Doug McIntyre: Donald J. Trump: Not my candidate but my president (Barf alert)
Los Angeles Daily News ^ | January 14, 2017 | Doug McIntyre

Posted on 01/14/2017 3:47:03 PM PST by EveningStar

This week our country gets a new president, our 45th, Donald J. Trump.

Many people spark to Mr. Trump's blunt "If you hit me I hit back twice as hard" style. They find him refreshing.

I don't find Donald Trump refreshing.

I think he's the most ill-prepared and ill-suited person ever elevated to the office. With that said, I hope he turns out to be as "amazing", "fantastic", "terrific", "awesome", and "really, really, really good" as he claims he will be.

I don't root for presidents to fail.

I didn't root for George W. Bush to fail or Barack Obama. I'm not going to root for Donald J. Trump to fail. If I cut off my nose my glasses fall on the floor. They're no good to me down there. He was not my candidate, but like it or not, he is my president.

And that worries me greatly.

I generally like Doug McIntyre. He has a good morning talk show, and got RedEye Radio started, but he’s wrong here about Trump, who has been practically training to be President all his life.

Unlike that Muslim Mulatto we've been saddled with these last eight LONG years.

To me it’s real simple:

If I made up a list with a thousand names of who I’d like to be President, Donald Trump’s name wouldn’t be on it.

If I made up a list with a ten million names of who I’d like to be President, Hillary Clintooon’s name wouldn’t be on it.

Hence, I voted for Trump; I have high hopes for Trump, but whatever the heck he does, we really had no alternative so I ain’t going to worry about it!

"I think he's the most ill-prepared and ill-suited person ever elevated to the office."

More ill-suited and ill-prepared than a community organizer who began running for the White House before his Senate seat was even warm?

A guy who never even held a job in the private sector? A man who never ran a lemonade stand, let alone an actual business with thousands of employees?

Doug, you're mentally deficient if you think a man who made himself a billionaire, and who grew a world class international business from the ground up, isn't prepared to handle the job of Chief Executive of a vast and sprawling enterprise such as the U.S. government.

It's what he does for a living, moron.

Because of that, he's probably better suited and more well-prepared to handle the duties of president than all of his predecessors.

The founders expected that ordinary people would become president, that congressmen would be ordinary people and that they would return to their private life when finished serving.

The idea that one must be a professional pol to serve as president was completely contrary to their thinking.

By the standard of the twit who thinks Trump is unprepared, George Washington was not prepared to be the general who defeated Cornwallis. Neither was General Greene nor any of the others.

A bunch of farmers. Not smart enough to fight, much less to form a government that would be the best to live under for over 200 years.

You don’t find Donald Trump refreshing? Then McIntyre is clearly not paying attention.

He whines about President Elect Trump saying Hillary Clinton guilty as hell. Hey, buddy, Trump didn’t make her guilty. She did it herself and it’s right out in the open where we can all see it. Did you not see her perjury in Congress? We did. Did you not see Clinton Cash? Everybody else did. Did you not know Hillary’s long history of crime? There’s 10-20 books out there detailing them. Stop whining!

He was apologetically, slightly anti Clinton in the ‘90’s.

I will remind people that Doug voted for Obama because he did not like the Republican.

Stupid.
