The son of an illiterate, impoverished, refugee dishwasher through merit and hard-won achievement becomes the national debate champion while an undergraduate at Princeton, law review at Harvard Law school, and clerk to the Chief Justice of the United States is tainted because he is an "Ivy League lawyer"

The key word here is "lawyer." It doesn't matter what a person's background is, when they go to law school, they are taught to parse words and say big, long, confusing statements that mean nothing at all. They are taught to win cases not by getting to the facts and the truth, but by devising the best argument, shoving truth and justice into the sewer.

We don't need yet another lawyer politician making laws to complicate our lives while exempting themselves from the consequences. We need a guy who understands the consequences of having the government run by weaselly lawyers. We also need a guy who understands economics, because it is clear that lawyers have no clue about it.

By your vituperation against lawyers one must conclude that John Adams (contributor to the Declaration of Independence, author of the Massachusetts Constitution, defender of British soldiers of the Boston Massacre), James Madison (father of the Constitution), Abraham Lincoln author of the Gettysburg Address, his Second Inaugural Address, signer of the Emancipation Proclamation) were all unqualified to be president of the United States by virtue of the fact that they were lawyers.

But Donald Trump is a model of clear thinking and precise language about matters like abortion.
