As someone with bad teeth and bathes every Sunday, I can't vote but, if I could, it would be for Ms Clinton. She has served her Country well, through good and bad times, and would make a fine President.Originally Posted by misskit
Besides my late step-dad said she would be the next president...and he died 4 years ago...

So when did your Trumpeter die.
Must have been blowing the Trumpet to hard.
Clinton 5% ahead today in UK polls.
Then again look at the polls for Brexit..
^ Trump hasn't had any good reports in the British press, so the above isn't surprising.
What has been amusing all along is how the British press has written about this election is that the British press think that Americans really care about what they have to say.
No listen America to the British press, they know best.
Preview of tomorrow, except they will be older.

^Who's she saluting?
Newsweek seems to be ahead of the game. Check date on their cover...Originally Posted by UrbanMan
It's still the 7th here on my calendar. I'm guessing they have a cover already made for a Trump win too...but what do I know.

^Nope. Picked it up on TD.![]()
^me too. And that the Poms wear socks with their sandals.
Back to the OP, if I was allowed to, I'd vote Clinton. Not bcos she's female, but bcos Trump is a pr**. Lesser of 2 evils. Would've preferred Sanders.
Saw an article on Bbc abt female nonagenarians & older voting for HRC. Some of them witnessed the suffragette (sp?) Movement. Was humbling to read that article, and their experiences.
I grew up in peacetime, with freedom of the press, democracy & the right to vote, get an education & a job. Sometimes, it takes those articles to remind me to be thankful of the freedoms that I have.
I personally could not care about 'Merkin politics, however I am taking advantage of the generous odds on Hillary and putting $5k on her for a 22% return on my cash.
Close Katie. It was the suffrage movement and it lead to the passing of the 19th amendment to the constitution which guaranteed women the right to vote.Originally Posted by katie23
An interesting side note many Trump supporters have been calling for its repeal. Disgusting people, they really are deplorables.

Wyoming acquired statehood in 1890 (Utah in 1896), allowing women to cast votes in federal elections. The United States as a whole acquired women's suffrage in 1920 (see below) through the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution; voting qualifications in the U.S., even in federal elections, are set by the states, and this amendment prohibited states from discriminating on the basis of sex.

^ That has fuck all to do with what Katie was talking about you blathering idiot.
Did I say it did Numpty, I just merely pointed out Swedish women could vote in 1718 is that so hard for you to understand.
And if you wish to speak about the Suffrage movement you may find The colonial countries were the first to have the votes.
Now please get back in the cellar and cherish your cap.![]()
