Brilliant.

He's laying it out there. He likes to pretend that running the US is a reality show. He has sullied the office of President of the United States with his insipid Twitter rants.

He's disgusting.

I guess keep right on hoping, but I can tell you now that he's not going to get better. Just worse.
Sooooo, no. But don't let that bias stop you from making assumptions and then running away with the fake argument you created in your own mind.

I'm pretty sure he was. Literally and figuratively.

Trump is a liar.

A con man.

A crook.

And his presidency will be a bad one.

Honesty?

He's already done more for the country before taking office than the last 4 Presidents put together. Those who can't or won't see that are those happy with our generational race to the bottom and for the Federal government to control our very thoughts.

America can do better, given courageous leadership. There won't be another Trump for a long, long, time and right now he's our best shot at saving this sinking ship.

Oh, and if anyone alive today remembers the Teddy Roosevelt Presidency, I want to meet them.

Keep waiting for those jobs to come back. Sorry, but you have been conned.

Some have already started to come back. Not because of anything any president has done. More will for these same reasons and if it happens under Trump he will take credit even though it's unlikely that it happens because of his actions.

China is being forced to address things like low wages and emissions. That makes it no longer as cheap to produce things there.

If you want to make it about me then please, do not waste more time.
...so instead of the political establishment..which includes people who might have some actual grown up experience dealing with foreign leaders outside building golf courses, we should just go with, say, shooting from the hip louts who say brash things on twitter. ..if there's another one around besides the President elect.

Personally, from Trump's list of considerations....Corker or Khlailzad would be good choices.

I Like Romney, but he's not the right guy...

As opposed to the enlightened among us who embrace the cultural and economic calamity called "globalism" enthusiastically with a big smile. As opposed to those who are proud when their masters pat them on the head for repeating their lines right and for taking one for the global team as the global team holds them upside down, emptying their pockets.

There are more options than that. That you would narrow it down to those two options show a part of the problem.

Secretary of State isn't some local patronage job, it is one of the most important jobs in our country and it requires a certain degreee of experience, talent and demeanor.

A job many people do on a daily basis in many walks of life.
