    In May, President Obama delivered a thinly veiled critique of Trump by saying that “in politics and in life, ignorance is not a virtue.”

    Trump is exhibiting his "lack of virtue" on a number of items, not the least of which is conflict of interest between his businesses and the presidency.

    Trump is exemplifying his ignorance and demonstrating he is not qualified to lead by repeatedly flip flopping on policies that got him elected. Trump doesn't know whether he is Arthur or Martha and his advisers are too scared of him to guide him.

    Trump is a superior leader.

    He's lead 60,000,000 to believe his endless BS, frauds and scumbaggery. Welcome to the future where lies and pus-sy grabbing are status quo.

    Yeah and I'm still waiting on my $2,500 in insurance savings. Funny the man hasn't even took office and the left is already holding him to a higher standard than they ever did President Obama.

    Welllll . . . to be fair, the only standard the Left ever held Barack Obama to anyway was his skin tone, and that was built in.

    If you read that interview Trump never really committed to anything, he just put out some fires the left media was using against him. Lord only knows that the left was salivating at the prospect of making Clinton a martyr. When Sessions comes to him proposing prosecuting her on the ongoing Clinton Foundation investigation he can graciously pardon her in exchange for the Clinton Foundation shutting down and she will be branded a criminal and a failed politician in the history books. So now the only thing that the media is left with is attempt to brand him a flip flopper

    What standards? There's that thing in which different standards are applied to different people according to their race....hmmmm, that govt sponsored program that allows people with less qualifications to gain jobs, just to be "fair"....hmmmm, what is that called again? Oh, yeah. Affirmative Action. Different races/genders = different standards. Isn't thinly veiled racism/sexism supported 100% by the Democrat party, a kick in the a$$ =) INstead of everyone held to the same standard, we need to give certain people a chance. Obama is the epitome. He DESERVED IT, because he was black and CLinton DESERVED IT because she was a woman. Disagree that those factors should ever play a part in job qualifications and you're shamed and shouted down. Clinton even ran on that premise. Being a woman made her qualified and we needed to make that happen because it's her turn....isn't that hilarious=)

    I hope that everyone notices that thus far all the responses by the pro-Trump people have been deflection oriented; not one of them directly answered any of the OP's questions. What does that tell you? :)

    Because they can't. They are speechless. They are as clueless as he is, because they have no idea where he stands and what he stands for. Why? Because, not only do they not know what his policies will be, they haven't a clue how they will be implemented. They decided on blind faith coming from someone who is more clueless than they are. This is what they got; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGUNPMPrxvA

    Wall
    restoring the Constitution into the SCOTUS
    cut tax rates for business
    repeal ACA
    repeal Dodd/Frank
    strike down a lot of EPA regs
    Stop subsidizing solar power as well as hybrid/electric vehicles

    I'll measure him on deliverables because believe it or not, he's not yet in office.

    With Obama we had to give him a pass because he never signed a paycheck in his life. He was and still is clueless so we were looking to simply survive his regime. With Trump, he's grown a business and will be held accountable by the voters. He will not be given the lattitude which Obama still enjoys because Trump has lived within the Dreaded Private Sector.. We don't care how bad things are due to 8 years of incompetent Obama. Trump has the job, now go fix things.

    The Great Flatu's monumental SNAFU has to be the security blanket "wall" notion he sold to his stress-incontinenced insecure if he actually attempts, through the federal government, to seize private land by eminent domain and expend vast taxpayer dollars, to achieve an erection to win their applause.

    According to his endorser and supporter, the neo-nazi Daily Stormer, the wall-eyed UberLeutnant Kobach is eager to satisfy the Trump® U scam artist's edifice complex.

    Clearly, the Hillary supporters here are disappointed that Trump is not crazy about going after Hillary. It doesn't fit the Hitlerian image of Trump that they want to hold on to.

    They want to throw Hillary under the bus for the sake of maintaining the political divide in this country, rather than healing, and it's killing them that it might not happen.

    It all fits though .... birds of a feather, flock together.

    She would have thrown you under the bus in a heartbeat if it had been to her political advantage. So why should I be surprised that you guys want to throw her under the bus for political reasons?

    Have you guys ever seen a video of what happens to a shark that is wounded and bleeds?


    A few days ago I posted that I thought that maintaining the rule of law outweighed the desire to just forget Hillary and move on. You guys are convincing me that maybe Trump is right.

    The most surprising thing? That Trump even bothers to talk to the NY Times. That paper is incapable of offering a balanced view of Mr. Trump.

    Yup. A textbook example of damned if you do, damned if you don't.

    Yes. And the one-trick pony routine is starting to run a bit thin...

    What a load of rubbish. The majority of not Trump supporters were stating that Trump will not even attempt to prosecute Clinton. for example

    Nobody cares except the left. Everybody else is worried about Thanksgiving and by the time they pay attention in passing as they are taking a break from Christmas shopping, MSNBC will have gotcha moment #487 for the year to obsess over.

    I know I'm hitting a nerve, striking close to the truth, when I get a response like "What a load of rubbish."


    I am on record as favoring an independent investigation of Hillary. But as I see you sharks circling the water, ready to eat one of your own alive, it gives me pause. If I were Trump, it would be a tough call for me, and the more you guys boo-hooed over not going after her, the more it might convince me to not go after her.

    you are missing the point. It is Congress and the Judicial branch that calls for special investigators and grand juries
