have carried out their orders, came home permanently injured and many are forgotten.  All those years, Trump did that, was when he was not running for Office.  That has to count for something.

He was right to say, he backed this person, that person and they all lost, which is why he decided to run himself.

That is the voice of success.
When people fail you, DO IT YOURSELF.

I understand where he's coming from.  AND hard as he may seem to be, THAT differentiates a doer from a talker.
Anyone can talk.  Remember that arsehole who told my friends he will buy them dinner after they get him out of his shit?  He never did.  Trump has done whatever he said he would do - we know that because he's a self-made man.

Then comes his competition who just days ago, made a comment about the size of his hands.
Well, if Trumps hands are 'undersized', yet he has accomplished so much, imagine if they were larger - he would rule the world!
The candidate who made that comment clearly is immature.  I would have expected such a comment to come from teenage boys but not grown politicians.

At the end of the day, is it the length or girth which matters?
Actually its neither.  What matters, is whether, the American people are going to have money in their bank accounts.  You can have all the FREEDOM legislated, but if you're stone broke with no healthcare, that FREEDOM is worth nothing.
