Hi Nigel, I think you are right. On another note: It does seem as though the Trump campaign cannot keep from continuing to lie to us: Fox News did not disclose that the female audience it selected for the event was packed with local Republican supporters and the network edited its broadcast to remove some of their vocal advocacy of Trump.

Hi Nigel, Re: Men are in crisis and scared. Re: Trump has proven to be good at connecting at an emotional level with younger men. Not to be putting words in your mouth; but, my thinking is that these are men without a formal education. When I graduated high school in 1958, a 18-yr old could find lots of jobs on offer. They were of the manual labor type; but, they were there. IMO this is not the case anymore; at least, not here in the US. I think these are the 'men' that are attracted to Trump. For some mistaken reason, they seem to think that he is going to bring back those jobs that are now gone for good. IMO what they fail to grasp is that, of all major politicians, Trump is the one who cares the least about them. Just some thoughts, Jerry Baumchen PS) Re: Suicide is the leading cause of death in men under 45 (in Australia). Could you provide some insight on this? My best friend in life immigrated to Australia in 1971; he had a degree in Marine Biology. He could not find much work in his field & ended being an airplane mechanic. In 2004, at age 61, he took his own life.

Hi Nigel, Re: It’s a sad indictment of American men/society that they prefer a rapist and criminal over a woman. One of the truest statements ever posted on this site. Thank You, Jerry Baumchen PS) I still cannot understand what they [ American men/society ] are afraid of.
