Edward Neal again I’m not looking for a friend in Donald Trump I’m looking for someone to perform a job that I had a small piece in hiring him to do. If more minority votes than any presidency in our lifetime, more votes than he got the last time when he did win, the best economy in our nations history, lowest unemployment ever, no wars, three Middle East peace deals, and the strongest military in our history, and countless other accomplishments are not enough - what is?
Seriously does anyone really think that Trump did everything he could to win this and that he did it the best way possible?
I sure as heck dont - - and I think if he had simply put a filter on his mouth and thought before he spoke right now we might be looking at a very different result - - - - Yea, I know, that just the way Trump is, but you have to admit it didnt really help
the problem is not you and I - we look at policies and accomplishments and can overlook a crapy personality - - - unfortunately in the voter pool I think we are the exceptions - I think for a very huge number of voters it is a personality contest, I think for a huge number of voters its about feelings.
its why I dont like it when people encourage everyone to go out and vote - I personally think that when you really get down to the nitty gritty a very small percentage of those who do vote are actually knowledgeable on the issues - the rest should probably stay home
like it or not that is the swimming pool that all politicians must swim in - and being a jerk, and being unlikable, and saying really stupid things trying to be funny turns off a huge number of people who probably would have voted for you otherwise
Seriously do you honestly think Trump would have even gotten one term if Hillary had been a sweet lovable person??
