From Whitewater to Benghazi: A Clinton Scandal Primer

These so-called "murders and suicides" have been debunked SO many times that anyone who still gives the Clinton Death List an iota of credence is too far gone to be worth talking to.

Exactly. But that's what people like that do. They list everything they can think of and then call the person evil even though most of it is either false or way overblown.

I find it absolutely hilarious that you accuse the Democrats (and only the Democrats) of generating debt to enrich "their friends" when the previous Republican administration (with a fully compliant GOP-led Congress) did exactly that.

With the Republican plan the nation was intended to gain something, that is, a better economy. Or recovery from the financial crisis. I'm not seeing what positive things democrat largesse does for the nation as a whole. Seems to me it's just a drain. Obama's stimulus package was supposed to boost the economy. It did not. It went to teacher's unions, ACORN and the like.

If it were only his association to the NYC crime sector, Trump would still be a poor choice for President. The man strike against him is his total lack of experience, however.

I don't agree. The office of president requires more knowledge and the ability to handle more things than any one person can do. The ability to surround yourself with the right people and let them do their job has always proven to be the best method of running a country. Stalin took a beating and would never have pushed back Germany until he let his generals fight the war. Hitler was his own undoing as well. Even most owners of companies I worked for did much better when they let their supervisors run each department. At the level of president delegating to qualified people will get more done more efficiently. Trump has spent his life at the top delegating and leading. Of course Hillary is the better puppet. The country need s a strong leader and Hillary is not it. The current mess we are in is a direct result of poor leadership.

The problem I see is twofold. First, the man selecting the team must be able to judge, what they need to be good at. Trump does not know enough to be able to. Secondly, the President needs to know enough to point the direction in which the team should develop strategy. Trump has show a grave lack in this competence on too many topics vital to American society.

The risk we would be taking is just too big. We were lucky with Obama. He did a lot of damage, but we survived his dangerous inexperience. Trump has the potential under present circumstances in the world out there that Obama will leave behind to ruin us. This does not mean that none of the policy changes he proposes are good. Some are really quite refreshing and would help the country quite a bit. But the magnitude of the risk is just too bad a bet.

At what point do you think Trump lost his ability to delegate and surround himself with the right people.

He has done that all of h is life in business, so why not now?

That is the question I would like answered.

My experience seems to tell me that you can be hard put and find yourself in very hot water, if you start delegating in areas you have no idea about. You see, business is fine and complicated, but it relies on a quite different set of mind than foreign affairs, defense or even economics and deals with totally different information and information processing.
