In the past our news services almost always seem to have trump in lead 3 or 4 stories almost daily, but recently AOC is has almost toppled him for most newsworthy.

And another making news one of you guys will fill in the space i think he owns starbucks and is gonna run as a independent possibly. Could split votes from both dems and repubs

I know little about voting in the usa but is it possible he can become president with out candidates in each state??

And you dont actually vote for president do you only red or blue in your given state and presume you vote for candidates in each house of parliment over there?

I'm not an expert on the US electoral system but it's a weird one! Yes, the populace does vote for President at election time - this is the "popular vote" Hilary Clinton beat Trump by almost 2.9 million votes yet Trump won the election because of the "electoral college" process. It's a rather strange system.

Electorate college better system for checks and balances. Prevents run away wins by smaller geographical area. Like the problem we have in Canada federally with kbec.

Yes it is theoretically possible for an independent to win President.

Trudeau will have to send a couple hundred million to downunder to silence the press there also.
