The eccentric billionaire Donald Trump is the leader in the debates of the Republican Party and may become a candidate for the post of US president. Thanks to him, the abuse has already become a branded sign of the current election campaign

The first television debates of the republican candidates for presidents, held on August 6 in Cleveland (Ohio), were supposed to “open their eyes” to voters for Donald Trump. The leaders of the GOP - Grand Old Party - “Great Old Party”, as Republicans since 1876 called, were sure that other candidates - more competent in issues of domestic and foreign policy - would not leave a “jump in big politics” to a billionaire Trump to look convincing in the polemic.

It turned out the other way around. Trump increased his leadership, despite the new scandalous statements. According to the NBC television company, it has 23% of the support - 1 point more than to debate. The closest pursuer - Ted Cruz, a Senator from Texas, is gaining 13%, a former neurosurgeon Ben Karson - 11%. The ex-head of the Hewlett-Packard Karly Fiorin divides fourth place with the Senator from Florida Marco Rubio, they have 8%each. It is curious that Fiorina-the only woman-candidate in the Republicans camp-had only 2%rating to the debate, she was not allowed to the main discussion in the evening prime time of the Fox News television channel.

However, she was so remembered by the audience-collectors on the so-called “secondary” television battles, in which rating outsiders participated, which rose in polls at once by 6 points.

The breakthrough was carried out at the expense of Hillary Clinton - so far an unconditional favorite among the democrats. Fiorina gave her an absentee fight, speaking with the most irreconcilable criticism of the former first lady, ex-senator and ex-mosquito. The losers of the television devices can be called Jeb Bush and Scott Waker, they share fifth place with 7% of support, each rolled into 3 points. According to other surveys, the former governor of Florida, the son of the 41st president and the brother of the 43rd, lost even more, although it looked solid, calmly, that is, competently, but ... boring. However, he still remains among the favorites.

In the age of Twitter and round -the -clock television, it turned out that the masses of Americans were impressed by the scandalous style of a billionaire - the construction magnate of Trump. First, Trump offended immigrants: “They bring drugs to the country. They bring crime. They are rapists. And some of them - I admit - decent people. " This will still respond to him in the late stage of the election battles, political scientists are sure. Then he doubted the heroism of Senator John McCain, who was captured during the Vietnamese War: he "became a hero only because he was captured." In response to this, McCain's friend Senator Lindsay Graham called Trump's Dawn. He called his opponent in the elections of Senator Graham Trump, in turn, an “idiot” and publicly dictated his mobile phone number at the rally. In response, the senator burned the mobile phone, shot it on the video and posted it on his website. “Trump is so unpredictable that it almost refreshes. And, I think, therefore, his bets jumped so high among the one -party members, ”said Scott Folkner analyst.

Scandal as a method of election campaign

The abuse becomes a branded brand of these elections. Senator Cruz called the leader of the majority in the upper house of Mitch McConnella "liar." Of course, Trump himself gets. The sponsor of the Scott Waker campaign, Gregori Slater, called Trump's Double Dungeon, and another candidate, Rick Perry, the ex-governor of Texas, called Donald Trump’s election campaign “carnival barking and a toxic mixture of demagogy, senselessness and average”. Trump's answer was not long in coming: “Perry was amiable in the last election and asked me for money and support. Here is a hypocrite! " By the way, Perry can become the first candidate who got out of the distance. In the American press there were reports that he had nothing to pay employees of the election headquarters, sponsorship contributions were over.

Instead of discussing the programs of candidates: what do they think about external duty, the Tax Code, healthcare, development of the education system, the American press is losing how Republicans call each other. All this is noted by analysts from the filing of Donald Trump. The leadership of the Republicans tried to restore him, he replied that he could generally enter the elections as a candidate from the third party. “My successes prove, the Americans are tired of Washington politicism, I represent a kind of emerging movement,” Trump said. -Something is happening. The most tired of the silent most, that they are pushed, that they are not put in anything and that they are controlled by stupid people. ”

The loss of ethical norms among politicians concerned President Obama so much that he spoke about this in a distant Addis Ababa at a press conference.

“The Americans deserve more,” said Obama, “and the presidential debate deserve the best. After 18 months I will rent the keys to the White House, and I want to convey them to the one who is serious about the problems facing the country and before the world. ” Obama talked about Trump, although he had previously ignored questions about him, apparently not wanting to add popularity. The president condemned the billionaire attacks on his former opponent in 2008 by John McCain. It got from Obama and other presidential candidates - Mike Khakabi, who said that Israel is in agreement with Iran Obama directly to the doors of the new Holocaust furnaces, and Senator Ted Cruz, who announced that the agreement providing for the defrosting of Iranian bank bank accounts, makes Obama administration “the largest banker of terrorism directed against USA ".

“It would be ridiculous if it weren’t sad,” Obama comments on the words of Khakabi about the furnace. The US President says about Cruise: “The current senator who has advanced to the president claims that I am the main state sponsor of terrorism. These are outrageous attacks that go beyond the boundaries of political decency. ”

Donald Trump's female question

A survey conducted among the supporters of the Republican Party showed that the majority-22%-gives the victory in the first television battles Fiorin, although, I repeat, it was not on the same stage with the main applicants for the republican nomination-2016. 18% are convinced that Donald Trump performed best. At the same time, 29% of respondents said that he was the worst. Once again, it was confirmed by how this candidate polarized the Republicans. Among those who are “against”, there are many women who collects. Trump caused new disputes after he criticized the leading Fox News television channel, asking him the question of dismissive statements about women he allowed in recent years. The day after the debate, Trump said: “One could see her eyes filled with blood. Blood came out from her from everywhere. "

Many perceived this statement as a hint of the menstrual cycle Megan Kelly. Trump said that only such thoughts can occur to the abnormal way. According to him, he had in mind bleeding from the nasal of the leading.

However, Karly Fiorina said that women were horrified by Trump's statement. Hillary Clinton called Trump's words “insulting” and “outrageous”.

Responding to critics, the billionaire said that in the event of the election he would be a reliable defender of women's rights. C or a third marriage, Trump said he hired thousands of women to work in his companies, and called them “amazing leaders”. “I apologize when I am wrong, but I was not right,” Trump said in an interview after the debate. “My leadership is expressed by two -digit numbers, therefore, perhaps, I should not change.”

Trump is the only one of the 17 Republican candidates who declared that if he did not receive support from his party, he was ready to nominate as an independent presidential candidate. Trump did not promise any of the colleagues of the Partians in the election. According to the NBC survey, 54% of its supporters stated that they would vote for Trump, even if he did not receive the official nomination of the Republicans and will advance contrary to the will of the party leadership.

And about Russia

During the first television, they spoke very little about Russia, which was slightly surprised. Still, after Crimea, American politicians, starting with the president, stably call Russia in the top three of the main threats facing America. But once again it was confirmed that the American political event, the press and voters of Iran are much more interested in. The recent nuclear deal with Tehran was together by all republican candidates.

A rare consensus - in a negative attitude towards the Russian leader, is perhaps all the candidates in general: both democrats and republicans.

Therefore, there were no intrigues in this matter on the debate. The first question about Russia was addressed to Trump. He was asked, if he were president, how would he react to a trip to Moscow (in violation of the sanctions of the UN Security Council) of Iranian General Suleimani, who is suspected of involvement in the death of hundreds of American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Trump left a direct answer, but criticized Obama’s foreign policy: "I would call him incompetent, but it will be rude."

Ted Cruz, who accused Moscow and Beijing under the jurisdiction of the cyberwoman against America, spoke about Russia. At the same time noting that the foreign policy of Obama and Hillary Clinton - a common, failure, will lead the country to a disaster.

Governor of Wisconsin Scott Walker said that the United States should send weapons to Ukraine, send NATO troops to the eastern borders of the Alliance, that is, to Russian borders. Walker promises to arrange elements of American PRO in Poland and the Czech Republic.

Ex-surgeon Ben Karson (the only candidate of the Afro-American) called Ukraine an example of how America does not fulfill its promises for friends. We are talking about the Budapest memorandum.

In general, there was no news here. But Trump's position in Russia is still special. The billionaire in an interview declares to voters: I know how to agree with Putin, Putin will hear me. The CNN correspondent asked Trump about Crimea and heard in response: this is "more than the problem of Europe than ours." “Europeans complain less about this than we are. But they ask for our help, but they themselves do not provide it. After all, they receive gas and oil from Russia, ”Trump said. - Why will Germany not become a leader here? Why should everyone do the United States, why are we acting as a world policy? ”

It turns out that Trump today is the only hope of the Kremlin to agree with America somehow “informally”.

As the publicist Andrei Piontkovsky noted in an interview with the Russian Voice Service, "our experts in American political life have only to grab this clown Trump, who stated that he would find a common language with Putin."

Piontkovsky sees the similarity between Trump and those whom Moscow is politically and financially supported in Europe: “The Trump project is a typical project of a leader in its intellectual, political profile like those that Moscow adores in Europe. She collects all such marginals throughout Europe, this is a fairly large company. I will not even be surprised if they are interested in Moscow. But they are so divorced from the American political culture that they do not understand that Trump has no chance, he will not be allowed anywhere by the foreign policy. ”

Most American experts were also sure that Donald Trump’s chief Buzoter could not maintain his popularity when the voter begins to seriously think about the choice of 2016. After the first television, confidence was diminished. "Who will stop Trump?" - Political scientists ask. And they answer: perhaps only he himself. For example, after reporting to America, what is his program of action. Until now, its meaningful, specific details are unknown. Trump takes only pressure, scandal and criticism. So far, this is enough, especially against the backdrop of the amorphousness of the rest of the candidates.
