Andrew who?

Food for thought:
The Latte Blogger understands that Labour Party leader Andrew Little's "name awareness" as leader is only about 25% among voters.  If so this must be concerning for Labour as some of the 25% will be supporters of other parties, all of which which implies not all Labour supporters know he is leader!

Donald Trump

The US Presidential election promises to be most interesting.
The Latte Blogger sees Trump taking not only red-neck votes not only from the right (Republicans still make the bulk of his support) but also many Democrat supporters who are also worried terrorist threats. His biggest mistake has been appears just to target Muslims (there was a proviso in what he said, that has been long lost in coverage, implying that they must be vetted before coming) well hello, any refugee, whether Muslim or not needs to be vetted and their identity confirmed prior to arriving in the US, or New Zealand for that matter.
Will he end up standing as an independent? Could he win as an independent? Watch this space.
A day or a week can be a long time in politics let alone a year!
