I don’t disagree with most all of what you said with the exception of assuming a military experienced POTUS would automatically avoid armed conflict. It is a tremendous breeding ground for leadership though. For example McCain. While I voted for him (during my Warhawk years) I would take it back now. I can’t imagine how many people he could have killed via outright military aggression. We really need to stop these damn proxy wars.

And yes I think an industry mogul makes more sense for the office. It is by its name the chief executive role. It’s a position of executing policy not pontification of what people want. And frankly Trump fits that role. Bloomberg does too. And others. Tillerson wants it I’d guess but most likely doesn’t have the charisma at this point. And frankly I think that’s largely behind their clashes both men are used to being in charge. Only one can be.

Again Trump is an asshat and miserable human being. But nothing better has been offered that I can see. Absolutely nothing from the Democrat side in fact the more they talk the more they guarantee I’ll just pull the red lever in November.

I don't think a combat vet automatically avoids conflict but does a better cost benefit analysis. If you have had the targets shoot back then you know the gravity of the decision.

You are looking at it only from the upside of industry/management/business experience. Its much more complicated than that. A President should not lie on a daily basis to the American people for his own benefit. A President must be willing to take criticism and at least think about it and question whether he ought to change his thinking, rather than reject it out of hand and viciously attack anyone who dares not subjugate to him. A President should be a moral and principled leader with a sense of empathy. A President should not undermine international alliances because he feels slighted or not regal enough.

Traditionally, one of the biggest problems with politics is when someone is presented with new facts and changes their mind they are seen as weak. No, that is what a good leader does. I would disagree with your criticism of trump not taking criticism but he dosen't look at facts much less criticism.

These speakers tonight represent everything Trumpers (and most Republicans) hate - intelligent women, intelligent minorities, and wait for it - intelligent minority women (gasp).
