If Nice Guys Finish Last, Why Not Elect a Big Meanie?

MrWonka said:
First, Nice guys don't finish last. That's just a dumb myth that losers tell themselves to deflect their own failures. There is absolutely nothing that prevents a person from being nice, and succeeding.

Second, the president is a roll model. One asshole can sadly take advantage of other people's kindness from time to time, and get away with things he shouldn't, but if we teach children that being an asshole is the best way to succeed you get a country brimming with even more assholes, nobody gets an advantage, and we end up living in a disgusting society.

Teaching children that the best way to succeed is to run from responsibility, live in a state of perpetual distraction, and to take offense at every opportunity has produced remarkable results so far. Let's continue in that direction. God forbid we stop emasculating the American male, and give him a "roll model" that knows how to take charge of things.

Trump has 150 business partners in 25 countries. He was having meals with dignitaries long before January of this year. The idea that he "lacks people skills" is a Lefty daydream - one that you seem to be having.

Wake up.

All these insults and shaming tsctics are tripe responses because your snowflake ego cant handle the fact that your opinion lost out to mine in the last election. Trump won and all the pouting and tantrum throwing on the world is not going to change that.

And so far he's hardly fixed anything. And if he only got 46% of the votes cast, most people clearly do not think he is a viable person for fixing up America's problems.

Why is there such an insistence that the POTUS be "nice," or act "politically correct." Does anyone really care about that, when you risk breaking an ankle every time you go outside... from tripping over all of the "Now Hiring" signs?

I rather like that Don is a thin skinned snowflake of a dick with a silver spoon fed trust fund baby's view of the world who is constantly lying, incoherent and lashing out at everyone. He represents america on the world stage fairly accurately in my estimation.

He is a wonderful example of a symptom however.

If you don't like being insulted perhaps you should not make insulting comments to people.

I'm quite aware, thanks. I just don't think it's perfect.

Good example would be Switzerland, one of the few direct democracies out there. In the US, it's a representative democracy, and unfortunately those "reps" do not actually represent all of America's ideas. Not to mention the huge flaws of the Electoral College.

Direct democracies have draw backs too.

I have no issue with the electorial college.

Trump is a draft dodger who hates POWs. He is the last person anyone intelligent would look at as a "role model".

When I was young Nixon ran against Humphrey for president. I asked my dad why he was supporting Nixon.
He asked me 'If you got in trouble in school who would you want to dispense with your punishment Nixon or Humphrey?
That was an easy one Humphrey!
He then asked me 'If your country needed someone to handle an enemy who would you want Nixon or Humphrey?
That was an easy one Nixon!

That's my answer! Nixon was crafty & tough though not nice to be sure. I'd take that type to lead in tough times anyday!

Ever heard of the 1824 election?

When you take someone out in public, don't you expect a level of decency from that person? Is it really too much we ask of our President to act like that, you know the person who is representing us to the world? That is important to some people.

I personally would be embarrassed to take someone out in public and have them loudly act up. I can see though we have different expectations of how adults are supposed to act.

Ummm no. From 1978 to 1994 Buffalo had a Mayor who wasn't afraid to speak his mind. Sure pissed off his enemies, but at the same time he got things done. Plus he had a great cross state relationship with another in the same mold. I'm referring to Buffalo Mayor James Griffin and NYC Mayor Ed Koch. We need more people not afraid to tell the media to f*ck off, not less.

Andrew Jackson won the popular vote and more electoral votes than the other candidates. But because nobody reached a majority in the EC, the election for President is decided in the House of Representatives, with each state delegation having one vote. You tell me if that's fair or not. Jackson ended up losing the election.

On the other hand, he was an idiot. That worthless subway cost much money ,and did nothing for the economy, shut down businesses up and down main street, and generally is stupid.
