Yes, I can say that with a straight face. Im serious. I am fully confident Trump will be the next US President.
As a Canadian, how can I say this?
Ok...first...I wish to state I am in no way comparing countries, or political institutions. Im simply going by how people 'in general' are. We are looking at voting and behaviour patterns OF people.
The US and Canada have similarities in their democratic systems. Given the stupid, the spiteful, the uneducated and the innocence of younger voters ( innocence of younger voters is a category all of its own. There are plenty of OLDER stupid, spiteful and uneducated voters too. Its just the placement of 'that' factor in the sentence.) believing they can actually affect change and how that got the NDP elected in Alberta, which alone put Alberta in the rear view as a place to live/work and invest. Forget about the oil woes on this one.
These same people elected Trudeau, Mr Selfie. Its easy to win an Election when you only need 2 provinces to get elected. Ontario and Quebec. In the last federal election, not a single vote out West counted. The election was over when Ontario and Quebec finished voting. But I digress.
Factoring in basic human nature and the mob rules mentality, factor in certain similarities between Canada and the US, Factor in a world in turmoil and pissed off, and factor in the stupidest choices Canadians have made electorally in years as a measuring stick for basic human world mentality and you now have elected Donald Trump as President of the United States of America.
Now lets watch and see.
