Dan Quayle: Trump is 'more qualified' than Clinton in this election
MSN News ^ | May 12, 2016 | Eliza Collins

Dan Quayle thinks Donald Trump is a “more qualified” candidate than Hillary Clinton and the Republican Party should rally around him.

The former vice president, who served under George H.W. Bush, appeared on NBC’s Today show Thursday and said that Trump was more qualified than Clinton in this particular election because people want an outsider.

Yes he beat Al Gore in the debate but it was too late. He got my respect by at least going down fighting. He outdid Mr. Benson in a tv debate(McNeill/Lerher) which led to 41 picking him. If not for the vp debate. Now if he would have said: “you’re right I’m no JFK. You see, I MARRIED Marilyn” ...

President’s and their VP’s adhere to etiquette which forbids candid criticism of any other past or present presidents and candidates.
And the Bush and Clinton clan are in cahoots, so that would explain GHB and GWB silence for how awful the Clinton abuse power.

We live in a desperate time of existential threat for our nation.
We desperately need the whole truth to be spoken and corresponding corrective constitutional action.

RE: “That’s not forceful. Not even close. I’m not calling him a wimp, but that is much closer to wimp than it is forceful.

Forceful would be to tell the truth in any choice of words he might want:

1. Clinton has deceived the American people about many things in her past, many, many times

2. Trump really does support America, and really does want to make America Great Again

Something like that would be forceful. Ok, you can come up with reasons why he can’t/won’t/shouldn’t, whatever.

But please, don’t read the words I just posted above from Quayle and call them forceful.

They are not forceful.”

Too bad the card they gave him to read from and check the word had it spelled P-O-T-A-T-O-E.

It was also spelled with an E on the card he was given.

LOL, I remember Rush alluding to that. And after 8 yrs of ALgore, whose father was one of the biggest racists in the Senate, and another 8 of Joe Biteme, they say Dan Quayle is stooopid?

He’d be good at State. Clarence Thomas would be good at Justice. All the Clinton victims could work at a domestic violence unit in the WH. Not being Facetious. We need to rub their face in their wrongdoing and Trump could do it. Would he? Katherine Harris(Fla). Kevin Starr-maybe not. Hire another Oral Surgeon to run Energy. Mark Furman for Secret Service. Grorge Zimmerman?

Dan Quayle as Secretary of State could be a real good idea. He knows the historical context of the mess US policy has made of the world.

It would never have occurred to me until you suggested it, but it makes very good sense; another option would be Sec of Defense, with Bolton as Sec of State, but I would be very happy with either.

And you got crickets from the media when Obama pronounced corpsman as “corpseman” multiple times.

After giving the human gaff machine Biden pass after pass, the media owes Quayle an apology.

in the capacity of my employment I have met Dan Quayle a number of times, from the height of the Tea Party days through more recently. I have never been shy, in the few minutes that we had together to just jump right in and ask him about political things. Dan Quayle is really a good man, he listens to you, he looks you straight in the eye, and he offers his opinions in a response in a very normal non arrogant friendly manor.I have gotten to tell him personally that I had voted for him in the past and I regretted that he was not able to run for president himself. We could have done far worse. The fact that he is now coming out in favor of Donald Trump Kama even though many of his former associates & peers at the highest levels of the Republican Party are violently against Trump , increases my respect for mr. Quayle greatly(again). To me this is a very significant endorsement. I consider Dan Quayle a great American.

I was taught “potatoes” when young. It is an alternate spelling now but I remember it as the main spelling.

the whole affair I thought was a gas job on Dan Quayle.

Quayle’s only failure was being a policy wonk who could not voice his policies well enough to silence the vitriolic critics who wanted to make fun of his hair. He needed charisma, which many political nerds lack.
