Once things get down to the nitty gritty, America will hopefully snap out of it and end the ride. It's sad as hell when you're Republican front runner is Donald Trump. Business man, sure. President...uh..no. Most presidents we have seen, can tame their tongue and be wise to speak when appropriate and listen. He does too much speaking and too little listening, that's a recipe for a bona fide idiot. Why is he always in the news? He insults everyone he comes in contact with and he's fake as heck. You thought Obama was terrible...you thought Bush was terrible...just wait for Trump. He'll show us real terror.

You don't build a multi-billion dollar empire without being able to get along and compromise with  a wide group of people.  I really can't put it any simpler than that.   You think Trump will be terrible because you're buying his shtick hook, line and sinker.  You think he's just some blowhard reality TV show star.  He's a smart ivy league educated man who is essentially running an incredibly low budget campaign and completely destroying his competitors in the process.  

He's always in the news because he wants to always be in the news.  It's called playing to win the game.  He's out polticianing the politicians.  

 

Obama had zero credentials for his presidency.  Zero.   Just like Bush,  Bush had zero credentials other than "My Dad was pres!".   Trump will be way better than both of them.  

 

I actually think Trump is actually fairly liberal. He's stated his positions before and they are in fact quite liberal. He's not very religious either (so lol at him playing religious coservatives like a deck of cards).

He's a show man though, and he understands TV, so he knows how to whip guillable people into a frenzy. 

Honestly there are no credentials for being president. There is no job remotely like being president of the United States. They all learn on the fly. 

Business world is easy to bring people together because there's a combining, overriding mutual force in business called -- gettin' paid. There's self interest involved. It doesn't work like that in politics. 

I don't believe he's liberal,  centrist - independent would be far closer (He's been a registered Republican since 88').   I believe that's why he would be a great choice.  He's not a divider (Obama has been a divider,  Cruz would be a divider too for example).

There isn't credentials for being president, but if there was any job on the planet that compares the most?  It probably would be the role in which Trump sits.  A multi-national, multi-billion, global conglomerate of businesses.   

 

Business world is easy to bring people together because there's a combining, overriding mutual force in business called -- gettin' paid. There's self interest involved. It doesn't work like that in politics. 

If you go a step more abstract,  that's exactly what politics are.  Gettin' paid is exactly the same as (Gettin' something that I want (Military support,  Cheap Oil, strategic help,  10 Battleships, Nuclear energy, etc, etc).   The manner in which you need to achieve that balance or agreement may differ, but the core concept remains the same and people are people.   You sell people, not ideas.
