Peru president: 'We will cut off US ties if Trump wins'
22 June 2016 at 6:15am

Peru's president-elect said on Tuesday that his government would sever ties with the US if Donald Trump wins the US presidential election.

Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, a 77-year-old former investment banker, said amid laughter "we're going to grab a saw and cut them [relations] off".

Mr Kuczynski explained that the topic came up during a congratulatory phone call with US President Barack Obama.

Presumptive Republican nominee in the race to succeed Obama, Trump has sparked criticism across Latin America for his anti-immigrant rhetoric, especially in Mexico where President Enrique Pena Nieto has compared his campaign to the rise of Adolf Hitler.

4. It would be most useful to Democrats in about three months.

I think that if it occurs sooner, it might spark more "replace Trump" efforts.

5. replacing trump only removes his voters from the Nov election

They can do it of they like, but then dont bitch about the result.
They're stuck with Don!!
When he loses big, the "establishment" can point their fingers at the idiot "base" and say "well, you finally got the candidate you wanted and he got destroyed. So shut the hell up"

6. More nations need to speak out . I would think very few countries would want another Hitler rising

to power. Although there are a few that would welcome his rise.
