I try to save my breath on this stuff but it seems clear to me that not only is Trump an ignoramus, but he also assumes he's as well informed as anybody else. People talk about him as if he's a typical political liar. He's not informed enough to be a typical political liar. He's seemingly comfortable making his remarks because it never seems to cross his mind that other people (a LOT of other people) know a ton about the topics he chimes in on with zero fundamental understanding. I take him at his word when he asks "who knew healthcare could be so complicated?" What a horrible situation we're in.

Or who was joshing the statement above his post.And a guy who apparently didn't detect - or maybe who wanted to attack - Mark's implied dws.
Or perhaps his point is that the only bad war is any war on US soil, no matter the cause for which it is fought.
I dunno . . . hard to tell.

While we're at it, want to try and explain this one...
He is an ignoramus. He's not stupid, but he apparently doesn't care much about learning more than he already knows - or thinks he knows. There are millions just like that in this country, but none of them are President. Unfortunately, about the best we can hope for is that he'll learn to rely on people that aren't ignorant. People like Mattis, for example.I try to save my breath on this stuff but it seems clear to me that not only is Trump an ignoramus, but he also assumes he's as well informed as anybody else.

I've been careful in conversations elsewhere to attend to that distinction between 'ignorant' and 'stupid/dumb'; the latter is, imo, genuinely a mean and harsh statement about anybody and might be explained by a lot of sympathetic causal factors.He is an ignoramus.

Although I don't think he's stupid as far as intelligence goes, I'm appalled by him. I dislike his ignorance, his personality and the way he speaks, among many other things. He's not what I want in a President. It particularly galls me that the GOP had some good solid candidates that I would have been happy to see as President and could have beaten (I think) a very bad Democratic candidate, but this guy won the nomination. I hope this is out of the voters' system by 2020.I've been careful in conversations elsewhere to attend to that distinction between 'ignorant' and 'stupid/dumb'; the latter is, imo, genuinely a mean and harsh statement about anybody and might be explained by a lot of sympathetic causal factors.
All that aside, Trump is, keeping the above in front of mind, a total dumbass; derogatory sense intended. It's appalling regardless of one's political leanings.

An objective, rational thinking GOPer that doesn't make excuses for this #assclown.A unicorn?
There are far too many of us to be unicorns.An objective, rational thinking GOPer that doesn't make excuses for this #assclown.
Many of your natural allies seem to be falling into the temptation of rationalization, though.There are far too many of us to be unicorns.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump-the-problem-of-militant-ignorance Here is an article that speaks to that. The worst kind of ignorance.I try to save my breath on this stuff but it seems clear to me that not only is Trump an ignoramus, but he also assumes he's as well informed as anybody else.

If your vote was about the Supreme Court, then the Democratic candidate didn't matter, did it?Well..., I actually voted for him and so far I've gotten what I thought I had figured I'd get: an A-- who is just smart enough to surround himself with some very good people (such as Mattis) and most importantly I'd get two or more centrist Supreme Court Justices put on the Court.
To me, at least, the Supreme Court nominees were always at least half of what the last election was all about. The other half was (for me) that I truly believe Hillary belongs in jail.
The Donald being in there is going to be just one long roller coaster ride, with someone like me who voted for him just hoping the ride just never comes completely off the rails and that the grown ups he's hired are actually at the controls...
Much of what he says should simply be expected to be indefensible gibberish that is closer to unfiltered, stream of consciousness stuff, than any type of measured wisdom...
The Dems literally gave me no choice other than him. How the other 80 Repub canidates blew it is still a mystery...
You're joking right?If your vote was about the Supreme Court, then the Democratic candidate didn't matter, did it?
If you think Hillary is some kind of leftist goddess, you've got a lot to learn. The far left of the party by and large hated her, and for good reason.You're joking right?
Hillary's nominees would have been so far left of center one would have thought that they'd all grown up in Berkeley, CA.
So the left despised her and labor abounded her but the Russians influenced the election. Really.If you think Hillary is some kind of leftist goddess, you've got a lot to learn. The far left of the party by and large hated her, and for good reason.

Then we had something in common after all (myself & the far left). Who knew.If you think Hillary is some kind of leftist goddess, you've got a lot to learn. The far left of the party by and large hated her, and for good reason.
I lack your perspective. Which is basically "GRRR LIBERALS!"Eat me. You are a kid with a lack of perspective.
My point went over your head. You were going to vote for the GOP candidate no matter what. Hillary is extremely moderate . That's why so many people were upset that she got the nomination, not BErnie. You have to know that. Hillary far left of cenetrbis laughable.You're joking right?
