After bellowing on demand for several years at MSNBC, America's version of the Russia Today television network, Ed Schultz starts work at the actual RT next week. But following his fair and balanced commentary about Donald Trump on last night's Alan Colmes radio show, Schultz might just as easily fit in at Fox News. [...]

"... I don't think enough attention has been paid to actually how Trump would function as president. Let's put policies aside for a moment. Let's put aside what he believes or what he might do -- how would he do it? I think he would function very well as president of the United States. I think he's used to making decisions. I think that he can manage teams. He can put the fear of God in people to make sure that they perform and he'll make cuts and he'll do things that, he'll, I believe that he would be a very good manager and a very good ... [... ] But I mean, I think that he could easily function as president of the United States. ...

Maybe, just maybe, there are patriotic people who love the US across the political spectrum. They know the country's existence is in jeopardy, and we can't have DC business as usual. Such people just might be deciding that a four-year "time out" with a President Trump to start turning things around just might be the best way to save the US.

Not everybody who disagrees with our vision is a traitor who wants the US to fail.

Russian government likes Trump.
Putin praised Trump.
They probably gave Schultz the songbook and he’s started early.

No...it's not even close. As bad as Glenn Beck is, he doesn't come close to Ed Schultz in the lunacy factor.

Sure about that? Think about the nature of the major disagreements with “our vision”, presuming US conservatism with respect to being true to the Constitution.

No, his narcistic management style would go over in a publicly held corp like a poot in church.

Most recent example I remember is T.Boone Pickens when he had to sell out to save Mesa. He lasted about 30 days.

His public persona is much more brash and outspoken than most any publicly held company would prefer, no doubt, they’re very risk-averse. How, though, do you know that his management style is narcissistic? His employees, both current and former, seem to hold him in high regard.

Most major corporations are poorly run and depend on competitive restrictions such as regulation or economies of scale to persist. They are almost pathologically unenterprising. Most would not tolerate a true entrepreneur as CEO.
The model of this is when Apple, back when it was saddled with highly qualified professional management at the behest of the major investors, threw out Steve Jobs.

Do you think for one second that any employee is ever gouing to speak out about him after seeing how malicious he is over seemingly inconsequential.

Most corporations are run by accoutants that know nothing about products, sales or marketing.

I think he would have acquired a reputation for being that way among past, current and future employees, if he were, and that would be broadly known even if individuals feared to speak out. He’s reputedly a very good, generous and fair boss, though. Sometimes public persona and behind the scenes behavior are not the same thing.

Sometimes, the best insights of a candidate’s capabilities or a political party’s problems and strengths, comes from a strategist/representative from the opposite party, where there there is no agenda in play, just a simple pragmatic back and forth discussion. I think this is what Schultze is doing here; he will probably oppose every single thing The Donald does but he is simply looking at his history and his skill set, and making the point that Donald Trump is a good manager, very smart and effective, and can get things done; which is entirely true, no matter what you think of the man.
