TI, do you really think that Donald would make for a good President in this day and age? If yesterdays debate was a litmus test, would you say that he passed?
In terms of what exactly? What's best for our economy? Absolutely. In other aspects? Probably not. But I don't think Hilary would either.

But wouldn't the leader of the free world need to be well rounded? I'm not bringing Hilary into this, nor am i arguing for he in any way, but Donald seems to point his finger at other peoples faults when he has no answer for the difficult questions.

When's the last time we had a well rounded leader?

Winning in trade which we lose.
Winning in foreign policy which we lose.
Winning for the military and vets which they lose.
Everyone here wants to dance around the fact we need to straighten this fcking country out.
Do you really believe that Donald is the one that's going to straighten this country out? I don't think the collective of both parties have the power, brains, or credibility to do that.

Obviously never, because this country slid even deeper into the shitter. However, to blame Obama for all of the shit that was swept under the carpet before his time isn't or shouldn't be the be all and end all. They've all made critical mistakes.

Only a cynic would blame Obama for everything, or even most things.

Do you ever watch cspan?
Also you do know the country is imbedded with the lobbiests.
Trump won't be in debt to those freaks.

I have more than one concern about Trump becoming the President, but there is one thing about him that chills me to the bone. His ability to diffuse certain situations. Will he go into international peace talks insulting the people that he is trying to make deals with? Isn't this something to be concerned about? The world stage is filled with leaders that seem more than willing to bomb the world in order to get their point's across. We need someone (not necessarily Hilary) that can play well with others. Trump is proving that he can't do this, or am I the only person seeing this?

Very true, but he needs to work on the blurting. He would have to deal with North Korea in the future. Can the world trust a man willing to tell his opponent that he doesn't like their face? People have been killed for less. War's have begun for less.

His personality made him who he is.So I don't follow with "oh he will fail with that type of attitude."
Maybe he is just the person we need to clear the air and fire half the government wasteful beurocrats and rout out the lobbiests.
The lobbyists? You mean like the NRA lobbyists?

People respect and fear Trump so this is a positive if he was president. His only real weakness as far as I can tell is his inability to quit while ahead. He will burn bridges.

That doesn't mean someone out of them necessarily knows how to do the job.

Also true.

Isn't he really, really known for donating to both sides in order to accumulate favors? Like, he hung out with the Clintons a lot, he donated to Rubio.
It'd strike me as odd if he suddenly turned anti-lobbyiest.
