Until Bush, the lesser got elected - I was sure of the same - that americans would vote for the best candidate.. Not anymore - sorry, you collectively burned it badly when US managed to "elect" Bush jr, not once - but twice, as he had proven himself to be less than good in the art of international diplomacy and politic...

I fear - if one of the republicans got elected - and it does not matter who they are, Trump, Carson, Cruz, Rubio, Fiorina - or some of the other, less plausible candidates, like little brother Bush the lesser... A war would emerge before 18 mounts was over - a war who would do horrible damage not just against the country, or countries the US deiced to attack - but to the world at large.. A Republican candidate in the White House - would mean World War tree - no less... And that would mean millions and millions of dead people, all over the world - including the United States..
