(1,356 posts)his failure to address the nasty things his followers do *in front of him*.
And this weird insistence that his devotees have to claiming that a single thing he did 50 years ago means that he's owed something.
Not how that works. What's he done in the mean time, and how does something he did in college address his brady bill votes?
He's done a lot this year to prove that he's not a good ally at all, not to minorities, not for women, not for people desperately trying to gain and preserve access to healthcare.
Has he even acknowledged CHIP's expiration? What's he done about it? Or is he too busy with his CNN "debates" where he performs poorly and allows his opponents to distract him with his favorite canned speeches?
My issue with this man who's being heralded as some sort of glorious leader who'll get things done is that he's not leading and he's not getting much done. And anyone who dares question him is attacked, swarmed and abused in the most vile of ways on every platform, and he seems to revel in the chaos and divisiveness that follows him.
If only he was what his devotees believed him to be, but noting in the past 10 months has he stepped up. Even now, he could step up and try to smooth over the mess his people made with the convention, but he won't. That's not leadership, it's not showing any care for women, for minorities or anything other than his own ego.
My "issues" with this man is that he's enabling Trump and the GOP at every step and seems to show no signs of stopping.
