Re: So what do you Brits make of Trump ?
Interesting point about religion, it often sounds strident here because we are not used to our politicians making any grand statements about their faith, not even from Tony Blair -when he was in office- who is the most extreme in religious terms we have had in recent memory. However, were not Bill Clinton and George W. Bush 'truly religious' Presidents? Or is it a matter of how they link their faith to their policies? Wasn't Bush opposed to stem cell research for religious reasons? Was it a religious reason that got both George W Bush and his brother Jeb involved in the legal decision to re-instate Terry Schiavo's feeding tube in Florida in 2003? However I do suspect you are basically right and that on the day most voters choose the candidate they think will benefit the economy.

Re: So what do you Brits make of Trump ?
Since writing the post above, indeed a few hours after it I believe, Mr Trump signed 'a pledge' along with other GOP candidates that he will only run as a Republican, although I do not know if this is a legally enforceable pledge. That candidates have to sign a pledge to 'prove' their loyalty begs the question -will they or won't they? If you want to you can read The Guardian's report on this here:

If I may be "blunt" ; The world would be a lot better safer place if he were 6 foot below ground!
I tried watching "The Apprentice USA" once, I've never been so irritated in all my life!

Re: So what do you Brits make of Trump ?
The more obvious question is how, if selected Trump would fare in the race that matters. That of course depends upon whom the Democrats choose. Trump may look daft from this side of the pond, but compare his statements to the one that the no-hoper Rick Perry made- 'A broken clock is right once a day'. Gor blimey, Guv'nor, have you gawn all Gert and Daisy on us?

Re: So what do you Brits make of Trump ?
The latest poll has Trump vs Hillary dead even but Biden edges Trump by a few points.
Of course with a full 14 months from the actual election what does it really mean? And a Biden run might not even happen. But the buzz that Trump's given this campaign so early in its cycle is truly extraordinary. I've never seen so much interest in presidential politics, even when Obama came on the seen in 2007
