There is much in the news about the Republican candidate for
President, and there has been much in the news about the Democrat’s candidate
for President. There have even been occasional
snippets in the news for or against the Libertarian’s candidate. Let me see if I can summarize the pros and
cons to come up with a best choice.
|
Candidate
|
Strengths
|
Weaknesses
|
Other Factors
|
|
Hillary
“I know nothing about technology” Clinton (Democrat)
|
1.
Been in politics
a long time
2.
Knows a lot of
liberal benefactors
3.
Knows how to
lie to the American public
4.
Rich and knows
how to link contributions to political favors
5.
Knows how to
use aides to do heavy lifting (i.e. take out enemies)
6.
Puts the needs
of the Party just slightly behind her personal needs
7.
Is comfortable
living in the isolation of the beltway and avoiding contact with working
Americans except for photo ops.
|
· Major Accomplishment is “been in politics a long
time”
· Health is uncertain (see strength #3)
· Positions on major issues tend to change (see
strength #4)
· Does not believe in accepting personal ownership of
mistakes (see strength #5)
· Has a VP partner who is an a$$wipe, and who promises
to be her right hand person
|
Wants
to reshape America to eliminate an independent middle class
Will,
in all likelihood, continue the Obama definition of “Transparency” and “open
government”
Will,
in all likelihood, extend the use of DOJ, DOHS, DHHS, and Treasury as
political tools to maintain control of opponents
With
her history of destroying records her requirements for a post-presidential
library should be pretty small and may be able to add a room to the Clinton
Library in Arkansas
|
|
Donald
“I have a big mouth” Trump (Republican)
|
1.
Has been a
major donor to political campaigns
2.

anything, often without benefit of judgement
3.

his own hair
5.

great number of Republicans
7.

great number of dissatisfied middle class voters
8.

turn down the PC rhetoric
9.
Has a VP
partner who appears sane
|
· Has the thinnest skin of any presidential candidate
since Aaron Burr
· Absolutely no concept of decorum or civil decency
· Can’t spell PC
· With history of Chapter 11 bankruptcy he could
declare America bankrupt and file for Chapter 11 protections (which would
upset the Chinese and the Saudi governments)
|
If elected a number of
Hollywood properties would go on the real estate market as liberal stars flee
to Canada
Entire term -- the nation

Yikes, what you had to ponder to write this ( unfortunately all too accurate) chart. After I read a bit about the sorry spectacle and desultory and crude conversation going on in our nation, I find I have to wash my mind and heart, on the order of Paul's blogpost to the Philippians 4:8 (NIV):
"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things."
I hope you are battened down and well. Thank you for the hope you have expressed for our country with your service and voiced concerns.
