As Stormy Daniels tells her story, six conservative Americans debate whether Trump is a role model

As Stormy Daniels tells her story, six conservative Americans debate whether Trump is a role model

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/as-stormy-daniels-tells-her-story-six-conservative-americans-debate-whether-trump-is-a-role-model/2018/03/28/bb4f258a-2f86-11e8-b0b0-f706877db618_story.html?utm_term=.e59fc32d09bb

Sarah Wiseman, Elkhart, Ind.: “How much of it am I willing to put up with?” Wiseman said. “I think it’s going to have a huge impact on his next election if he doesn’t tone it down just a little bit.”

Beth Eads, Spring Hill, Tenn.: “I will not put myself in a situation where someone can question my integrity. Donald Trump has not done that,” Eads said on Saturday morning, sitting in her kitchen as the dishwasher ran and her teenage daughters worked on homework. “He has never put boundaries around himself. He has been around women by himself, touched women — and so when things are being questioned, people can’t say, ‘No, he would never do that.’ There is always a question.”

Taylor Richards, Athens, Ohio: She added that people have become accustomed to their presidents having shortcomings and that if former president Barack Obama faced similar accusations, it would not be a big deal. Richards said Daniels’s accusations are yet one more reason for Democrats who already hate the president to hate him more.

Delores Chavez Harmes, Valley Center, Calif.: She said that Trump has proved himself as “a great role model” on the world stage by being firm, articulate and strategic. But she would like to see him send fewer tweets and use more care in picking his words.

He is exactly as horrible as I thought he would be. And in his pathetic life, He has never been role model.

is a perfect example of a women who would be a Democrat is she wasn't brainwashed by the church:

"She worries that scandals involving the president have diverted attention from much more important issues, especially lowering the cost of medical care and creating a legal pathway to citizenship for immigrants who are in the country illegally, ending the deportations that are ripping families apart."

but electing Trump created these "scandals" and gave them a spotlight, not to mention making all of the aforementioned problems worse.

They care about Democratic issues, they just don't realise that they are Democratic issues. It just needs to be hammered home to them that Trump lied to them and that he isn't delivering what he promised.

If "firm" means changing your positions by the hour.

If articulate means making no sense at all.
“Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.”

If "Strategic" means talking crazy and making stuff up as he goes along.

so they probably couldn't find any.

To be fair, one of the six is African American and another one is Hispanic so they obviously made the effort.
