    Now a two-fer...

    Well, I think it's pretty clear how I feel about Trump. For the life of me i can't understand how anyone with more than two grey cells to rub together could be willing to hand our country and future to this man. I have to believe they are either anarchist or really don't have a clue how the government, economy, or world works. How can they and still think he's a pretty good idea?
    I've heard some say that we need to crash before we can improve. That we need this 'wake up call'. Again, these folks have no idea what they are asking for or they would sit in the corner drooling on their shoes at the reality of this. It's truly insulated privileged first world thinking. You want to totally crash the economy all around you but your world will just go on spinning as before? You want to alienate, insult and threaten the rest of the world, enemies and allies alike, but keep the goods and services coming and going, and no, I won't go fight or send my kid to fight? it's truly frightening how so many people only look at A without seeing how B and C follow.
    Anyway, apparently Donald heard about the EgyptAir crash and went immediately to his twitter to declare it terrorism and somehow Hillary is to blame... Not exactly the 3AM call. More like the National Inquire call...or maybe Madam Tarot . But then again, he DOES know everything. Just ask him!

    Now, Bernie. Oh dear...I had such great hopes for him. Turns out he isn't ready for Prime Time either. That bit in Nevada..Nasty stuff. If only he had spoken to it and condemned it...without a 'but'. He said (and i paraphrase) yeah, yeah, they shouldn't have behaved badly and I condemn violence and all...but...it was justified.
    Sorry, he lost me on the 'but'. That sort of behavior should NEVER be explained away or condoned by any political leader. And certainly not someone who wants to be President.
    The man has passion, I'll give him that. And he does have some good ideas. it's just not enough. As i said in the other post, the President needs to be the President for everyone and everything. Not just the economy or just business or just the poor or just the wealthy or just the environment. And not just democrats or just republicans. Everyone. I see Bernie more in a cabinet position where he can concentrate his energies.

    They really aren't 100% equal. You do have a choice. But, if you want to abdicate your voice, go ahead. Then you can go on facebook and complain how no one has any real power in how things are run or what direction the country is headed.
    Because of course Hillary or Trump would make exactly the same choices in Supreme court picks or world diplomacy or economic direction, right? Or the exact same choices in trade agreements or don't ask don't tell or healthcare or infrastructure or women's choice or a hundred other things.

    I think she's better qualified at this point. I don't think she's as evil and corrupt as you think.

    At least we can be sure Trump won't put Bill in charge of the economy. He already screwed that up good and proper at least once. Not to mention all the African Americans he jailed for life over simple possession of a weed. I think somebody has selective memory of the good ole days.

    Better qualified for business as usual? Sure.

    And that is why I won't vote for her.
