    And that makes you sound like a sociopath.

    But that's true of almost everyone in DC most of them consider the constitution as little more than a hindrance to their acquisition.

    I disagree. While many republicans here at PF hate politicians simply because they are politicians, I happen to believe that experience in a politics and government is important for a potus to be successful. Understanding diplomacy is important. Understanding what they can and cannot do is important. Capability of reading PDBs is important.

    Before reading this I thought calling him a sociopath was a bit over the top. I stand corrected, he's the poster child.

    Candidate QUALITY matters at all levels. We have seen the worst and we know we can do far better. Just need to appreciate that for every Obama there are going to be at least 100 scumsucking leeches like the Soon2BincarceratedFelon.

    I would add on this point that he's of the "physically coward" brand.

    Nope I simply see people propounding bs formulations purely for political purposes and call them on it. If Trump died tomorrow the same crowd of pusillanimous chatter boxes would be saying the same thing 24 hours later about any likely replacement. It's, sadly, how the modern Democratic Party works and it's been that way since the late 60's if not earlier. Demonize the opposition lie about your own positions and charge the opposition with what they themselves have been doing since FDR. It if ever so sad the so many American people will not examine for themselves what's actually going on but accept at face value what ever bullshit the alphabet soup media feeds them. I vote for Cruz over Trump until trump wrapped up the Nomination. The Democrat-Neocon Uniparty is destroying this country. This has been true since the nineties. And most of it is because there thinking processes haven't changed since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

    Disagree all you want Power still corrupts and power held to long causes sclerosis of the brain. And I seriously doubt if Biden can spell PDB if you spot him the first two letter let alone read and understand one.

    Disagree. There are many people on this forum with a terminal case of TDS, and they all exhibit the same symptoms described in the opening post (except for the charming part). I don't think it's a coincidence.

    I thought you would be trying to bring some substance for the fact that you finally voted for the MAGA guy.
    As an independant, I would gladly see a decent GOP candidate, like Christie, Kinsinger, Kasich (who was my first choice in 2016), get the nomination; De Santis is as stupid as Trump, although slightly more polished. As long as they stick to this criminal that should give nausea to any honest american, I'll stick to voting democrats.

    Trying to put all democrats in the same bag doesn't give you any credibility, unless you are a brainless and hopeless MAGA supporter. There are a few "dangerous" ones, but they are a small minority.

    The only difference between him and the Dems is that he is not charming.

    Bullet point one didn't see that Certainly not to any greater degree than anyone else in DC
    2. Thats been the democratic strategy at least since FDR
    3. Trump is perfectly respectful of those who treat him with respect. More than I can say for most leftists who don't even seem to like each other all that much at least not those in DC.
    4, Sorry not a person on this planet who isn't guilty of that at one time or the other.
    5. Humility is a trait politics doesn't reward.
    6. There wasn't a leftist on the planet that wasn't hostile aggressive violent or threatening toward Trump the moment he came down the elevator He merely dealt in kind to what was sent his way.
    7. Trump was the first president in my life time that didn't willingly spend American lives at the drop of a hat.
    8. Irresponsible? Please see the first 7

    So basically you're a status quo guy and you vote for the same top down BS we've had for the last 80 years no matter how bad it makes your life The uniparty needs people like you

    Try reading my posts again. If you can come up with an example you'd like to discuss, you have another shot.

    I asked for one example of a business of his that was both successful and non-fraudulent. You did not provide. Can you now?

    So you have evidence that all those business dealings in the time article are fraudulent? You should probably provide that to the local governments where they operate I'm sure they'd love to know...

    Then be willing to talk about one, as requested. Pick one. And try to pick an actual business and not just a single transaction. Do I really need to provide more coaching here? This ain't rocket surgery.
