"I'd invite Mr. Trump to stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes." - POTUS




About Trump's "rigged election" horseshit:

"That is both irresponsible and, by the way, doesn't really show the kind of leadership and toughness that you want out of a president. He started whining before the game's even over? If whenever things are going badly for you and you lose, you start blaming somebody else? Then you don't have what it takes to be in this job, because there are a lot of times when things don't go our way, or my way. That's ok, you fight through it, you work through it. You try to accomplish your goals.

... and so, I'd invite Mr. Trump to stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes."

Is two of the people who've had to accomplish their goals swimming upstream against an extra huge torrent of opposition via racism and sexism.

Trump is rich and spoiled and isn't used to working for what he gets. It's always the servants' fault - or anyone he thinks is beneath him. He's a person who kicks the rungs of the ladder out from under himself because he doesn't think he will ever need to back down. He is a child who has never wanted for anything that thinks because he was born on third base that he should be awarded a home run and the highest office in the country despite not wanting to exert himself, no training, and no experience whatsoever with failure that is an inherent part of the job.

Trump is actually bringing obama's half brother (assumably somewhat unfriendly to obama) to the debate. Really?

Hillary is bringing Mark Cuban, and trump is bringing someone to annoy obama. aha. rational. that ought to help.

That the only reason Trump decided to run for president was to stand on the podium at his inauguration, with Obama standing next to him as power changed hands and lean over and whisper "see, that wasn't so hard". All of this because Obama embarrassed Trump so thoroughly at the correspondents dinner when the President commented on the "hard decisions" Trump had to make on his TV show, while all along knowing secretely the President had just given the go ahead to kill bin laden. Yes, I believe Trump is that egomaniacal. Keep in mind his offer to Kasich in which it was suggested Kasich would be the real president...

i really believe it all comes back to the multitude of "slights" poor donald has suffered. not the right reason to run for president, but then he's so infantile and soulless that nothing else ever crossed his mind, like the welfare of the country.

He could be an air traffic controller, a hostage negotiator, a skyscraper welder, a bombsquad de-fuser, a Flying Walenda, a wwing walker, a stunt man, and a Frank Zappa.

He has never broken a sweat during his entire tenure. He's 100% un-baitable.

So, please proceed, Mr. Trumpf.
