Martha Stewart scorches Donald Trump: He’s ‘totally unprepared’ to be president

https://www.rawstory.com/2016/09/martha-stewart-scorches-donald-trump-hes-totally-unprepared-to-be-president/



Author, former CEO and TV personality Martha Stewart said on Sunday that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is “totally unprepared” for the job of president and declared that she will be voting for Hillary Clinton in November.

“There is so much to know and so much to learn and so much diplomacy and kindness and introspection that goes with that kind of job,” Stewart said of the presidency. “And it does not exist in the world of Donald Trump.”

“This is the most important election of the last hundred years,” she said. “We have to be very certain that we elect a person who has experience, knowledge, a base of education in the world of world politics as well as domestic politics and so obviously I’m voting for Hillary Clinton. And we just can’t have a country run by someone who is totally unprepared for what comes.”

vote for her over Trump. Hell, I'd rather take our chances by walking down any random street, ringing the bell, and annointing whoever answers.

Surprise - you're President!

But I was alone in my Martha obsession. For some reason all the women I knew disliked her, even if they hadn't seen the show or her books on entertaining, sharing Hillary Clinton's "likeability" problem. Maybe I instinctively like anyone everybody else dislikes because nobody likes me either. I understand.

She seemed somewhat humanized by the experience.

Previously she came across as an arrogant, supercilious being who took herself way too seriously.

(Here was I thinking I looked like Jennifer Anniston)

It got me atuned to news reports about her and her business empire. Then how completely unjust it was that at the time of Enron and the the disastrous Iraq war in July of 2004 - election time - she got sentenced to prison while war profiteers were ripping off our military as well as the rest of us.

A clear case of misogyny and a feeding frenzy to distract white collar male voters from paying too much attention to the broken war effort.

She is another successful woman who had to fight unjust battles.

he allowed her to do a spin off of his Apprentice show. However, I think once she had low ratings he talked bad about her. It was a long time ago so I can't remember exactly what he said...However, I think the gist of it was that she was a loser (because of the ratings).
