Trump is very qualified...


..If you consider bankruptcies, cheating, dishonesty, lies, low character, bullying, mob-like behavior as qualification. Hahah but seriously after such a great president Obama, why did people elect a racist orange orangutan, is beyond me.

Anyone who hasn't seen the comparisons made between Trump and Lonesome Rhodes, the character Andy Griffith played in the 1957 film A Face in the Crowd, can check them out on the discussion board for that film. The public portrayed in that film come out as major geniuses compared to Trump supporters!

That's another good cinematic comparison for Trump's true nature. Someone else on here commented that he also resembles Greg Stillson from the novel and film of The Dead Zone.

Basically, any characters from fiction whose primary traits are egotistical narcissism, sociopathy, and a dollop of imbecility fit the bill for Trump.

White America never approved Obama, the democrats underestimated Trump. Hilary us a bitch.

Right now I am wondering if the only thing to prevent all-out civil war is to find some genuine charges against Hillary Clinton (if she actually did anything wrong), let her drag down the half of D. C. she supposedly threatened to take down with her, and lock them all up. Only then might Trump's pinhead supporters calm down enough to let this major maniac be incarcerated, throw away the key, and just start over. It's as if every charge against Hitler was countered with, "But that Stalin is such a major bitch," as if that made the entire holocaust and war all right. If it can be proven that Hillary actually did anything illegal, lock up her and anyone else involved. If not, STFU and bring Trump to justice already! I've had about as much as I can take as I am sure have many others!

It can be proven about Hillary but Comey said it was a nothing burger so everyone just moved along and forgot about it.

He won the election, but the people didn't vote for him.

108,856,312 people qualified to vote, didn't vote.
65,853,625 people voted for Hillary.
62,985,105 people voted for Trump.

But see, we don't practice actual democracy, so the voting numbers depend on where you live. The votes of rural people are inflated, and the votes of urban people are devalued.

The modern day argument for this archaic outdated Electoral system is that this prevents candidates from only campaigning in big cities... You know, because apparently campaigning is more important than democracy!

So instead of campaigning in front of millions more people, candidates go to lower-population areas where the electoral vote swings and areas where the votes are more important.

It's not based on anything other than the electoral votes. No pandering is prevented, in fact pandering is highly encouraged. It just serves fewer people.

The other argument for keeping this system is to prevent cities from deciding elections... Even though elections are ALWAYS decided by a very slim minority of swing voters in a few areas. The absurd logic behind this argument reduces the voices of "millions and millions of people" into "cities" and presents them as singular entities that supposedly shouldn't matter.

The actual reason why Republicans so staunchly defend the Electoral College is because it keep letting them win elections that they lost (democratically).

Right on!

The real insanity is the "we can't let cities decide elections" but we can certainly let a tiny portion of the population, swing voters in a few swing states, decide elections.

But see, Republicans who try to defend archaic outdated systems designed for a country in its infancy two centuries ago, they can't engage in logic, because there is no logic to it.

Here's my system: Have elections to determine the nominees. Then force the Republican and Democratic candidates to share the office of president and work together.

One state doesnt count.
