The never-ending POTUS Election thread....

[dbair1967]

Of course they are... But I'm not the one who implied that Trump was a great business man, "cuz he has all teh moneys."

He made his money in the business world did he not? He owns and runs the company does he not?

Trump could be a good candidate for all the reasons people like him -- pro business, understands taxes, not an entrenched politician, etc.

But why does he have to make these occasional outrageous comments that make him look like a complete ass, like about this Hispanic judge? Isn't that frustrating to you Trump fans? Don't you think if he'd just tone those down he'd have a much better chance of winning?

His mouth gets him in trouble from time to time, but it doesn't bother me . If that is his worst flaw, he is head and shoulders above any republican candidate since Reagan. Some of the same things said about Trump reminds me of the attacks that was made on Reagan actually. I feel like Trump's huge ego will help him instead of hurt him. Trump will not allow himself to fail. He will not let it happen. His ego won't allow it.

We have had a damn community organizer as president for the last two terms and you guys actually want to question Trump's accomplishments and qualifications? Are you kidding me? An international business businessman that has made billions of dollars is being questioned about qualifications when the other candidates are a socialist that has never held a real job in his life and a witch with a long history of corruption and failures that have cost American lives. Not to mention that she has denied any wrong-doing in any failure she has been a part of. This should be an easy choice for anybody with half a brain.

Say you're saying don't question candidates?Just hire the candidate on what they say?
Isn't that how we got Obama?
I'm on the verge of voting for Trump in spite of what I think his shortcomings may or may not be.
Doesn't mean he doesn't need to be scrutinized.

Yep.

All arguments about "so and so doesn't have the experience" are totally out the window from now on. Obumma was the least qualified President in our nations history, he had absolutely no business ever winning (or even being in) that election.

But he's a fucktard commy so the media approves.

Trump went public with the list of judges he would consider for nomination, it was an impressive list.

I'm sure you've done a full vetting of all the judges he would consider for nomination...

I trust him far more than the Kunthag on that without question.

I'm shocked.

 

[peplaw06]

He made his money in the business world did he not? He owns and runs the company does he not?

Actually, he inherited a huge sum of money... Since then he's made a lot of investments and some have panned out and some have failed. So when you ask whether he runs the company, you're going to have to be more specific. He runs some successful companies, and he's run some that were dumpster fires. There's a rather large lawsuit going on now regarding one of his failures.

Some great business man.

You don't have to be an Obama or Hillary supporter to question Trump's qualifications. I don't think Obama was a good president, and I don't think Trump will be either. I also think Hillary would be a nightmare. They're not mutually exclusive opinions, no matter how much you Repub shills want to believe it's one or the other.

The time for questioning was in the primaries... Now the Republican party has begun to play the pipe of "party unity," and the rats are falling in line.

People much smarter than me did, and they liked it

I'm shocked.

I know

I agree, but in his case, his entire life has been scrutinized. He was such a popular celebrity before this election that he has been under a microscope like no other person that has run for office. His wealth and ego has kept his life in the headlines. All of the divorces, any business failure, and any screw ups.

Well that's a good explanation.
Thanks.

Oh, so when you say it was an impressive list, you didn't actually mean you were impressed with the list. You mean you heard from some random people who are probably in his pocket who were impressed (surprise again!), and you bought their opinion...

And really, I don't give a shit what list of "impressive" potential nominees he can come up with. Until he actually, you know, nominates judges I think would uphold the Constitution, then I'm going to be skeptical... mainly because I don't think he has the slightest interest in upholding the Constitution. At this point, there's nothing that he could say that I wouldn't be skeptical of. I don't trust him as far as I can throw him.

Pep, my man, you sound like Glenn Beck.

I hate Glenn Beck.

I still love you, though.

Well shithead, you seemed to question my "vetting" of it, so I offered up that numerous others reviewed his list and the commentary was very positive. But yes, I was impressed with a number of the names on the list.

mainly because I don't think he has the slightest interest in upholding the Constitution. .

And yet you twice voted for the clown that makes a mockery of the constitution (or out and out ignores it) on a daily basis

 

[dbair1967]

This was the list he released. Now he did also qualify that his nominee wouldn't necessarily be one of these, but that these people would be strongly considered along with "people very similar to them"

Top picks include conservative federal and state judges like Steven Colloton of Iowa, Allison Eid of Colorado and Raymond Gruender of Missouri.

Also on the list are: Thomas Hardiman of Pennsylvania, Raymond Kethledge of Michigan, Joan Larsen of Michigan, Thomas Lee of Utah, William Pryor of Alabama, David Stras of Minnesota, Diane Sykes of Wisconsin and Don Willett of Texas.

Pep, my man, you sound like Glenn Beck.

Really? How so?

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Really? How so?

Because you don't trust Trump, I guess?

No shit I question your vetting of them... I question whether you've ever heard of the guys before Trump identified them as potential candidates for nomination. And magically, when he lists them, you fall right in line.

And yet you twice voted for the clown that makes a mockery of the constitution (or out and out ignores it) on a daily basis

Again with this bullshit?

I don't think Obama was a good president, and I don't think Trump will be either. I also think Hillary would be a nightmare.

I've heard of exactly two of those people on that list before your post here. And I work in the profession.

I'm sure random dbair Cowboy homer on DCU has not only heard of all of them before, but knows what their opinions are on the rule of law and Constitutional theory.
