I think there is a faction of the American people who crave bombast. The President doesn't do Bombast. There have been other examples where he has been criticized for being too calm and collected, too 'vulcan' if you will.
I don't necessarily think we would be better off with a more flashy president.

(3,626 posts)6. Speaking of bombast vs calm and collected --
I watched a little of Trump's rally last evening and I believe he said something like, "I would take out Bin Laden," or "I would have taken out Bin Laden." Um, does he forget who actually did? Yeah -- it was the current 'weak, disastrous, failure of a president'. I hate that media is giving so much attention to such a vile, dangerous asshole with virtually no refuting commentary.
