Do you want me to compile a list and regurgitate my many criticisms of Corbyn ?
They're all on here somewhere, if you have time that is ?

This is a thread about the US presidential election so it would be interesting if you could just manage to name a couple of your criticisms on here against an has been politician whose political life is littered with failure, Corbyn was well off the scene when this thread was started so I'm not sure how he comes into the equation unless you have mistaken him for Johnston who you have lambasted on a regular basis, which by the way is not a criticism, also I'm not sure why you think It's me what needs to find the time to trawl through your posts which you allegedly criticise Corbyn, I'm sure if I did though and every critical post was worth say 10p, I wouldn't have enough to buy a lollipop

By a Norwegian neo fascist. Getting nominated is easy, it happened last year. It was laughed out by the Nobel committee.

You're right about this thread being about the US presidential election, the clue is in the title.
It's difficult to criticise Biden (he hasn't been in the hot seat yet) but, Trump makes it easy, even for a simple guy like me, to find fault.
Did I think that Obama was better than the current President, hell yeah. He had class and vision and a decent sense of right and wrong. Trump, on the other hand, always reverts to type.
Thanks for the lollipop though

I'm not a fan of Trump personally nor am I a betting man, but I would bet my last shilling that the American people won't be taken in by him again, a truly horrible person who nobody in their right mind should believe or trust, unfortunately the American constitution or whatever it's called differs greatly to ours, and we don't have different laws in Cumbria, Yorks, Norfolk etc, we all have to abide by the laws of the land, so the only time I would defend Trump is on the subject you chose to highlight him on that's the gun laws over there, nobody in their right mind would have guns in their house, but then again from what you see happening over there who can blame them, maybe they all deserve each other.

For the biggest economy in the world Trump or Bidden are the best that they can come up with is a reflection on the troubles with American politics. Mrs plastic Pelosi is another example of how far US politics has regressed - pityful

What is it about the most powerful elected woman in the history of the US that you don't like compared to previous Speakers?

She had so much surgery that her facial expressions are incapable of changing for a start. She preaches left wing doctrine from a huge mansion - hypocritical would you say?

Depends who you are comparing her to - Tom Foley or Paul Ryan or Newt Gingrich or John W McCormack - with his service in Vietnam?

I dont think that we have much to gloat at.
We had Boris or Corbyn to choose from at the last election.

Boris is like a slightly softer version of Trump.

I do like Trumps negotiating style though, we could have done with him to sort out Brexit.
Your lot (the Tories) are an absolute disaster and it seems that none of them can read, certainly not detail and small print.

Trump will have our trade deal negotiating team for breakfast

Must admit, I’ve been deeply unimpressed with the Democratic leadership, including Pelosi and Biden. I must defend Pelosi from charges of advancing left wing doctrine though! Obviously better than Trump, like. See also, nearly everyone.

Agree with Wrencat about Corbyn and Johnson too. I see it as being a reaction against the centrist positions/posturing and bland manners of Blair and Cameron.
