Members Vee Posted January 20, 2017 Members Share Posted January 20, 2017 I don't know that his heart wasn't in it in '80, but that's before my time. My mother was behind him that year, I know that much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 20, 2017 Members Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) If you can't answer conclusively why you seek the presidency, chances are, your heart isn't in it. Edited January 20, 2017 by Khan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 20, 2017 Members Share Posted January 20, 2017 I think he wanted to help people, and he (along with many others in Washington) felt Carter was in way over his head. Your mother knows a lot more about him and his campaign than I do, so I trust her judgment over mine. I just remember the Roger Mudd interview he had which was such a mess. That made me feel it was something he knew he was supposed to do but couldn't quite do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted January 20, 2017 Members Share Posted January 20, 2017 I wouldn't go that far, I'm just going off her impression of things. I do recall hearing about that interview. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 20, 2017 Members Share Posted January 20, 2017 I think he's going to be a very part-time President, other than settling grudges, attention-seeking, etc. Do we know if he's even going to live at the White House? My mother asked me and I have no idea. I know Melania won't be. I guess the one upside to this is that those who make such money and obsess so much over the whole celebrity and style side of it will have to find other shiny objects. I hope those who loved to shame Michelle Obama for not wearing the right outfits and not being the right "type" to wear their clothes will enjoy the next 4 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted January 20, 2017 Members Share Posted January 20, 2017 The President attacking the arts over criticizing or mocking him is really un-presidential behavior. Every President in modern times has been parodied or criticized, but you none of them went on deranged rants about it. George W. Bush got more mocked and criticized than anyone, yet he never ranted about it. In dictatorships, the arts are often the target of political retribution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 20, 2017 Members Share Posted January 20, 2017 It gets Trump attention. I'm sure he hates being criticized, but it's also a way to have people notice him, show how tough he is, and all that crap. We're hearing about his plans against NPR, PBS, etc. that were mostly muted about him during the election. We hear him rage at CNN, which was deferential to him many times. Yet I haven't heard of him taking any action against SNL beyond tweet tantrums. It's a mutually beneficial relationship. And Alec Baldwin getting his face out there more and more lately makes me think he sees it too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 20, 2017 Members Share Posted January 20, 2017 Sigh. Meanwhile: Trump admirer Kanye can't play the inauguration because, according to Team Trump, it's a "traditionally American" event. See, Kanye? They'll never love you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted January 20, 2017 Members Share Posted January 20, 2017 Isn't his approval rating like 30% or 35%? I doubt he'll be getting 30-35 million viewers so surely that won't be difficult. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
