POTUS.thoughts? Started by: Pure_Blooded_Texan on Jul 28, '16 20:01
You know how crooked politics are and how blatantly so they've become? Curious as to how many people plan on voting for Hillary Clinton and how many won't be. After all the scandals etc with Hillary and NO jailtime xo you honestly believe she's innocent?

Also as much as it sucks....I have no doubt Hillary will somehow manage to be the next potus. Im fairly certain it had already been decided on.

What are your thoughts regarding this? And who do you feel would make one hella good President?

Given the two candidates, by far in my opinion Hillary has led the more honest life, the bulk of which has been in politics.  I am not fan at all of Trump in politics.  If you wanted to sit him on a board of somewhere to make decisions to benefit the shareholders, then he is your man.  But to run a country?  But POTUS?

 

Lets look at the 7 of the major responsibilities of being president.

Chief Executive: Yeah, as long as he doesnt dip into self serving business interests and cronyism, I can see trump doing this.

Chief of State:  LOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOL He is as warm and in touch with your average man as Gilbert Godfrey trying to induct you into some pyramid scheme selling geritol.

Command In Chief: What past experiences have you seen with him that says "Level headed and makes well thought out decisions when it comes to the lives our our servicemen"

Chief Diplomat:  He is laughed at across the world, and despised by many who have ever had interests other than his.

Legislative Leader: His *own* party is shaking their head that they have to back him.  The only thing that could possibly benefit trump is those that will toe the party line out of traditionalism.

Guardian of the Economy:  He has some personal experience with this in certain parts of the spectrum.  Hey may bring to the table some things that Cltinon can not, as opposed to just blindly depending on their advisors.

Chief of Party:  There are so many backroom grumblings about Trump that his own party may not even want his nod for it may taint their careers.  Every where he goes, he is stepping on republican toes and pissing off his future partners.

 

Does Clinton check all these boxes all the right way?  No.  But, I feel a lot better with Clinton over trump in most of these areas.

I'll just explain my view the way I normally do to anyone. I'll back any candidate who is honest and that doesn't flip-flop on issues, regardless of their stance on the issue. Bernie Sanders would've been my man this election but the tides of corruption and stupidity trump yet again.

"that doesn't flip-flop on issues, "

 

Thats such a double edged sword though.  Get further educated on a topic and change your view on it? Flip flopper!  Fight for the majorit views of your constituents, despite it being the opposite of what you personally believe?  Flip flopper!

Most dont take the time to find out why an opinion changed, they just like to play the sound bite of person saying A then person saying B.

(As a side note, I wish Sanders was given the nod as VP for Clinton thoughh, I think the two of them could have done a lot more together for the good of the country than apart)

Firstly, if you're running for POTUS, you should already be highly educated/up-to-date on current topics. Secondly, that's just an excuse to people who aren't open to new ideas. EX: Sanders not wanting to punish gun manufacturers for gun crimes. It's not a popular opinion among his party, but he kept that stance since day one of his campaign and never changed it. I'll take honesty over a popular opinion any day.

"Most dont take the time to find out why an opinion changed, they just like to play the sound bite of person saying A then person saying B."

Unless there is a valid reason for a candidate changing their status on an issue, which is highly unlikely, a candidate has no business changing their status. As for the people who don't do their own research on candidates, information, issues, etc., well that's just a shame.

I will respectfully disagree on Hillary...shes proven time and time again to not only be a liar but also show amcomplete lack of responsibility..Benghazi being a huge example. Secondly all she has does has been flip-flopping.....

My man was Ted Cruz....oh well
