I don't disagree with that. I wish we had a better read on Trump. Really, in terms of trying to decipher what his Presidential priorities might look like if he were actually elected... We know very little for sure.
If you laid out a -10 to +10 range, for change you expect should that person be elected...
I'd say Hillary's range would be a -6 to -4. We know what we're going to get. And it ain't good. Still, there is some room in there for it to be worse.
Trumps range? Maybe a -9 to +5? It's pretty much the entire spectrum of possibilities.
There is a real possibility he could be the worst president in my lifetime. There is also a real possibility he could be the best.
Why do you give Trump the benefit of the doubt? Are your hardened feelings about Clinton guiding how you perceive Trump?
There are people who have analyzed his public statements. If you look up Trump on the fairly balanced Politifact.com website and compare his record with previous Republican presidential candidates McCain and Romney, there is a
very stark difference Trump and his predecessors. His percentage of true or mostly true statements is abysmal.
Do you trust a leader that is constantly making untruthful statements? There are really only two explanations for it: He is either lying all the time or he literally just does not know any better. Would you personally be comfortable handing a person like this the nuclear codes?
People still think Trump's an idiot. It shows just how good he is at deception.
This is not a binary affair. You can be great at deceiving a sizable amount of people yet be a complete idiot about almost every thing else. Generally, even the people who despise Trump, acknowledge that he is great at winning over people.
The two most successful American music artists appear to be Rihanna and Mariah Carey. Millions of Americans are following their every word on social media. Tens of thousands of people regularly fill entire stadiums to see them live. Clearly, they are able to draw huge crowds. Does this make them qualified to run a country such as the United States of America?
I think it is healthy to remember that, especially in the US, it requires a vastly different set of skills to be elected into office than what is needed to effectively govern. It happens rarely that politicans are equally good at both.
