For years, the conservative element has insisted that a conservative businessman (a CEO of a large corporation preferred) needed to be elected to straighten out this country.

Well, we've got Trump. And as a journalist on the panel of one of these Sunday morning political talk shows said, it's a whole other smoke to run a country, because unlike his business, you can't just declare bankruptcy and start over when you screw up!

It's so funny because everyone who voted for Trump thought you could declare bankruptcy and start over when you screw up.

and apropos to that, remember that it was under the Shrub that Congress made much more difficult for the little guy to even do that (declare bankruptcy)!

When politicians screw up they print more money so they hide from their failures

by that same token, liberals like to decry the money in elections and elected officials, but you never see them voting for anyone other than that because they say it takes money to win elections.........

What we needed was someone like Warren Buffet. Trump is a weasel. And he's willfully ignorant. And he's immature. And he's a sociopath. Don't throw out the baby with the bath water on the idea of a businessman in the office. We just have to reach the reality-show-crowd with facts about the candidates. We can't let those impressionable TV viewers remain so uneducated.

Trump was an outlier as far as candidates go. He leveraged his celebrity presence to capture the extremely low information voters.Calling them voters is being generous. These folks were just fans of Donald Trump. They didn't give a crap that he had no experience. He's runs that TV show business! I'mma vote fer him!

Trump also got the votes of people who knew better but couldn't allow themselves to either not vote republican or vote for Hillary.
That's pretty much par for the course. Partisans gonna be partisans.

trump has failed at almost everything he's ever touched. If you want a businessman to run the country, you need one without conflicts of interest, and a modicum of intelligence with respect to running a business.

Romney started an amazing company and had political successes. Not that many to my knowledge have had the business and political career combined that he has

Thnx for not listing off all of his 272 most unseemly & distasteful traits.. (note: that is most, not all)

Buffett would be a great option.. One of the few that the lil orange was afraid to call out when they dissed him...

I was hoping they would be right, that he would learn on the job, but thus far he is as bad, if not worse than I would have thought........

Argentina did. Greece is angling for it.

Exactly this. I was praying the guy would wise up, but he's going to suck until he's removed. I think the average person could do a better job than this nitwit. You, me, even deshrub/evince could do a better job than Trump. He's spectacularly awful at the job and hasn't taken any step to improve. He's only gotten worse with confrontational tweets and spreading misinformation.

It's time for him to be removed.

 

[Bill]

Unfortunately he sees no need to, he knows his fan base will love him no matter what he does, so why not be a prick..

I would hope he could be removed, but unless there are some YUGE changes in congress the planet is stuck w/ him...

 

[Taichiliberal]

And look how the "too big to fail" philosophy worked out for the country, chuckles.

It's an ongoing conspiracy. Nice catch.

Well, based on results, you voted for a someone who simply doesn't pay his debts -- and brags about it. Either you didn't know or you knew but didn't care. Pick your poison.

 

[Taichiliberal]

Faulty premise

How so? A lot of the jokers that voted for this orange pated con man touted his business "success" as the main reason. Close examination of that "success" leaves MUCH to be desired. Given his current approach to public service and gov't administration, that news woman's speculation can't be far off the mark!

Word is that, Trump's reputation for not paying his lawyers is so bad, he can't find a good personal lawyer for his upcoming impeachment trial...
They all "decline" to represent him...
Lol

I believe the last true attempt at campaign finance reform was bi-partisan (McCain/Feingold). But as you say, BOTH party majorities resist change. Pity the country didn't fight harder for Bernie.
