Trump is a mile wide in rhetoric, but his depth of policy understanding is almost nonexistent. When the discussion at the last debate turned to specifics about foreign policy, he stood silently. Eventually the shouting and dramatics have to give way to serious debate about the issues that count.
Just give me the wall and shut down bloody carbon/global warming demands and I will be just fine with Trump.
Cruz is my first but if he doesn’t propose a prettier wall may just slide over.
I know...it was pretty embarrassing as Trump knew he wasn’t equipped to handle himself. Though he should have been....
I believe he thought he could win with just his rallying cries, and the people helped to make him think that equally so....it’s been a good ride and nobody is more surprised then Trump that he became so hot so fast. His body language and expressions showed this many times.....
But I recall in this last debate he had notes which were a total source of frustration to him as he fumbled through them trying to maintain what he wanted to say and cover the topics of his notes....he couldn’t...got three out and these were vague at best...and was so happy the moderator said lets do Q&A.......the relief he had was obvious....but even then he didn’t do well.....he was thrown off his game from pretty much the get go.....it was sad to watch really.
“Trump is a mile wide in rhetoric, but his depth of policy understanding is almost nonexistent.”
Trump approaches these issues differently. He’s fundamentally a manager. That makes some people uneasy, but it’s really his greatest asset.
There are successful CEO’s who are able to successfully manage a tech company, for example, and then leave and have just as much success running a company in a totally different field.
They’re successful, not because they know everything about computers, cars, etc., but because they’re quick learners, able to size up problems quickly, know how to surround themselves with competent advisers, and are able to grasp the essentials of a subject matter quickly, and solve problems. This may be a better qualification for a President than being an expert on any one subject matter. policy wonk.
There have been 2 debates so far. Which one contained any serious debate about the issues?
What I saw on both occasions was a media driven food fight. Did I miss something?
