6. I have always felt the G.O.P picks our candidates.

I am glad they picked Obama.

10. Maybe I'm an oddball, but I want each party to nominate their best and brightest.

Any one of the other Republican candidates in the 2016 race would have made a better President than Trump. Whether they could have defeated Hillary is another matter altogether, but at least the race would have been between two people who were head and shoulders above Trump as far as intelligence and capability.

13. He may have been inept, but he doesn't have the mean, hateful streak that Trump has.

He probably would have listened to his advisors, as well.

11. One thing wrong with that theory.

This isn't a normal GE with a normal incompetent and anyone that sees it that way is just asking for defeat.
