qualified? yes. competent? i have serious doubts. He is to the presidency what George McClellan was to generalship.

I'm not sure it matters since it's a popular vote. But I think it's pretty clear he either truly doesn't understand how healthcare works or he knows exactly and doens't care since he wants his single payer system.

Honestly, i'd never read much on it. But from a brief synopsis, Samsonov didn't care much for OPSEC, or considered his spot a gimme victory and disregarded it.

Pretty neat, i'll have to round up a book on it.

McClellan had neither the leadership skills, nor tactical mind to be general-in-chief of the Union Army. He was in a word, unqualified.

Perhaps you don't know of the love the Army of the Potomac had for McClellan. And, he was among the most highly esteemed military minds in America when he took command from McDowell...The Penninsula plan was a great plan, on paper, but not executable for reasons of supply and terrain.

Until running for president against Lincoln in 1864, McClellan was far and above the most beloved Army Commander the AoP had, save Sedgewick and John Reynolds.

Yes, I know all about their love for him. Troop morale does not equate to leadership and tactical savvy.

His tactical blunders were horrendous. Antietam is a prime example. He missed several opportunities to crush Lee's forces.

On a side note, have you ever visited Antietam? I was shocked at how small the actual battlefield was. It most have been horrific to have that many dead and wounded in such a small area.

Your argument is sound, other than you are merging competence and qualification.

Yeah, Antietam is a nice place to go, my cousin's farm abuts Antietam Creek in Boonesboro, we canoe from his back lot to the battlefield when im down there, take a hike around, then drink and fish our way back.

It is probably the best CW battlefield to visit in the east, the others are either overgrown or surrounded by Condos and golf courses, (or under, as far as many parts of the Chancellorsville/Wilderness/Spotsylvania fields).

A regiment from my hometown forded Antietam Creek and flanked Toomb's Georgians, hastening the retreat on the Right, then slammed straight into AP Hill coming from Harpers Ferry and got wasted.

The best part of the field to walk is the initial actions West of the cornfield, its a hiking trail so its not too improved for tourists, just a dirt path. Those boys were bad ass fellas, on both sides.

I wasn't talking about his citizenship or age qualifications. I was talking about his leadership skills, his ability to actually do what is best for the nation, and his ability to carry out such plans.

I should have made the question more precise, but I didn't want to be accused of trying to bias the poll.

I am biased to Chickamauga. Miles of trails. Pyramid shaped monuments made from actuall CW cannon balls dot the park. They denote where famous leaders fell.

The Fuller Gun Collection is in the visitor center. It is the world's most extensive collection of antique firearms.

Leagally qualified will always be disputed because of his refusal to release the documentation to prove his status.
You are right he will still be POTUS in the morning, but I still won't like having a terrorist sympathizing communist holding the office.

Could and should have been the end of the War. Had Bragg pressed on he'd have destroyed Rosecran's army in Chattanooga, but, outnumbered and outsupplied, he decides to lay seige. His 3 best battlefield commanders are slighted due to the CSA President's infatuation with Bragg, Longstreet goes back (with his ANVa Corps) to Virginia, Forrest is given a loose leash, and Cleburne is stymied in the promotion process.

It was understood as i reason, that Longstreet's Corps wsas 'on loan', but the service of Forrest as a Cavalryman and Cleburne as a Corps Commander would have gone a long way of keeping Sherman off of Atlanta until after the election, with them involved.

Or, Bragg could have attacked a routed Army from the surrounding heights and finished it off...

Kinda makes you wonder if the Bragg/Davis switch hitting rumors were true.
