In agreement with all your points, but let me add one more, perhaps more important than any other.

The ability to continue on with confidence after a big failure, quickly learn from it, adjust and move on.

I don’t see that ability in any of the others. So far as I know none have experienced a failure or loss of equal magnitude, so we have no way of knowing how they react to such stress personally and to the burden of loss suffered by employees.

Disclosure: I worked in the firm that did urban planning, zoning, documents for local review and approval of his West Side project. In that milieu he is fully focused on all elements of his project vision and the necessary steps to achieve it to successful completion. And yeah, his bombast is on par with Gen. Patton’s, sometimes inappropriate, but hard charging towards the goal.

I have some friends who ask me incredulously, "How could you vote for Trump given the way he acts and speaks?"

My answer is simple. I voted for him (I've already voted early in Florida) because I'm tired of playing that "vote-for-this-fake-conservative-again" that the GOP establishment elites jam down our throats every four years. Remember that strong conservative McLame? Or that real go-getter, Bob Dole? Or meek, mild, moderate liberal Mitt?

And now we have a winner in Trump and the GOPe are dumping on him big-time because he is not conservative enough? Like they've put forward a conservative candidate in the past? When?

Trump is a winner. He exudes leadership, winning and success. Perception is everything. He is not playing the same game as everybody else. He's playing his own game by his own rules. And he's good at it.

And to the complaints about his potty mouth and intemperate comments, I can only say that I don't micro-manage my candidate's day-to-day comments or shift my support every time he says something people don't like or says something shocking that critics think should disqualify him. I wince occasionally like many people do at certain things he says and don't agree with his rough edges or crude insults, but I'm looking for a winner. Not another polite, politically correct candidate who can't win the election. We've had too many candidates like that who are lost in the dust of history's dirt road.

So it is a moot question whether we should pick Trump or someone else to support. It's already a done deal. It comes down to Trump or Hillary. A no brainer.
