Is Trump the perfect candidate? No way. He especially needs to develop a thicker skin and pick his battles more wisely. But I am sick and tired of the Bush-Clinton-Obama regime. Trump has the best ideas on where the country should be headed.

Draft-dodger Donald Trump once said that the danger he faced from getting sexually transmitted diseases was his own “personal Vietnam.”
In a 1997 interview with shock jock Howard Stern, Trump talked about how he had been “lucky” not to have contracted diseases when he was sleeping around.
“I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world. It is a dangerous world out there. It’s scary, like Vietnam. Sort of like the Vietnam-era,” Trump said in a video that resurfaced Tuesday on Buzzfeed, “It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier.”

However, the guy did raise various points which seem to be valid from a nonpartisan standpoint:
- He has very thin skin
- He doesn't seem to have much of a grasp on the issues, nor the complexities of how to accomplish his stated goals
- He has made a career out of lying, exaggerating, and sometimes screwing people
- He does not act Presidential, and seems incapable of doing so
- Some of his business ventures were very questionable
Keep in mind that I do not agree with the ultimate conclusion of the article (that we must vote for Hillary instead). Also, I have to laugh at the guy for blaming the media for making Trump viable versus Hillary. Wrong. The media helped him win the primary, but the media has done nothing but attack Trump in the past few months, while glossing over many of Hillary's crimes/abuses. Trump is viable versus Hillary because Hillary is beating herself.
Hillary has a whole different set of problems which also make her unfit for office.
But I also can't ignore some of these really glaring issues of The Donald.
These are legitimate concerns I agree and not just "ZOMG Nuclear Codes" and "this guy is literally Hitler" bullshit. If Trump doesn't straighten up a bit he's not gonna win I don't think. But the election is still there for the taking if he focuses on the flat economy and national security while keeping Hillary's feet to the fire on her corruption.Quote:

It can't be denied that Trump has tapped in to a lot of the frustrations of Americans. I personally think he will be OK as President despite his shortcomings. His negatives are not as great as Clinton's massive penchant for corruption and shadiness.
And, as someone who also leans conservative, Trump will most likely put people I like in the Supreme Court.
I agree with your points here about what that attorney said about Trump.Quote:

Also, Joseph Kennedy, Sr., was the king of shady investment pools in the 1920s, which made him especially knowledgable to establish meaningful regulation of the stock market when tapped by FDR to do so during his first term as prez.
The lesson of those examples isn't to judge too harshly a pol who is corrupt merely because they are so. The more meaningful question is whether their corrupt ways are likely to interfere with their ability to meet the expectations of their supporters. And Hillary, as an elected official, did very well in that category as the junior US senator for New York, as well as working for Team Obama as SecState.
Clinton up 8 points.

BTW I'd bet anything he's still sleeping around. He probably makes Clinton look like an amateur, but Trump surely is getting better looking and classier ass, because he can just pay for it directly or indirectly.
Trump owned that fraud Paul Ryan pretty hard today.

I think people need to save their outrage for when Trump actually does outrageous stuff, of which there is plenty. Vietnam draft dodging as a youngster is not outrageous, we've had two presidents and two vice that already did it.
chris christie just threw trump under the bus.

seriously guys, mintjewlip is the michael angelo of grammer.
Looks like the Trump train is getting derailed....very quickly.
Ex-CA GOP Gov candidate Meg Whitman, rejecting Trump to NYT: “I will vote for Hillary, donate to her campaign, try to raise money for her"
His mental health is being questioned now

Imagine being so close to hitting a 150-1 shot and it turns out the guy you bet on is crazy.

I question the mental health of a lot of PFA'rs. glad none of you clowns are running for public office.
Rumors are that the whole Trump staff is starting to question him...including Manafort. Amazing it took them this long to figure out Trump.Quote:

I also love how the GOP holdouts are point blank telling their constituents that anyone who doesnt reject Trump will be forever tainted.
Paul Ryan is stuck in the Donald Trump power play. He's fucked. Where does he go from here? Considering he's likely putting in a bid for the 2020 presidential race.....Quote:

(1) When Obama was debating in 2009 what to so about Afghanistan, Hilldawg sided with the military brass to go Full Surge, while Biden and Amb. Holbrooke advised to send at most a small number of troops, but as a pre-cursor to GTFO-ASAP. Obama initially went with 3/4ths of the military brass suggestion, then later upped to even more. Hilldawg's recommendation in that case was driven by her strongly expressed belief that the US should use its military force to protect women's rights around the world when possible.Quote:

So, we should expect that Hillary will pursue that objective the first chance she gets, which is prolly a contributing factor behind Putin's long-distance love affair with Trump, given how cozy Putin is with Assad.
Real talk...Quote:

LOL such simple logic ignored.
President Obama destroyed Trump today.In one statement he Disqualified Trump, shit on Paul Ryan and the gop, and bated Trump.
So what happens If Trump quits? H.C automatic winner?
She was also hugely ahead in the polls the entire time. I don't think Bernie ever got lower than +300 to win the nomination, and spent most of the spring +500 to +900. It wasn't really as close as people made it out to be.Quote:

Hillary, being in her second election, had a great ground game. At my caucus location, there were 4 times as many Hillary volunteers as Bernie's.
bernie also never really acted presidential, and cracks started showing early when people asked him point blank whether or not he had any interest in participating in a political process constructively that might not reflect his agenda perfectly.
he... did not.
Correct. But none of them insulted the father of a dead US soldier. Mr. Khan said that Trump had never sacrificed anything in his life. Trump, amazingly, replied-Quote:

He has sacrificed for this country, by getting rich off of other people's hard work. For real.
He also 'had sex with a lot of women in the early 70s without getting a venereal disease', which he referred to as 'his own vietnam' on an ep of the howard stern show.

Paul Ryan has to be very careful how he deals with this. Like I said, Paul Ryan is likely running for president in 2020. How he handles this is going to have a direct impact on his chances in 2020.Quote:
