I must confess that I switched off at some point in the proceedings and didn't understand much about what either candidate stood for - on the one hand I have no vote there, and I don't live there; but on the other hand US policies deeply affect me and both my home and my adopted home. A year and a half of campaigning politicians is more than I can bear - I tend to think that it doesn't matter who you vote for the politicians always win. I never comment on politics on my blog on the basis that giving them attention only encourages 'em.<BR/><BR/>I found your summary quite helpful - the triumph of a brown skinned man in a position of power (although only 52% of the people voted for him); alongside concerns that actually not that much may change because his politics are not those of a radical, but sound quite conservative.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes<BR/>JayaravaJayaravahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815277098386812048noreply@blogger.com
