Quote:Trump was never my pick for the presidency, so I don't feel compelled to defend him on any level.


What qualifications did Obama have to be president besides being a natural born citizen over the age of 35? And what achievements has Clinton had that really qualify her to be the chief executive of anything, let alone the United States of America? Her time in the Senate was lacking of any real legislation being proposed beyond renaming a couple of post offices. Her tenure as Secretary of State was underwhelming at best, and potentially created a more dangerous environment with hot spots around the globe. All the while, she was lining her pockets by selling access through her family slush fund, the Clinton Foundation.


The one area where Trump actually has the upper hand over Clinton is that he has actually run something. His business acumen is certainly loaded with questionable stuff, but he does know how to surround himself with people who are more than competent to do the jobs they're tasked with. There are certain issues where I think Trump is right, and many where I totally disagree with his views. For me, in order for him to get my vote, I have to make the decision as to how much value I place on those issues where I agree with him. There are some pretty big issues where I don't.


We are faced with two very flawed candidates. Neither is really deserving of the office, but that's all we've got. A vote for Trump puts a stake in the heart of the perpetuation of the Clinton crime syndicate, and a vote for Clinton almost guarantees a 1 term presidency for Trump. I'm not thrilled about that choice, but we've got to end this dynastic entitlement mentality of families like the Clintons and Bushes.

So you admit he isn't your first choice. Hillary isn't mine either. Does it make me dumb to feel she is infinitely a better candidate despite this?


Interesting you bring up Obama. The right wing media is praising Trump for the EXACT same things they bashed Obama over. As for his qualifications. Obama understood law and government in far greater detail than Trump does. He also was not a belligerent and obnoxious sociopath.


Secretary of State is a huge feather in Hillary's cap. Was she the greatest SoS? I think she did more than Condi. Plus she was a Senator. She understands government and more importantly how the game is played on the Hill. Trump is a bully who thinks he can strongarm anyone and everyone into doing what he wants. How can he ever resolve anything diplomatically with that attitude? Does Hillary have blemishes? Absolutely. We agree these are two flawed candidates.


As for Trump running things. Yeah. Long list. Plenty of failures, lawsuits and bankruptcies. But he ran them? Steaks. Vodka. Scam University. Crooked development deals. He's been sued by the rich and the poor over violating contracts and lack of payment. He has the self control of a three year old hopped up on sugar. Our greatest allies loathe him. He is the most divisive candidate in US history who has flip flopped on so many issues it's impossible to take him at his word. He even denies things he said yesterday with a hundred cameras rolling. He is a narcissist and a thug. Not remotely presidential in any way. But he ran things. Get the **** outta here. Look at HOW he ran things. A good hard look. And you'll see how hard you're grasping at straws here. Love her or hate her, she is supremely more qualified for the role than he is.
