And i can post pieces reflecting the opposing view. And i will, later. Gotta go for now.
But if you think hes not light years better than what hillary plans...youre bonafide crazy. Later!
He's about a half a light second better than Hillary. He is an authoritarian statist who doesn't like his power challenged. He is nothing what our founding fathers envisioned. I doubt he can name more than two of them and doesn't care what they actually believed. It's painfully obvious he has no clue about anything they ever said.
Being better than Clinton is hardly a resounding endorsement. Hes better than a piece of shit too.
To say hes only a half a light second better than hillary is absurd, based on his scotus wish list alone.
As for the rest of your post, how do you know any of that? Do you know him? Have you ever worked for him? Because hes never held office before, so you have no past public service performance to cite to base those pronouncements on.
As for him being ignorant of our history, yeah...Wharton and the University of Pennsylvania are well known for turning out dumb asses.
And as for the founders, heres a quote from your favorite:
Here were the words of the first President to take extra constitutional action:
"[a]
strict observance of the written law is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to the written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the ends to the means."[1]
They were spoken by
Thomas Jefferson in his defense of the Louisiana Purchase, something not allowed under the constitution.
