Trump stages a comeback

Donald Trump is not a sure loser anymore. He may even win though it continues to be unlikely. What was considered impossible has now become only improbable. Hillary Clinton must be worried. She deserves to be.

Media and Markets are overwhelmingly against Trump. The former do not want their prediction to go wrong. The latter do not want to face the uncertainty of a new ideological face at the White House. There is near unanimity among the voters that whoever wins, the loser is the American voter.

In the unlikely event of neither candidate winning 270 electoral votes (because there are two independent candidates also in the fray), the electoral process may be repeated offering an opportunity to wash more dirty linen in public. It is also possible that voters may utilise the additional time to come to a better decision.

Global allergy towards Trump is misplaced given that the alternative is equally or more corrupt and immoral. Bill Clinton in the last one year of his presidency is said to have exhibited bizarre behaviour. Hillary Clinton may do it sooner. Americans do not deserve this fate. ISIS should be happy.

Such a nasty election debate !

Trump - Clinton debates preceding the presidential election have descended to the level of street brawls where reason and logic are at a deep discount.

Three debates are over and thankfully we won't have any more of them. Normally in debates we try to find out who spoke better and who conveyed more sense. But in these T - C debates we need to find who was less nasty. It is difficult to conclude who was.

American media has been mainly anti-Trump with or without adequate reason. Hence we are unable to discern who will a better - or less bad - president. Whoever is elected will find it extremely demanding to get out of the gutter politics spawned by the indecent and sub-human debates. May the less-fit lose !
