people are very under educated when it comes to what powers and restrictions a POTUS actually has. many believe its like a dictatorship where they single-handedly make everything they want to happen happen.
there were misinformed who didnt want to work and thought Obama was the ticket, I liken their ignorance to those who were misinformed and thought Trump making america great, would by synonymous with finally identifying it as a white nation officially.
It will be interesting to see if anything will be learned by the past elections, and if candidates with real qualifications will run on the actual part of the process they plan to play (and how), rather than promises built on a faulty premise of saviorism by any one politician.
I mainly agree with this, except that you Dems dont understand your history.
You say Trump has no real qualifying experience, yet you say Obama has qualifying experience and look what happened during his term
Before him Bush had experience, a Governor of a State, son of a President/Vice President and war hero, how did he do?
Before him Clinton, he had experience as a governor and how did he do?
Before him, Bush Sr, Reagan's V.P
Before him, Reagan, A governor.
Carter, A governor.
Ford, a million years in congress
Nixon, Eisenhower's VP and a million years in Congress.
many qualified presidents before Trump and yet you want to judge Trump because he is unorthodox.
That is the difference between the informed and uninformed , Informed people dont believe one man or woman in office can fix a thing we just deal with the what is in front of us.
Uniformed people believes that whoever is in office can change things because they are too uniformed to know any better, It doesn't matter if youre a conservative or liberal, ignorance runs in both camps.
I am not "DEMS" I speak for myself, that's one.
I understand history as well as any, that's two.
Yes, look at what happened under Obama, we avoided the path to depression we were clearly on.
I dont judge Trump on mere 'unorthodox'. I judge him on what HE displays personally regarding his ignorance and unpreparedness and his documented past regarding tendency toward civil service or contribution.
Clinton led a pretty good economy (surplus more so than others since or before) so ... not sure your point there.
and again, experience has never been a GUARANTEE of the job that will be done, like with ANY employment, but it has been the minimal EXPECTATION.
I agree, informed people dont believe one man or woman can fix things, yet informed people do believe that when a group made up many times over of 'one man or woman' are working together, things do get done, so that 'one man or woman' does generally have certain roles expected in THEIR PART.
