Sounds morbid, but honestly I don't know if his health will hold up. He's very obese, 71 years old, chugs coca cola and eats KFC buckets, believes that exercise robs you of your precious bodily fluids, and in a very stressful position, and already showing signs of diminished mental acuity. The chance that an average 70 year old will die in any given year is like 10%. Trumps terrible health and poor lifestyle probably makes it way more than that.
It's amazing that two decades worth of experience as Secretary of State and a US Senator who graduated from Yale Law with a public school background using her own individual merit lost to Donald Trump. She was a crap candidate who was relying on the female vote to get her in office. That is a token candidate.
Just because Clinton lost versus Trump does not change her own qualifications to be president, just as it doesn't strengthen Trump's qualifications or reduce his own faults and failures now that he is president. Also just as Ford's loss to Jimmy Carter doesn't lessen Gerald Fords obvious qualifications to be president (25 years congressional experience including House Minority Leader; experience as both VP and president). Again, with all Trump's mud throwing at Clinton as "crooked Hillary" its hard to believe that she would have possibly done worse as president...
No... Just because you think she's a token candidate, doesn't mean she is. Sarah Palin was a token candidate. Barely spiraled by higher education as a beauty queen and tripped into local government and somehow magically become governor of Alaska. Hilary in terms of experience and qualifications was more experienced than Bush Jr and Obama when they entered office. She was easily the most experienced out if the Democratic feild.
I will agree. Palin was put on the ticket as a token. Honestly I think most people didnt care that Hillary was a woman just as most people didnt care Obama was black. I think Hillary cared more about being the first female President and expected women to vote for her. Having the most experience does not entitle you for the job. That is the problem with many of those who work in the government ... they feel entitled. And those of us who live in the real world understand promotion most often comes from your ability to produce. Which is why a guy who had very little government experience beat a woman with a lifetime of experience.
But objectively, Hillary 'produced' more. Public school education to Yale Law, US Senator and Secretary of State compared to a man with private school education, hand out admission to an Ivy League, no academic work to show for, handed father's 300 million dollars in assets... What the **** are you referring to? Space Ghost, answer this question. Who do you trust more to read a 20 page nuanced intelligence report multiple times through for thorough comprehension of the material read? Hillary or Trump?
There is a difference between being a crap candidate and just running a shitty campaign. Hillary is guilty of the later.
Definitely agree with this. A feeling of entitlement is a big reason McCain (and Hillary) lost to Obama. He used his military sacrifice and government experience as the foundation of his campaign instead of as a strong closing argument. I got tired of hearing about it. Despite this, he had my vote until selecting the dingbat as a running mate. It was more than running a sorry campaign. It was Hillary herself. She peaked in 2008 (where she REALLY ran a terrible campaign) and most people didn't want her in 2016. She was stale.
What you are saying is different than stating that Hillary was a token candidate. If a male with her level of experience ran for president no one would question whether she belonged in a presidential race as dozens of less qualified men have run for the major parties in the past without them being called 'token'.
Trump wants everything reduced to one page or less and Hillary is "easily confused" so none of the above.
She's guilty of both honestly. There was a real need to polish that turd if you were going to successfully sell it to them and it wasn't done. That doesn't mean that if they were starting with even a halfway decent candidate that they wouldn't have been fine. The assumption was that Trump was so bad they'll vote for ANYTHING as the alternative. They were mistaken.
1. Pro tip: this is an appropriate place for quotation marks, as in "doctor." 2. A healthy 70 year old still faces the difficult statistical prospects of being 70. Don't get me wrong. I don't agree with Sam. The dude is so coated in hairspray that he'll be upright until at least 95, but your post is unusually bad, which is saying something. Cheers.
...but you don't agree with Sam. ...ok, champ. Glad you could use your post to lob in some insults on Trump without actually having to think. You've got quite the skill there.
The same doctor that said this? “If something happens to him, then it happens to him,” Bornstein said. “It’s like all the rest of us, no? That’s why we have a vice president and a speaker of the House and a whole line of people. They can just keep dying.”
