"I think the problem with Trump is his massive ego."

Uhhhh, what? Name me one person who ever considered "running for president" whose ego wasn't already so huge that they actually felt they should RUN FOR PRESIDENT!!!! M

Your non-argument proves your handle, blather.

“Your non-argument proves your handle, blather. “

Very few politicians have a TV program where the whole point is yelling at somebody, “you’re fired!”

Yes, it takes an ego to run for president. The job also requires it, to some extent. But, as in any population sample already selected for some characteristic, there are outliers. He’s so far away from the rest of the field that he defines a new category.

Another danger of that, is that he won’t play nice when he needs to. When LBJ wanted his Great Society passed, he invited (If I recall correctly) Everett Dirksen to his office and cut a deal with him to get his agenda through. Can you picture Trump doing that? I see Trump as an “I won the election” guy more in Obama’s mold.

But my biggest complaint is the support Trump has given Democrats on issues like health care.
