    IMO they do hate him. They call him "Liar" in a joint session of congress (never been done. He should've finished his sentence the way he wanted to with a N or a boy).They stood lock step against THEIR OWN policies. Obamacare is a Republican Plan and always has been since Bob Dole put it forward as a response to Hillary Care. Yes I do think they hate the N in the White House.

    That's besides the point. Even when you deal with the hardest person to deal with in the entire world, you never point fingers because it makes the problem even harder to deal with. Were the republicans hard to deal with? Probably. But a good leader gets both sides working together, not more adversarial.

    Yes, but you missed the point. The point is your hate for him (and a whole lot of right-wing nonsense about teleprompters) makes you think he's a terrible public speaker, when in fact he's quite a good public speaker.

    (CNN)For anyone who watched Wednesday night's Republican primary debate with the volume turned down, there was a clear winner, communication experts say: Donald Trump, hands down.

    "When it comes to body language, nobody does it better," says David Givens, director of the Center for Nonverbal Studies in Spokane, Washington. "He just neutralizes the opposition."

    While Trump's opponents appear to be "wooden," Givens says, Trump is "exceptional" at communicating with his body.

    "Nobody has done it this well since John F. Kennedy. Or Mussolini," Givens says, referring to the founder of Fascism, who ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943.

    The message Trump communicates is that he's the alpha male and a force to be reckoned with, says Nick Morgan, a communication expert and author of "Power Cues: The Subtle Science of Leading Groups, Persuading Others and Maximizing Your Personal Impact."

    When his opponents say something he doesn't like, he purses his lips, much the way a parent might scowl at a misbehaving child. Trump faces his opponents with his torso, not just his head, showing he's not afraid of them. Appearance is an important part of body language, and his voluminous hair speaks volumes, signaling he's not afraid to be noticed.

    These types of gestures are universal, but they contradict the conventional wisdom about how presidential candidates should present themselves in public.

    "I've coached candidates, and the prevailing wisdom has been that politicians should appear dignified, presidential, in control of their emotions. What he's doing is something new, more like a celebrity or a reality TV star -- and it's working," Morgan says.

    But will it work in the long run?

    "Does the public want a reality TV star in the White House? That's the question we're all dying to have answered," Morgan says.

    I guess we can agree to disagree then. I just don't see it. I will say, he's very good at showing strength

    Yes, when he hums and haws, searching for the right pc word, I bet you have already filled in the blank. Come on! Pull your head out! The guy is a crappy speaker but a very good liar.

    Bush isn't President.

    Yep I will call Obama a liar and a piss poor speaker. Remember, "If you like your healthcare, you can keep your healthcare". Then the one about the fucking dude in California making a silly
    movie cause all the shit in Benghazi. Then the asshole has the moxie to tell us nothing happen at the IRS after that woman took the 5th.
    Geez, I could go on for pages but enough, a couple whoppers equals liar!

    Republicans have never spoken to my needs. I've been marginialized by them and cannot find a reason to vote for people who would put a bureaucrat between a woman and privacy with her Dr., force a woman to bear her attacker's baby, and cut social programs while giving away the farm to these corporations.

    I know you just don't see it. I'm telling you why you just don't see it. Because you aren't able to set aside your emotions and be objective. Same for you, MarAzul.

    I think Mr. Trump would be an utter disaster as president. But that doesn't mean I can't acknowledge the things he's good at. There are things he's quite good at.

    You have no clue what I said.
    But getting back to current events, damn near that many servicemen have died at the hands of Islamic terrorist and Obama won't even acknowledge the facts.
