It's not fact based, it's style based.

You could not be more wrong, is based entirely on the factual biography of Donald Trump which reveals him to be a scurrilous human being-who not surprisingly also has a disreputable "style".

I do not understand the resort to relativism made so often by Trump supporters. If we had the country at risk for eight years under Barack Obama that is hardly a reason to extend that risk by another four years with some other unqualified man.

Cruz supporter here, yet with an eye cast on Trump. Other than your negative personal opinions of DT, in what way is he unqualified to be President? I think he is, if nominated and the people elect him. And yes, I believe Barry was not legally qualified except by virtue of forged papers.

Who, by your reckoning, IS qualified? What makes him/her qualified?

This morning I was considering the various candidates’ resumes. On paper, Kasich is really well qualified: Governor of a big (swing) state, former Chairman of the House Budged Committee. But do I want him sitting in the Oval Office? Apparently the NYT does.

Huckabee, Gilmore and Bush completed their terms as governor of their states, so they have that executive experience going for them. Whether their records warrant moving up to the White House is another question.

Both Cruz and Rubio are in their FIRST TERM in the U.S. Senate. Just like Obama. They’ve been running for POTUS since they arrived in DC. Or before, actually. What has either actually accomplished in the U.S. Senate?

iIck Santorum served 2 terms in the U.S. House of Reps and 2 in the U.S. Senate before being defeated in an unusually strong Democrat election cycle.

Hillary was re-elected to the U.S. Senate, where she accomplished little, then left to assume SoS, as another stepping stone to the White House.

Bernie Sanders was reelected to the U.S. Senate. He would not finish out his term if elected. Not too sure what he’s actually accomplished in the Senate, except to caucus with the Dems to help achieve their agenda.

Carly Fiorina’s tenure at HP is controversial. Some say she did well; others not so much. I’m not qualified to judge on that. She has never served in public office, although she ran as a Republican in a totally Democrat controlled state.

Dr. Carson actually completed a full career as a pediatric neurosurgeon, then retired before turning to politics. He has never served in public office.

Donald Trump built a multi-billion dollar real estate/business enterprise before turning to politics. He has never served in public office.

Is getting elected a “qualification?” Is getting elected, then not completing the term for which one has campaigned a ‘qualification?’ If not, we have a number of candidates who really are not qualified.
