Trump is not the man to lead us
American Thinker ^ | Sept 17, 2015 | Patricia McCarthy

Posted on 09/17/2015 8:59:53 PM PDT by upchuck

Anyone who watched the GOP debate tonight had to realize what a jerk Donald Trump truly is. While he may satisfy a certain lust in our hearts for someone who will poke the left and the GOP "leadership," he is a poster boy for self-love and bad manners. He may be brilliant at making money and deals, but tonight he did his usual bragging about his wealth and success, he insulted all of his fellow opponents on the stage, and he blew hard without much substance in his windy retorts.

He gets a few things right – the danger posed by North Korea, and the fact that criminal illegal aliens are a terrible threat to our safety and need to be deported. Beyond that, there was very little to remember about his performance. He mugged, smirked, and stuck his nose in the air. While many of us may have enjoyed his amusing entry into the fray, we should admit he is not presidential material. Not even close.

Those of us who are enraged at the lack of pushback by our elected GOP leadership should be forgiven for welcoming Trump's cocky, arrogant style; it was like getting to slap McConnell and Boehner across the face for their failure to live up to our expectations. But after a couple of months, the man's true nature is obnoxiously obvious: he is as big a narcissist as Obama. To elect him would be to trade one man afflicted with a personality disorder for another. Despite the differences in their professed ideologies, the results would likely be the same: national disaster. We cannot afford another national disaster as president. We are about to be overrun by the barbarians at the gates.

Upchuck! Upchuck is what this article is. Don’t care, how he presents, Trump will get the wall built! No one else will do it. They are all bought and sold by the GOPe establishment.

Yeahhhh!!! We need someone nice, and someone who will keep decorum and hug Pelosi, and someone who understands that playing nice is more important than winning./

No one else is even talking about it.

The phrase “securing the border” means nothing to me.

It “lacks specifics”.

I totally get her misgivings about him.

But I do believe he'll do something about the barbarians at the gates. Unlike most of the others on stage with him. With a couple of exceptions.

Trump has done so much bragging about what he is going to do that I’d vote for him just to see him follow through. He has to do whatever is in his power after all the talk. Looking at his track record, he could likely get a lot of what he has promised done.

A stopped clock is right twice per day. On American Thinker, she wrote an article questioning Obama’s sanity

Damn when you start out bad, being a heavy cigarette smoker is always a bad idea.

Is that a real picture? Looks like a guy in drag. Yikes. No, make that double yikes. May replace Helen Thomas.

Boo hoo. Trump may be a douche. Who cares? I'm electing a leader, not a BFF.

I want a guy who will stand up for America. If he bruises some tender feelings along the way, oh well...

What makes this writer the brainchild of politics? Talk about insulting all those who follow politics and who have brains of their own!!! God save us from all these political hack writers.
