In the end I have come to the conclusion that I do not understand US politics at all.
I am sure the Republicans say ill of the Democrats and vice versa. I am sure we hear the political propaganda from both sides, but it is impossible to know that facts.
One thing is certain: gun crime in the USA is far, far higher than here in the UK and I blame the lax gun laws over there (see graph).
UPDATE 1429z: If Mr Trump gets in again, the most likely route is USA isolationism. I do not mind that the USA stops being "the policeman of the world", but I can sense dangers over Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel.
