Thanks for your views. There are lots of folks who are unimpressed with Trump, and many of them are in foreign lands. Funny that you mention my fellow Canadians: I remember a poll conducted in 2012 which implied that a Canadian electorate would have given Obama a huge landslide.

I'm not a representative Canadian in that I've been watching the turns and twists of U.S. politics for years. You might say it's my hobby :) One of the hardest things to "get" about U.S. politics, structurally, is the gridlock that's part of the Separation of Powers. If you grew up in a parliamentary democracy, as I (and I presume you) have, it is baffling at first to see Congress routinely defy "Prime Minister" Obama.
