Hillary Clinton

A U.S. presidential election isnt some political entertainment show - it is a selection process that shapes our collective future.
The presidential primaries are a vetting process designed to weed out candidates who lack the vision, character, judgment, experience, knowledge or temperament to assume the monumental responsibilities of the presidency.
On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton has demonstrated an abundance of each of those presidential attributes. In glaring contrast, two men sit atop the 2016 Republican primary field who, despite their accomplishments, lack the vision, character, judgment, experience, knowledge or temperament to become President of the United States....
The boundary most people draw between thought and speech, between emotion and action, does not appear to exist for Trump. He says what he wants to say, insults whom he wants to insult, and never, ever considers apology or retreat.
That those insults include degrading and sexist comments about women should alone disqualify Trump from the presidency. But theres much more. Ruth Marcus talks about Trumps boastful ignorance and questionable temperament:
The primary ingredient and the fundamental attribute that disqualifies Trump from the presidency is temperament. This is a catchall that includes the capacity to lead and inspire; qualities of integrity and discipline; aspects of personality that range from steadiness to charm.
Trumps temperament issues are
distinctively Trumpian: his incessant need for self-aggrandizement, his reflexive intolerance for being disrespected. These form a dangerous brew in a potential president, equal parts narcissism and its mirror image, insecurity.
Donald Trump shouldnt be president, but its not because he doesnt know the difference between Hezbollah and Hamas, or Quds and Kurds. Its because he isnt embarrassed by this ignorance, or at least pretends not to be....
In the public consciousness, Ben Carson used to be the grape jelly to Donald Trumps chock-full-of-nutty peanut butter. He was the seemingly mild-mannered straight man to Trumps loud-mouthed crassness. Yet hes gone so far off the rails these days as to appear borderline unhinged, certainly out of touch with reality. Ben Carson is, in the words of another genius Andy Borowitz report, single-handedly shattering the stereotype that brain surgeons are smart....
Chronic prevarication is the least of our concerns about Carson. Like Trump, Carsons sense of self is so inflated that he clearly doesnt belong anywhere near the presidency....
Simply put, Donald Trump and Ben Carson are unfit to be president. With each passing day, it becomes clearer that Hillary Clinton is Americas best (and only) choice to keep the God Complex away from the nuclear button.

I don't want either of them anywhere near the Presidency.
