He groped young women is putting it mildly.
Clinton or Bush senior?
That's a ridiculous thing to say. Russia was never, is never looking for a nuclear war. They don't want to give up their luxury yachts and apartments in Monaco for the sake of Syria but they absolutely are always looking for weak foreign policy from western nations and Obama did nothing regarding Crimea and folded like a broken paste table over Syria despite escalating the situation there previously. He also failed to support Ukraine (something Trump actually did), supported the Saudis in Yemen (which is now bitting everyone) and caused a completely unnecessary situation in Libya which has given much support to a previously flagging ISIS.
You made the point that Obama brought things back after Bush's warmongering.Who said Russia was looking for a nuclear war? I never said they were looking for one but I don't dismiss the possibility of one happening if things escalate quickly due to miscalculation. The risk may be not be high but it's still there. Presidents can't afford to look weak otherwise they're toast. Anyway, just to get things back on track. It's not all about military action and I never claimed Clinton and Obama were perfect and didn't make any mistakes. I said I thought they were better Presidents than Bush snr George W Bush. Here is a consolidated historian rankings list on wiki which happens to be aligned with my view.

I accept that comparing Presidents isn't easy given they operated in different eras with different threats and challenges. If I break it down to back to back Presidencies I believe that Clinton was a better President than Bush snr and that Obama was better than George W who IMO was by far the worst of the four. We'll never know how for example Bush jnr would have responded to Syria and Crimea. He was quite pally with Putin so maybe he would have told him to fill his boots given there was no oil or lucrative contracts up for grabs like there was in Iraq. Maybe the consequences would have been greater. We'll never know. What I do know is that Iraq was a war of choice and the biggest blemish on any President in my lifetime. A massive false flag operation that cost many innocent lives just to enable a shameless oil and lucrative contract grab for Bush and Cheney. I'm always open to persuasion but nothing I've read in the last couple of pages has changed my view so happy to agree to disagree.
I think it's a bit of a stretch to say Trump gave support to Ukraine. It happened on his watch but I remember at the time the impression I got was very much that people were twisting his arm as much as they dared behind the scenes on that and all things involving Russia.
i understand how the electoral college works (as much as the average person), wasn;t saying the popular vote should overrule it....was just in reference to the idea that she wasn't unpopular (hence quoting that comment), it seems she was as popular as any other presidential candidate in recent history...and more popular than several
She was more "popular" than Trump in that election but both still got votes under 50%. So
Ukraine asked for Javelin, Obama refused Trump gave. Ukraine asked for Stinger, Obama refused Trump gave.
I don't argue it was the right decision, I'm saying I don't think trump did it because he wanted to. The immersion I have is trump wants to throw Ukraine under the bus and this time he will.
I think its fair to say considering the campaign Labour want to rollback on this one. But as they've unequivocally said not right now its gonna 2-3 years down the line. Possibly even 5 remove it right the next GE.Labour suspends seven rebel MPs over two-child benefit cap
