Donald Trump isn’t funny anymore, and we all have to stop him
Washington Post ^ | 2-29-2016 | Michael R. Strain

Posted on 02/29/2016 6:09:35 AM PST by Citizen Zed

The president is our head of state — our chief public representative, a living symbol of the nation. However he would actually govern, Trump is simply unfit to hold this office.

He called for a Muslim registry. He wants to send Syrian refugees back to Syria. He has publicly employed misogyny and has publicly enumerated lists of women with whom he would like to have sex. He has mocked the disabled. He admires Vladimir Putin. He might have ties to organized crime. From the start, his campaign has appealed to the darker angels of our nature, generating support by attacking the vulnerable and rousing fear and suspicion of the other. It is no surprise that years before the 2016 campaign, Trump was a leading figure stirring suspicion that President Obama was not born in the United States.

Trump is deeply morally offensive. Why would we assume he would not continue to be that way as president?

His campaign spokeswoman, Katrina Pierson, tweeted the following in 2012: “Perfect Obama’s dad born in Africa, Mitt Romney’s dad born in Mexico. Any pure breeds left?” National Review wrote about this last month, arguing that Pierson’s “nativism includes a bizarre streak of anti-Catholicism,” among other ugliness. Why does Trump continue to employ her? Why would we assume his White House press secretary would be any different?

And don’t forget this weekend’s atrocious incident in which Trump initially declined to condemn the Ku Klux Klan.

The guy said he’s going to vote for the Dem. Try reading it more closely. And yes, when it comes to Hillary, it is critical to deny her the White House. If you like Obama, you’re going to love Hillary. Someone an order of magnitude more devious than Obama.

Which part that won’t support Donald Trump and primaries, that is the purpose of primaries to select the candidate that you support. Or the fact that that I may have to vote for a man who is and has stated that he is mostly a Democrat?

How many editorials did the WaPo issue against Bill Clinton's behavior while in the White House, and calling upon him to step down?

You said you were going to vote Democrat in the general - that means Hillary. Funny, I don’t see Trump’s core positions this primary as being that of a Democrat.

You are correct - it was so poorly written I couldn’t tell what the heck he was saying.

94 million unemployed, 46 million on food stamps, millions forced into part time jobs, and millions forced into obamacare, do not give rat’s behind if Trump is funny or not.

I didn't think the media ever thought Trump was funny.

They sure loved the ratings Trump brought them. If anyone thinks Trump will ever act more presidential than he is now, I have some prime West Texas desert to sell you.

Let me restate that of Google Voice translate some things oddly. If Donald Trump is the candidate I will be forced to vote for a man who is a Democrat .

What is the readership of the WaPo anymore? Wait until Weds and they have a good look at reality.

No, the current occupant I suspect, according to this egg head, is fully competent and not an embarrassment to us all.
