But when you tell me foreign leaders will be less respectful of a US President than the Democrats are of a Republican candidate for any office, I simply cannot imagine it. I mean the lies these Dems have fostered and spread are just outrageous, are they not?<br /><br />Besides, I think the US needs a Prez, like Reagan, that is seen as "a little bit crazy."jerrye92002https://www.blogger.com/profile/01858692298982859775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916319.post-16920256018118298542016-08-04T11:48:05.202-05:002016-08-04T11:48:05.202-05:00Jerry, I'm absolutely with you in that Obama a...Jerry, I'm absolutely with you in that Obama and Hillary were, to a certain extent, projecting. However, that didn't mean their criticisms of Trump were totally inaccurate. <br /><br />I've read a fair number of conservatives who are legitimately concerned over how Trump will react to verbal attacks from world leaders. It's safe to say said attacks would be orders of magnitude more harsh than what he's been getting from U.S. leaders. I'm not saying I necessarily agree or disagree with those concerns, just stating that such worries are apparent.

When Trump says "he alone," I highly suspect he means "not Hillary" and he is absolutely right. POTUS, who is an expert on "unqualified and unfit," never read Article I, or has been doing his darnedest to forget it. Regardless of what you think of Trump, he would be an improvement over His Majesty. <br /><br />It's also surprising to hear "her of the flying crockery" talk about temperament. I would be a bit more concerned about the person "baiting" him than I am about the man defending himself against scurrilous lies in the only free and immediate forum he has. I do not suffer fools lightly, and neither does Trump. That's his strength and what voters like about him. Now whether he can sustain that truth-telling against an all-out assault by the establishment of both parties remains to be seen. I sure hope to God he can. jerrye92002https://www.blogger.com/profile/01858692298982859775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916319.post-60439493256468225312016-08-03T11:47:44.141-05:002016-08-03T11:47:44.141-05:00I'm referring to specific criticisms that Obam...I'm referring to specific criticisms that Obama and Hillary conveyed in their respective DNC speeches. <br /><br />-Obama referred to Trump's declaration that "I alone" can fix these problems (Trump said that in his RNC speech. I heard it). I agreed with POTUS when he said no, Trump cannot. Besides, Article I of the Constitution precludes a President having the ability to do so.<br /><br />-Hillary pointed out that it's hard to trust Trump's temperament to be Commander in Chief if he can be so easily baited with a Tweet. Again, I agreed.Brad Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443466836095058736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916319.post-9823734806987837412016-08-03T09:09:34.924-05:002016-08-03T09:09:34.924-05:00What do you mean, criticisms of Trump are "sp...What do you mean, criticisms of Trump are "spot on"? Do you think Democrats are above distorting, lying, quoting out of context, imputing motivation, or double standards? I'm still waiting for someone to compare Trump's ACTUAL words on the subject with what is being widely criticized. And comparing that to the criticisms levelled at him at the DNC. One or the other must be over the top. jerrye92002https://www.blogger.com/profile/01858692298982859775noreply@blogger.com
