Conservative writer: "Trump is Everything You Raised Your Kids Not to Be"

Last edited Sat May 28, 2016, 09:44 PM - Edit history (1)

Donald Trump exemplifies every character trait that parents teach their children not to have. He is a braggart, bully and liar; he is condescending, nasty, judgmental, mean-spirited, divisive, thoughtless, impulsive, selfish, hubristic, unprincipled, misogynistic, and simply put, a jackass. He lacks compassion, empathy, class, social graces, humility, and kindness.

Good read. Though I don't agree with everything she writes, she's spot-on re her assessment of drumpf.

actually decent people-- raise their kids to be honest and polite, pay their taxes, mind their own business unless it's a serious problem, and are generally good neighbors and citizens who simply have differing political beliefs.

Not all, of course, but not all "liberals" either.

Trump should be anathema to all decent people of whatever political stripe.

He is doing one of two things, he's either a) spewing insults, hate and intolerance or b) bragging about how great he is. He is objectively a terrible human being. He is literally the textbook definition of a garbage person.

we're all scared to death that he'll be our next president? It doesn't make sense. Unless he rigs the entire system, I just don't see it.

He was born the rich landlord's kid and he lives in a world of bodyguards and security and layers of protection from dealing with a guy who would bitch slap him and/or destroy his bullying argumentative style.

I love this scene for Good Will Hunting although I have never seen the movie.
