Vox - A competent woman just debated a man who has no idea what he’s talking about

Nice take from Vox, which I totally agree with. While Trump may have won if this was an episode of Jerry Spring, as a Presidential debate, he has proven himself once again unfit to be President.

Let's not lower the bar for Donald Trump: President of the United States is a difficult job that requires wide-ranging knowledge of the American government and the myriad issues that land on the president's desk. Nothing in Trump's career suggests he is in any way prepared to do the job, and nothing he did in even the better moments of the second presidential debate suggested the existence of hidden depths of relevant knowledge and competence.

Over the past few months we’ve had the occasion to debate whether Trump routinely grabs women by the pussy and/or kisses them against their will. We’ve asked whether he’s so hot-tempered that his election would risk nuclear war. We’ve asked whether he’s a paid agent of the Kremlin. We’ve pondered a history of racism, a history of misogyny and harassment, and a history of corruption. We’ve asked whether a vengeful Trump administration would descend into tyranny.

These are important questions. But the mere fact that they’re being asked shouldn’t distract us from the standard we normally ask our high-level politicians to reach. Nobody — even the best presidents — is conversant in every policy issue under the son. But Trump appears not to be conversant in any of them. And he doesn’t care. When his ignorance is revealed, he doesn’t study up and do better next time. He figures it doesn’t matter and he moves on.

But try to picture a man serving as president who has no idea what he’s doing. A man who doesn’t understand why a junior senator can’t unilaterally change the tax code, or that Russia has had nuclear weapons for a long time, or who regulates health care, or what a safe zone is, or where Syrians come from. It’s alarming. And even while people strive to stay shocked by the most outlandish of Trump’s behaviors, it’s also worth stayed focused on his most banal failings — he’s a rich kid and reality television star who seems somewhat talented at bilking people out of money who for some reason wants to be president.
