    Geez, have you been paying attention the last eight years? How about the current occupant of the White House?

    I trust William F. Buckley's expertise on narcissism.

    Oh, and Alma -- political threads seem to do OK. Trump threads ... not so well.

    The National Review (a big supporter of Sarah Palin in 2008, by the way) hasn't been relevant for about 30 years now. It's become a joke.

    He was a United States fucking Senator. Stop embarrassing yourself.

    I think it's Hillary threads that get Deep-6'd.

    He was a state senator in Illinois and a United States Senator. That's not the kind of person the piece is referring to. Trump. Fiorina. Cain. Carson.

    Yes. But his inexperience was an argument from Day 1.

    The word used in the passage was "entry-level."

    In no way was his presidential campaign an "entry-level" political job for Obama. I guess people just can't read.

    I'm not saying that there wasn't an inexperience argument to make, the same argument that someone could make against Cruz and Rubio. But he wasn't the kind of candidate that the piece is referring to - people whose first foray into government is through running for president.

    This is dead-on, cran.

    Let's face it, the closest thing Trump has to a plan for our country is Reagan's mantra: "government is not the solution to our problem; government IS the problem."
