   Nothing can so alienate a voter from the political system as backing a winning candidate.

2. John Kilduff:

   The bandwagon trade just two months ago was that we will hit $ 60, but now $ 35 is looking like more of a reality, we're in a vicious cycle, with no sign of this glut in oil products disappearing anytime soon, while any cutback by refiners is backing up crude into the system.

But if we get a (Sino-U.S. trade deal) we could see confidence coming back.

4. Host Committee:

   Negative publicity around our potential nominee resulted in a considerable number of pledges backing out from their commitments.

5. Adib Shishakly:

   You cannot send a U.N. envoy without political backing of the big players in the U.N. Security Council. De Mistura does not have the tools.
