Churchill was the greatest man of the 20th Century. He was everything a great leader needs to be. Sure, he had some minor faults. One of his greatest traits was that he did not mince words and was unafraid to to make difficult decisions.

What Churchill did not have was any significant character flaws, unlike Donald Trump.

It’s strange to see all of this concern for Carson by Trump supporters. If anything Carson should be more angry with Trump for his character assassination and Carson’s subsequent decline in the polls.

The rest of it was a result of social media jumping on a CNN report and the foolish mistake by the Carson campaign to put out anything that would give the impression he was not going to NH or SC but heading home for whatever reason.

Churchill WAS the greatest man of the 20th century!

He also WAS riddled with major flaws!

He was responsible for the disaster at Gallipoli.... he afterward donned his officers livery and went to fight with his regiment in the trenches...hoping to die as those he sent to Gallipoli died.

He often made subordinates burst into tears he was so abusive.

Was likely what we call BiPolar now.... his “black dog” of depression.

Drank to excess.

He could brook no disagreement... would listen to no advice.

He had a brilliant sharp wit and used it often to cut opponents in half. His speeches from the benches are amazing reading. The stuff he pulled out make Trump look like Noel Coward.

He saved the world!
