He certainly didn't have the work experience, the political resume, or the public service. If you can tell me precisely why he was elected- beyond his skin color- I'd love to hear it.<br /><br />Brian<br /><br />Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009623520148094685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-56541727752914375902016-12-13T07:50:33.416-07:002016-12-13T07:50:33.416-07:00btw, your comment (i can't remember exactly wh...btw, your comment (i can't remember exactly where i read it on your blog) to the effect that if Obama wasn't black he would have been removed from office is nothing else than crass racism, something which disqualifies it's exponent from civil, fair and intelligent discourse.<br />mel bernstinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584607943021637236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-71179884793838302582016-12-12T17:19:14.286-07:002016-12-12T17:19:14.286-07:00damn, i liked some of what you wrote. your style i...damn, i liked some of what you wrote. your style is (obviously crafted) down-to-earth-educated, but fresh. (not quite as nuanced as Proust) ... but what you say about Trump has me flummoxed. i am disappointed. Trump is a self-absorbed nincompoop (and please don't say that he must be smart because he made a lot of money). He tilts heavily towards the most corrupt politician in the world who has gutted his country's economy (need i say who?). he feeds the workers the lines that excite them while bringing into government the same usual suspects. he jiggles all that is worst in the sordid side of US society and history: racism, jingoism, rich entitlement, know-nothingism, along with a chidish arrogance about all his (self) alleged prowess (in everything). basically, a creep.<br />mel bernstinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584607943021637236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-78822706634126273442016-03-14T08:19:34.626-06:002016-03-14T08:19:34.626-06:00I was waiting for the hammer to drop on Trump but ...I was waiting for the hammer to drop on Trump but you've summed up my reasons for supporting him as well. He's a very sharp guy who has been planning this for a while according to a recent NYT's piece.<br /><br />I say when you're drawing fire and Trump is drawing lots of it from the GOPe, the CofC, and just about the entire REgressive left, you know you're over the target. He's directly over the target and dropping 1,000 pounders.<br /><br />As he says, he had a great life and sure doesn't need the grief but he loves this country and I believe him.<br /><br />I'll tell you one thing, Mrs Trump is going to be a huge improvement in the 1st Lady department.<br />MMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
