I think the CAMPAIGN isn't so great, but the man would be one of our greatest presidents. I can go into a long winded discussion why i think so, but i'm sure you're all sick of me already, so i'll end it there.

A horrible candidate and a horrible human being.
Great summary!

Not only is his campaign one of the worst, he would undoubtedly be one of the worst presidents in history. Hillary may not be a great campaigner, but she has shown herself to be a good politician who works very well with people across the aisle. I have no confidence at all that Trump would be able to work with his political opponents.

In my view new generations of Americans lack common sense. If you want to be perceived as the best candidate ever, you must have the news media on your side. If you don't, you will be the worst candidate.

See...if you have a hold to the media, from FaceBook to all the media outlets out there, you can easily persuade those who are uninformed to believe anything you say. You can even have history re-written to make you look good.

It's all a show with smoke and mirrors, and we are too stupid to think clearly. Old farts like me can clearly see the changes the US has gone through for decades now, and it does not look pretty. Do I sound pessimistic? You bet I do.

Damn. Think of all the bandwidth we're all going to save, now that we know that nobody has any business discussing history on the internet!

Across the aisle? Hell, he can't even work with people on his side of the aisle. He'd spend his entire Presidency suing every politician in Washington who dared to disagree with him about anything.

Be honest with this assessment. Is Trump really the worst or his Hillary beyond awful, that Trump is the only alternative? If Hillary is really THAT good, she would crush Trump. Period.

Many can hate Trump. Its quite a strong signal that Trump beat out 17+ other Republicans to win the primary. The public has spoken.

Some folks here and everywhere else forget that Trump is not a politician. They are comparing him to politicians, and that's the first mistake made.

That is true. I won't argue that. Trump boast about his business acumen. So its fair to bring up his business practices &.ethics like Trump University.

Trump is far from perfect. He will be far from perfect if he is president. Personally i think he will be adequate as POTUS. Given Hillary's experience as she pointed a zillion times, we should have an idea what she will bring to the table.. good and bad.
