A couple of things to think about:
When Reagan took office the poll during the election was stark. Carter was considered smarter, nicer, and a better humanitarian. Regan was considered much less erudite, a war monger, and cold to poor people. But he won the election convincingly. People overwhelmingly thought Reagan could lead and Carter could not.
Second, whenever people ask me, how could I vote for Trump when he has all these personality flaws. I say, President is an executive position. I don’t want a politician in there. I don’t want an attorney in there. I want a chief executive. And I want one who knows that the people not the press and not the billionaires are the stock holders of the country. Trump may not be perfect, but at least he knows what the goal is.
“Second, whenever people ask me, how could I vote for Trump when he has all these personality flaws”
i don’t understand people, it seems many are looking for Jesus to vote for and won’t settle for less.
i’ve had to tell many that i’m not voting for Trump to come to dinner. Churchill was considered crass by many also. But look at the vision he had, the courage, and what he accomplished! Imagine if whiny liberal said that he drinks too much, says rude jokes, and has a red face – therefore I won’t vote for him. They would be speaking German today
