The 2016 Presidential Election Trainwreck

[Topper]

How in the hell is Trump more qualified to be president than Hillary???

Wait, I take that back. I don't need to hear why. It was a rhetorical question.



Ouch.

He has a few fewer negatives than Hillary.

Experience is either positive, neutral or negative.

Public position? Yes, but that alone is not a positive. Did the person succeed in that position? Or that person fail miserably?

Hillary had two positions and failed. So her experience is actually a negative, not neutral or a positive.

Trump has held none, so it is neutral.

Thus, Trump is woefully unqualified, but in terms of qualifications and character, his better than Hillary who sinks to the bottom.

Different things scare different people. Hillary saying she will be Obama's third term scares me more than anything Donald says, but I can see how the French and differing good Americans like the way Obama does and Hillary would do things. Just not for me.

One fun thing is, if the GOP holds court in the Senate, questionable, and in the House, we could have another impeachment trial. It will be fun learning about the arcane Constitutional aspects of those procedures. So there is an upside. Both Clintons can entertain impeachments. But Hillary lacks the charm to slide by.

Don't forget Trump has no problem with money... Hillary said she had problems making ends after Bill lost his job:

"We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt," Clinton told Sawyer, referring to the hefty legal fees incurred during their White House years. "We had no money when we got there, and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for Chelsea's education. You know, it was not easy."

But not in a good way.

Of course.

Your response is essentially: "He just says stupid stuff to get attention" and "His stuff is so crazy it will never get implemented". Come on, that's a total copout.

You are clearly not reading my posts. I admit they are too long. I wouldn't read them either. But that is not all I said. Moreover, we are comparing him to Hillary. I conceded that Trump would be a disaster as a president. I cringe at the very thought. But I would still prefer his schtick to HIllary's malice. I have told you why. Many times. You disagree. OK, that happens. But if you are trying to persuade me, your approach is going to need more substance than claiming I copped out.

You seem to be echoing President Nixon's famous statement that mediocre people need representation on the Supreme Court as well.

A statement so famous, in fact, that Nixon never said it.

Yeah, but she's in the six figures, right? I mean she's gotta be doing pretty good.

I'm with the Dude on this one. Hillary isn't in the same category as the other 3. I could vote for her.

My number one choice of those in the race is Kasich.

Because of the creep factor, Cruz reminded me of a kids show character that I couldn't stand when my kids watched. I didn't know the show name or character but looked a bit online and was able to find it.

Ted Cruz is Rotten Robbie.

Trump the financial genius, just gave us this:



That would be an unmitigated disaster.

Who could build them at the rates the Chinese charge? -- I mean other than the 12 Million Mexican Rapists he means to deport immediately. I guess regular white folks could build them and the price of the iphone could just go up to $2,000.00 per unit.

[Commando]

Agreed. And Bill had charm for some people, whereas Hillary has less charm than a three week old supply of liverwurst. Hillary is dangerous because she does not believe the rules apply to her, dishonest to her core and vicious. I remember reading one of the comments from her aid after the Benghazi hearings, "Hillary is making a list of whom to destroy." She is malicious without good judgment.

Yuck!

Question for your Hillary = Satan folks:

1. Do you think the Bill Clinton presidency was a worse-than-trump disaster? If so, why?

2. Do you think Hillary would be radically different from Bill as president? If so, why?

LOL!

So because they are married that means she'll govern like her husband? Weird logic.

If you campaign for Hillary as JL is wont to, you have to stretch for something. That's why you see Bill trotted out at every opportunity. Fans of Bill seem to like him, and with age, they have forgotten his shortcomings. Thus, they want Hillary to be the Second Coming of Bill. Not in a long time would she be that, but Bill's fans hope for that.

Not necessarily. But married couples generally tend to have roughly similar political inclinations, background, philosophy, etc. Bill was a fairly decent, relatively centrist president. Just curious why folks think she would not only be worse, but crazier-than-Trump worse. You have an opinion on that?

Is there one post here that says she would be "crazier" than Trump? At this point you must be intentionally avoiding the discussion.

I can't speak for your wife, but my wife is completely independent from me politically. For most of our marriage we haven't even been in the same party. Moreover, no one, as far as I recall, said she would be bad because Bill was bad, instead I and others have said she is a poor choice for president based on her own merits. She has earned our opprobrium all by herself.
