Socialist democratic is Bernie Sanders aka Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

[sfc_oliver]

Don't see how even the left can support a Socialist.

Ron, I have no idea what this topic is about....Yes, I support Bernie......you know I love the left!

Ron,

As I had said, I agree with some of his ideas.  He obviously knows and understands business
and finance.  This could be a BIG help in the arena of "Economic Policy"

He is a tough negotiator - an excellent trait when it comes to foreign policy, treaties, etc.

I agree with him that our immigration situation is getting to a critical point, and that multiple
administrations from both sides of the aisle have basically done NOTHING to solve the problem.

Our military needs to stay strong and we need to keep our country and our citizens secure.
I agree with him on this as well.

The one thing Mr. Trump lacks is social skills.  The leader of the free world should have a bit
more dignity, understand the meaning of the word DIPLOMACY and "act presidental" with regard
to his personal behavior and how he interacts with others.

I DO LIKE the fact that he is straightforward, a tough negotiator, has backbone (a quality sorely
lacking in so many of our politicians these days) etc... BUT I believe that President Theodore Roosevelt
said it best: 

"Speak softly - and carry a big stick"

If someone wants to get the cooperation of others, collaborate with them, reach agreements with them,
etc. insulting them with rude language, personal attacks regarding their personal appearance, etc is NOT
the way to get that cooperation.

This is basic psychology 101.

You can point out the shortcomings of others without being bombastic about it, or downright ignorant and
rude with regard to how you come across to the person or persons.  The same applies when dealing with
other governments around the globe - and their leaders.

Social skills are just as important to someone who is supposed to be the "leader of the free world".   It would
be a shame to see him get elected and bring all of his skills and abilities and goals to the office of POTUS only
to be dismissed as a "clown" due to his personality and demeanor.


Repugnance is NOT a good quality for a president to have.

Alan, with do respect, who is more qualified than Trump to lead America, which is obviously digressing?
As a young Engineer working in the Submarine Design Office, I was in good humor challenged on what ships the Philippines produce, canoes?  My mother is a Filipina, today the Philippines is the 4th largest shipbuilding in the world, we are number 28th.

Ron,

I don't know about supporting him... I don't plan on voting for him.  I agree with some of
his views and ideas... although I think he goes way too far over the edge a lot in his statements
and some of his ideas on how to "implement" them are extreme - and therefore will probably
never happen.

It is, however, refreshing to see a candidate for ANY major political office come out and say how
they truly feel on the issues.... even if they are going overboard with their rhetoric, it's like getting
a whiff of a little fresh air in the cesspool we all know as politics in this country.

It's also refreshing to see someone who is NOT afraid to go after the media when the media
goes after them - again, he takes things too far.... but at least he's got some backbone in him.  If
he does get elected by some miracle, the American People will know EXACTLY what they'll be getting
from their next POTUS.

Alan, apparently you were not alone in supporting Trump, look  at him today.

Before I moved to my new digs, One whole drawer of a four drawer filing cabnet filled to overflowing with folder after folder of all the corruption in Youngstown since 1990 thru 2013. I didn't bring any of that stuff with me when I made the big move.

[Youngstownshrimp]

TT, are you saying some of the stupid leaders still out there are continuing to commit criminal acts?

[Towntalk]

And we're fed up to our ears with bloody fools that pass themselves off as great leaders of men, and end up taking residence in the slammer! I'd like nothing better than for once to be able to pick up the bloody paper and not read about the latest investigation of our local corrupt leaders.
