Discussion: Obama: Trump Not 'Equipped To Deal With The Problems Of This Office'

Mr. President, this has to be the understatement of the year.

The President is correct of course, and it is the duty of every Democratic voter to make sure it doesn’t happen, even if your preferred candidate isn’t the nominee. It’s also true, I think, that it’s the duty of every Republican voter to keep Trump out of the Oval Office, but we can’t rely on them to do the right thing.

I’m with the President here but…

I do think he’d be better off speaking more about the need to defeat Trump by turning out more voters. That and highlighting the equal need to vote out of office those RW senators, representatives, governors, state level legislators, et al and replace those strident wingers with Democrats or even Independent/Progressive legislators. Straight ticket voting and a big turnout s/b his goal from here on out.

That’s always his goal and you can always rely on him for that. Maybe, unlike 2010 and 2014, we finally have Dems who won’t try to run AWAY from Obama the way the Republicans are going to try running away from Trump. You’ll see him get very very active with campaigning over the summer.

You are correct…on another thread there have been 2 polls by GOP leaning pollsters one from
NC and one from Florida…both showing Clinton ahead…you should see the denial emanating from the Trumpsters…

The plural is probably misplaced. Pretty sure this is the same idiot who’s been coming here saying stuff like this under one name or another for seven or eight years now.

At least CrookedHillary didn’t put in the "libtard: they usually include. No wonder Trump is so popular with them, they all have 3rd. grade talking skills(and now I just insulted 3rd. graders everywhere).
I waiting for someone to ask Trump for his college grade and produce a “legal” birth certificate. The same with Canadian Cruz!

“Straight ticket voting and a big turnout s/b his goal from here on out.”

Most states don’t allow “straight ticket” voting. Repub controlled states have seen to it that straight ticket voting disappears as another means of suppressing the vote. It takes more time to vote creating longer lines at the polls and confusion. We need a huge turnout and we need to stress how important it is to vote all the down ticket races.

Hey, consider the source - the pant-load that monkey’s dumping on TPM reflect that hurried username or handle…

One thing is clear about Drumpf’s followers, branding insults like Obozo or “crooked”-whatever is all it takes to titillate their lizard brain.

I can’t wait to see The Pres. unleashed on the campaign trail this fall. It will be a beautiful thing judging from the last few months of Obama candor.

Not to worry. When we have our nominee, the President will be making the case better than anyone

Our President Obama will be very active once the nominee is settled. He is correct about drumpf.

I just want Bernie to quit helping drumpfie…He says he is a Dem and has run under that tent…

One thing he’s most beautiful at is showing how empty the GOP’s simplistic pandering is, and showing how a real leader deals with the complexity of reality. And he does that in ways everyone can relate to. And man, is that going to be a welcome skill this cycle. Also his serious, adult, non-clown nature will be in stark contrast to, shall we say, those who lack that quality.
