#1 The Germans want to sell dual use physics and chemistry equipment to Iran and buy fuel from Russia. Really why do they care what happens in US politics?

#2 Hillary commits real crimes - probably a lot more then we have seen so far. Trump is accused of being the Devil because he's an old-fashioned male. Dirty campaign indeed.

#3 p.s. MM, Germans been playing "bear baiting", and then running and hiding behind American skirts for two-decades. If Trump's elected, it's all going to end - and Russians have long memories.

#4 Well, probably more like 4 decades. I'm half German but look to my Slovak heritage. I'm not proud of idiots who want to help animals make H-bombs.

#5 They're upset that a Trunk nominee actually fights back using the same playbook and rhetoric the Donks have used for generations.

#6 Really why do they care what happens in US politics?

They have to live with the outcome, M.Murcek, and have no way of influencing it.

Love your title, charger!

#7 Mary Shelly was English but set Frankenstein in Germany. Visionary, perhaps?

#8 The beginning of the article is pro-Hillary spin, I didn't read any farther.

This is typical "they all do it" moral equivalency that I hear from one of my millenial kids that is impervious to argument on a factual basis.

#9 My German is 50 years old, but I think the title has something to do with waste elimination and maybe a brick.

#10 And who can make forcing a brick out through their anus quite the Gotterdammerung a German can?

#11 Not long ago I had a very fancy dinner in Beijing with a very influential Chinese businesswoman and her white Aussie mentor. The very well-mannered Australian woman engaged me at length about American politics and was absolutely horrified about Trump. I tried to calm her down but a little but her hysteria was remarkable. It probably didn't help when I mentioned that I was not a Hillary backer. But when she tried to guilt-trip me against Trump with a lot of liberal globalist blather, I had no choice but to gently let her know that I liked Trump in this election, and a lot of other people do too.

It is their hate which makes him strong.

#12 Skooter: Europe and the UK absolutely love Obama. There is a message here somewhere.

BTW, I'm listening at his very moment to a Trump rally in Florida. It may be one of his very best.

#13 Besoeker, I was watching that stream too and I agree 100% it was a fantastic speech. Glad I mailed in my vote a few weeks ago.

(Hope it gets counted!)

#14 Europe and the UK absolutely love Obama.

As far as I can tell, they love the idea of President Obama. But they loathe the things he has done, which has brought the jihadi frontlines within their borders. It turns out he is just another American cowboy in their eyes.
