Donald Trump is certainly qualified to be a reality TV star. He has lots of experience doing that.
But president of the United States? It’s not even close!
Trump has never held any kind of governmental office. He has never been a:
• School Board Member
• City Councilperson
• Mayor
• Judge
• State Representative
• State Senator
• Governor
• U.S. Representative
• U.S. Senator
Yet the arrogant, egotistical, man-child Trump believes he’s qualified to be president of the United States. Imagine this, this is a man who has never held office, and he believes he’s qualified for the highest office in the nation--president.
Not only does Trump lack the qualifications to be president, he also lacks the temperament. This is a man-child who responds like a spoiled child whenever he’s criticized or when something is said about him that’s not flattering.
Mature adults have self-control, and they don’t lash out every time something is said that they don’t like. But Trump is used to working in his own company, his own little bubble, where people kiss his feet and tell him what he wants to hear. That environment is not the real world.
Just recently, Trump came unhinged for the umpteenth time when he publicly criticized a judge who made a decision he disagreed with. He criticized the media for questioning his contributions to veterans organizations. This is a pattern with this man-child, who obviously has a thin skin. This is not the temperament of person who’s qualified to be president.
In a recent Vanity Fair article, Michael Kinsley wrote, “Trump is just the latest among a series of business types who think they should run the country because they ran a company. Remember Ross Perot? This year there are two, the other being Carly Fiorina, who ran Hewlett-Packard—ran it into the ground.
“Businesspeople are an odd category of citizen to look to as a populist deus ex machina. True, they usually have some practical business sense and experience, which is not worthless.
But their lives are different from those of people who are hurting, and increasingly so. (So are the lives of Washington journalists, but at least we are free to admit it.) Trump's business experience has been in real estate, professional celebrity, gambling casinos, and creative bankruptcy—not the kind of experience that is likely to be useful as president.”
The very fact this man-child has been taken seriously is one of the greatest scams in American history. You can attribute Trump’s popularity to reality TV and his appeal to people’s bigotry.
The presidency is the highest position in the United States. Trump is applying for the job, and so is Ms. Clinton. You, the voter, are doing the interviewing and hiring. You’re looking at Trump’s resume. It’s skimpy. He hasn’t held any of the positions mentioned above. You ask him behaviorial questions about his qualifications, but he just utters slogans, and he’s full of himself.
Clinton comes in for the interview. You look at her resume, and you see her accomplishments. You see she has the kind of experiences that have prepared her well to be president of the United States. After the interview, you sum the up. If you’re thoughtful and rational, she is the hands-down favorite for your vote.
If Bernie Sanders cannot get his way, he’s prepared to fly his political spaceship, with all of his followers aboard, into the Sun on a suicide mission. That’s how it seems.
It’s widely acknowledged that Bernie Sanders will not be the Democatic nominee for president in 2016. He just doesn’t have the delegates. Moreover, Sanders’ attacks on Hillary Clinton will not increase his chances of becoming the nominee. Yet, one thing his attacks will do is help Donald Trump.
When Sanders attacks Clinton, and when Trump attacks Clinton, she’s getting it from both sides, and it is Trump who benefits.
To win the presidential race in November, Democrats must unite and stay focused on defeating Trump.
Protesting against Trump and what he stands for is a good thing. But voting in November is even better.
Democrats need to see Sanders for what he is, an opportunist. He’s not a Democrat, but he is running on a Democratic platform. His attacks on Hillary Clinton do not help him, they help Trump. Sanders is a moonbeam on a political suicidal mission that will help the Republicans and Trump--the very opposite of what he claims he wants to do.
Like Trump, Sanders is on an ego trip. It's all about him. He's also a loser who hasn't solved any issues, because he thinks he's always right, and he cannot work to build coalitions with others who don't share his views.
