Agreed.

And those advisors would quickly tell him to "sit down and shut up".

He would be a talking head, and not much else.

Correct.

In fact he could end up living in a Gated Community in North Korea with a few others who have retired from public life.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Oh well, not long to go now.

I don't think, and never have, the outcome is in doubt. Imean seriously people , no-one with an IQ above 100 would even consider that The Creep would be President. It just defies all logic.
(one hopes the American public does have an IQ above 100.)

Grin

It poses an interesting moral dilemma : Should a person's deviant habits be enough to bar him from ascending to national leadership even if he has the qualities needed to be a great leader?

Alexander the Great was a notorious homosexual whose private tent was a nightly riot of endless buggery and gay horse-play.

Hadrian of 'Hadrian's Wall' in the UK was another notorious homosexual.

Should Trump's habit of groping women bar him from the position of Presidency?

Linking sexual assault and rape to consensual homosexuality.

Herr-bert is off on his morning troll.

Have to agree.. Herbie's rant rampantly displays his hatred. Poor herbie. Sad

Does Trump have the qualities to be a great leader?

If so, what do you believe those qualities are?

H

Hillary is a very aggressive bitch behind that plastic smile[/size][/highlight].

Hillary is a proven liar, cheat, supporter of wars, maker of bad decisions and action, hater of Putin ..........

I think you missed Herbie's point, Sprint.

Hillary is unfit to govern because she's a woman.

Yep.. that is at the base of it.

Angry

Try not to make a habit of misrepresenting where people stand on issues.

But it's true - women do not have an enviable record in positions of power.

Joan Kerner ; Julia Gillard (50,000 boat people during her brief time in office); Christine Nixon (went to a restaurant while people were being killed in the Victorian fire); Catherine Burn (went home during the Lindt cafe terrorist siege); and the rest ...

Really?

Are you assuming an Executive President is not much more than a Constitutional Monarch or a ceremonial head of state?

For one, the anti-Clintonites (like yourself!) would disagree with you! And really, if that were the case, then no one would care about the US Presidential election any more than they would care about the election and stately thoughts of, say, the President of India (old... whats-his-name).

One supreme example of the US President acting in his role as a latter-day Caesar was Johnson's (over) reaction to Barry Goldwater's extreme militant rhetoric and his characterisation of Johnson as some kind of 'lame peacenik' which fueled his (Johnson's) obsession with and escalation of a little known or cared about conflict is southeast Asia.

btw... Nixon thought of the Presidential office as having the same political power over the US (and by the magnitude of the office - the western world) that Loius XIV claimed over France.... Not something a constitutional monarch or ceremonial head of state would ever argue for or be in two minds about.

Indira Gandhi was a bitch who aligned India with the Soviet Union just to spite the British.

As for Aung San Suu Kyi ... she was another shamelessly self-indulgent glory-seeking bitch who didn't even have the heart to leave Burma to be by her husband Aris's side while he was dying of cancer.

Quote:

In 1988, Suu Kyi returned to Burma, at first to tend for her ailing mother but later to lead the pro-democracy movement. Aris' visit in Christmas 1995 turned out to be the last time that he and Suu Kyi met, as Suu Kyi remained in Burma and the Burmese dictatorship denied him any further entry visas.[16]

Aris was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1997 which was later found to be terminal.

Despite appeals from prominent figures and organizations, including the United States, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and Pope John Paul II, the Burmese government would not grant Aris a visa, saying that they did not have the facilities to care for him, and instead ...

... urged Aung San Suu Kyi to leave the country to visit him. She was at that time temporarily free from house arrest but was unwilling to depart, fearing that she would be refused re-entry if she left, as she did not trust the military junta's assurance that she could return.[27]

Why should a little inconvenience like a husband dying of cancer get in the way of her ambitions for political glory?

It was Margaret Thatcher who signed Britain's sovereignty away to the Continental Europeans. At least she later admitted her mistake and her betrayal of the British people.

And what a popular idea that was at te time! By then British rule (the Raj) stank like an old curry in the sun.

So Hillary will be a disaster because she's a woman, eh?

You've already tried the sweetener of an ageing Lothario with his harem in the White House. Now you're raising the alarm about Hillary's vagina.

Gee, Herbie, you really know what people want. Have you ever thought of going into marketing?

Forgot to mention the US President's own personal army - the CIA!
