A great salesman can make a horrendous president, and have lots of other issues and proclivities that make him worse still, but a great salesman also has skills that are useful to the nation at certain times. All those things can be true.<br /><br />To me, it's not indigestible unless one needs bad things to be 100% bad. I opted out of that mindset watching Republicans indignantly rejecting conservative proposals the moment Obama embraced them, and shouting down patently reasonable statements/actions just because they came from Obama. That dynamic really disgusted me and I promised myself I'd never be twisted into that sort of irrationality and hypocrisy.<br /><br />James Leffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645526020049321126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640470443420164863.post-41623957511859728792020-05-05T08:53:28.795-04:002020-05-05T08:53:28.795-04:00Thanks Jim, your thoughts are always interesting. ...Thanks Jim, your thoughts are always interesting. This one is difficult to digest but certainly attests to the need for a positive attitude even when we are enveloped in bull shit. The salesman is necessary, we know the baggage the top guy carries and at the same time we are subject to the moment, perhaps sickened by our participation, but maybe aware that your point has merit, even though we are subject to a criminal enterprise. Those of extreme wealth may compromise and bend with greater ease while others of sufficient education burn with hatred maybe to their detriment. Your comments while worthy are uncomfortable to consider but thank you.Teddyrakowski@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.com
