"Winning is the most important thing in my life, after breathing. Breathing first, winning next."
George Steinbrenner
A hatchet job from the ultra-liberal HuffPo.
The guy is entitled to his opinions and yeah he has a unique perspective but I don't know the whole of their relationship and it seems like he has an axe to grind.
Is Trump the perfect candidate? No way. He especially needs to develop a thicker skin and pick his battles more wisely. But I am sick and tired of the Bush-Clinton-Obama regime. Trump has the best ideas on where the country should be headed.
He had his own "personal Vietnam"......
Draft-dodger Donald Trump once said that the danger he faced from getting sexually transmitted diseases was his own “personal Vietnam.”
In a 1997 interview with shock jock Howard Stern, Trump talked about how he had been “lucky” not to have contracted diseases when he was sleeping around.
“I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world. It is a dangerous world out there. It’s scary, like Vietnam. Sort of like the Vietnam-era,” Trump said in a video that resurfaced Tuesday on Buzzfeed, “It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier.”
The writer was definitely very liberal. Being a conservative myself, I pretty much ignored all of his talking points attacking Trump from the left.
However, the guy did raise various points which seem to be valid from a nonpartisan standpoint:
- He has very thin skin
- He doesn't seem to have much of a grasp on the issues, nor the complexities of how to accomplish his stated goals
- He has made a career out of lying, exaggerating, and sometimes screwing people
- He does not act Presidential, and seems incapable of doing so
- Some of his business ventures were very questionable
Keep in mind that I do not agree with the ultimate conclusion of the article (that we must vote for Hillary instead). Also, I have to laugh at the guy for blaming the media for making Trump viable versus Hillary. Wrong. The media helped him win the primary, but the media has done nothing but attack Trump in the past few months, while glossing over many of Hillary's crimes/abuses. Trump is viable versus Hillary because Hillary is beating herself.
Hillary has a whole different set of problems which also make her unfit for office.
But I also can't ignore some of these really glaring issues of The Donald.
These are legitimate concerns I agree and not just "ZOMG Nuclear Codes" and "this guy is literally Hitler" bullshit. If Trump doesn't straighten up a bit he's not gonna win I don't think. But the election is still there for the taking if he focuses on the flat economy and national security while keeping Hillary's feet to the fire on her corruption.
It can't be denied that Trump has tapped in to a lot of the frustrations of Americans. I personally think he will be OK as President despite his shortcomings. His negatives are not as great as Clinton's massive penchant for corruption and shadiness.
And, as someone who also leans conservative, Trump will most likely put people I like in the Supreme Court.
I agree with your points here about what that attorney said about Trump.
Regarding Hillary's most glaring "problem" (, i.e. she's "corrupt"): Are you aware that Chester A. Arthur was one of the most corrupt pols who ended up becoming president? Yet, when he became prez after Garfield died in office, Arthur turned on his corrupt buddies and rigorously reformed the very source of his ill-gotten gains (the civil service)?
Also, Joseph Kennedy, Sr., was the king of shady investment pools in the 1920s, which made him especially knowledgable to establish meaningful regulation of the stock market when tapped by FDR to do so during his first term as prez.
The lesson of those examples isn't to judge too harshly a pol who is corrupt merely because they are so. The more meaningful question is whether their corrupt ways are likely to interfere with their ability to meet the expectations of their supporters. And Hillary, as an elected official, did very well in that category as the junior US senator for New York, as well as working for Team Obama as SecState.
Clinton up 8 points.

What ever life you perceive me to have is just up to you're imagination, which seems to run wild alot. I can assure you it's better then being some midget delivering packages on a tricycle.

I don't think he escaped his sleeping around career completely unscathed. We still don't know what causes him to look like an orange orangutan.
BTW I'd bet anything he's still sleeping around. He probably makes Clinton look like an amateur, but Trump surely is getting better looking and classier ass, because he can just pay for it directly or indirectly.
Trump owned that fraud Paul Ryan pretty hard today.

I think people need to save their outrage for when Trump actually does outrageous stuff, of which there is plenty. Vietnam draft dodging as a youngster is not outrageous, we've had two presidents and two vice that already did it.
chris christie just threw trump under the bus.

Imagine being so close to hitting a 150-1 shot and it turns out the guy you bet on is crazy.
Nice job right wingtards you nominated a pathological liar who is carrying around a mental disorder or two..lolz the same retards who got bush into office not once but twice turn around and nominate this guy. Why am I not surprised?? Little hint for you guys... stop voting the same way as Alabama,mississippi and Arkansas .
ok to be fair, Bush2 stole the first election, then we fuckin voted him in again legit because AMERICA after 9/11 was so fuckin brainwashed we actually believed he cared. I was 18 when he got re-elected. it was my first time voting. I did not vote for him. I voted dem.
I question the mental health of a lot of PFA'rs. glad none of you clowns are running for public office.
