Quote:No, it wasn't Trump's mistake, it was the voters' mistake.  When you elect a non-politician to a political office that demands real political skill, that is a huge mistake.   We elected a person who is not interested in politics or policy.   It's like saying "I'm tired of doctors; the next time I need an operation, I'm going to let my next door neighbor do it."  Or, "I'm sick of lawyers.  Next time I'm in court, I'm going to represent myself." 

 

The Presidency is a political office.   To run it effectively, you need to be a politician.  

 

He didn't know enough about the health care bill to sell it.   He isn't skilled enough at politics to round up a majority.   He's incompetent. 

 

Whatever you want to say about Obama, at least he took the time and effort and had the political skill to get his health care program through congress.   Trump?   He took a couple of weeks, didn't know any of the details in the bill, didn't get any important interest groups on board, in therefore, he failed.  

 

It's incompetence leading to failure.
