    Your statement is a far cry from:

    "Every time I see Rubio speak, I can’t help but think “what could have been.” He was far and away the best candidate of the lot."

    The presidency is too important of a job to have someone that can’t express a coherent thought in the role.

    Re: President Trump

    Yeah, and someone who doesn't know how many states we have. Can you imagine? Honestly, how stupid can one be? Surely, someone who doesn't know how many states are in the United States would make a lousy president.


    And that was proven.

    Take care not to let your envy of President Trump and what he's been able to accomplish in his life get the best of you. Up til now you've been able to avoid it, but lately you've started to present all the classical symptoms of TDS (Trump derangement Syndrome).

    Accomplished what? Bankruptcy 6 times to eliminate debts he owed to others? Hard pass for me.

    I was no fan of Obama, but you can’t really compare a slip of the tongue after visiting 47 states on a campaign with the Trump’s complete inability to formulate and articulate coherent thoughts.

    We have now slid from 7th place in 2015 to 31st place in 2017 for least autocratic country. Primary factor is weakening constraints on the executive.

    I'm certain now on many things. Court appointments that Hillary and many of the establishment did not get will begin to show good immediately. Yes, Rubio and most of the GOP candidates would have leaned left at the lower court levels.

    Did you really think Obama was a great speaker? That fake mid-western whistling thing was not an ability to articulate. The guy didn't know how to pronounce corps. Bush certainly wasn't great at it.

    Being from Louisiana, I am going to be the last to judge someone for their pronunciation. I am talking about Trump’s inability to put together complete sentences and express articulated reasoned thought.

    You're just Trumpsplaining. The real question is about how Trump's methods will affect the future of conservative politics. He's effectively redefined the word. If the dems continue to flounder, it's possible that a real conservative can try and clean up Trump's methodical mess.

    Pronouncing it the way it reads is not a regional pronunciation it is ignorance. You are right. Trump's lack of great political BS ability is certainly a great reason not to vote for him.

    His favorite words were “but....uh....”. The picture of eloquence.

    A slip of the tongue? Nah! He thought we have 57 states. And he misspoke at other times too. And, that, even when I, one of obummer's harshest critics (truthers), agree he is pretty good at delivering speeches....when he can read the teleprompter. Not so good when he is forced to adlib.

    So, Trump sometimes stumbles over his words. At least the concepts he is expressing are excellent for our country. And you are ridiculous to say: "Trump's complete inability to..." Bullchit! and you know it. You just don't like what he is saying, and more importantly, doing.

    Like Tan-zayn-ia? Not to mention the nonexistent country of Nambia (did he mean Namibia or Zambia?).
