yellowboat Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 How do elected leaders even listen to that big sissy? That sissy who refuses to debate or bear any scrutiny. The election will be a roller coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SABloke Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 He told Trump that it would next month. Why is he expected to honour his words to Abe? I predict a sudden important announcement before the end of the year, that would (without technically or legally needing to) delay the election and Big P will be forgiven for "lying" due to the prestige of the event.????

The delay is already baked into the cake, and fully documented in two articles on asia.nikkei.com. Just google that domain and "coronation first" and "election by may".

tropo Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 That's a good one... The very person who damaged (or destroyed) "sustainable democracy" is the one promising it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
