I am beginning to wonder if I should give Trump a second look
If you do please look at how he conducts himself and honestly ask yourself if it looks like he's got some issues with emotional maturity and stability. And I'm being completely serious. This is not just lashing out.

I was thinking about that again today when I saw a series of stories about his attacks on Meghan Kelly. It seems very similar to what happened with a British female reporter who produced what he considered to be an unflattering piece on him. Here's a video of her being interviewed about it:

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdCZEFueoy8[/youtube]

A story on it:

http://www.epictimes.com/2016/01/trump- ... nty-years/

And even without that you can see when you observe the guy that he acts like a 12 year old. And, again, I'm absolutely serious in saying that. I really honestly believe he's got serious issues and am horrified that people are seriously supporting the idea of having them in the President's seat.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Hey here's a good one. Check out this psychology today article on identifying childish behavior in adults:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/re ... candidates

Gee. What Presidential candidate most comes to mind when you read that? Let me see...the author of the article gives a hint:
How many of the following signs of emotional immaturity does your list include? And how many of these traits characterize Donald Trump in his interactions in the GOP Presidential Candidate debates?
I actually feel kind of validated because I just watch the guy behave and think, "Geeze. That guy acts like a middle school kid. A 12 year old ." Now I can see I'm not the only one who thought something like that. Except the author isn't thinking 12 year old. She's thinking younger:
Your personal ability to asses emotional maturity takes on strong importance during election years if you are going to vote. Children deserve a mature parent. Citizens deserve a mature President. Would you want a three-year-old to rule from the White House? Even worse, a rude and bullying three-year-old?

You can make jokes but this is serious. We have nuclear weapons. We have enemies that have nuclear weapons. We can not allow an emotionally immature narcissist with several screws loose into the President's position. We have a narcissist now but at least he is emotionally mature. He's not a nut. Donald Trump is a nut.

And yes, I am saying that having Donald Trump as President would be a lot worse and a lot more dangerous than having Barrack Obama as President. Yes, I am saying that if I had the choice between voting for Obama or Trump for President I would have to vote for Obama. THAT'S how bad the specter of having that nut case Trump for President is.

Good grief. :roll:

He's no more dangerous than Bush and Cheney, John; the 13 year old girl histrionics are overdoing it just a bit. They really are. The fact is that Chizz is right: your life won't change much regardless of who wins the election. If the establishment hates him that much its probably worth the planet-wide shame and loss of face that accompanies being the citizen of a nation that would elect such a person.

If elected, I could see Trump being a lame duck. A weak executive where the Congress might actually work together to keep him in check.

And honestly, I can see the same thing happening with Clinton. But to a lesser extent.

Good Heavens people Trump is mentally ill. He is emotionally immature and unstable. Ponder the question asked by the author of that Psychology Today article I posted:
Would you want a three-year-old to rule from the White House? Even worse, a rude and bullying three-year-old?
https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/re ... candidates

This is not a joke. You people are talking about putting a really sick, irrational puppy into the White House as though it's no big deal and might have some advantages. That's crazy.
