You gave Obamadunce a chance, why not someone with business smarts, and experience in knowing what to do and when to do it.
I agree!!

Obamadunce has destroyed this country in ways I never thought possible. He is beyond a dunce.

We need someone very strong to get us back on track. I am not saying Donald Trump is the best answer, but he is certainly better than the pathetic, idiotic person we have now.

The men you reference were politicians already before becoming President, no?

Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is debatable, but at least they were more of a known quantity as legislators and leaders than someone who has never held an office of any level.

The Donald will not be getting my vote, should he decide to run.

It would be like electing P.T. Barnum as president in the 1880s, except Barnum was a vastly superior businessman.

Obama had more known qualities as a legislator and a leader? Please.. Thats beyond ridiculous..

Kennedy, Eisenhower, Harrison, Grant, Lincoln, even Washington himself had no executive or legslative experience prior to becoming President. They all are considered fabulous presidents by many.

Hmmm."We need a strong man in charge", what does that remind me of? Something to do with making the trains run on time..

I have no idea what you are trying to imply.

That there's a chilling historical precedent for those who wish for strong men in charge - it was the rallying cry in Italy in the 1930s, for instance. Just be careful what you wish for, is all I'm saying.

Reagan was an actor before he became a pol. He just played a role the whole 8 years.

Obama was an Ill state sen (granted, not much to be proud of, but it was politics), a US senator, a law professor, and a lawyer in private practice before he became pres.

No, it isn't. Just because you don't like Obama doesn't mean he wasn't more of a political known quantity than Mr. Trump. Sorry.
