Frankly, I think there are strong odds we are headed for catastrophe regardless of who gets elected.
But one thing you said interests me: “Trump will not need to do that. He can put people in positions on merit, not as favors in exchange for favors in return.”
That can be a good thing or bad thing. It depends on what the leader has in mind. What concerns me the most about Trump is that he is a political chameleon, has a huge ego and a “my way or the highway” attitude.
I’ve said to young men who are engaged: “Look at how your future bride responds to people and events she is really angry with because at times it will be directed at you. Can you andle it?”
So I picture Trump performing his MO as president and imagine he is implementing something I - and most of congress - is strongly against. How will he respond? Will he be even worse than Obama? I don’t know, but these are questions worth trying to answer.
Again, I love what he is doing. I have to decide if I trust him. His comments about Christianity are not re-assuring.
“His comments about Christianity are not re-assuring.”
I’m not familiar with what you are referring to?
Remember when Bush was running and appointed his cabinet.....my son and I both said at that moment something big was coming for the men he appointed were strong and powerful men. ...9/11 would and did require such.
I agree we are going to face something equal to that ahead regardless of the nature of.....it's vital we have strong and “decisive” men at the helms!
BTW...your thread is proving to be the best one of the day !
