Here's the Election

You have Sanders, a socialist. And Hillary, who worked briefly for the Rose Law Firm but essentially has been a lifelong politician.
You have Cruz and Rubio, young lawyers and new senators. Both sharp, but have achieved not much other than becoming senators. That is an achievement for a person who aspires to be a politician for a living.
Then Trump, who is about 69 or 70 years old, a builder and developer. You can see his buildings on the skyline sort of as in The Fountainhead.
There are no perfect candidates.
There is no JFK in the race with a good record of PT-109 in a popular war, with a Pulitzer-winning book mostly written for him by a Georgetown professor, good hair, and a charming wife fluent in French.

If one reads the citation that accompanies JFK's Navy Cross one would see that the award was only for the rescue of his crew, which was notable. What is absent is any mention of why the crew needed rescuing in the first place.
Kennedy was in command of the fastest, most maneuverable vessel in the history of naval warfare. But on a clear night, with calm seas and visibility over a mile, he managed to get run over by a Japanese destroyer. Anyone whose last name was not Kennedy would have spent the remainder of the war in the Portsmouth Naval Prision for dereliction of duty.

JFK once, in an unguarded moment, commented that he first learned of the Great Depression when he was studying at Harvard.
Yet he is somehow regarded as a champion of the common man.

Can't remember where, but I once saw some handwritten letters from JFK during his college years.
He couldn't spell "cat" and the letters were really pretty awful for somebody in what was then a good college.
JFK's father hired a professional writer to ghostwrite JFK's senior thesis.

It just goes to show you that degrees don't necessarily mean a whole lot, do they johnny?

According to Trump......Rubio's a "leightweight chocker" and "a great honer" to win Thursday night's debate, obviously a self-proclaimed victory.
Now wonder why "Trump University" is under regulatory scrutiny!

Does anyone, with the sense it takes to pour piss out of a boot, actually think Trump posts his own Tweets?
Of course Elkindoofus, who would not know how to pour piss out of a boot, does believe Trump posts his own Tweets. Because the libtard Web site where he gets his programming tells him so.

If I were a billionaire, I'd have hired hands to do the tweeting.
Heck, I'd hire somebody to do my exercise for me.

That's a leightweight response Justme...
Blame the intern from Trump U who paid 35 grand for an assortment of CDs and the honer of taking a photo with a cardboard cutout of Trump for posting the tweets...

Rubio actually had the balls for once in his life and called out Trump for what he is...a con artist.
Trump Gold Elite???

No, Rubio didn't gain the courage to use the description "con artist."
That angle, that label, was arrived at carefully by GOP focus groups desperate for some way to take down Trump's candidacy.
Rubio, a freshman senator with a lot of financial chaos in his own life, is more like a con artist than Trump who has built a very good business over many decades.
I say that as somebody who actually likes Rubio other than his prior support for an amnesty bill.
