I prefer mine to have four decades of experience and mastery of the facts, policies and international trends one needs to know to lead the most powerful nation on earth. Reality tv star and failed real estate developer may sound like a good resume for president to the average know nothing, but not to the rest of us.

OK. I'll step up to the plate and take that challenge but with the caveat that I am not a Trump "follower". I arrived in his camp by default because the candidate I wanted to vote for did not enter the race and the others I accepted in his place all fell out in the primaries.

Here goes.......With Trump what you see is what you get--a brash, boorish, aggressive, loud mouthed, over-confident, ego- and testosterone-driven alpha male. He is a flawed human being with a history that has some bad chapters in it. He likes beautiful women and likes being around them. With his money and reasonable good looks (when he was much younger) women were probably throwing themselves at him. He may well have accepted some of what they were throwing at him, too. He says things he shouldn't and doesn't have much of a filter before shooting off his mouth. He is very much the New Yorker and has what I consider to be a typical New York personality--magnified exponentially. (Not criticizing New Yorkers and no offense is intended to anyone. Just calling it like I see it.) He was once a Democrat (or at least thought to be) but in New York it is expedient to be a Democrat. He drives a hard deal and has had both successes and failures in life. Some of those he has done business with speak poorly of him. He rubs a lot of people the wrong way but he doesn't give a hoot or a holler about that. With his money and personality he just blows it off.

Is that enough?

I won't even get started on the faults of the Clintons as comparison because I don't have that many years of life left to me to cover all of them.

It was not a racist comment. I'm white, I can say whatever the **** I want about uneducated white trash. That does not make me racist against my own race.

Negative. Hillary is winning college and graduate educated voters. In fact, the level of eduction you have is inversely correlated with supporting the orange maniac.

Wow, the hate rhetoric out of this self-professed "we are the accepting one's" on the liberal/dem side is truly amazing. I thought this was a joke at first but it's all over the media now/seems valid. The same crew who are the first to cast everyone else as intolerant, generalizing, racist, etc. and look at this intolerant display of generalizing.

Hypocrite | Define Hypocrite at Dictionary.com

Hypocrite:

"a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs."


But apparently this intolerant crew are really showing once again their true intolerant side/deep hate for a large group of voters and generalizing once again. Good way to bring the country together dems/libs, by first using deplorable than rednecks. oops, sorry they'll probably say....sure you are.

A clinton calling others "rednecks".....besides the beyond stupid/generalizing term to call supporters of another candidate, it's a beyond stupid politically to insult the core supporters of any candidate.

And trump is the intolerant one/hateful one. Look in the mirror dems/libs/hil supporters......you're no better supporting this side than who you whine about so much in trump as being intolerant/generalizing. Glass houses/stones time once again seems to be a theme with this side.
Bill Clinton shocked the world with his adulterous affair in office. He has no place to judge anyone else.

Trump would at least try to lead. All his wife does is take up space, spend other people's money, and fail at nearly everything she has tried.

You know how blacks can call each other "ni***a" because it is a term of endearment among each other? And white people be like, "Hey, I want to call them ni**er", too!! No fair!!"

It's kinda like that.

Minorities don't want equality. They want special privileges.

Like defends like.

More hypocrisy at it's clearest, all in one post.

It's NOT hypocrisy, It's Principle. I know you are not familiar with Principles, but follow along.

I will absolutely DEFEND your right to lie and spin. I will gladly let you exercise your right to be stupid and dumb.

But I will also, at the same time, exercise my right to expose your stupid ideas and to pole holes in your logic.

This is OT hypocrisy, it's NOT EVEN in the ballpark of hypocrisy; using facts to defeat lies is one of the PRINCIPLE Of liberals. It's part of the First Amendment, and it only seems like hypocrisy to you because you apparently is not a fan of other people exercising their freedom of speech.

Direct quote from Bill Clinton:

Don't disturb these folks with truth and reality. It upsets them.
