Considering how most of what I've heard recently about the UK involves ya'll attempting to pass crazier laws then we are, are you sure you'd last long enough to attempt that?
Yeah, it took actual effort for our beloved NC legislature to come up with something crazier! What is the world coming to?!

Sometimes we all must make sacrifices for the whole humanity and God-Emperor. He has to take over the world by himself, after all. ::)

Plus, trump wouldn't have a sword, he's not interesting enough to be a sword sort of emperor. He'd have some sort of lame golden gun instead. Or one that fires gold ingots.
You called?

The UK parliament suffers from 1) Cronieism, 2) David Cameron 3) the lib dems 4) Germy Corbyn, 5) Labour Party, 6) incompetence, 7) Lack of common sense 8) The Tories, 9)Commitees, 8) Paedophile rings. 9) That labour MP woman who looks just like the Prime Minister from doctor who. 10)A refusal to correct blatant mistakes and a willingness to plow along bloody mindedly.

So, I think that SHIELD is the Republican Party here. Fitting me better than option B, then being generally impotent and useless (occasionally actively harmful) before being completely taken over by crazies?

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Ah, but like the mythical phoenix, SHIELD was reborn from its own ashes, in secrecy. But you're saying HYDRA has revealed itself in the Republican party now? Who does that make Trump and Cruz?

Are you talking about superhero comics? I believe SHIELD is an organization in one of those, forget which one though.

Yeah. Someone mentioned the upcoming Civil War movie with reference to I guess trump being captain america or something actually now that I think about it I'm not totally sure what the connect there is other then the words 'civil war' but whatever.

I'd say at this point Shield makes a pretty good stand in for the US government as a whole, or whatever party. If you have a favorite politician you can even call them agent coulson's shield. Perfect metaphor.

(For those of you who don't know Shield was an agency in charge of... Well, handling super hero bullshit. But it turned out to largely be a front for a fascist evil organization hydra, and eventually the whole thing was dismantled, except for a few splinter groups of actually good guys.)

Trump is Captain America, he's going to bring ruin to everything and trigger the rebuilding of SHIELD arc. I'm not positive who Cruz is as of yet.

EDIT:
Judging from the narrative pattern, we can make a reasonable prediction that will tell us who will be the nominee.

Contested convention-> Lindsey Graham.

He's the, uh, guy who always wears a gasmask?

No wait, I think that was COBRA.

I think that we could swing it on the basis of outsiderness.
