Message 1704176 - Posted: 23 Jul 2015, 4:37:29 UTC - in response to Message 1704149.  

If Dr. Ben Carson can figure out how to separate conjoined twins (at the top of the head) with his team, he can figure out anything happening from the viewpoint of the POTUS--and I believe he would do a better job at it because he has proven he has the capacity to use reason, logic and common sense. And he'll be able to do things for different reasons, better reasons, moral reason, and higher reasons.

Which is exactly why is unsuited for politics. Neuro surgery is extremely difficult and certainly demands a very skilled person to do, but its simple in the sense that there is a right way and a wrong way to go about it. If you do it right, the patient lives and is hopefully cured, if you do it wrong the patient may end up with brain damage and possibly dies.

Politics? There is no easy right and wrong, there are options and almost all of those options are firmly grey. They have positive sides and negative sides. And its nearly impossible to accurately predict how those positive and negative sides evolve over time. What could look like a good idea at the moment you implement it may turn out to have very negative side effects over time.

Which is also the reason that rocket scientists do not make good politicians. Both of them, doctors and scientists, will look for a single technical "right way" to get something done. In politics, there is never a "right way" only dirty underhanded methods that occasionally get results. Now department head on a project, that is where science types can shine.

I, and my wife, will be watching this. Only because of Trump.

Let's see if he Self-Destructs.

BTW: We also have the popcorn ready.


Donald Trump continues to gain ground.
Now he has more than twice as much support as the Republican runner Jeb Bush.
There is increasing tension before the live television debate today:)

I'm watching it now. I have to say they are a bunch of really nasty, closed minded, horrible people.

Anyone who thinks anything they have to say is true or reasonable is morally bankrupt in my opinion.

Horrible.

Are you including as untrue when they say their own name? Absolutes are such fun!

Politics. You can't be center in the primary. Everyone gets the center vote and you need more votes than everyone else. You have to be extreme to win in the primary. So extreme you convince the extremists to show up at the voting booth and cast their ballot. Then the very next day discard all those extreme positions as utter BS and get as close to dead center as possible to win in the general election. Isn't the two party winner take all system fun?!

Trump can't get through any discussion (maybe not a discussion-that involves two-way exchanges of words) without reminding us of how many billions he's made...sheesh

Well....
In a nonscientific poll on one of my local television stations after the debate....

Trump got a 48.78% rating on the question of 'Which Republican candidate would be the best for America?

Next best was Ben Carson at 8.82%.

Meh, remember last time? At some point every front runner was a favorite for like a week and then they said something dumb or embarrassing and then they lost the lead. Of course, this guy banks on saying stupid things, but there are limits to what even he can say. And the less careful he is about running his mouth the more likely it becomes he reaches the point where he goes to far.

And if by some chance he wins the primaries, its almost a sure victory for the Democrats.

I thought Trump lacked finesse talking about the bankruptcy thing, but then I can't believe I just used the word finesse and Trump in the same sentence. ;~)

I thought Rubio, Christie, and Carson presented themselves well.

All hail President Trump!

He sounds a lot like most other
American politicians as far as I
can tell.


edit:
Hopefully he will usher in an historical
age for his country after the election!

Wow, what a rant. Wonder what percent of it would ring true by fact check?
A) Less than 25%
B) Less than 10%
C) Less than 5%
D) Less than 1%
E) None of it

What I hear is someone who is incredulously mad that his brilliant logic is not used by others. The ending parts seem to indicate this person no longer believes that the government is even legitimate because it does not use his interpretations.

Mad and thinks the government isn't legitimate, does that sound exactly like the thinking of someone who might strap on a suicide vest?

If Donald Trump was to end up as President of the United States I think we better head for the bunkers.


Meanwhile Donald Trump is not allowed to a big Republican meeting after sexist comments.

One thing that is necessary in the US if you want to run for office is a lot of money.

Survivor.

Sen. from AZ 'is' A Survivor. 'It' 'is' High Praise for AnyOne making 'it' Through a 'Life' Full of
More than 'Average' Happenings or One Very Difficult Experience.

99 Percent of 'Hero' Praise is Wrong.

Praise People for Deeds Done Very Well and Out of 'Ordinary' 'Circumstances'.

'Hero' Worship 'is' False Praise.

S. Palin and D. Trump are Passionate for 'America' and The 'American' 'Experience'. They would 'Do
what 'is' Best for 'Americans' in America. All Americans in America.

This 'Is' What A True President 'is' 'Elected' To Do.

Yep.

May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON. GOoD JUDGEMENT and LOVE and ORDER!!!!!
