character matters to them, actually they don't care about it, but they know this is the weakness of Trump, a good place to attack him since they can't debate on his policy issues.

This should be interesting.
Trump is batting over 90% there, and the misses have not been for lack of effort.
He is an immature ass, but I consider the aforementioned trait to be more relevant. Now, if he fantasizes about killing children let me know.

Now I have seen everythng.
For example, he purposefully promised to return growth to 4% GDP, eliminate the national debt, make Mexico pay for a wall, when everyone knew those things were impossible. Making promises you know you can never keep is among the worst character traits. We are even leaving out the middle of the road stuff, like promising to repeal and replace Obamacare without the slightest knowledge of how that would be done.

I sell myself as a miracle worker, able to accomplish what no one thought possible. And then when I fuck it, it it someone else's fault, right? That's character?
Which, I think I will delete, since it is obviously amenable to misinterpretation, and doesn't really add anything to the discussion.
I was working a lot of dormant neurons trying to connect up your post to the thread.
Sorry about the misinterpretation.
I was just annoyed with the dude setting unachievable goals for me, and went into a personal story that didn't directly relate to your post.
One could ask themselves that question.
Kind of a low bar, there, I know.
I would not have voted for her over any of the other Republican candidates. I have been consistent in that.
her.
She's probably the only candidate ever that he could have beaten. And a principle reason for that is that the difference in character, especially when you add Bill into the equation, wasn't significant.

Definitely would have also voted for him over Cankles.
And he pretty much resembled the Black Knight in the Monty Python film at that point.

belief in our system, knowledge of our system. None of those mentioned were perfect in any of those categories. But none were so grossly deficient in all as this clown.

He did rachet down tension for a little while anyway. The jury is still out though on this effort.
health care, TPA pull out. Those are the two areas, economy and FP that you indentified
them to eject Turkey from Nato as well. Russia hasn't moved on the West since he took office. He sold more advanced weaponry to the Ukraine than Obama ever did. You want him to fight an endless war in Syria? The rest of your list is garbage except perhaps spending but he got led by Ryan.
You just hate the man and whatever he does.

Looks like you let 521 off the hook, though. Thank goodness you came to his rescue. He really appreciates it.

I have to assume 521 got this from an article written by Cohen that he failed to link, right?

He’s a dyed in the wool isolationist. This payment thing is only his cover. Anyone really committed to the alliance wouldn't have handled it that way. Russia hasn’t move on the West. Nah they are just digesting their gains in Ukraine which he wanted to remove sanctions over. By the way he was also pissed that DOD sold that shit to Ukraine. That was Mattis and Bolton. Fight an endless war, no. But don’t just turn it over to Putin like a craven coward. Let’s hear the rest of yer defense if yiu have any.
A died in the wool isolationist, who is negotiating trade deals, negotiating peace settlements, attacking Syria & ISIS, standing up to Russia with sanctions, fighting Russian mercs, putting troops in Poland, and demanding that NATO require all of its member countries honor their commitments to beef up the NATO forces, beefing up the US military...that's just off the top of my head.
I'd be good if he were more of an isolationist. But, let's not fool ourselves about what he is.
He has turned the Mideast over to Putin.
The troops were attacked by the mercs, they had to fight.
He has constantly criticized NATO and doesn’t support it. He uses the spending to drive a wedge.
He has no choice to negotiate or fight over Korea. Made the right choice there.
Pulled out of Syria with no notice to our allies who were doing the heavy lifting against ISIL.
His “trade deals” are driven by his own tariff and protectionism policies.
Do better.
Marjorie Goss. It's rumored that she was his first choice for the new Mrs. Reagan, not Nancy.
Trump is the most perverse example of rejecting the pressure from social media to be perfect and somehow that is refreshing to people. It's a concept I am still working on, but I suspect there is something there.
