>When that happens, the rest of world will never take american seriously anymore. You'll be living in the western version of Zimbabwe.

That is ridiculous.

Again, I remember all the fear people expressed when Reagan won in 1980...that we'd start World War III, that the American system would be destroyed, etc.

I also remember silly students at Brown University in 1984 who wanted to stockpile cyanide pills on campus in case of nuclear war. They definitely took the concept of FUD and went pro with it.

Trump is a loud-mouth. Even if he gets elected, he knows he can't do 1/10th of what he's pushing. But what's nearly comical is the reaction....ranging from "I worry about him being so close to pressing a button", to "the decision to elect Trump is really a choice on the future moral soul of this nation" (comment made on CNN the other night).
