Take a look at Carly Florina if you want the non-politician with a breath of fresh air. I would pay big bucks to watch her and Hillary in a one-on-one debate.

It's no secret that Trump is a narcissist (he has every single one of the nine traits and characteristics, along with the behaviors consistent with NPD) which means he has Narcissistic Personality Disorder and narcissists never, ever make good leaders. He's not in it 'for the people', he's in it 'for the power'...the power he will surely abuse. Arrogance is not a virtue. Trump is one big bowl of wrong who blames everything on everyone else and takes no responsibility or accountability.
Mark my words, if he is elected/selected POTUS he will destroy the country and blame everyone and anything but himself.
I find your entire post hilarious! There is no bigger narcissist than the one currently in the White House.

"We need a business man/woman in charge"... no, we need someone without a mental disorder.
Look up 'Narcissist' in the dictionary and there will be Trump's face.
Right next to Obama.......
I agree we already have one of those in office......and im sure all politicians are to an extent......but we really really dont need another to those epic levels

In my humble opinion, this type of thinking and behavior is why many Muslims and non-westerners have grown to despise us over the last century. Another comment that struck a nerve and seemed a little insensitive was the over-generalization by Trump that all the Mexican's immigrating to this country illegally are bad people, and he even went so far as to call them "rapists". Trump quickly back-tracked on the comments and told everyone how much he likes Mexican people, and that he even knows a few Mexicans.

I like her to NavyDoc and Queen, but at this point, I'll take anybody over Hillary. I have been republican for my entire life until the past couple of years my eyes have been opened to a lot of things, mostly environmental issues and their protection of Oil and Gas destroying this planet...so just the other day I told my wife that I liked a lot of things Bernie Sanders is saying. I never thought the day would come that I would consider voting democrat because there are a couple of social issues I will never bend on, no matter what, but like I said, I am finally seeing the light and would almost consider flipping to the "dark side" except there is no way in hell that would happen if HIllary is the democratic nominee. Just can't do it because she is just as bought up by corporate America as the rest of them, if not more. But Donald and Carly and Ben Carson are a few that I like, but I'm not sure how much chance Carly or Ben Carson have and I'm not sure how serious Donald is. Any of the other usual yahoos representing the republican party will probably make me flip to Bernie Sanders, but unfortunately, the democrats are just too damn stuck on the crook, Hillary, to ever choose the much better person that Sanders is. IMO, anyways.

I think you're wrong about him being dangerous and that he will divide. In my 43 years, I have never seen such division as I see now...and he didn't create that. His tough talk is what people are looking for and I bet he unites more than he will divide. Some who like it the way it is now will call it that...but the masses who are sick and tired of the status quo are the ones who are looking for something different...and that's why he scares the sheet out of the establishment.

That means he will not be beholden to outside influence when decision making is needed, IMHO this is why he scares the establishment political system on both sides of the aisle. He will not be easily controlled.
Far as I'm concerned it means he would at least be capable of making the best decisions for the country as a whole rather than serving special interest group issues to the detriment of the nation.

I could not be more serious. The status-quo does not work anymore. This country needs to be run like a business. Business tolerates no fluff.
Running the country like a business is a very bad idea. Businesses seek to encourage people to buy their products, and they charge the highest price they can. Think about this in a world where governments can mandate purchases of items that they set the price for as they call it a tax.
Running the government as a business is a worst case scenario.

It's not "tough talk" it is "hate talk" which is why it is divisive.
The "masses" you are speaking of aren't really that massive...however they will be a very loud mob that will echo all of Trumps hateful rhetoric.

What am I getting at...?
At the utmost level, general business practice would define a mission for itself. Lets say that the mission of the business being basically to increase the wealth, health and prosperity of the American people ( the customer) and be a caring and responsible citizen to the world. In a business sense, it is not corny, it is a charter.
The American public are also shareholders of the business.

A businesses purpose is to enrich itself, and gather for itself more power, influence, and customers. Ultimately that translates into a larger more powerful government, a higher population, and higher revenue (more taxes). The citizens may be shareholders but we're compelled to invest and the government as a business is a monopoly. That doesn't lead to a healthy business atmosphere.
