I not trying to argue with you MrBrown, I was actually speaking more to the other guys. I lived outside of the US for many years, and I know that even by watching the news everyday you never really know how things actually are over here. I just think it is ashame if you buy that his name and his race as the biggest reasons Americans wont vote for him. In the end he is very much a socialist. To people in Europe this is not that big of a deal, as Europe has a much stronger socialistic mentality than the US. But many of us in America are very legitimately against socialism, and that above all else is why I would not vote for the man. A LOT of Americans feel this way about socialism. Also, He and Biden both are for some pretty severe gun control, another thing a lot of us wont stand for, these guys would throw out the second amendment if they could.

You can bet if he looses today, headlines in the newspapers would announce things such as "Racist Americans Win Election". That isn't really fair, because there are many other reasons not to support him. In fact, if he was a white guy, with the exact same charisma, policies, and campaign finds, he would be nowhere near as far as he is now. I think his race as a benefit and a determent pretty much equal out.
