http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/davidbadash/the_washington_post_editorial_board_just_sat_down_with_donald_trump_it_didn_t_go_well"We met with Donald Trump. Electing him will still be a radical risk."...
"Unfortunately, the visit provided no reassurance regarding Mr. Trumps fitness for the presidency," the Editorial Board writes....
The Editorial Board concluded Trump is "empty policy basket" who "makes almost impossible the kind of substantive debate on which democracies depend." And they slammed his "lack of clarity" as "dangerous."

(12,754 posts)It's pretty clear who their candidate is. They're in the tank for Mrs. Clinton. Have been for a long time. So, take this with a grain of salt -- not that I prefer Trump. Just that they are panicking over him.

(23,083 posts)WTF???
What war did she start based on pure deliberate lies? What personal profit did she make from wars? Hint - Cheney's net worth went up 400% while he was in office due to the sweet Halliburton deals he gave himself. Did Clinton's net worth go up 400% while Bill was in office due to war machine profits? Her war policy was Obama's war policy, she implemented his plans, not her own. She supported the Iran peace treaty, Cheney, Bush didn't.
Sorry that statement doesn't fit any of the facts.

(57,936 posts)Republican candidate. He is dangerous but very intelligent and knows how to suck up to fundamentalist Christians. He is the one they will choose to fool Republican idiots into voting for the interests of the oligarchy that is the top echelon of the Republican Party.

(4,113 posts)Around where I live, they can't stand Trump, but they would rather die before voting for Hillary. And they've indicated as much on the social media.
I've said for a long time that Repubs would vote for a Hitler/Stalin presidential ticket if they ran as Republicans. And they will rationalize their support by coming up with some nonsense that Hitler & Stalin support the sanctity of life and they're family values conservatives.

(12,319 posts)They did a very good thing by publishing those, because they show that Trump and his campaign are absolutely devoid of substance. Trump can't accuse The Post of misinterpreting this statement or that, although he'll probably try.
If you have the time, read the transcripts. So telling and really crazy frightening.

(24,411 posts)He offers no detailed solutions. Only bluster. The ideas that he does dish out are completely wacko. Besides his "wall" I don't think I've ever heard him offer any concrete policy ideas.
He is a complete embarrassment to our country--on the world's stage.
Malignant narcissism on parade.

Is it just me ? I do not see how he could even come across as remotely qualified debating either one.
Maybe the MSM will promote a dance off between candidates this year instead of political debates
