As a non-USian, I can say that today we non-USians have a serious
interest in US politics -- as never before!

Okay, I guess I owe everyone an apology. It was late last night here
(UK) when I posted that light-hearted comment: it didn't occur to me
(though perhaps it should have) that it would start another long OT
about OT. (I have the impression that almost all long threads here are
OT, which perhaps says something about this community -- maybe even
something good).
Still, I agree that this is not the forum for it, and I do apologize for
deflecting us down that road.
