I think he's seldom been in a situation where he's had to accomplish anything by consensus. Such is the curse of a 'my way or the highway' CEO. That might get you somewhere in a privately held company, but he wouldn't last 10 minutes in a publicly held company where leadership means getting folks of divergent interests on board for a common goal otherwise your title is EX-CEO. By those standards Trump hasn't a clue. Bellicose and hateful are not leadership qualities regardless of what his supporters may wish to believe.
Leads to the question "Would you like actually working for a guy like Trump if he were your boss?" (that's based on whether or not you'd even be able to keep your job based on the entitled attitude I see in many of his supporters, most of them would also be fired)

Sadly, I am at a point where I firmly believe that a majority of Americans are not even interested in seeing the issues in this country get solved.
In your own state of Oregon Bernie Sanders won every single county in the primary didnt he?

Doesnt that show that Oregon knows whats up and is ready to stand up for themselves and the rest of the 99%?

From what I've seen along the campaign trail, Trump takes everything personally and then enacts his vengeance. You say winning, but against and for who? Is it going to be for us or himself? The relationship between congress and POTUS can be contentious, will that consume Trump? This isn't like a business deal that you can walk away from if things don't go well.

ummm. NO. He doesn't have a clue how congress works. And, with the number of republicans who are not going to support him 1. to get elected, and 2. IF he gets elected... he won't be able to get any of his vainglorious ideas put into play. Then, he will try the EO route, but not bother to check with the AG to see if they are even legal, so will probably be facing problems over that. If the dems get a majority, he will be facing constant inquiries. It will make obama's presidency look like a walk in the park.

More like if he thinks you're wrong, which pretty much includes anyone who doesn't think Donny is the bestest ever. Must be coming as quite a shock to him how many he'll need to 'deal' with.

So, Democratic candidates don't want to make America Great Again? Well, Obama sure has taken us in the wrong direction and Clinton would be "Obama by proxy".

Typical Trumpy reply, that's not the point of the conversation. I'm asking if Trump understands he is representing a party, and that his advocates in a partisan congress will be from his party. Despite the failings of Obama, and as a contentious relationship with congress has proven, that when the executive and legislative branch of government cease trying to work together, government is broken. Personally, I don't see Trump as a unifying executive, and what's he doing to ensure republicans hang onto congress?
