I suspect the media elite already know and use this covert persuasion tactic and they don't like Trump because he is trying to use his wealth and celebrity status to buy the presidency. That's the opposite of modern politicians who are bought and paid for.

Hi Steve,

I think I agree with everything you said!

I think there's a lot of corruption in politics (on both sides)... and a lot of "hidden agendas"...

By the way, it's interesting that in the first poll after the debate, Donald Trump increased his lead...

I found this Fiorina article yesterday:

I guess those of us of European heritage haven't done squat in economics, math, religion, etc. I wonder how well the Aussies would receive this kind of gibberish???

And, this article:

http://news.yahoo.com/lawyer-pakista...104727509.html

shows us the problems inherent in every culture. Unfortunately for the children in Pakistan, they carry an additional burden: religion.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if even one politician had a clear plan to "solve" this kind of injustice???

Not pontificating on any one politician in particular just hand picking issues that deserve attention from our so called leaders, regardless of country.

Steve,

I also didn't mention civil asset forfeiture and structuring. Both exist in OZ but are not enforced to the degree the (US) police mafia use them. Google civil asset forfeiture and you'll find some egregious examples of US police stealing the money of small business people and children.

Yessir, land of the free. What a joke we've become.

Just my 2¢...

I'd like to see Trump as president and Dr Ben Carson as vice president. Carly Fiorina blew her chances of Trump picking her as his VP. Ted Cruz is ok, but he's a bit to religious for my taste. I don't mind spiritual orientated people but religious extremists are scary because they'll kill you if you don't agree with their views.

And the only republicans the media seem like can't win.

Cheers,
