What does it say about republicans when the top two polling candidates have no political experience

[Zander]

I don't expect him to know the name of every splinter terror group leader out there. He's not a politician.

Dumb as a rock? Not even close son. He went to Wharton. He's very intelligent. Try again.

Well gee shouldn't he learn them? Trust me this isn't the only crap he doesn't know.

You're grasping at straws kid.

He built the Trump Towers and dozens of other buildings, do you think he knew how to install the roof and waterproofing system? Did he know the exact type of adhesives and screws that hold the roof down? Does he need to know the size of the counter weights in the elevators? The name and type of refrigerant used in the buildings power plant? t Of course not. He hires people to do that. That's what leaders do. That's what he'll do when he is the POTUS.

Um okay. Do you know notice how none of that crap has anything to do with being POTUS?

It's called an analogy...

You're quite the.dullard kid.....

Yeah I get that it's an analogy but so far you or anyone has explained WHY Trump is qualified to be president.

Here ya go dullard!!

Qualifications for the Office of President of the United States

What does it say about the Democrats when their leading candidate should be wearing an orange jumpsuit and they don't care?

As opposed to the GOP who created a MYTH on Ronnie Reagan and his destroying the US Constitution and his most corrupt admin in modern times?

 

[MarathonMike]

Obama had no experience of any kind, Political or otherwise. He was and is a complete academic hack and has made a complete shambles of the Middle East through a series of underestimations, misjudgements and straight up blunders. Trump and Carson both were hugely successful in Private life, actually WORKING for it and not sucking off the government teat all their life. That is their appeal. The two together would be a great combination given Trump's experience with Foreign businesses and governments and Carson's strength being domestic issues like healthcare.

There's no evidence of that. He is the only candidate to not flip flop on ANYTHING.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

So subjective the statement 'Absurd wrong ideas'. Who's the ultimate authority on right and wrong? Better to just come out and say, republican good, democrat bad, since this is the philosophy you use to base your answers on.

[ninja007]

Well, despite your opinion filled OP, answering your title question, imo, it shows that the GOP voters is sick and tired of the crap job the GOP establishment is doing.

Yes. GOP chances are grim. That is what happens when your immigration policy is to import as many Third World voters as possible.

Responsible, traditionally American policies stop selling with the increasingly NOT Traditional American population.

Even if it is a good idea to go with candidates with zero political experience, why would you support one as immature and dumb as Trump?

yeah- those billionaires are pretty dumb these days.

Our Hidden History of Corporations in the United States
When American colonists declared independence from England in 1776, they also freed themselves from control by English corporations that extracted their wealth and dominated trade. After fighting a revolution to end this exploitation, our country’s founders retained a healthy fear of corporate power and wisely limited corporations exclusively to a business role. Corporations were forbidden from attempting to influence elections, public policy, and other realms of civic society.

Initially, the privilege of incorporation was granted selectively to enable activities that benefited the public, such as construction of roads or canals. Enabling shareholders to profit was seen as a means to that end. The states also imposed conditions (some of which remain on the books, though unused) like these*:

• Corporate charters (licenses to exist) were granted for a limited time and could be revoked promptly for violating laws.
• Corporations could engage only in activities necessary to fulfill their chartered purpose.
• Corporations could not own stock in other corporations nor own any property that was not essential to fulfilling their chartered purpose.
• Corporations were often terminated if they exceeded their authority or caused public harm.
• Owners and managers were responsible for criminal acts committed on the job.
• Corporations could not make any political or charitable contributions nor spend money to influence law-making.

For 100 years after the American Revolution, legislators maintained tight controll of the corporate chartering process. Because of widespread public opposition, early legislators granted very few corporate charters, and only after debate. Citizens governed corporations by detailing operating conditions not just in charters but also in state constitutions and state laws. Incorporated businesses were prohibited from taking any action that legislators did not specifically allow.

(Re-)Introducing: The American School of Economics


When the United States became independent from Britain it also rebelled against the British System of economics, characterized by Adam Smith, in favor of the American School based on protectionism and infrastructure and prospered under this system for almost 200 years to become the wealthiest nation in the world. Unrestrained free trade resurfaced in the early 1900s culminating in the Great Depression and again in the 1970s culminating in the current Economic Meltdown.



Closely related to mercantilism, it can be seen as contrary to classical economics. It consisted of these three core policies:

1. protecting industry through selective high tariffs (especially 1861–1932) and through subsidies (especially 1932–70)
2. government investments in infrastructure creating targeted internal improvements (especially in transportation)
3. a national bank with policies that promote the growth of productive enterprises rather than speculation

It is a capitalist economic school based on the Hamiltonian economic program. The American School of capitalism was intended to allow the United States to become economically independent and nationally self-sufficient.




Frank Bourgin's 1989 study of the Constitutional Convention shows that direct government involvement in the economy was intended by the Founders.


The goal, most forcefully articulated by Hamilton, was to ensure that dearly won political independence was not lost by being economically and financially dependent on the powers and princes of Europe. The creation of a strong central government able to promote science, invention, industry and commerce, was seen as an essential means of promoting the general welfare and making the economy of the United States strong enough for them to determine their own destiny.

[Dana7360]

You would think you can't do worse than Bush, but Republicans are working overtime trying to find someone worse.

republican presidents have progressively gotten worse since Eisenhower.

Eisenhower was a liberal compared to today's republicans.

Nixon was bad, Ford wasn't too bad but reagan was worse than nixon. The first bush was worse than reagan, the bush boy was worse than his father. The next republican president will be worse than the bush boy.

I don't know about other people but I sure don't want to find out or live through whatever is worse than the bush boy.

 

[Auld Phart]

Republicans would not stop harping on the inexperience of Obama in the 2008 campaign yet now their two top candidates for 2016 have never even seen public office.

Moreover, Trump has virtually no policy ideas whatsoever besides his plan to deport all illegals, which, in reality would cost a quarter of a trillion and take decades to implement according to the CBO. How can republicans be so naive to support this Neanderthal? We have no earthly idea what Trump would do as president and neither does Trump himself. He's just a drama queen craving attention.

Ben Carson has such ridiculous socially conservative views that I have a hard time believing he even actually genuinely believes in them. A retired neurosurgeon could not be this dumb. I think he just spouts that crap because he knows all of the dumb rednecks in this country would go ape shit over it.

Repubs need to realize that there is no way in hell independents and democrats would ever vote for these douche bags. Right now, I think the GOP's chances in 2016 are looking grim.

Think again Billy boy......

Poll: Trump beats Hillary head-to-head

Oh gee you people FINALLY found a poll where Hillary is no longer the clear cut winner for president. It is however one poll and it really means jack shit. I hope Trump is the nominee. Any idiot would tell you Hillary would win by a landslide.

Any idiot would tell you Hillary would win by a landslide.

at this point in the election,

yes...

an idiot would say that.

This is how a trend changes son. ONE POLL at a time.

Trump has charisma, money, and massive momentum. Good luck!

Charisma perhaps, but he is still dumb as a rock. Trust me he has already begun to unravel. Hear that radio interview? He couldn't keep any foreign policy information straight. He made a total ass of himself.

Well then he is in good company, you make an ass out of yourself everyday on here.

[Correll]

Nonsense.

Reality. Why do you think people applaud him for telling bush to speak english?

Anger over unwanted negative change.

As is right and proper.

And another example of a trump supporter fitting my description of them

Being angry over unwanted negative change is not "racist, nativist, idiotic".

No, but the characterization as unwanted negative change of a spanish response is

Speaking Spanish is not the issue. The reasons for the need to speak spanish is.

Those reasons are mostly negative and unwanted, which is a reason to be angry.

But you have to play the Race Card because you can't honestly defend your policy of defacto open borders.

 

[Correll]

Obama was a moron with no real world experience. Now he's an experienced moron

And Trump will remain a moron because he won't get elected.

You've gotten a lot of answers to your question from conservatives, and a consensus was obvious.

If the question was important enough to you to motivate a thread, why have you not responded to answer?

You mean the consensus that it's a good idea to having a candidate with no political experience? It's bullshit. If the top democrat candidate had no political experience you people would not stop bitching about it and you know it.

THe answer(s) was obviously not bullshit.

You have you answer. Yet you ignore it.

Which goes to show it was never a serious question.

It was nothing but a "drive by" attack thinly disguised as a question.

 

[Correll]

THe lack of political experience is a real issue. Though after Obama if the Left tries to use that, they will be setting new records for hypocrisy.

Why Trump?

Because he is the one with the courage to speak the truth on the real issues that are causing harm to this nation.

I'm not so sure that the experience that one needs to be President necessarily has to come from holding previous political offices. In his entire career in “public service”, how much has Barack Obama learned about how the real world works? Not a damned thing, that's how much. He's got a head full of absurd wrong-wing ideological ideas, and not a lick of the real-world experience to show how wrong these ideas are. I'll take the experience of anyone who has successfully run a business of any kind in the real world, over that.

I agree.

Just because something is a real minus to a candidate does not mean that there are other pluses that outweigh it, or that he might not still be better than all the others.

You haven't done that in this thread with Trump's policies.

You asked a question, received multiple consensus answers and have ignored them.
