Trump Unqualified? We've Heard It All Before
Real Clear Politics ^ | October 17, 2016 | Eliot Kaplan

It’s not a new argument. What sensible person could support a Republican candidate for President with no foreign policy, economic or legislative experience? A candidate lacking the right background to keep the nation out of protracted wars or even nuclear confrontation. And the man is a mere entertainer to boot, known more for his television appearances than his policy positions! We all know, in hindsight, what a magnificent job was done by the last man they said these things about. Under President Reagan’s watch, Iran ended the hostage crisis without taking a payoff, the Cold War ceased without military confrontation, the economy was booming, and there were plenty of good jobs to be had. But Reagan didn’t make this successful transition from showman to Commander-in-Chief all by himself. He was a talented manager who surrounded himself with the best political, economic, and military minds.

Our current entertainer-turned-candidate Donald Trump is a great leader based on nothing more than his success in the cutthroat real estate business. More children of wealth squander their inheritance than increase it. Trump bucked this trend, increasing his substantially. Judging from his children, they will do the same. If you want an accurate picture of Trump’s leadership ability, take a close look at those children; it is harder to raise good kids than to make money....

Funny - recent Wikileaks release of her Wall Street speeches has Hillary saying that she thinks it would be good to have a business man in office once in awhile to bring that kind of experience into government - maybe she’ll do a testimonial for Trump......

The more people attack Trump the better he ends up looking.

folks we have to talk to EVERYONE,

the squishy undecided and the thinktheyare feminists are the audience we have to pierce. They are the mentally weak and we CAN bring them to our side away from the zombies.

The women are focused on the absurd tape nobody cares about because they want to justify voting for a (open homosexual) woman.

the terrorists will not give a crap (as in poop) about their safety, their education, their children or their families.

Hillary will sell each one individually for a dollar.

Don’t you this this should have been brought up, AND PROVEN before the primary?

The American people who support him don’t believe that for a second.

They libs are speculating with no basis in fact. On the other hand Obama and Clinton have proven their incompetence for years, and years.

There is no such thing as “unqualified” after Obunghole obtained public office.

Mr. Trump is a private citizen....a successful private citizen. I hardly think he cheated his way to the top of his business or lied about his business....no matter as a private citizen he, even if he were a government employee, his business and acumen and integrity would not come within a billion miles of the cunning, slippery, evasive and honesty challenged Mrs. Clinton who is covering for the equally dis-honest Obama....Had Director Comey indited the 100% indite able guilty Hillary Clinton, he would have had to show how indite able with such treasonable acts Barry Obama is.

Together Clinton and Obama have brought the FBI to its knees as well as earlier the Justice Roberts Supreme Court by applying bullying pressure to bear for Obamacare.....John Roberts is not entirely innocent, a race thingy was at play. Political Correctness is an easy sword to wield unless you are totally Politically INCORRECT and strong of spine like Trump...and tell it like it is! Try it You'll Like it....nothing like a good dose of honesty to slay the nuts.....

My family has Facebook accounts for business reasons, and we have liberal ‘friends.’ Funny how these liberal friends assured us that Obama was nothing to worry about because we always survive bad presidents. They pointed to George W. Bush as evidence.

But now these same liberals are arguing Trump is completely unqualified and will destroy the country. They say Trump is a business failure. No accomplishments, none. I don’t know how they would explain all of the buildings and golf resorts with Trump’s name on them, or the rest of his real estate portfolio. How does he pay for the plane and lifestyle? Makes me chuckle.

People running our government in the past have had tons of political and government experience.

The Clintons, Biden, Bushes, Gore, etc etc have tons of government experience. And I do not like what they have achieved for the country. Trump has achieved a lot for his business and employees. So it is high time we try a non-politician.

Just a few years ago Obama was saying how Hillary was unqualified to be president.

The founding fathers wanted regular people (farmers, storekeepers, teachers) to be in government, not these cockroaches - oops, I insulted cockroaches...
