EXACTLY!

BECAUSE you DON'T know means you can't comprehend how running a business is a LOT like being a politician and having political experience.

Politician get bills passed by "NEGOTIATING and "MAKING DEALS" with other politicians.

THAT is what trump is a master at.

You don't build a $10 billion empire by NOT being excellent at those 2.

Government is not a for profit business. Unlike in the business world, Trump (as president) would be subject to limitation from the other parts of the government. These limitations do not exist, certainly not to the same extent that they do in government, in the business world.

I guess Trump could go the whole "executive order" route, but then he'd be to much like his favorite Kenyan. Not that his fans would hold him accountable to that; they never hold him accountable for anything.

Negotiating and making deals are not the only things a president is expected to do, nor do they work the same way in politics as they do in business.

You made this claim.I proved you are wrong."(I know, that's what you said I think and you'll just have to deal with the fact that you're wrong"

No, you are wrong.You see we are BOTH entitled to our own opinion. I did NOT say you were wrong, as I am NOT wrong.

I said I DISAGREE with your opinion which you state as fact when it is NOT.



"He's a hero because when given the opportunity to be released, he refused unless the others got to leave as well."

A good read if you are interested from someone who was POW BEFORE and during McCains time.

A different take on your claim.

"3) John was offered, and refused, "early release." Many of us were given this offer. It meant speaking out against your country and lying about your treatment to the press. You had to "admit" that the U.S. was criminal and that our treatment was "lenient and humane." So I, like numerous others, refused the offer. This was obviously something none of us could accept. Besides, we were bound by our service regulations, Geneva Conventions and loyalties to refuse early release until all the POW's were released, with the sick and wounded going first.

" If you disagree because you, I assume, think you're better than him".

You shouldn't assume ANYTHING (something you do a lot of) The ONLY one here who thinks they are better then others, is YOU.

You said being captured does not make him a hero, a phrase you would only say if you thought that's why I said he was a hero. Thus, you are wrong, or enjoy saying useless things just so we all hear what you have to say. I'm fine with either, I guess.

I'll make my point clear one last time: refusal to reject your own principals in the face of necessary hardship is a form of bravery that I feel in McCain's situation warrants heroism. This is true regardless of other also getting the offer and also refusing. I agree; serving alone does not make one a hero. But I never thought that. Feel free to continue thinking that I did.

Now, on assumption, I think you missed my point. I'll restate it clealry: if you can assume things about me, I can assume things about you. To think otherwise makes you... well, there's a word for it and if I use it I'll get some rambling rant, filled with unnecessarily capitalized words, about how mean and stupid I am. So I'll trust that you're smart enough to figure out what that mystery word is.
