And NO, I'm not a Hillary supporter. That is simply a brilliant add.
First political add I've seen this year that actually caught my attention.
Well, he misspoke about sacrifices; he should have said he made many contributions to American society. As for knowing more than the generals about ISIS, Obama ignored the advice of his generals in withdrawing for Iraq and Bush ignored the advice of his top generals when they told him the war couldn't be won and went out searching for a Petraeus. Presidents often think they know more than their generals and the founding fathers must have thought so too because they made the President commander in chief.
What is being a "war hero" have to do with being a dummy?
Yes, presidents often ignore their generals but they often live to regret it.
Presidents are politician, and they make political decisions.
Generals are military and they make military decisions.
I suppose Trump being neither will just flip a coin.
Presidents always make the decisions, not the generals. Generals are technical advisers and implementers after they receive orders from the president, but not the decision makers. Trump is an experienced CEO who deals with thousands of experts and then he makes his own decisions. Hillary is a politician with no experience as a decision maker.
Hillary being Secretary of State, made decisions everyday, that unlike Trump effected people's lives and at times cost lives. She was part of almost every foreign policy decision Obama made and as First Lady, you can bet her voice was in every major decision Bill made. There is no comparison between Trump's decision as to open a new golf course and Hillary's decision to put American lives at risk. Hillary is one of only a few people in this country that really understands presidential decision making.
When Hillary made the wrong decisions, people died. When Trump made the wrong decisions, it was tax write off.
Bullshit. Hillary was made Secretary of State as an effort by Obama to unify the Democratic Party after a brutal primary battle, not because anyone believed she had anything of value to contribute. Obama never had anything but contempt for Hillary after the racist campaign she ran against him and you can bet he gave no weight to anything she said and that she was never allowed to make any deciisons without the approval of the WH. The only decisions Hillary made on her own as Secretary of State were having a private email server, ignoring security protocols and selling influence for personal profit.
Trump has spent a lifetime building things all over the world, and making decisions for which he would suffer if they were wrong. Hillary was never anything but Mrs. Clinton.
