Incompetence. Which of our past presidents would you consider competent? Start with Washington, and go through the list, please. If you actually look at each and every man who held the office, if you search for and find the talking points of his detractors, then check the facts surrounding those talking points, you may well be surprised.

During the past election, Hillary and company talked a lot about "presidential". Not many of our presidents WERE "presidential". That is, if you ever got past the myriad of people running interference, if you got past the dressed up public display facade that each of them projected, each of them had his character flaws.

As presidents go, Trump isn't so very bad. He's bad, but he still ranks a fair bit above Grant.

But, you go ahead and dig into the characters of past presidents, then you compare Trump to all of them. Even Washington and Lincoln. Even Eisenhower. Maybe one day, I'll make my own list of presidents, ranked in order of relative strengths and weaknesses. I insist that Trump is not the bottom of the barrel.

What pisses so many of you off so terribly, is that the first woman you offered to hold the office most definitely WOULD HAVE BEEN the bottom of the barrel.

I don't think that any of the D offerings this time around are as bad as Clinton, but you're not offering anything markedly better than Trump. And, THAT is what ensures another win for Trump. The only way he is leaving office before 2024 is through death or incapacitation. You guys aren't unseating him.
