Heck, even if we generously assume that every single thing Trump has said during the campaign was just for the purposes of the campaign and will have no bearing whatsoever on how he will behave as president…
That still leaves us with nothing, because he has no public or military service record of any kind. If it’s okay to elect somebody to the presidency with no governmental experience, surely you can find a batter candidate than Donald Trump; perhaps one with fewer bankruptcies.
Here is what I think the last four presidents have been like, IMO:
Obama>>>>>>>>>>>Bill Clinton>>>>>>>>>>>George H W Bush>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>George Bush
If Hillary is elected president, based on what I currently think of her, here is where I PREDICT she will fall in the “My opinion of past presidents” guide:
Obama>>>>>>>>>>>Bill Clinton>>>>>>>Hillary Clinton>>>>>>George H W Bush>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>George Bush
So…not very bad. Better than both Bushes. Maybe not as great as her husband (maybe tied?). Definitely not as good as Obama.
Here is where I think Trump would be on it:
Obama>>>>>>>>>>>Bill Clinton>>>>>>>>>>>George H W Bush>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>George Bush>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Trump
So…confirmed: Hillary Clinton…best choice for PotUS.
To quote Winston Churchill: “At the moment it seems quite effectively disguised.”
Bullshit. Trump does have one thing going for him. He figured out that the Republican base didn’t give a shit about the issues that the Republican Media Industrial Complex were pushing. And so he could get tremendous applause lines at his rallies by talking about issues that the Republicans wanted to ignore.
But Trump absolutely has no agenda for his Presidency. He wants to be President, but not because he’s got a laundry list of policies that he wants to address. Instead he wants to be president because he wants to get even with all the people who laughed at him. His Presidency would be a long litany of getting on TV and whining and complaining about how unfair everyone was being to him, and trying to get the FBI to harass his enemies, and causing diplomatic incidents with random foreign leaders.
I’ve already lived through the presidencies of Richard Nixon and George W. Bush. I’m closing the “Worst President in My Lifetime” competition to all new entries.
Was that supposed to be some sort of chart? It didn’t format correctly so it’s hard to tell what it’s supposed to be showing.
I can predict this much over the next 4 years with accuracy regardless which becomes president
>The poor will still be poor
>The working class will still continue to prop everyone else up
>The wealthy will still continue to look for political opportunities that will weigh in their favor.
>Other countries will still seek to exploit America financially.
So meh.
It shows that Trump sucks.
Pretty much.
It was supposed to use “greater than” signs (doubled and tripled up to show “MUCH greater than”) to show what I think if past presidents.
I could have just used one sign for each (I.E. “Obama>Clinton>GHWB>GWB”), but that wouldn’t convey just HOW MUCH worse the latter ones were, IMO. This is more apt: “Obama>Clinton>GHWB>>>>>>> (add another 500) >>>>>GWB”.
With Trump included, add about…oooh…a million greater than signs after GWB and then put his name.
If by “good president” you mean “provides entertainment value”, then yeah, I’d say he has potential. That’s the only upside to a Trump presidency I could see.
We’ve been saying we told you so ever since 2008. And we’ve been right.
Our only hope is to stop electing liberals to public office.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Clothy, you’re such a fool.
Woosh?
If Hillary destroys the economy as much as Obama, I’ll be so rich that it won’t be funny. Look at the Dow in 2009 versus now. I know lots of Republicans think it went down because they are morons. Look at the unemployment rate. Look at gas prices.
Where I live, California, if the economy got any better rush hour will be 24/7.
But I understand your concern. After all, some poor people got health care thanks to Obama, and we can’t abide that, can we?
If your life is worse now than 8 years ago you only have yourself to blame.
Specify. Right about what?
Other than it being 2016( I checked, just in case), what have you been right about?
I did say “might” and “potential”. What, I didn’t use enough qualifiers for some of you?
By what metric are you making this evaluation? Serious question.
