I prefer that to a craven opportunist who has schemed since college to do whatever is necessary and to destroy as many people as needed to get to the Presidency which she sees as her birthright

Not naming any names

Loser playbook #1: If you're going to lose, just say you didn't want to win in the first place.

Losers lose.

Eight years from now, we're all gonna get a big belly laugh when Trump in a nostalgic end of run interview gloats, "Ya know?... Funny thing is... I never really wanted this job."

I read a couple books about Reagan several years ago. One of the things I liked about him was that he didn't aspire to be president, and had to be pressured and harangued by others in the GOP to run for president. Kind of like what Race said, it's preferable to someone who is desperately crazed for power.

Didn't aspire so much that he ran four times. But still.

Are you saying Trump isn't desperately crazed for power?

He ran in '76, '80 and '84 for reelection.

I didn't know that. It's a red herring argument you're making, but nevertheless I learned something there.

Trump doesn't want to be president because his shit has to go into a blind trust. Now that he's in the lead, his power crazed ego is taking over.

HTH
