Good points. Hillary was a weak candidate in 2008 and BHO was, too. The Republican candidates were just as bad. Thus, we find a man like Trump still standing. I watched The Apprentice; Trump likes to fight, to scuffle, to win.
One of the things that Trump has shown is what many of us suspected - these politicians aren't that bright or talented they just corrupt puppets who are good at dancing and singing.
All hat and no cattle - no action all prattle - to them we all just state owned revenue generating chattle
