He's not interested in your respect.

You are right.
Trump is not interested in our respect.
Or, our health care.
Or, the economy.
Or, international peace.
Or, education.
Trump is only interested in Trump and keeping his ego inflated.

Can you point me to a politician whose ego and/or quest for power isn't the first variable in any political equation?

So, you're conceding her point?

True, most politicians have big egos. However, most are mature enough to understand that in their quest for power they have to deliver to those who they represent.
Trump has provided us more than enough evidence that he is not mature enough to set aside his ego.

Like an actual "Mr. Smith goes to Washington"? Someone that actually wanted to do good rather than just boss people around and look important?

If I may. To your question, probably not. But I also cannot point you to a President who was so narcissistic, so racist, so unqualified, not to mention being a sexual predator. Speaking for myself, as an unaffiliated voter, I can live with Presidents I don't like. We all can and have. But I have said from day one of Trumps Presidential bid that he is unfit, unqualified, and a danger to our democracy. I stand by that assessment. I fear we are in for some very dark days.
Also for anyone who might take my beliefs and opinions as a reason to name call and insult I will ignore you. I won't waste my time with juvenile theatrics.

My attitude is one of resignation, I dunno if acceptance of the demagogue in waiting is going to happen.

Unusual for you, Nailer--less a pick and more a kick. It's time to kick those defeated bots, eh?
