Before I get.....
Before I get hyped up about a person for President I'd like to know a little more about their politics.
More than one General has retired and then become a disapointment to me.

"Thoughts?"
I think you're trolling.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)

If he has presidential ambitions, he certainly doesn't seem to let them get in the way of some pretty impolitic remarks.

Now I feel like the dyslexic agnostic who wondered if there is a dog.
It's that or spelling was never my long suit.
Thanks for letting me in on the joke.
