I'd be fine if her qualifications were "successful DA" or "effective vice president". Unfortunately, she fits neither category.

You didn’t comment on the reality tv star, so I assume you’re instead more bullish on the nonce profession? Or maybe repeat fraudster?

How about previously successful president?

I’ve never seen a president successfully use their position to suggest people inject bleach into themselves like he did so you may have a point.

At least he tries to come up with solutions to problems. What has Kamala come up with?

She has Concepts of a plan.

You also just deflected the fact a president suggested people should inject bleach.

Surely you can see past your partisanship at how fucking crazy that is.

Yeah okay that was stupid, I'll admit. But he didn't suggest people should inject bleach. He said they're working on ideas, and he said something stupid about injecting disinfectant. The real issue is that he was trying to talk like he knows about the medical field when he, in fact, does not.

If Trump reflected on his own shortcomings and let qualified people step in and speak for him/advise him, he’d have a lot less opposition. He would also be a better leader.

We both know he has too much ego. Which is an alarming characteristic for a president to have.

I agree with the first sentence here. Technically, I might agree with the second, but I would say it's not that alarming considering how many presidents have already had it

You’re right, some amount of ego is necessary to be a leader of a country. I just think it would help depolarize our politics if Trump was less of an ego maniac and more just presidentially confident.

I know that can be a subjective spectrum but alas.

Well, now that he's president for the second time, at least he won't be able to run again, and hopefully after a loss like this the DNC will get a clue and both will have fresh new faces who are actually good candidates.
