New Poll Shows Canadian Fear and Loathing of Trump

[Bragi]

New poll out shows that Trump would only score about 20 per cent in Canada.

It also shows that

"The challenges for Trump are not just a function of the normal Canadian skew towards Democrats over Republicans. His image among Canadians is burdened in several ways:

• 82% think Trump is certainly (54%) or probably (28%) a racist when it comes to his views of some minority groups.

• 82% believe Trump certainly (55%) or probably (27%) doesn’t really understand the rest of the world.

• Almost as many (75%) say Trump is certainly (45%) or probably (30%) disrespectful of women. 80% of women feel this way.

• 84% doubt a President Trump would make the world a safer place.

• His campaign slogal is that he will “make America great again”. Most (79%) don’t believe Mr. Trump would do that.

• For every person who thinks he would improve the US economy, two don’t feel that way. (32%-68%)

1. My friends think the USA needs...

...a wake-up call. They'd prefer it to be Sanders, but they'd settle for Trump if it meant no more Clintons.

3. Trump, though nominally a Republican, is independent of the greater evil, (Corporate

America) , and both the Democratic and Republican Establishments are under Corporate control.

She is for maintaining the status quo. This means maintaining the slow death.

Corporate America is slowly bringing total destruction to our nation. And Sanders is making a try
at defanging the monster! What an incredibly huge undertaking!! Someone has to begin this
mission. Sanders is it. My hat off to his integrity, courage and daring!!

The chances look slim now, but I haven't given up hope that Sanders would somehow still win.
Trump is certainly no bargain. I don't think he'd stay too long on the political scene, even if he
should win the presidency. He has no business in being in politics at all.

5. Trump would be a hell of a 'wake up call'. With the damage he would do, a 'knock out call'

might be more appropriate. The history of countries electing RW populist demagogues in the hopes of it being a 'wake up call' is not reassuring. Once in office the demagogue does not seem to understand that he is just there to send a pointed message to the establishment.
