The Don has been very good for NYC. That doesn’t mean he should be president.

-------

Who should? A lifetime govt employee politician trained as a lawyer?

Someone with a record as a conservative, which The Don doesn’t have.

I do think he’d be a GREAT Mayor of New York — but then, so was Giuiani, and I didn’t support him for president either.

I have wanted a businessman President for decades! Someone who knows when and where to spend money and when and where not to spend money.

In a word, yes.

Love the Donald, by the way. The article is right on. I was in New York from the mid-'70s through the mid-'90s. I've pointed out for years how the economic and cultural comeback of NYC is the direct result of Donald Trump's and Rudy Guiliani's vision and practical instincts.

I've just decided over the last few months that his gifts don't look as if they translate to policy creation and execution. He doesn't seem to operate by principles. He has loyalties--which are great. Country, work, military, opportunity. But the policies you create in government will be there after you and your personal loyalties are gone. What the Founders created was a system that, more than any other, was less vulnerable to personalities. To save our republic, we need someone who knows how to build on that.
