So you got nothing that Trump has done that you like that no other president was likely to do. How about what you don't like. Do you think EAllusion's response to me is accurate?

LOL...if you have a point to make about EA's response make it...? See my response about draining the swamp, I am not sure any president in this current environment can come close to changing the past 30 years or so of Bush/Clinton doctrine, maybe Bernie, but we will see in that the left hates is afraid of both Bernie and Trump equally it seems.

I am off to start my day, make your point and I'll respond later tonight or tomorrow.

... non presidential personality...

This is an odd, and arbitrary, notion you propose here.
I can't help but wonder where your concept for "presidential personality " is derived from...I mean, just over my lifetime there have been several diverse "personalities" who have served as President and most have had glaring flaws and scandals from an even more diverse set of perspectives.

So, other than with the juvenile hair-fire of "anything but Trump", how do you measure what the heck a "presidential personality " is????

[_Markk]

Lets just say "traditional " Presidential public behavior, demeanor, presence, etc if you don't get what I am saying. Like not swearing on national TV. He talks at his rallies like folks talk at work, which is honest in one way, funny, and even likable in ways, and yet not traditional Presidential behavior, at least in my life time. I like some of it, but at time I don't...it is that simple in my view

I concede "personality" was not really the best word for my point, but his personality is certainly not one of any president we have seen, at least in the public, like when he said the Impeachment was bull crap on national TV...it was, it was a deserving word, but certainly not presidential in regards to past presidents. But hey, that's his personality, and given the choices we have, and given he is doing a lot of things I love...I am o'kay with it.

... I wonder why the use of 'prole' got under Chap's chaps? ...

It didn't. But while using your chosen term in my reply, I did note that it is probably not a term with a well-defined reference to a particular social/economic group. That's allowed, I hope?

You're talking about a tweet written by a woman using a mode of speaking popular among the well-educated professional class.

Er, really? I communicate frequently with members of what might be called "the well-educated professional class" of more than one country, including the US. Funnily, I find the Americans considerably less likely than the Europeans to stray beyond the bounds of what might be called politeness.

The author is a feminist journalist.

If that person thinks she is representing a tendency that will commend itself to a majority of professional women, and which it will be in their interests as a group to adopt, I am not sure she is right about that. But that's just my ignorant opinion.

Do you really need a licence to use language?

The left isn't afraid of a Sanders presidency. Bernie represents the most left position in the election among viable candidates. Your comment suggests you mean the Democrat party as an organized party. It seems like a small point but it's very meaningful.

When I say left in that context, I am implying the DNC...as in Democrats.com, as a whole, and by default, most of the main stream left wing pundits.

Here are a few examples... https://www.alternet.org/2020/02/msnbc- ... ontrunner/

“The Left” does not want Bernie, just as “the Right” does not want Rocky De La Fuente. However “the Left” is afraid that Bernie might actually win the primary, and get wiped out in the general election, while “the Right” is not in any way afraid of Ricky, I mean Dickey... opps, I mean Rocky.

That isn't accurate, though. It doesn't just ignore what it means to be ideologically left or right of center, but undermines and redefines the terms completely into a useless binary. You have Republicans and Democrats to serve that purpose.

No one on the left is scared of a Bernie Sanders presidency. They welcome it.
