The man offered no leadership and brought no real world experience to the job.

BTW, wasn't Mark Cuban (a TX Billionaire) 100% supporting of Hillary?
How was Obama destructive? What specifically did he destroy?

Right? It's like half billionaire moguls and half military. That McMahon WWE woman is horrendous, the EPA appointment is suing the EPA (how is that not a conflict of interest?) and Carson lived in public housing so he's qualified.

Welcome to the new oligarchy! Also nepotism galore.

So much for the "he surrounds himself with great people" meme.

Nothing. He cleaned up after Bush/Cheney destroyed the economy and Mideast.

I would rather have rich people that aren't beholden to foreign governments like a certain withered old candidate we know.

Would it be better to to have some homeless people doing these jobs?

I don't give a damn how much money they have, which only proves they are successful people. I care only that they are the brightest, most qualified people for the position for which they are being appointed, and that I believe is what they are.

Clearly, Obama didn't have the best and the brightest: Hillary Clinton -> John Kerry. Eric Holder -> Loretta Lynch. He replaced some highly qualified and knowledgeable people in the Pentagon with politically correct lackeys who took all the information on Islam and Islamists out of training manuals and replaced it with politically correct, liberal gobbledygook. Chaplains were replaced with Muslim sympathizers too, who were muzzled and not allowed to speak about Christ or Christianity.

Everything Obama did was based on promoting "diversity" first, and not offending Muslims. National Security was given a back seat.

All I see here is there will be a widening between the have and the have nots. A Trump presidency is going to answer the question does trickle down economics work.

So you either have to vote for the economic establishment that has screwed over the workers for the past 40 years, or you have to have homeless people in charge? What kind of silly argument is that? Is it a Fox News argument?

So you dont mind the economic establishment at all then. All the talk about special interests, lobbyists, big money donors destroying the working class was just empty rhetoric and not even voters like you support candidates beholden to the people. You want the big money donors, special interests and lobbyists holding your hands as they get more bailouts, no-bid government contracts, wars and huge tax breaks as they steamroll over the 99%, serving their own interests and not yours.

The question has been answered and exactly how much longer than 40 years do people need to get it?

With Trump's picks we are seeing the closest thing to a plutocracy of wealthy crony capitalists that we have ever seen in the US. We will be ruled by the rich. We'll see how it goes.
