He's a business man. He can and has made deals with just about everyone in society and other countries. He knows how to bring sides together and make a plan work. That's a good thing in my book.

Trump does deals like a Mafia boss.

business deals are easier to make, both sides are after profit. Political deals are not so easy, and i see no evidence that trump has that ability. What i have seen is trump suing to get his own way.

Being president, like being CEO, involves a lot of finding good people and delegating.  it's not a one man show.  I wonder why people think the president must be perfect and possess perfect abilities in every way.  I think has proven in the business world that he knows how to find the right people for the job at hand.  I think this will translate well to the presidency.

You and I agree 100%, you are absolutely correct.   After the 1st debate, I was saying the same thing, we need strong leadership, a man committed to the USA (unlike the current administration).   But, that could apply to ANY of the GOP candidates.   

What is the BASIS for finding good people, making good decisions for America?   Every candidate ought to adhere to the US Constitution, or they are in violation of the law which governs this land.  Being a delegator, deal maker, while noble is admirable, but there's much more to being a good President.   The US Constitution is not a list of suggestions, agreed?  The Bill of Rights is a list of OUR rights, as citizens of the USA - any deviation from those rights is in violation of the law, right?   

This isn't a popularity contest, it is deciding which individual is best suited to protect our Freedom and Liberty, as outlined by those two documents for starters.

Another Trump talking point destroyed.

There certainly is food for though on the "wiseness" of blindly accepting that his success in Real Estate translates automatically to future success as a president.

He is a slickster business man who has flip flopped on so many issues that if he were a politician he would be considered a slime ball. He cares about one thing. Himself.

I don't know of anyone who expects the president to be perfect, but then I don't know that many straw people.
