He's never held office. Ever. Not a mayor or governor, not a lawyer or a trustee.

Not a councilman, or a board of ed member. Not even dog catcher. He knows nothing of the law or finance of governing.

He decided to start at the top: Leader of the free world.

What kind of a moron do you have to be?

No elective experience.
No understanding of , or respect for, the constitution.
No morals. (Any ethical foibles in Hillary's past are very, very minor league stuff compared to the utter shamelessness and deliberate meanness of Trump's nonstop lies, and his corrupt business practices. Not to mention his attitudes towards immigrants, women, and minorities).
Incompetent, lazy and dishonest business executive.
Narcissist to a jaw-dropping degree.
No intellectual curiosity at ALL. From what I can tell, he reads almost nothing.

Even the fact that 30-40% of the electorate would even consider voting for this man says very worrisome things about the state of our country.
I've never been so terrified about an election in my life.

He's not afraid to offend people when it's not to their face.

And he's so good on The Apprentice.

And he has a hot wife.

Because of all of this, some people are more than willing to overlook his sheer hypocrisy in everything he does.

These things are important to your low-IQ voters that he's attracted.

I am hoping that the offensive begins in earnest. Bernie, Warren, everyone, out and on the trail and TV, bashing and barnstorming. Ads telling the truth about Drumpfs colossal failures in everything, and his lying, cheating, unlawful business practices. Surely to God there are huge bombs waiting to be dropped, waiting for just the right time and circumstances, now that we're in the election zone. This reacting, reacting, reacting to every idiotic utterance the yellow yam makes makes me crazy. Don't react. Attack! Where are the Howard Stern tapes? Those alone would make one hell of an ad.

Well, he DOES know how to break the law and either not get caught or how to settle when he does. He is an expert on confidentiality agreements too.

Bernie Madoff wasn't conning stupid poor people, he conned the wealthy who presumably aren't dumb.
