He is extremely insecure. We might be able to accept that if that's all there was, but he's also mentally ill, has delusional thoughts, an extremely thin skin and can't take criticism. He is in the most criticized job in the world. He's not going to make it for four years. Nor will we.

I'm personally sick of polished politicians who continue the policies that are knocking down the US block by block.

Hitler was a very good public speaker. It's not how I judge leadership.
Facts and data matter - and when you base policy on untrue facts/data, you make bad policy.

This is rather obvious, is it not?

A very easy example to illustrate this problem...misspeaking that the crime rate is the highest it's been in 45/47 years (he's "misspoke" on this MANY times now...) is a big deal because you would create a very different policy to that fact as you would to the reality (That the uptick in crime is the highest it's been in ~40 years, but that crime is still CONSIDERABLY lower than it has been for many decades...still below where it was even a few years ago).

One statistic makes you think "holy HELL! This country is going into the CRAPPER!"...

whereas the other statistic says "ok - maybe we need to pay attention to this...but we are still doing GREAT historically".


FACTS MATTER! I don't understand why this is such a confrontational thing to say.


Garbage in, Garbage out - every computer programmer understand this concept. One would think the President would understand this, too.

People hear this and think of the teacher in the Charlie Brown comics.

But, we were real close to having a person with more mental illness being in the WH.

If he goes, we end up with Pence. My feelings won't be hurt.

Very good point. They will exploit his psychological weaknesses even more now that they have seen this meltdown....which The Donald will deny...which gives rise to even more ways the Russians (which Donald has "treated really, really firmly") will take advantage of him.


Throw in the film of The Donald rolling around a Russian hotel with some operative who peed on the bed while he got off and the Russians can roll over him like a freight train. He's toast if he so much as raises a finger to Putin, and even The Donald can figure that out.

Why feel bad for her? She's bought and paid for. She probably spends more on her hair than a family spends on a years worth of food.

Nope, not sorry for her at all.

Cruz wouldn't have made it.

Fact, between 10 and 20 million illegals living in the US.

Fact, nearly a $400 billion trade deficit.

Fact, nearly a $20 trillion debt.

The status quo was failing us.
