Depends on one's definition of 'popular', really.

Shame chscag Shame! 'popular' is not a word one uses in regard to politicians! You should know that with an election looking!

Will you accept our congratulations and salutations when Mr Trump gets elected?

Nope.... instead I'll be soliciting for moving expenses and airfare to beautiful Nambucca Heads by the ocean. I know somebody there who serves some pretty good flavored tea! ;D

This is one election cycle Harry that I believe I'll skip!

Too late. Elections July 3 and borders are now closed. And I'll be away that week.

Thank you Charlie. Whatever one's political affiliations, it's jolly nice to receive kindly messages from our American friends.

I, for one, thank you for taking the trouble.

When you say "decent shoes"…does that mean "sensible shoes"…or "they look great but may not be very comfortable shoes"??;)

Did they actually finish the counting down there as the last time I checked it was 8 days after the election and they were till counting, but the new guy said he won and claimed himself the victor.

Strange and I guess they must still use vote runners or something to get the results to the counters or some such things.

We'll trade you Hillary and Donald for her, as long as you promise to keep them far away from our shores. ;)

Hmmm… pretty dubious comment isn't that considering it came from someone with such a listed Location: In Denial ;)

And I'm really not sure of what trading is allowed or even permitted from such an area.

Pretty, always. If they hurt, take a taxi (though TM will be chauffeured everywhere). :)
