““(We) hope that it will be an election result which is accepted by everyone and that we do not possibly get a delayed stalemate”

Wolfgang Schäuble, that statement indicates you’re an ignorant fool on so many levels that I don’t have time to even outline them, much less go into any detail.

He needs to mind his own business and concentrate on keeping Germany from becoming New Syria.

They’re worried the election could put a dent in their globalism and redistribution of wealth.

If the Chermans hadn’t folded so quickly we could have atom bombed them too.
They were planning to use a similar weapon called ‘Taifun’c.f. on our troops in Normandy.
It was a nasty super bomb using kerosene, aluminum powder and coal dust but an artllery attack thwarted them.

“I have to wonder about all these foreign morons worried about our elections.”

They’ve all invested heavily into the Clinton Foundation. How are they supposed to make good on their investments unless Hilary is POTUS?

Also, with all the machinations to get a war going with Russia, the EU is scarred to death that they’ll be stuck with it without the US to parasite off of. The US won’t go to war without Hilary as POTUS, since it’s the Soros scumbags that’ve been creating that war.

Tell your German friend I understand his fears because they have been sponging off of the USA for 70 years and sabotaging us at every turn. If we ever have to go back to Germany for a third time they will think WW II was a pillow fight.

I live in Germany, so I can speak to the “unease” of Germans over Trump.

Since January, the state-run TV empire (Channel One/Two) have probably dedicated probably a thousand hours in bits and pieces, of negative Trump coverage. It started out slow, but by March...was being handed out almost daily.

The pictures used for Trump in any presentation on German state-run news? Mostly all unflattering. When they did an interpretation of Trump...they had some weird sounding German voice....almost like a cartoon character.

Last week, they ran a live public forum with three Americans who live in Germany and gave their own feelings over Trump or Hillary. On the panel as well...two noted German journalists who hyped up negativity over Trump about a hundred times during the hour-long program. ‘How could anyone be so stupid to vote for Trump’ was their theme....spoken by the two intellectuals.

A couple of weeks ago, polling showed 91-percent of Germans expect Hillary to win. So, any win by Trump will be utter shock and disbelief.

And if Trump does win? I expect him to be cornered by the German media/political apparatus for months and months....with the US likely withdrawing it’s troops from Germany as one of the dramatic lessons in this whole episode.

You mean he thinks Hillary will win? That’s one stale mate. Just ask Bill. Or Huma.
