New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio pushed for heavy scrutiny in choosing the Democratic party's nominee, arguing on Friday that they would face a "smart" opponent in President Trump.

"Donald Trump's smart. I don't agree with a thing he says but he is smart -- he's tough," the 2020 hopeful said while appearing on "The View." Co-host Sunny Hostin seemed confused by his characterization of the president.

"You think he's smart?" she asked. De Blasio responded by saying that he thought Trump was "strategically" smart. After Hostin opined that Trump was "impulsive," co-host Meghan McCain asked whether de Blasio was trying to say that Trump was "crazy like a fox."

I’m always fascinated by leftists that seriously think he’s not smart. It’s like he baits them with his speech style.

Trumps brilliance is recognizing that communism sucks.

John McCain, the kept man, and his little trust fund princess will never get it.

Dwight Eisenhower, who organized the D-Day invasion and liberation of Europe was muddleheaded and unable to speak coherent sentences. President Reagan was an amiable dunce. George H. W. Bush, who flew combat missions off aircraft carriers was a wimp. Ford who played college football for two national championships was inherently clumsy, his son GWB who flew a single-seat jet fighter was borderline retarded and President Trump who has established a world-wide presence in golf and hotels, is lazy and stupid. Are we noticing a pattern yet?

Meanwhile, JFK presided over a ‘New Camelot, Jimmy Carter was the most descent man to ever be President, Lovable Bill Clinton who could play his sax on national TV, Nobel-winning Obama, a ‘god of all things’, and Hillary Clinton absolutely the most qualified human to ever run for President.
Again, noticing a pattern?

“....his son GWB who flew a single-seat jet fighter ..”

That was difficult to fly and had a reputation for killing pilots!

<< Co-host Sunny Hostin seemed confused by his characterization of the president. >>

The only head-scratcher here is that DeBlasio uttered something rational.

The F-102 Delta Dagger flown by G.W. Bush was known as a Widowmaker.

Engine problems during Takeoff with no hope of recovery.

Then again, the F-104 Starfighter wasn’t just a Widowmaker, it was a Serial Killer.

Yeah, we palmed the F104 off on the Luftwaffe. Made no friends doing that! Killed about as many German pilots as the RAF!

1. Compared to the Hosta and Viewers of the View, Forest Gump was the smartest person on the planet.

2. You can become a Millionaire and Rich being Stupid and or a Crook, see Gary Winnek and John Kerry. However it is nearly impossible to become a Billionaire if you are Stupid or a Crook.

Leftists ALWAYS think they are the smartest people in the room and anybody who disagrees with them is stupid (and racist). This includes those sows on The Spew.

Leftists believe that anyone that does not agree with them is stupid.

Many believe themselves to be so smart, that they should dictate how others should live their lives.

The F-104 is still one of the coolest looking 60’s era Planes ever built.

It was designed by Kelly Johnson at Lockheed, the first Jet to achieve Mach 2 in level flight.

Doh! I was planning to just use the two Bushes, but then thought about how all of the Republican Presidents were treated and then started listing the post war Presidents in order. I inadvertently left out Nixon, who was considered a thug by the press long before he became President. Can’t have someone outing communists, can we?

The ‘smart set’ have ridiculed every Republican President of the 20th and 21st century.

Things as I see them will only get worse as you point out the past.

I enjoy as an oldster naming all the presidents and VP’s since FDR/Truman. I do it for my own amusement and am amazed that the only time a Democrat/Republican has followed a Democrat/Republican in the office of President is when there was a death (or resignation as RMN)- FDR/Truman and then Truman on his own on through our time now. D - R - D - R - D whether one or two terms but we’ve only had 2 one termers, I think - Carter and GHWB not counting Ford.

Keeps me alert - so why am I ready for bed now? Rough day.
