Republicans - Donald Trump

1/26/2016

Trump has clearly tapped a rich vein of discontent. Like everyone else, I underestimated his political appeal. However, I feel he is a horrible choice for president. Where to begin! He has no political experience. Obviously he has been successful in business primarily through self-promotion. However, business and government are quite different. Their aims are totally dissimilar. He can take a “my way or the highway” approach with employees but that would be a total failure in dealing with Congress, the bureaucracy and foreign governments.
He has no hesitation in tapping into hate for political gain. Immigration is certainly a topic in which many views are legitimate. He is the only one willing to stir up animosity against Hispanics and Muslims by attacking them personally.
Far more important is his demeanor. If he doesn’t have the biggest ego in the country, I’d hate to meet the person who does. His expression is a constant scowl and his response to most questions is to insult someone. I have often criticized President Obama for exceeding his constitutional authority but I believe Trump would show even less discretion. He clearly is not someone who should be given nuclear launch codes.

    Hi! My name is Dave. I'm in my 60s and live in Indiana. I'll write about whatever is on my mind but most posts will be political. I'm a centrist who thinks both sides are on the wrong path.

At long last this idiotic shutdown is over. Hopefully cooler heads prevail and it doesn’t start up again.

The real story is that 800,000 government workers are back on the job and many millions of people are no longer inconvenienced.

Unfortunately, that is not the story we are hearing in the media. Their story is about how Speaker Pelosi beat President Trump. He got himself into this mess. She decided that all that mattered was winning. The harm done to the people involved was of no concern whatsoever. A good leader puts the good of the people over political gamesmanship,

it would be nice to think that both people have learned their lesson and will try to do what is best for the
country. I sure wouldn’t bet on it.
