Bill Weld (Libertarian VP candidate) on Trump

Recommended Posts

www.johnsonweld.com/statement_by_gov_bill_weld_regarding_the_final_weeks_election

“A President of the United States operates every day under a great deal of pressure — from all sides, and in furtherance of many different agendas. With that pressure comes constant criticism.

“After careful observation and reflection, I have come to believe that Donald Trump, if elected President of the United States, would not be able to stand up to this pressure and this criticism without becoming unhinged and unable to perform competently the duties of his office.

“Mr. Trump has some charisma and panache, and intellectual quickness. These qualities can be entertaining. Yet more than charisma, more even than intellectual ability, is required of a serious candidate for this country’s highest office. A serious candidate for the Presidency of the United States must be stable, and Donald Trump is not stable.

“Throughout this campaign, Mr. Trump has demonstrated an inability to handle criticism or blame well. His first instinct is to lash out at others. When challenged, he often responds as a child might. He makes a sour face, he calls people by insulting names, he waves his arms, he impatiently interrupts. Most families would not allow their children to remain at the dinner table if they behaved as Mr. Trump does. He has not exhibited the self-control, the discipline, or the emotional depth necessary to function credibly as a President of the United States."

Kind of a 'so what' moment here for those paying attention.

Weld and Johnson (Weld much more blatantly) have been very clear on how little they think of Trump pretty much the entire campaign.

This is just more of what we already know.

For that matter - I don't even need Weld to tell me this stuff. Trump has made it pretty obvious all by himself.

The only thing here I notice compared to the everyday spewing from the Dems and the media is that Weld puts it forth in a more direct way, without the vitriol and extra fiction. Weld is more classy than the either of the front runners, or the two VP candidates - which makes it more digestible to anyone that isn't just frothing for the daily manufactured insult fest between the two main parties. (so a lot less chance of the automatic "here they go again, I think I'll listen to a Podcast instead of this again")
