    All addressed in his senate confirmation hearing:

    https://www.c-span.org/video/?319983...mation-hearing

    It's only an hour. Take a look meat hands.
    You said the confirmation makes him qualified.

    I'm still waiting for you to explain just how that works.

    Or you can keep deflecting to things you didn't say and expect me to instead read into your statement, as if saying "makes him qualified" should be inferred to mean "supports the notion that he's qualified".

    If it's so pedantic, why do you spend 3 pages hiding from your own words? Just fess up and be done with it.

    I already apologized for lack of clarity. But let's be honest, As soon as I introduced senate confirmation, most would have understood my point...Obama appointee, republican senate, overwhelming consent, kind of infers qualification.

    I was not specific enough and asked too much of you. I accept responsibility. Going forward, I'll know how to interact with old meat hooks.

    You drive a dodge, right? You wrap those ham hands around a leather wrapped steering wheel? Skull gear shift?

    You're still deflecting from your initial faux pas.

    Why are you thinking about my hands? Right now I drive a Th'Pusher, like I stole it.

    Sure. When he is approved overwhelmingly by an opposition party controlled senate with bipartisan support as Castro was, I will concede he has been thoroughly vetted and fully qualified for the job.

    I'm sure Dr. Carson is devastated that you don't approve.

    When you're approved by a bunch of people who also aren't qualified, that makes you qualified.

    Lib through and through.

    ... which makes him qualified. Only it doesnt.

    The president elect must be very qualified in your opinion, since 60 million people voted for him.

    As much as people want to say Hillary cost herself the White House, Trump won more than she lost. Even despite how hated she is, she would have blown out any other Republican. There's no chance in that Rubio, Jeb, Kasich or even Cruz would have motivated the base or flipped the Rust Belt like Trump did. It would have been Obama/Romney II in the best case scenario for Republicans.
    tbh, Trump's anti-capitalist, anti-free market undertones is what really gave him the Rust Belt, and that's something the right, more than the left, needs to learn from going forward... once you're past the primaries, you gotta appeal to certain sections of the population which are not your base anymore... plenty of independents to be had.

    Also, besides being a terrible candidate, as it has been remarked a lot of times, the fact that she was from the in bent party matters too. Especially coming out of 8 years, you get a much larger attack surface...

    charisma matters. Trump is a lying racist .00001 percenter but he doesnt look like hes tense and afraid of what you think about him and whether you can tell hes bsing. Hillary looked way more confident vs Bernie tbh......

    It's not hard to stand in one spot sporting a condescending grin. The hard part is illustrating why you deserve to be grinning, what's in your mental wallet?

    No, the likes of Hillary are the racists. They think that people of color need help because of their color. This is the very definition of racism, thinking one race is superior or inferior to another.

    The Donald wants a level playing field. He wants to end favoritism

    It is nice he isn't afraid to speak his mind. People should like him for that, and hate those like Hillary who lie through their teeth for votes.

    Generally, you get those charismatic people who win elections. Like HS class leaders. They are voter for by popularity, bit intelligence.

    How often is the class president the same as the valedictorian? Almost never, and also almost never part of the same clique.

    I have been rather calm and relaxed after Trump won. I see no impending liberal givaways in the next for years.

    As the President of the free world he can't just always say things that come to mind...he has to practice discretion....

    I doubt he would have risen to be as rich as he is if he didn't know how to use discretion when needed.

    Really? Is it so hard to stay rich when you start off with money?

    I see him as a polemicist. Intentionally saying things the way he does.

    I love seeing the lib s go so off kilter when he does it.

    I'm starting to like the guy!

    I've seen very few real examples of racism in my lifetime. What I have seen though is bigotry and ignorance and intolerance, but real racism is something you rarely encounter IRL.

    I didn't want him as president, but the though oh Hillary scared the bejesus out of me.

    I have hope that he will be a good president. That hope comes with a great deal of skepticism, but at least I am confident he will not try to steal out of my wallet, or my children's. I suspect he will start to reduce money used to subsidize other people, and force them to take charge of their own lives.

    I see these as promising things. Think about how much less money will come from the government coffers if we stop subsidizing illegal aliens for starters.

    In the sense that he is not an ideologue nor is he a true Republican, I hope that he will put the country first - not party, not donors and not any crazy ideas.
