What part do you not understand? It's your OPINION he's not 'fit'. Spell out objective, measurable, quantifiable standards for "fit", Hillary probably doesn't measure up either but since you're being emotional about it you'll still stand by her.

Don't want Trump? Don't run someone guaranteed to alienate half the country or more.

I don't.

Does he have some sort of mathematical proof?

His opinion is no better or worse than anybody else's.

as much as i agree with not voting for the lesser of two evils, the problem is that until we get back to a neutral as possible media in this country, who will stick to the facts and not be an ad campaign for one candidate or another, we will never get to where we have a choice of two or three candidates that battle on the issues instead of who can sling the most mud and get away with it.

the last few elections i have held my nose when i voted for a lot of candidates. at least trump tried to run a decent campaign with some positives for the american people.

i hope that one day we will get over this viciousness in political campaigns, and we can choose candidates on the issues.

That's up to you, not the media. "The media" is just an excuse for not doing the right thing.

I'd argue that you still failed to do the right thing by not voting for Hillary, a clearly superior candidate in every way imaginable, just because she didn't pass your "no foreign wars" purity test. Because, you know, climate change, healthcare, tax policy, dealing with our massive student loan debt, and selection of Supreme Court justices aren't that important. She voted with Bernie 90% of the time, but I guess that just wasn't good enough for some people.

And yet --- this person somehow beat the Clinton machine, 16 other republican candidates, and the media. Perhaps....nah, it couldn't be..... perhaps you are wrong.

Nothing was done about Climate change under Obama. Nothing was going to be done under Hillary outside of things corporations want. Obama signed an extension to Bush's tax cuts. Hillary wasn't going to raise taxes on her corporate donors. Her previous attempts and Obamacare was nothing more than a huge welfare program for the insurance and pharmaceutical companies. Millions are still without and millions more can't afford to actually use the insurance they have. Then, the wars......

There was nothing there to vote for. Do it again and the results will be the same.

If you want my guess at the answer, I would say that the left is determined to post a certain number of anti-Trump threads per day, thus this nonsense thread as there is nothing actually negative to post about Trump.

I'm really good at math, and I voted for Trump. My mathability allowed me to point out the error of the ways of the polling that said that Hillary Clinton would win.

Alzheimer's is nothing to joke about which is all anyone that isn't Trump's physician can do when it comes to whether or not such would be happening to him.

Cleaning toilets, putting private servers that aren't supposed to be using for secret government communications, yes, Trump doesn't fit that model. It sort of cleaned the toilet when he removed a Democrat from the WH though.

Just looking at the near sure thing when it comes to the election in 2020.

Well, maybe this guy is an idiot savant when it to his genius status with only "math" as his thing and not our government or Constitution.

25th Amendment time!
If you hold these beliefs to be true about Trump, imagine the horror the one he defeated must have been!

Do you know what the 25th Amendment says?

https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/amendmentxxv

The reality is that the way to get "rid" of Trump is for the Democrats to run a viable candidate. Yep, 8 years for Trump!

You'd be wrong. While you are addressing one C-D member, there are many, many, many more reasons that people did not vote for the morally, mentally and physically incompetent Hillary Clinton.

Selection of supreme court judges? EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. Pay your darn student debt, it was a CHOICE and many others went to work at menial jobs, again, pay your darn student debts.

Hillary cheated Bernie by buying the nomination. Everyone knows that and many that supported Bernie couldn't stomach the thought of voting for Hillary. So, she voted 90% of the time with him. Whoopee! She also did a LOT OF STUFF that Bernie would not have been on board with.

Trump is here to stay, although many of those still whining about Hillary losing deserve VP Pence to rise to the presidency at which point, they will have something to whine about.
