[@Lugubrious] Us outside of the US can't help but be curious about US politics for three reasons:

1. It's broadcast EVERYWHERE.
2. The state of the US tends to dictate geopolitics and the world economy by virtue of its sheer bulk.
3. It's basically reality TV at this point.

It's only natural that plenty of people will start to form opinions based on what's broadcast, which may not hold every candidate in a virtuous light thanks to the broadcasters.

Personally, I have more issues with the structure of the system than the candidates themselves. However, even if I did have an opinion on the candidates, it's not as if I'm a voting citizen of the US. All this gas-bagging that we might do is just that.
