The Silver Lining in a Hillary Victory

[Irving]

It's not like Trump came up out of no where and has no history. He's not even a wildcard. Why would anyone assume that he'll run the government any differently than he does anything else? It just doesn't make sense to me.

I realize I'm taking away from, yet another, anti-Hillary thread though. Since I'm not voting for either one of them, I can just as easily keep my amazement that either would get a vote to myself.

Why would anyone assume that he'll run the government any differently than he does anything else

and just what has been so bad about his personal life thus far? What has he done that, in your mind, disqualifies him to be president?

May as well add this to the Clinton Silver Lining theory:

Emails show Bloomberg wants to be Clinton’s secretary of state.

Enjoy 'em while ya got 'em. And don't put off to many future purchases for too long.

If the election was Mike Pence vs Tim Kaine, would that make the choice any easier for anyone?

The two candidates at the top of the ticket are not likely to get through two terms. Trump would be the oldest person to take the oath of office if elected and HRC is only a year younger than Trump. Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan are the only US Presidents to serve in their 70's and no matter who wins next month, the winner is likely to be the third person added to that list. No one votes for a VP, but this election is so befuddled, it may just be time to look at who gets the office if the geriatric in chief is unable to fulfill their term.

I apologize to any member who has reached the wise and experienced heights of their seventh decade or beyond. I intend no offense and have the highest regards for my elders.

No, he didn't come out of nowhere and I don't buy anything labeled "Trump" because I've watched the guy for 30 years. I'd rather he was considered for Chief Trade Negotiator or SecState than President because at least I'd have good faith the US would come out on top in trade and diplomatic negotiations but he's the only candidate available now to avoid a Clinton Rodham presidency which would be an unmitigated disaster. He IS a bit of a wildcard which is why the establishment Republicans are STILL fighting him. He's hardly conservative but he's also nowhere near as corrupt as Hillary and is definitely a lot more competent at running large organizations. He's pretty bad at politics but that's actually a positive IMO.

A vote for Johnson or Stein may as well be a vote for Rodham, especially with the Leftists in the press eager to bolster her and the Democrats by shading their reporting (of course, that's nothing new ... the mainstream press has been doing this since Reagan, it's just gotten worse and more blatant in recent years).

I tried to answer this for you, but I can't. It's like if I asked you what things disqualify Kayne West from the Presidency. Legally? Nothing that I know of. But I'd have to smash my head with a rock in order to arrive at a mental state in which I could try to seriously debate the pros and cons of a Kayne presidency.

For the record, no one is talking about Johnson, and I don't even know who Stein is. There has been a lot of assuming going on here the last few months. Any time someone questions Trump, the knee jerk reaction is to assume that person likes some other candidate and starts to argue a point that was never being made. It's rather embarrassing.

If you put Trump and Hillary on a ticket together, you would have the Nazi party take 2. National (Trump) Socialists (Hillary).

However, I'm not voting for Trump. I'm voting for "fuck left wing douchebags, and the republican party while you are at it."

Seems that is spelled Donald Trump on the ballet.
