Discussion: Gallup: Trump Loses To Obama As Americans' Most Admired Man

Gallup could have polled Russians and the results would have been entirely different. All they had were Americans, and they’re not all clueless dolts.

Never thought I would ever miss a man – but I do miss this Barack fellow.

Let us not revel in symbolic victories.

That Obama is the best man to occupy the White House in a long time is without question, with honesty of Carter and charisma of JFK without the latter’s flaws.

Overall that list is pretty pathetic. Name recognition, mostly. I’ve literally known cats I admired more than two-thirds of them.

Melania does not even register.

That gotta hurt the infinitely fragile and brittle ego.

True, Matt, but the biggie is - this is really going to piss off Dotard

Ya think? :smile: I just figured it didn’t need me to re-say it again a second time.

The loss to Obama is not a surprise. But I refuse to believe that Donnie is 15 x more popular than the Dalai Lama, or that Pence made the list at all. Fake News!!

Trump: Fake! Fake! Fake! The poll does not include Russians and is therefore very very biased towards the black guy.

I’m serious, I think as a society we need to do better, a lot better, at figuring out who’s admirable and who isn’t.

If Trump needs a win he has to enter the biggest ass-hole pole.

Y’know, I bet Truman would have lost to MacArthur in 1950/51, and he would have been upset about it, too. But he wouldn’t launch into a public screed and call the poll rigged (as Trump is sure to do presently).

I see Ivanka didn’t make the list at all. Must have been those ugly knock-off shoes she sells. Or maybe inflatable vinyl sex dolls aren’t eligible.
And why is it that the media always screams that Hillary is supposedly more unpopular than Trump, but whenever there’s a poll about the most admired people, she’s always at the top of the list?

FOX: Trump is a leader of White People. Only Whites can be in this poll, both as voters and as a contestant. Kenyans were never real amerikkkans.

Pence made it because some Teabagger living in French Lick, Indiana voted for him to be on the list. Gallup goes out of their way to suck up to Republicans.

Fierce competition for that one:

Sean Scammity, Jim ‘Jerk-off’ Jordan(R-Nohio), TCruz, Gohmert, … i could go on 'til darkness falls on Hawaii.

For those things to happen my compadre, we have to stop letting this country become a third world country. Education does matter.
