Running country isn't like running a private business. The Bush family are incredibly successful in the private sector too. To be honest I don't think Trump's even some super genius businessman as has been mentioned before he inherited a lot of his wealth and would actually have more money today if he just invested that inherited fortune into a standard mutual fund rather than letting himself handle the business stuff. It's not like he went from nothing to this huge billionaire. Arnold Schwarzenneger as much flak as he gets is true rags to riches story, some people don't know this but aside from all his other exploits he became a millionaire just on real estate investements before becoming a movie star. But he really wasn't able to get much done in the world of politics. Politics is just it's own world fraught with compromise (hence the word politic). The other issue I have with Trump is I don't think he actually really has any core principals. He comes from the show biz philosophy of "the audience is always right", so you know what ever the audience wants he gives. But I don't think you can really be a successful president if you don't have any core principals other than showman principals. This isn't a Miss Universe contest or a casino. Beyond that though I don't think Trump is going to make it, he made a big fuss about always being a winner, always delivering, so this Iowa loss is going to sting him badly, don't talk the talk if you can't deliver the results (I'm going to win, going to win in Iowa easily ... he almost fell to third place). |
I'll go backwards in responses.
Trump did not put all his eggs in a basket named Iowa when Iowa has historically been at best lukewarm when being won by a actual nominee. The next two contests have him both with double digit leads and in NH it's been since October. He'll win handedly however the other story is that in the next two contests the follow candidates for 2nd and 3rd are not consistent, only consistent in this race is Trump.
There is not a single human being on this planet who would match your core principles requirement. It's a fairy tale that the Sanders folks are pushing because when you've existed 25 years in government and have not a single bill to show for it and have always been considered nothing more than a fly on the wall it's very easy to hold on to "principles". However if Sanders was a legitimate figure in Washington this principle issue would not even be a factor because human nature trumps (no pun intended) ideology when there's skin in the game.
Politics is compromise that’s clear. There is no to be found of legitimate meaning in Washington because children with no negotiation skills are elected to office.
Running a government is exactly like running a business. There is a clear misunderstanding for the role of government and its role and responsibilities in society. You have shareholders who are impacted by your choices (employees and citizens), you have investor interest to maintain (the G8), you have b2b relationships with require constant attention (trade and foreign affairs), you have product and service lines which must maintain a high standard (government programs and responsibilities), etc.
I came to read about the Nintendo NX. Let the country elect who they want, this nation gets exactly what it deserves and I am proud to be able to have the means to move and continue my work if it ever got insanely out of control. This is no longer the shining city on the hill. It's a welfare office with a bread line next to it.
@Jimbo1337 much love good Sir.
