You had no concerns over Hillary's many decades of 'baggage'?
I did.
No, but I was very concerned and alarmed by Trump's. By November 2016, we had enough information to know that Trump was a narcissistic, low-information, morally incompetent lifetime liar and fraud. If Hillary had baggage, Trump had two limos full of baggage. Trump had lost lawsuits for fraud. He famously cheated his employees and contractors. He had tawdry affairs with porn stars. He had multiple bankruptcies. He was an admitted serial sexual predator.
Are you one of those, "I had no choice but to vote for Trump. Hillary had too much baggage. Trump was the lesser of evils"
Benghazi and email servers don't compare to Trump's baggage.
Did you forget that Trump was also Putin's choice? How do you think he's feeling about his handiwork now? Why did so many Americans want the candidate that an American-hating thug like Putin preferred?
But you had to vote for Putin's choice because Hillary had too much baggage.
A good leader owns up to their cases of poor judgement
You mean a good leader accepts blame unless he's Trump. In his case, he can remain a good leader in your eyes however many mistakes he makes and however many times he tries to shift the blame.
When has Trump ever admitted a mistake? He doesn't. But even though that's what a Democrat should have done in your eyes, you have a separate standard for Trump.
Now McConnell is blaming Pelosi and the Democrats for Trump's failure to lead, saying that impeachment distracted him. What is he, a cat distracted by a laser? Maybe if the Senate had acted honorably and impeached him, Pence would have done a better job.
But American government is failing at multiple levels.
Trump could work on his charming approach in favor of more diplomacy. It undermines his policies which are sounder than his diplomacy often is.
His lack of diplomacy is not a minor problem. It's why so many millions of people in the world detest him and America's standing on the world stage has fallen under Trump. It's why he initiated trade wars with China and offended them with this "China virus" thing. His ham-handedness has offended American allies who no longer trust the US. He provoked the North Koreans with his mouth.
He probably did make a mistake or two... who hasn't
One mistake is all it takes, such as underestimating the threat of the virus to Americans. That will cost untold numbers of Americans their lives - those that die from overcrowding who could have survived their illness if the system were not overwhelmed. Maybe somebody you love.
Smooth move..! Shifting the blame flawlessly.
Isn't that the purpose of this thread - to deflect attention from Trump's failures to a few Democrats in New York? There was only one national leader, and he failed the entire country. No discussion about the failure in leadership at a local level is relevant in the face of Trump's massive incompetence.
