    Political talk. :shrug:

    I said she was one of the most qualified in my lifetime, not in the entire history of the country.

    Even in your lifetime she is not the most qualified.

    Obama:
    Left the economy much stronger than when he go it.
    Created thousands of jobs with his policies.
    Got thousands of people health insurance
    Sent Osama bin Laden to hell

    Little Bush:
    Opened a hole and allowed the biggest attack on American civilians ever.
    Invaded a sovereign foreign country over lies he manufactured and killed it's leader for personal reasons.
    Established Christian dogma as law by signing DOMA.
    Embarrassed the US internationally and domestically.
    Failed to secure and establish Iraq as democracy and destabilized the middle east by removing Saddam Hussein setting up for ISIS.

    I guess qualifications are not an indicator of success.

    Perhaps you forgot the hole was opened by the Clinton administration preventing the CIA and the FBI from even talking to each other?

    Perhaps you forgot that everyone voted for it. Including based on the intelligence, Hillary Clinton. (Obama wasn't in office at that point)

    Defense of Marriage Act? You mean the one that was passed into law by veto-proof majorities in the House and Senate, in other words Democrats and Republicans, and then signed into law by Bill Clinton?

    Perhaps you forgot the Russian Reset, the Apology Tour, the Syrian Red Line and a host of other things that exposed Obama as a weakling.

    Perhaps you forgot where Obama basically gave Iraq the finger and pulled most of our troops out. He was too busy getting them killed in Afghanistan which is no better off under him than it was under Bush and of course Obama was busy slaughtering people with drone missiles.

    Last but not least you might want to figure out which Bush you're talking about. It isn't the one I mentioned in my post. Nor was it the Bush that you quoted in this thread.

    Excuses and excuses. If we go with what you are saying my point remains because clearly little Bush did nothing to correct those problems despite being president.

    This is the problem with dumb ass alt right cucs. You lose no matter what your argument is because your people and philosophies are shit. I do not even know why a racist and sexist like yourself defends little Bush. Out of all the things you can say about the little one, he certainly had a very mixed staff and seemed to appreciate them all. He even tried to point out to people like you there are innocent and decent Muslims. Too bad his blunder on 9/11 was far more powerful at inspiring hate.

    No, that would be bad.

    Early to mid-February 2017 would be good. Anything beyond that is just "less bad."

    The guy is a joke, and no one can take the USA seriously while he is president.

    She wasn't even that. More qualified than Obama, sure, but just about every President from the 1970's on had more experience. Still, the experience argument is a rather lame one as there is no constitional requirement. It just means a greater learning curve and less effectiveness in actually getting laws made.
    Does anyone think either Obama or Hillary could have gotten something unpopular like the Civil Rights Act passed the way LBJ did? The man drew upon decades of experience including being both the majority whip and speaker to twist arms, punish holdouts, and cajol members of Congress to get it done because he knew how the system worked, where the pressure points were, and how to get stuff done.

    Ok. Let's forget about Dayton's criteria.

    Who knows how to do polls on XenForo? Put up a list of things that may or may not make a good president and we can all vote - let's say we each get 3 options....

    Nevermind that. I'll start a thread and everyone can list their desired qualifications. Then, we'll put up another thread and everyone can rank them in order of priority. I will put them all in a spreadsheet and based on that criteria, we can determine the most experienced going into office in @Anna's lifetime.

    That's a pretty stupid measure, considering the steady increase in population.

    No, we can't. He ran a business. And he always had to work for a living and produce something, unlike so many career civil servants who spend their entire lives without producing anything except more laws and regulations.

    Last guy, getting elected POTUS was the most significant/substantial thing he'd ever done up to that point.

    I think saying President Trump "ran a business" is stretching things more than a bit. He was born wealthy. Inherited a large existing business and used means fair and foul to dramatically expand it to me would be more accurate.

    three posts in and you started misrepresenting...

    The highest estimate is that barely 58% of eligible voters participated in the 2016 election
    of those, only 46% of whom cast a ballot for Trump.

    at best, that's only 25% of eligible voters and maybe 17% of the population if we consider the 1 in 3 Americans who aren't eligible.

    Who cares? He got up, put on a suit, and went to work every day. People have actual jobs thanks to an expanded business. What are you people, playing stupid?

    Career politicians, otoh, tax the workers and spend the money, effectively producing nothing, and skimming some and losing some through waste.
