Trump, for good of America, get out of race
CNN ^ | December 1, 2015 | Jennifer Granholm

Posted on 12/02/2015 5:39:48 AM PST by McGruff

Even though some say Hillary Clinton would benefit if you were to be the GOP nominee, for the good of the country I want you to get out of the race. Your lies and vitriolic rhetoric are causing irreparable damage to the nation.

In "The Leadership Challenge," a best-selling tome on leadership by James Kouzes and Barry Posner, 89% of people across the globe identify honesty as the most important characteristic of a leader. It seems counterintuitive, then, that despite spewing lies every week and managing to offend people of every race, creed and color, you have still managed to sit atop the Republican presidential candidate polls for five months. In Trump World, you can fabricate historical events to falsely embellish your golf course, or worse, spread lies about a nonexistent video that you claim showed thousands of Muslims celebrating in New Jersey after the twin towers fell.

LMAO! Makes me like Trump even more when they get hysterical like this.

There's millions more who have the same opinion.

The pundits were melting down this morning on Morning Joe. They just can't get it through their noggins that we aren't buying their bull$hit anymore. From "Read My Lips..." to "If you like your doctor you can keep him", to the Benghazi video, to the GOPe's war on the TEA Party, etc.

Steve Schmidt actually surprised me this morning. When he said we're living in a post-fact world, I thought he was going to go full bore on Trump. Instead, he and Joe brought up the "hands up" protests after the death of Michael Brown last year.

Interesting that while Trump signed the "allegiance pledge", Republican consultants are publicly saying they'll never vote for Trump.

Editors note: Jennifer Granholm is the former governor and former attorney general of Michigan. She's currently a senior research fellow at UC Berkeley [Berkeley]. She also serves as senior advisor to Correct The Record, a super-PAC supporting Hillary Clinton for president in 2016. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the author.

Pretty much sums up how worthless this screed is.

Exactly. Former Governor Sarah Palin should respond in kind ... and say ... "Clinton, for the good of America, get out of the race!"

LOL, big Hillary supporter attacks Trump claiming that his dishonesty is causing grave damage to the nation.

It would be somewhat logical if she was speaking from the perspective of Hillary’s dishonesty benefitting the nation, which is probably what she believes. But her opening paragraph sets the framework of honesty in general, not whether it is damaging or beneficial.

If Trump stops illegal immigration he stops their master plan to destroy America. They are so close they can taste total victory.

Nothing partisan here, Jennifer. You ignorant slut, as they used to say on SNL.

Pfft.

Yes, and the big chickens are yet to roost. But they will. My hope is that it won;t be too messy, but what the heck, we need to be ready for just about anything.

Keep it up Mr. Trump, do not relent even for a moment!

If the Democrats did not fear a Trump nomination/Presidency, they wouldn’t be writing such articles asking him to step down. If they knew he was beatable, they would be propping him up and supporting a nomination.

Lies and vitriole.

Let’s see. If you like your health plan, you can keep it. That was a lie, but not by Donald Trump.

People cling to their guns and religion. That is vitriole, but not by Donald Trump.

She’s actually a naturalized US citizen, originally from Canada. Explains a lot.

There used to be an old, somewhat long, joke with the punchline: “We can take a Canadian, put her into the Governors office and have the entire state looking for work two weeks later”

“89% of people across the globe identify honesty as the most important characteristic of a leader”

Hitlery: “It was an anti-muslim video that sparked the attacks in Benghazi.” “I talked to a recruiter about joining the Marines when I was 28.” “I don’t have any idea how Rose law firm billing records showed up in my sitting room.”

The UNIPARTY needs to understand:

TRUMP IS YOUR FAULT.

Had any Republican been actually conservative, or if the Dems had not sold out their constituencies to the Cheap Labor Express, then Trump could not exist.

Trump (Populism) is exactly what the elites get when they sell out the citizenry.

Quitcherbitchen and eat your own s***.
