2016 Republican Presidential Candidates

[me]

Hypocrisy! It seems to me that you and your ilk demonized Obama for his lack of experience.

How do you come up with this lack of experience thing?

How do you come up with this lack of experience thing?

One of the first signs of dementia is memory loss. Get help.


When Barack Obama was seeking the presidency in 2008, Republicans frequently derided his career experience, saying it was limited to a scant four years in the U.S. Senate, some time in the Illinois Senate, and having been a "community organizer" in Chicago.

(and many, many more like that.)

I meant on the candidates part, I know Obama lacked experience and it was mentioned several times during his run.

Trump?
Carson?
Fiorina?

Trump?
Carson?
Fiorina?

Fiorina and Trump both have more experience with heads of state than Obama did and Fiorina has had a top security clearance when working with the government after 9/11.

How many of the front-running reguritants have ever been elected to ANY public office?

Who says you have to be in public office to be qualified to be POTUS? 

[Bo D]

Fiorina and Trump both have more experience with heads of state than Obama did and Fiorina has had a top security clearance when working with the government after 9/11.

Absolute BULLSHIT!

Hell! I had a top security clearance in the Clinton White House. That does nothing to qualify her.

YOU!

well the best you guys could muster was a community organizer from CHICAGO....

Obama was not that way.  He was a one-term senator and a community organizer.

....i still see a guy, who was a community organizer AND a senator for a 100 plus days...who is gifted at speaking....he got the media behind him...and now he is president....I think he is in over his head, but has WAY too big of an ego to realize it...

He was only a community organizer, state senator, and US Senator for a few months before he ran for POTUS. 

And many more reprobates like you!

[Henry Hawk]

Nope!

There are other ways you can be qualified imo....Trump, has been a leader for years.  He knows business, he knows how to negotiate and he knows how to make informed decisions...that is what a POTUS must understand.

I'm not saying that I think ALL of those on the repub side is ready either.  I like aspects on several of them, but some of them I don't think are ready either.

I like Rubio, Paul and Cruz but they can use more time....but I think they are up and coming.

Huckabee, Kasich, Christie and Walker are all Gov's or former Gov's....and are extremely qualified.

Carson is interesting, that he is an extremely intelligent man, who understand the healthcare industry and is very well spoken...I really like him.

[Bo D]

Trump, has been a leader for years.  He knows business, he knows how to negotiate and he knows how to make informed decisions...

Oh, yeah! Bankrupt four times! 1991, 1992, 2004 and 2009.

$900 million in personal debt

He had to sell his Trump Princess yacht, his Trump Shuttle airline, and his stake in a handful of other businesses.

Oh, yeah! He knows business.

Is that code for "speaks like a white man?"

Out of the SEVERAL hundreds of business he has done over the years and MILLIONS of dollars he has made....he had FOUR business, that needed to be restructured....he did everything by the law.  THAT is what good business men do.

[Henry Hawk]

Are you being racist?  Why is it I say he is well spoken, YOU have to assume that I'm being racist?  Do you think just white people are well spoken?  I happen to like the way he speaks soft, thinks before he speaks, and doesn't rattle shit off like most politicians do.


Typical liberal, always turns something into a race issue, when they have nothing else to argue about.

[me]

Is that code for "speaks like a white man?"

He if it was acceptable for Biden to say that, or similar, about Obama then it's perfectly acceptable for H H to say that about Carson. Why are you always bringing up the color of his skin anyway? What difference does it make he's a man and he's well educated and qualified for the position.

[Exterminator]

THAT is what good business men do.

Good businessmen don't repay their creditors?
