Donald Trump starts the general election behind Hillary Clinton by a mile
By Philip Bump May 4 at 9:55 AM

Trump Not 'Equipped To Deal With The Problems Of This Office'

"I think that he is not somebody who even within the Republican Party can be considered as equipped to deal with the problems of this office, but look, we live in a democracy," Obama told New Hampshire ABC News affiliate WMUR.

"If in fact the Republicans nominate Mr. Trump, then it’s going to be an interesting fall season," the President added. "I'm confident that ultimately the Democrat in that circumstance will win
