Maybe he did fine in the business world. No one cares for instance if he hired a contractor to build one of his buildings that may have beat a wife here or there. But you can’t have someone like that in a public role.

Very true and just how much "input" he had re hires, in business, nobody really knows.

I sadly gave him far too much credit, from the beginning ( when he threw his hat into the ring ), based on my own interest/knowledge in politics and my background, assuming that he, like me, would know. HE DIDN'T & DOESN'T! :-(

And for all of the people who keep posting that he's "playing 4D chess", how "brilliant" he is, etc., they are dumber than he is, when it comes to his "goofs" and naivite, and THAT is saying a LOT !
