You're crazy. Trains never break down, derail or are delayed. :roll:
Just make laws that forbid trains breaking down and put up no derailment signs everywhere.

I honestly had never seen much of the woman until I watched her in an interview on Meet the Press Daily this evening. After watching her in that interview I think people who dismiss her do so at their peril. And, no, it's not like Trump. Trump comes off as a buffoon. In that interview I watched, at least, she came off as articulate and quick on her feet. Even her vocabulary was impressive. She said some things I think are incorrect. But she was very persuasive in the way she handled herself.

Maybe the interview I watched was an exception. I don't know. But she handled herself very well. If Republicans are thinking of making her the villain and calling attention to her they may want to rethink that strategy. They do NOT want to give that woman oxygen because she's very effective.

She’s young and will have her share of gaffs but she’s clearly smarter than the POTUS and 3/4’s of Congress. (Not that either is saying much).

I said that she said some things I think are incorrect. I'm just talking about how effective she is at presentation. I do not agree with her philosophy of government at all. I'm just telling you she's formidable. That's the first time I've watched her in complete context and saw how she comes off as she handles herself. And she is good. Very good. I don't think the Republicans want to raise her up and make her a figure that gets a bunch of air time so that people in the "middle" will become familiar with her and hear her speak at any length. Yes they can fire up their base with her. But they risk having her end up convincing the "middle" to go the other way. I think they'd be better off ignoring her and trying to make sure she stays as much out of the public eye as possible.

BTW I after watching her for the first time in an extended interview I am even more convinced that if there were a debate between her and Trump she would absolutely annihilate him. It would be quick young brain vs. old buffoon. That's how it would come off. No doubt.

Trump is a buffoon but JSO's hatred for all things Trump blinds him from being able to see anything positive about the orange man.

I do have to give AOC credit, she has balls 10x the size of Trump's. Her plans are bold and specific (compared to Trump's such as his replacement for Obamacare which was going to be "much better and much less expensive"). I don't agree with her plan but at least she's willing to put something out there and like Daniel Burnham said "Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood." Maybe we need more bold politicians who are willing to stick their neck out and propose bold things.

I don't know if that's true or not. But I am pretty confident that if this woman squared off in a debate against Trump she would destroy him. I really don't know if the "Old vs. Young" idea that "Old" wins holds anyway.

Well, this isn’t necessarily a positive about Trump specifically - but if Hillary had won we would have a significantly more liberal SCOTUS

That’s all Ive got

AZ posted a long list of things that could be considered positive accomplishments. I don't agree with all of them but there are definitely some positive accomplishments on there. I also don't think the trade spat with China is a bad thing for reasons that I've posted before as well.

CID's right about the Supreme Court as well.

The issue with Congress and the President isnt’ that they’re dumb. It’s that they think the rules don’t apply to them. And I’m not certain that her stupidity isn’t MORE dangerous than that.

What do you think is positive about him?
-Judicial appointments
-Tax cuts
-Getting tougher on illegal immigration
-Nixing the Iran Deal
-Pulling out of the Paris Climate deal.
-Getting deadbeat NATO countries to pledge to pay more.
-Getting tough on China. A trade war is bad, but China we have a massive trade deficit with China, they put tariffs on US goods, they manipulates their currency, and commit economic espionage on a massive scale.
-Pulling out Syria
-Cutting regulations

That's just off the top of my head..
