Yeah, too bad about presidents with law degrees like Lincoln, John Adams and Nixon (who on foreign policy was touted to be one of our best).
And too bad about Reagan who had zero business experience and was an actor.
Lots of “great” businessmen have been in the WH: Hoover, Carter, and Teddy Roosevelt, a Republican who promoted progressivism.
Men from all careers and walks of life have been in the WH with varying degrees of success and failure. To say that someone will be a fine president because of his business career is illogical.
Trump might or might not be a good president. He is murky on some of his positions and we have no record of votes to look at. He is a born again Conservative and there is a lot of faith placed in him that may or may not be deserved.
I think Cruz someday will make a great president. He’s too young. Sorry. Like Nixon he needs to be under the tutelage of someone like Trump.
We can try and find similarities between the present and the past. Doesn’t work that way. Sometimes it’s the times make the person.
Obama squandered the greatest opportunity to unite the USA and the world, instead he ends up being an empty chair that proves we can put someone in that office for 8 years, and still come out of it okay, eventually. We have another 8 years like the last, then our society is over.
Trump remembers the good years of our country. THe before Kennedy killing. He was influenced by people who were in the second world war, who knew people from the first, and maybe our civil war.
I like Cruz a lot. He’s by far the second best in the field, but he puts me to sleep compared to the energy Trump has.
My brother thinks the guy who can debate the best should be president. How about the guy who can persuade the best, who knows he’s right and goes with it.
Trump is batting pretty close to 1000 with me.
BTW, I don’t really disagree with you.
