Bush is easily the smartest on the stage.

I haven't seen Trump or Carson talk intelligently about anything.

As is, either would be the most inexperienced president we've ever had. Neither have any government or military experience. It would be the first time an individual with no military or government experience would be in charge of the military and government.

Plus, neither of them can talk intelligently about anything, or so I have seen. Whenever they have the opportunity they don't capitalize. Carson doesn't even seem to be into the process, because half the time he can't even answer the question, he will tell some anecdotal story like he is at a cocktail party and it is like DUDE YOU ARE DEBATING TO BE POTUS NOT CHARM PEOPLE BY BEING THE SMART BLACK GUY THEY LET IN TO THE COUNTRY CLUB.

Also, he is self-hating as hell. He has internalized the conservative hatred toward Black Power that would stop him from ever being an effective black president. I feel like the world is finally starting to respect us again after the Bush years and that electing rank amateurs who can't speak intelligently without being coached for god knows how long to talk about the basics of things people like Caedus and Bogie are able to talk about in exhaustive nuance. I mean, a candidate for president should know more about being president than PaRD members right? I'm pretty sure a few of us have him beat in these debates EZ. Why are they there?

And before "you can't separate siamese twins Skinned", I've never known any president to have to and there are plenty of people here who can do things Ben Carson can't. We're talking about being president, not being a doctor or social worker or computer scientist or hair stylist and what have you.

On a side note im finally working my way through that sociology book you recommended. After advanced organic and physical chemistry this is welcome light reading.

bringing up archaic terminology that doesn't even work anymore is anything short of a loaded question.

Stop making excuses. Trump is incompetent, end of story. This is just one in a long line of foreign policy gaffs that proved it beyond a reasonable doubt.

you sound like trump when you use 'incompetent'. he has built a life time of success and you somehow seem to think otherwise.

He had a 200 million handout and has grown it at the same rate as the stock market by abusing bankruptcy law. Even if his business skills were transferrable to the presidency he still wouldn't be exceptionally qualified.

Oh really ? So, the guy that graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in Latin American affairs is more intelligent than the neurosurgeon from Yale ? He's smarter than the lawyer from Princeton/Harvard law school? Refrain from speaking on things in which you apparently know nothing about.



$200 million to $4.5 billion strictly from taking advantage of chapter 11 bankruptcy laws huh ?

A person who has made a 10 billion fortune legally by himself, doesnt seem incompetent in my opinion.

If Hillary wins the democratic primaries, Trump will be for sure the president of the USA. Now, if socialist Bernie wins the democratic primary, then it will be a tough fight for the presidency.

Anyway, it seems Hillary will win the democratic domination, so it seems Trump will have it easy.

Trump wont be able to do 75% of the stuff he says he will try to do because the power in the USA is in the hands of the establishment, not the president. They will block him non-stop during the 4 years.

You should actually make statements that apply to Trump. A 200 million dollar handout from daddy and a pre-built company isn't "by himself". If you want somebody who actually did it by himself you would be asking Warren Buffett to run.

Amassing money isn't a skill that matters to being president regardless. Incompetent depends on what position you are talking about. Donald Trump has no place on that stage.
