The DNC decided it was better to elect a black guy than woman so they gave her Secretary of State which she fucked up so bad that they had to hide her for 4 years. These are really the 10 best people to run our country?

Pretty good endorsement here, Nicholas Burns, who has served under HW, Clinton, and W s a diplomat endorses Clinton. He was Under Secretary of State under W and was a big push in the Bush years to open up India more to the U.S.
And, before you say oh, he is just a typical Clinton supporter, look up what the guy has done. His endorsement is pretty hefty.

QuakerOatsIf someone is endorsing Clinton they are either completely ignorant, or stand to directly benefit by it. There is no way that this serial liar and incompetent bitch is remotely competent to be the president.

lol whatever you say. Your posts scream denial. Just like you are an Obama apologist, you are now becoming a Hillary apologist. This whole thread is pretty much proving Hillary is a POS. Hell, even the left isn't sure about Hillary. Don't believe me, look at the polls. She is neck and neck with a fucking socialist LOL. Yet, you want to go out of your way to post an endorsement that will most likely be overshadowed by everything in the media in the grand scheme of things. Do you actually need an endorsement to help decide your vote, or are you just posting that to feel better about voting for Hillary? You parade his accolades, yet you dismiss Belly's (regardless of his posting behavior), because he disagrees with you. You want to parade this endorsement, yet the people who are actually close to Hillary every day, putting their lives on the line for her have unfavorable things to say about her. Somehow these people don't matter, because the SS has screwed up here and there (most likely not Hillary related either). Just like most government agencies and employees screw up here and there but you will take their word for it if it supports Hillary. Yeah, excuse me while I LMAO when you say you are not in denial.ptown_trojans_1;1782088 wrote:No, not really actually.

The ability to write, proper grammar and spell is your criteria for the decorated diplomat endorsement and leadership individuals. The list below is examples of famous individual with dysgraphia, difficulties with writing, spelling and grammar. List does not include the many with learning disabilities like dyslexia that have shaped the world you live in today.ptown_trojans_1;1782079 wrote:

Leadership is not by pen and paper but by integrity, honesty, passion and trust. Those young men who fought and followed me I didn’t have to spell out anything. Many business meeting with men and women who turned to me for solution don’t care about punctuation. To others that I meet everyday they don’t need a document of authenticity they know that I’m real deal and the only endorsement I need is me.
PT1 I respect you and enjoy your comment .. hope you would do me the same.
Alfred Mosher Butts
Unfamiliar with this name? Well, you’re probably familiar with what he created, though it might surprise you to learn that Butts was a bad speller. He created the iconic and still quite popular game Scrabble, which requires one to be adept at spelling. The inventor himself was admittedly not the best speller, often scoring only 300 points on average in a game of Scrabble.
William Faulkner
Faulkner wasn’t a truly terrible speller, but if you take a look at his original manuscripts there are some definite errors the iconic Southern author wouldn’t have wanted to see in print. Despite setting many of his famous books and short stories in the difficult to spell and pronounce Yoknapatawpha County, Faulkner’s editors confirm that despite their repeated attempts to point out his mistakes, he made spelling errors all through his career.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Few writers are so known for their bad spelling as Fitzgerald. How bad, you say? Fitzgerald wasn’t even able to spell the name of one of his closest friends, Hemingway, often misaddressing him in correspondence and papers as “Earnest Hemminway.” The editor of his collected letters called him a “lamentable speller” who struggled with words like “definite” and “criticism.” Still, his poor spelling didn’t seem to do the author any harm, and many of his works are regarded as literary masterpieces today.
Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway may not have had much room to judge when it came to his friend Fitzgerald not spelling his name correctly. Long before the days of spell check, Hemingway had to rely on newspaper and book editors to catch his mistakes, a job which they often complained would be a lot easier if he would make an effort to spell things correctly (though Hemingway retorted that that’s what they were being paid to do).
John Keats
The brilliant Keats died quite young at only 26, so one can hardly blame him for not spending time worrying about spelling in his written works. If readers want to get a taste of his more interesting spelling choices, they only need turn to his letters. They record many odd spelling choices, including the misspelling of purple as “
urplue” in a letter to his love Fanny Brawne, a misspelling which she questioned and Keats tried to cover up by saying he was creating a new combination of purple and blue.
John Irving
John Irving is another author on this list whose poor spelling was the result of dyslexia. Sadly, Irving wasn’t recognized as having dyslexia until much later in his life, stating, “The diagnosis of dyslexia wasn’t available in the late fifties “” bad spelling like mine was considered a psychological problem by the language therapist who evaluated my mysterious case. When the repeated courses of language therapy were judged to have had no discernible influence on me, I was turned over to the school psychiatrist.” Irving’s struggles with spelling affected him deeply, and he even reflects on them in one of his most famous novels, The World According to Garp, stating that English is such a mishmash of different languages that no one should ever feel stupid for being a bad speller.
Jane Austen
Jane Austen may have a place among the literary elites today, but when it came to spelling and grammar she wasn’t too handy with either. Research into her personal letters and manuscripts has exposed numerous errors in spelling and grammar that were corrected later by her early editor, William Gifford. One of her favorite misspellings? She often spelled “scissors” as “scissars.”
Fannie Flagg
Actress and author Fannie Flagg has had great success in her literary career, most notably with the novel Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe which was later adapted into a highly successful film. Yet writing never came easy to Flagg, who has dyslexia. She has said she was challenged as a writer because she was “severely dyslexic and couldn’t spell, still can’t spell. So I was discouraged from writing and embarrassed.” Flagg obviously overcame her embarrassment, and has since written numerous books and screenplays.
Albert Einstein
Being bilingual, one could hardly blame Einstein for being a bad speller in English. Yet it wasn’t just in English that Einstein struggled. He also was a pretty bad speller in his native German, and got even worse when he began using English more regularly. Of course, Einstein didn’t make those same errors when it came to writing mathematical equations, a fact that helped to make his name synonymous with genius today.
Winston Churchill
While today Churchill may be regarded as a great leader and speaker, he had a rough start in his schooling, always struggling with spelling and writing. He was a notoriously bad speller throughout his life, but he never let it hold him back. He battled through his difficulties, which also included a speech impediment, to leave his mark on the world.
Leonardo Da Vinci
Leonardo helped define the term “Renaissance man,” excelling in both the arts and the sciences, but spelling may not have been his forte. He is quoted as having once said, “You should prefer a good scientist without literary abilities than a literate one without scientific skills.” Some historians believe he may have been dyslexic (there is no way to prove that, of course) as his journals and writings are riddled with spelling errors common with dyslexics.
Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie penned some of the bestselling books ever created, but the author admitted once, “I, myself, was always recognized … as the “slow one” in the family. It was quite true, and I knew it and accepted it. Writing and spelling were always terribly difficult for me. My letters were without originality. I was … an extraordinarily bad speller and have remained so until this day.” Despite her struggles with spelling, Christie was an enormously successful writer, and has gone down in the Guinness Book of World Records as the best-selling novelist of all time.
John F. Kennedy Jr.
JFK is a figure that has fascinated the American public for decades, but what many may not know is just how bad of a speller the famous president was. He was outed for his poor spelling by his wife, Jackie, though she was a French literature major in college and would later become a book editor, so she may have been a pretty harsh critic.
W.B. Yeats
Yeats is yet another famous author who, while quite adept at writing, was pretty terrible when it came to spelling. To see examples of his spelling errors, one need only find a copy of his collected letters which contain misspellings like “feal” for “feel” and “sleap” for “sleep”. Despite his inadequacy when it came to spelling, Yeats was a prolific and very successful writer, winning a Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923.
Benjamin Franklin
Ben Franklin wasn’t a particularly good speller in his time, and actually felt that the alphabet as it stood (and still does today) was what was holding so many back from being able to spell. In a letter he once wrote, “You need not be concerned in writing to me about your bad spelling, for in my opinion as our alphabet now stands the bad spelling, or what is called so, is generally best, as conforming to the sound of the letters and of the words.” Whether you struggle with spelling or not, you have to admit he has a point, as many words are spelled quite differently than they sound. -
Heretic
You're the only one bringing up your writing skills this time; it didn't take much reasoning ability to figure out his post was stating that diplomat-dude wrote what he felt to be a compelling argument policy-wise in support of and that if you wrote one against, he would take your word as a decorated veteran. Since there is a bit of difference between making a compelling argument and simply tossing out the same buzz-words time and time again.Belly35;1782150 wrote:The ability to write, proper grammar and spell is your criteria for the decorated diplomat endorsement and leadership individuals.

I suppose it matters on how long other guys stay in the race and where their support goes when they aren't in it any more. The longer things stay as they are, with a number of guys still holding substantial amounts of support, the better things are for Trump. But if more guys who currently have actual support (ie: not people like Fiorina or Christie, who left after realizing 1% doesn't equal anything resembling success) start dropping out and their support goes to non-Trump candidates, that's when he'll be passed.Automatik;1782117 wrote:Random ?

Trump needs both Rubio and Cruz to stay in the race for as long as possible. Once either of those drop out, I would expect their support to combine into one and therefore over take Trump's lead.Automatik;1782117 wrote:Random ?

What turns me off are lying pieces of shit (Hillary) and whack jobs (Bernie & Trump). I can't stand the overzealous extreme liberals who will only vote Democrat because "well, I'm liberal!" Can't stand the righteous over the top Bible thumping Republicans either.
