on the q you raise in your p.s.: if the tamil women you refer to are brahmins, I wouldn't be surprised; indeed, i would make that comment about tamil brahmins in general.

Hello Max and Everyone!

It is interesting you say that. When I was in India a few months ago, they were very closely following (not in general terms, but with specifics) this Presidential Election, especially my women relatives and friends (who are usually not into political discussions). 
*It was surprising to see ALL of them be more supportive of Trump than Hillary. The men were more skeptical and diverse in their humorous opinions! 

The reasons were wide ranging..but many of them indicated that the "image of the majesty" of the US has been diminished, and Trump wants to recapture the "Glory" of the Old USA. "Make America Great Again". One even said, Hillary was weak, because she came to meet Jayalalitha and was made to wait..another one was quite silly and said, because he married "beautiful women" (beauty is in the beholder's eyes aside!)

*I see it as the "MGR" factor-teflon included..someone who is enormously lucky, "looks superior" than others, not really a good orator, but appears charismatic, wealthy and powerful (except MGR always made sure - he was the "good guy"..glorified women and motherhood!) while Trump seems to trash talk women..but, nothing sticks!

Have also heard women in the US also echo what Donald says "Hillary does not look Presidential, and does not have the stamina"..which is quite disappointing.  I guess most of us have been so hard on Hillary for decades, diminishing who she is as a person (including me, when she ran against Pres. Obama)..it is so difficult for her to be impressive-capture that adoration/excitement..men politicians can take for granted.

I really hope she wins!

Hope all is well with you and all here.

one of them is (evident from the way she speaks), and the other i honestly don't know. why do you say that? most all of my relatives in the US, the tamil b men and women i know best, are vehemently opposed to drumpf.

if i were to guess why a few hindu indian americans support the idiot, i can only think of one thing -- his stance against muslims.

hello maria -- the US has been diminished? i am amazed! i think president obama has elevated the US's stock after the drubbing it took during the eight years of damage inflicted by dubya. i cannot understand what your indian relatives mean by the US's majesty has been diminished. i too hope she pulls through.

Globally, the last decade has been a disaster for US' standing as the sole superpower. The disastrous invasion of Iraq was only the starting point. That was of course a mess not of Obama's making.

However, his premature withdrawal and subsequent meddling in the middle-east to engineer regime changes all around - including the ongoing, ill-advised attempt to dislodge Bashar Al Assad - and unwillingness to clean up the resultant chaos and violence are all of his own making and have severely dented America's image in that part of the world. If only Trump was not such a shallow buffoon, he could have built a strong case that Obama was instrumental in the rise of Isis.

Afghanistan remains a mess, with the Taliban able to strike at will and the US showing absolutely no will to cut off their flow of funds and weaponry from across the borders.

Somehow, with his intellectual aloofness and inward focus, the man managed to alienate even traditional friends like Israel and Saudi Arabia and become universally hated in the Middle East.

China's open flouting of US power in the Pacific and the absence of any response from the US has caused allies in Asia to also wonder about America's commitment to their safety, not helped by Trump's ugly rhetoric of the last few months.

In Europe, Russia is invading countries at will, regardless of NATO and the US, severely denting the Baltic countries' confidence in their allies coming to the rescue in the event of a Russian military adventure. Putin is feared more today than Obama is respected. Brexit is proceeding despite Obama's counsel against isolationism.

So ya, it is not a pretty picture for the USA anywhere in the world. Its standing is severely diminished across the world, and most of this has happened on Obama's watch. This is not to suggest that Trump is the answer. That buffoon will only hasten the USA's demise as a superpower.

I think that would have resonated with rust belt/swing state voters (if they still have TVs and watched the debate). The media is Hitlery's lapdog and intellectuals are engaged in a pissing contest to bash Trump as badly as they can but it is the swing states which decide the Presidential elections and Trump may have an edge there.
Voters know Trump is a dbag but voting for him is the only way to stick it to the arrogant, corrupt, entitled Hitlery. This election isn't about smart voters using their intellectual prowess to pick the most eligible candidate. It is about which candidate can con the voters into making an emotional decision devoid of any critical thinking.

Let's get this straight. You are impressed by him, and most likely voting for him because he is a better con man. Yes?

Let's get this straight. You are obsessed  with him and post non stop about him. You pretend to hate him but you love him secretly. Yes?

Looks like psychological projection in play here, considering the numbers of posts you have against Obama. Not here to argue any further. Your choice to vote for Trump is your preference of course.
