Forget Brexit... now we’re braced for a Trumpset

PRESIDENTIAL polling day on Tuesday is like the National Lottery – you have to be in it to win it.

But the two ticket holders are both so undeserving of the jackpot I wish neither of their numbers come up.

Whether it’s a child in Aleppo quivering with fear over where the next bomb will land, or Theresa May in No10 quivering with fear over who will land the White House, none of us will escape the consequences of this election.

That Donald Chump might trump Hillary Clinton would have seemed nuts just six months ago. Yet the nuts, bolts and wheels are coming off the Clinton bandwagon now.

Ruthless

wish for. Political leaders should be like dentists with a steady hand and comforting manner. I ask you, would you trust either Trump or Corbyn to mess about with your teeth?

Trump appeals to predominantly white working- class men who have seen their jobs go to trade deals with China and Mexico.

So Clinton needs those collegeeducated suburban women who tend to lean Republican to swing it for her.

They may worry about House of Cards. Just as Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright are ruthless powers haring Frank and Claire Underwood so Hillary and Bill Clinton would add up to two presidents in the White House.

I’m not saying Hillary would make Bill UN Ambassador, as House of Cards’ President Underwood does with his spouse, or that Bill would bed young lady journalists, although neither is beyond possibility.

But I can see that comparisons with the Underwoods might put off the very female voters Hillary might otherwise attract.

I wonder how Monica Lewinsky intends to vote?
