Single digit approval ratings, 98 percent re-election rate.

Our American Politboro has the rubes convinced "the other party" is to blame for everything wrong.

Divide and conquer.

Then let's show them we are smarter then they think and vote in Trump. Both sides would be pissed off. I think the electorate has the sense to do it, but will they?

Showing that you are smart and voting for trump aren't the same thing at all. They are opposites.

I did not say who I'm voting for. Your response says it all.

I wasn't responding to you goober.

Trump can't win, nor should he even be running...

Trump, as well as anyone else has the right to run. Just because he isn't main stream means nothing.

He isn't qualified, not even remotely...

what qualification does he lack?

One of Donald Trump's favorite arguments in favor of Donald Trump is that his business successes make him perfectly suited for the Oval Office.

He brags about his net worth, his negotiating skills and his contacts overseas. But there’s little reason to believe these things would actually help him as president. When it comes to holding the top political job in the country, political experience is far more relevant than money-making experience, whether you've been an entrepreneur or a chief executive.

A president who is impulsive, quick to anger, unpredictable, and more concerned with issues rather than principals will not inspire confidence in dealing with congress, heads of state, or his own staff. Without that confidence, a president is domed to failure.

That's nice.

He only built a succesful company into $10Bil net worth..........yeah that nothing. We need to keep those who have NEVER had a job in charge of $4T revenue. Never hired/fired/payrolled. That seems logical.

what qualification does he lack?

AND....., what qualification does he need?

Kinda interesting when one considers one of the bigger hits on GWB was that he failed as a businessman. Sure is hard to figure out what the left thinks is important. Can't be business record cause even you must admit Obama had none. Maybe it has to do with making money, cause we know that the community organizer did well and Clinton, a cash cow.

The fact that Shrub was given everything and still failed is what mattered. A turnip plant should have been able to succeed with all the money and his family's connections that he was given.

What qualification does he lack for the presidency?

Essentially Trump lacks all qualifications that we should expect in a president.

Trump would be one of the least experience people every to come to the presidency. His comments about the 14th amendment, constitutional rights, the founding of the country, duties of the president, and congress indicate he has never studied the political foundations of this country. The man seriously needs a tutor.

The Presidency is the top political position in the country. A man that has never successful ran and held any political office, a man that has gone out of his way to avoided community service, a man who has run from all military service when his country was at war, a man with strong issues but lacks any political principals is not qualified to become political leader of this country.

So what about his academic career? Maybe we will can find some indication of his exceptional qualities. Unfortunately, Trump refuses to release his transcripts. However, from all public accounts his accomplishments, seem mediocre at best. His fellow students have no recollection of him, no courses in political science, law, foreign policy, history, no Dean's List, no Honor Roll, and no notable extra-curricular accomplishments. A completely unmemorable academic existence, including continuing rumors that his grades were unimpressive. This certainly doesn't support his contention, "That I am really a smart guy?." nor his claims of the stupidity of most leaders in government.

So what are Trump's real qualifications. Following his college career in which he successful dodged the draft with 4 deferments, he graduated with a net worth of $200,000 (1.1 million in today's dollars). He began his carrier working for his father developing and managing middle class resident housing, primarily apartment complexes which were financed mostly by his father and the bank.

Trump branched out to other developments including casinos, resorts, golf courses, and upscale condominiums. He relied far less on his own money than that of investors and creditors. He was truly skilled salesman using terms very similar to his campaign, You're going to love it. It's the best..One of his favorite slogans with investors and creators was, I'll make the this property great. Trust me, it's going to be fast and easy...

Some of his ventures paid off but others failed badly due to over expansion. Trump lead four of his largest projects into bankruptcy. His creditors and investors lost their shirt, but Trump came out unscathed. Some attribute this to Trump negotiating skills and contractual protections, other to bribery. At any rate Trump lead these businesses into bankruptcy while destroyed creditors and investors and protecting his fortune.

Then we might consider Trump's deep character, his deeply held religious beliefs that he practices in his daily life, always ready to turn the other cheek, never to judge a man least he be judged, slow to anger and fast to forgive.

However, I think Trump is be judged by a different of rues.

Will not let laws, courts, or congress stop him 40 points

I have this notion there is going to be one hell of a backlash come November.

And I don't think Uncle Bernie has an invitation.

NAVY BALLISTIC missile submarines have a blue crew and a gold crew, or at least they did. The two crews would rotated ever 3 months. We always said there were three crews. the Gold, Blue and the other crew. the other crew didn't get anything right.

why, when asked, does 95% of everyone agree that our elected officials are on the take from lobbies, PACs or involved in some sort of underhanded activities which are likely to enrich them. They vote to give themselves benifits and perks we can only dream of and pass laws that perpetuate and condone this behavior .

Why then, tell me, do the sheep in this country even argue who is the best among this lot?

Are the Americam people afraid, for once, to take the road less traveled?.....or are we destine to remain our own worst enemy's?

In a rigged two-party system, you have to pick the best of the worst.

And it's not who should be elected, it's who can you get elected and the elections are now open to the highest bidder.

*snip meme*

I just want to point out that if that were true, jeb would be the GOP nominee.

I believe Jeb was the golden boy of Wall Street.

he also had more money in his war chest than anyone else should have been able to compete with.

You really meant Mrs. Tuluza Clinton has too much.

 

[candycorn]

Decrying that the government is "on the take" and thinking that hiring one of the guys supplying the "take" will change anything is silly IMHO.

There is soemthing to be said for taking the road less traveled I suppose. I'm not sure why there are those who hate the current road so much. Things are really not so bad in the nation relative to the other developed nations in the world. Would you swap places with the average Chinese person or the average European?

I wouldn't.
