It’s beyond debate that Donald Trump is unfit to be president

By Editorial Board September 25 at 7:17 PM

DEMOCRAT HILLARY CLINTON and Republican Donald Trump will debate on national television for the first time Monday night, and the stakes could not be higher. The presidency and, by extension, the country’s future — maybe the world’s — could hinge on what they say and how they say it.

Or so we have been told — in breathless pre-event speculation about everything from whether the moderator, NBC’s Lester Holt, will intervene to correct a candidate who strays from the truth, to whether one candidate or the other will be able to goad his or her opponent into a campaign-altering gaffe before an audience expected to reach 100 million.

Permit us to dissent from this conventional wisdom, vigorously. Yes, Monday night’s clash, and two additional debates to follow, will add drama to the election, and a bit more data to the massive pile of it already available to voters. In a fundamental sense, however, there is nothing much at stake, or shouldn’t be, because there is not much more to learn: Mr. Trump has amply demonstrated his unworthiness to occupy the Oval Office. It’s beyond his capacity in the upcoming 90-minute question-and-answer sessions to reverse or even substantially modify that conclusion.

And the leftist media wonders why the average American is giving them the finger. This false propaganda article is further proof that the globalist left should be fought against with the same passion reserved against ISIS. The ideology of both deserves the trash heap of history.

I am familiar with the incident, and you are right.

Imagine knowing a couple like that in your community. They’d both be in prison.

Today one of them is running for president, and actually has a remote chance of winning.

The absurdity of this situation is astoundingly bad.

Americans are more likely to have their lives disrupted by the globalist left and the media than ISIS...

This is why they will lose. It’s like with global warming, they can’t acknowledge any differing viewpoint. Meanwhile, they are nuts, including their inability to deal with any disagreement.

...he has insulted, acted out, lied and countenanced violence...

1. He didn't hire someone to insult people his spouse raped and assaulted.

2. He didn't get his staff kill, then say, "What difference does it make now?"

3. He tells the truth, and she lies about everything.

4. Her followers riot outside his events in real time, and he is the one being take to task for violence?

Does this paper know anything about what has transpired to this point? Evidently not.

“It’s beyond debate that Donald Trump is unfit to be president “

Well, that’s it. No more needs to be said. It’s beyond debate.

“I actually still buy this rag (Washington Post) on Sundays, for the coupons and to line my pigeon cages. I’ll have to stop even that.”

No need to do that.
Just go online. All those Weekly Ads are there.

I dropped the Post a month ago.
After two calls, two letters asking me why I quit and offering me below cost subscription rates, and learning that a lot of others did likewise, it’s amazing that they maintain this delusional, irrational editorial policy.

Once I found that I could read Dilbert and Pearls Before Swine everyday at their websites, I realized there was no justifiable reason to continue the Post.

Trump needs to be magnanimous and suggest she be allowed to sit at the first sign of wobbling.

The National Enquirer is more accurate.

He’s not Hillary and he hasn’t donated money to the MSM so hence he is obviously NOT fit!

The moderators in the debates are going to go after Trump so often, he will have to interrupt them to give Hillary a chance to answer a question before she falls asleep and collapses.

Hi;

You can also buy coupons from clipping services - get exactly what you want, very quickly.

But I still need newspaper for my birds :-(

I’m researching buying raw newsprint paper.

It’s beyond debate that the Washington Post is a dinosaur media outlet that is in sharp decline and headed for the ash heap of history.

Hillary! is a criminal, and probably a traitor, with no real accomplishments. As things go, she even an incompetent criminal - she has been caught repeatedly, only to be protected by the media, her husband, her position in the government, and the corruption of that same government.

And they think TRUMP is not fit for President?

After tonight, I expect this to be the new media meme, and it will get louder and LOUDER.

“Trump is UNFIT! We can’t ALLOW someone like that to be President!!’

The Academic Socialists have NEVER given up power peacefully, without bloodshed. NOT ONCE IN HISTORY, folks.

There are too many powerful people facing long prison terms if Trump gets elected, too many rich and powerful people facing the end of the gravy train.

And plenty of useful idiots out there.

It’s sad, because even though it has leaned liberal in all of my lifetime, it was once a great paper with *some* scruples.

At this point, all I’ll miss is ‘Book World’ and ‘Mutts’ - and birdcage liners.
