I believe people are in denial about the power of social media and too embarrassed to admit that they fell for it, whether it was they thought they could vote from their phone or that Hillary gave birth to alien babies. Voters need to smarten the fuck up.
Whatever makes you feel better
Edit - I guess GHWB is pretty close.
Why do you think he was 1 and done?
Yup - that lead to Ross Perot....and that gave the election to Clinton.hippiemom = goodness0 -
Yes, agreed. He burned his voting base, which it seems may have been the right thing to do for the country. Something that Trump has made clear he is not going to do. GHWB was involved in a lot of shit in his day as well and I think a lot of it was catching up to him and he changed his positions to become VP to begin with. I don't want to derail this too much, but I would not say he was terrific on foreign policy simply for how he handled Saddam Hussein and the whole Iraq situation. Terrible. Overall, he did some great things, but also had his skeletons and deservedly was voted out after 1 term.The Juggler said:

That depends. Is he going against the most qualified debater in the history of the 5th grade?Halifax2TheMax said:
I would never consider Team Trump Treason a "good" public speaker. He'd lose a 5th grade debate.Ledbetterman10 said:It doesn't even matter who's "qualified" for the job. Look at Clinton in '92, Obama in '08, and Trump in '16. They were all less "qualified" than their opponents. But they were all good public-speakers and they type of people that voters can become a "fan" of.
Joking aside, the guy convinced half the country that he should be the President despite being arguably the worst guy ever for the job. That's being a good public speaker. You or I may laugh at lines like "We have delivered on more promises than we've even promised!" but others are buying lines like that.
So he's a good public-speaker in the same way Hitler was is what I'm trying to say here.

Can anyone imagine the Team Trump Treason Administration handling any “crisis” of that magnitude or severity? You better hope no big shit storm occur, whether economic, political or military.

I don't know. He organized the greatest coalition in the history of the world and won that war with as little casualties as possible...tbergs said:
Yes, agreed. He burned his voting base, which it seems may have been the right thing to do for the country. Something that Trump has made clear he is not going to do. GHWB was involved in a lot of shit in his day as well and I think a lot of it was catching up to him and he changed his positions to become VP to begin with. I don't want to derail this too much, but I would not say he was terrific on foreign policy simply for how he handled Saddam Hussein and the whole Iraq situation. Terrible. Overall, he did some great things, but also had his skeletons and deservedly was voted out after 1 term.The Juggler said:
Although him going against the republican grain and increasing taxes spurred an economic boom after he left office....cincybearcat said:
GHWB was 1 and done because while he was terrific at foreign policy, he ignored domestic too long. Even though his policies domestically ended. He wasn't a good politician.tbergs said:
The only problem wrong with that comparison is that he was actually elected and wasn't that good of a candidate, but who the hell wanted Dukakis? There's a reason GHWB was 1 term and done. Hillary probably would have been the same, just like Trump should be, but we tend to hand out 2 terms like candy these days.my2hands said:

Less than the population of a college football stadium made the difference. Dems need to work harder this time around - simple as that.
I believe people are in denial about the power of social media and too embarrassed to admit that they fell for it, whether it was they thought they could vote from their phone or that Hillary gave birth to alien babies. Voters need to smarten the fuck up.
Whatever makes you feel better
Edit - I guess GHWB is pretty close.
Why do you think he was 1 and done?

Hitler was coherent, so was a MUCH better public speaker than Trump. Trump just babbles nonsensically most of the time - the transcripts of his speeches are barely understandable, because he rarely actually gets a full sentence out of his mouth. I think calling him a good public speaker on any level is ludicrous. The only reason some people respond to him speaking is because he uses hate and anger and smugness and lies and always establishes the "us vs them", and the people who respond positively are hateful and angry and smug and don't care about facts and love to have enemies. His presentation (and lack of coherency) has nothing to do with anything.Ledbetterman10 said:
That depends. Is he going against the most qualified debater in the history of the 5th grade?Halifax2TheMax said:
I would never consider Team Trump Treason a "good" public speaker. He'd lose a 5th grade debate.Ledbetterman10 said:It doesn't even matter who's "qualified" for the job. Look at Clinton in '92, Obama in '08, and Trump in '16. They were all less "qualified" than their opponents. But they were all good public-speakers and they type of people that voters can become a "fan" of.
Joking aside, the guy convinced half the country that he should be the President despite being arguably the worst guy ever for the job. That's being a good public speaker. You or I may laugh at lines like "We have delivered on more promises than we've even promised!" but others are buying lines like that.
So he's a good public-speaker in the same way Hitler was is what I'm trying to say here.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -
