which one

davidif:


Yes, FDR had his flaws but he did not have the same temperament nor was he a demagogue as Donald Trump. How hard is that to understand? This is a man who is about to have the nuclear launch codes for goodness sakes. Gosh!


dem·a·gogue
deməˌɡäɡ/
noun

a political leader who seeks support by appealing to popular desires and prejudices rather than by using rational argument.
synonyms: rabble-rouser, agitator, political agitator, soapbox orator, firebrand, fomenter, provocateur
"he was drawn into a circle of campus demagogues"

For realz, its really scary.


For some reason, i feel that this guy is the Manchurian candidate.

Anyways, this election shows that no human political system is perfect.

EmpressOfHearts:


Interesting perspective@Manchurian candidate... I concur... there's no form of government - democracy, republic, etc that doesn't have its flaws when there are humans involved.

Abi o, even Wintson Churchill is famous for saying that Democracy is the worst form of govt...except for all the others.

Who knows what the Russians have on him.

But the thing is that as flawed as democracy is, the election of Trump shows a chink in the American electoral system. Its as if God wanted to show us the fallibility of the best of man made systems.

davidif:


Of course, you would love a dictator, you are an African.

EmpressOfHearts:


Mike Moore in Trumpland... check it out

cao:

He has a problem with a singular Fox News presenter, 'cause she called him. He doesn't seem to have a problem with Fox News as a whole, who are also known for their very biased media - pro-Republican. They're so pro-Republican, it even borders on idiocy in some instances...eg the whole nonsense on Obama liking mustard instead of ketchup on his burger.

im an african Yes,but im one with a class,hw insensitive n disrespectful u are to term potus a dictator.guess ure one of those blacks he should deport first cos u guys make noise more dan the original owners of america.

This is the only part that addressed the issue in discuss, I had to weed out the others because they were irrelevant and unnecessary digressions.

Cheers.

Trump is only discrediting himself no in fact he is solidifying his brand [/b]with his consistent irrational comments [b] every politician, every single one does the same and erratic a pig is a pig no matter how much make up you put. Trump simply doesn't use make up behaviors and he cant win the war with the media because their are so many media organizations he will have to contend with.
hate to break it to you
He can
He did
He will (OK I'm just guessing no this one but he has a pretty good track record defying all odds beating 21 career politicians, reducing a petulant arrogant news anchor to nothingness and beating Obama Clinton her husband and Bernie at the same damn time all while being harangued by this so called unbeatable media)

It's true that all you have to do is make a god bleed and the sharks or wolves will do the rest.
Now everyone knows that the media can be beaten
Trying to run America like the way he runs his Trump business or The Apprentice TV show where he plays the role of the Boss will definitely be his undoing.

[s]same way Hillary thought she could weed out coal belt and rural blue collar ppl. Continue to bury your head in the sand ,you will not fare well in politics with this attitude[/s] IRRELEVANT GIBBERISH

davidif:


Is that the job of the commander in chief? Tit for tat? This is a seventy year old man not an elementary school student for goodness sakes and you are cheering him on. He is supposed to be above that and to be gracious to those who have wronged him and be the uniter in chief. Wow! God bless.

Baba4dgals:
we are all human biko...

Why did bubu divde naija nd refer to dos dat didn't vote for him as "other 5%"

And I believe CNN should av had more experience in election related issues than going against a man nd supporting another...

Let's call a spade a spade

davidif:


That's the difference between Naija and yanki. Americans hold there leaders to a higher standard than they do others. That's why there country has worked for centuries unlike Naija where a leader would be corrupt and the people from his village will still be supporting him even if he is under investigations.

abbey621:


I'm already getting tired of this! No one is comparing FDR's greatness to Trump, for goodness sake FDR is listed as one of the greatest. The debate is can a flawed president also be great? So far, you have not disproved my point that being flawed does not automatically make you a disastrous or unsuccessful president. So leave your definition to the side and argue based on facts! Election is over, Trump is the president, judge him after 4 years like every president!

Baba4dgals:
and what's ur say on CNN as experienced as they are, openly supporting a candidate over another

davidif:


Openly support a candidate? Like Breitbart news and conservative radio openly supported Trump? The fact that they were critical of Trump is because Trump is the most flawed candidate to ever run for a party ever. Never have we seen a guy with so many character flaws and transgressions as this guy and maybe that's why the media focused inordinately on him than the other candidate. This is a guy who openly made racist, xenophobic remarks about minorities and people of different religions.

davidif:


Its not the job of the press to be friendly to a candidate but to hold them accountable and no one had more flaws than Trump.

mikolo80:
they fell in line after her debacle, they know how much money they didn't make when he refused to appear on their network. Money rules and everyone likes a winner

lofty900:
why didn't they hold Hilary Clinton for all her atrocities in Libya and Iraq?

Baba4dgals:
well IMO no matter his flaws the media house shud av remain professional and stay neutral btwn d contestants

lofty900:
Right from the days of the campaign we all know that CNN is anti trump

gemale:

Dey r anti-stupid & pro-fact. Hw else do u treat som1 so daft dt he thinks global warming is a Chinese hoax & so pathological a liar dt he accused Ted Cruz' s father of killing J. F Kennedy & Barack Obama of nt being born in d US, except wt disdain & animosity? SMH. D USA electoral college (nt d pple) hv chosen a clown as president; let Dem nt lament when their coun3 becomes a cirque de freak.

dis paves d way for China to be d next wrld power

If CNN is fake, then tell me what news source is credible?

muscoliscious:

did CNN told you Obama and the elites are trying to start World War 3 by fighting Putin for fighting their ISIS and freeing Syria, did they tell you what Gaddafi did that they had to kill him, Did CNN not tell you Trump will loose against Killary Klinton,did they tell you who Seth Rich is & why he was murdered and why tell said it's suicide, have they told you how people that worked for the Clinton's keep dying for knowing too much but it's always suicide, have they told you about Pizzagate? I guess you don't know all these
