Washington political paper, The Hill cites Jeb Bush claiming, “He’s not serious, and he’s jeopardizing our ability to create a strategy to take out ISIS.”

This short article by The Hill is worth a read.

For me though, Trump is a showman and not a serious politician – whilst he’s managing to influence popular opinion, his political skills remain untested. Trump has three options: win the Republican presidential ticket; go independent; or resign from the race – time will tell.

Thoughts?

Personally, being a passionate environmentalist, I am wary of the arguments in favor of fracking. I am particularly concerned about downside risks, like polution of drinking water.

 

Let me turn this to an open question:

 

Why should some country’s like France and  states like New York ban fracking, whilst others like the UK are encouraging it?

 

Any thoughts?
