What's going to happen if I dismiss all my issues?

Trump is not going to get the nomination, the party is smart enough to block him and risk splitting the vote in a third party run, letting the dems win again instead of letting him be their person

If they don't we're all screwed. What's really bad about this situation is that he's leading in the polls. The republicans know that people like him. I'm scared they might do it just to get a president in the office.

He's not gonna beat Clinton or Sanders: esp. not sanders.

A platform of "AMERICA. WHITES ONLY. AMERICA." as advertised by a former CEO Billionaire is not going to beat any platform a democrat will throw out, and esp. not one that's "debt debt, less costs, less oligarchy" by a well noted anti-1%.

I cast my vote for Ted Cruz. But, the thing is, I am way too young to vote.

Personally I would very much like to see Bernie Sanders getting elected President - primarily because I'm a Social Democrat. However, I'm not American so can't vote there - looks like I'll have to leave it up to the American people to elect their next President :p

Is everyone in 10000 Islands a Liberal or Democrat? Nothing against them, it's just all I see in these RMB posts.

No. I'm a liberal, democrat, pacifist, secularist, and environmentalist. :P

But no, I don't think so. I don't think 1747 nations are going to be all the same.

I believe I know of at least a few in 10000 Islands that are conservative/right-wing ;)
But in NationStates in general, I would believe that people to the left of center outnumber those on the right of center - only a guess ;)

Lets just hope the American people dont choose a racist, self contradictory idiot as a president...

Nope, Libertarian Capitalist here. For whatever reason my country is not an Anarchy yet. Better get working on that...

Why can't you vote? Are you an overseas American or are you Puerto Rican (or from one of America's overseas Territories)? :)

Guess #2 Mate. It sucks I cant vote for Bernie Senpai.

Well, if America wants to be completely ridiculed throughout the Western world (and the rest of it as well) for the next four or eight years, they should elect him. But I guarantee people outside America are not gonna take his war-mongering so let's see how American relations with the rest of the world are going to unfold under his leadership. Just when the world thought it had gotten rid of the Bush legacy, this will be ten times worse... :p :p

Seriously. As if America wasn't ridiculed enough already. Trump is just going to be the cherry on top of a very big stereotypical ice cream sunday.

Yeah it's kinda "funny" how American citizens living in the "wrong" place (Puerto Rico or one of the Territories) don't get a say. I guess it would take Puerto Rico becoming the 51st state for that to happen. What are your thoughts about statehood? Sorry for all the questions, just interested and very curious :p

I find that pretty stupid. Either Puerto Rico should become its own country, or get a say in government.

Its alright neighbor. I like being interviewed when people find out im not from the US xD anyways, I think I speak for most Puertoricans when I say that statehood would be an amazing thing. Hell in last year's elections for the governor of Puerto Rico, the percentage of people wanting statehood was 76%, So you know people want it badly over here. However the MAIN reason why they want statehood, is for PR to get out of its humongous debt.

Money is pretty tight to the average Puertorican (me included) and finding a job (even part-time) is near impossible sense most business run on family members, y'know what I mean? Unless its a friend of a friend who knows a friend that has a job that can MAYBE! get you a job where he/she works. It is that bad. The percentage of unemployment here is 12.5% while in America is 5.50% i think.

So you could say that if no one those anything about it, then Puerto Rico is pretty much gonna end up like Greece in a matter of years. I think at this point of reading this you can see where my Socialist/Communist point of views comes from.
