@engineer,
Quote:. The problem is that his positions are pretty much ludicrous. His tax plan explodes the deficit and his immigration plan consists of building a wall.
He will not be king, and he will still arrive to a Washington that is almost completely broken thus unable to make major moves, and the nation is still deeply divided ...a almost no one is willing to work together to get things done. I dont think you need worry that Trumps ideas happen at any time in the foreseeable future, so why are you worried about Trumps ideas?
Quote:I question some of his personality traits as well. He thinks debate means hurling insults at his opponents and the moderators and he thinks the President was born in Kenya.
If what you are doing is not working then do something else, anything else. And I think Trump would be perfect for Washington right now, he is brilliant, he works will with others, he hires people for their talents, he can separate fantasy from reality, he can prioritize, and he is difficult to corrupt.
Quote: In Trump's case I think he just doesn't have a broad enough background
He works all over the world with all kinds of people, he has his HQ in a very liberal big city with huge egos and with big government lovers, he has his HQ in a state that is very divided and corrupt politically...and he has made a go of it for a very long time. What more relevant experience could you want with Washington as it is?
Quote:and if I'm honest, I don't think he is very smart.)
And you say it that way because someplace in your head you know you are wrong. The guy is intellectually brilliant, he will be the smartest person in the chair since Clinton, and he knows how America works and does not work, and he is a great tactician, and he can read people like nobodies business, and he know when and how to delegate, and he knows how to run an operation, and he knows how to b frugal (look at how little he is spending to win the campaign!) and on and on. There are legit reasons to say that you dont want Trump, but that he is not smart is not one of them.
