1) Low gas price

2) Low unemployment

But most of all:
A comparison to the Republican aspirants highlights his qualities.

I just don't know why this is not spoken to. It jumped off the page at me.

and for me, that makes him dangerous, in a very serious way

I can see him as president pursuing world power... for himself, that could lead us to some bad places

If a dope like Bush could get us to go to war with Iraq, imagine what a smart guy like this could sell?

thanks for the reply

If not, I think that's a terribly thin argument, that just dismisses all the substance behind the arguments that Trump has narcissistic personality disorder, without really engaging on the matter.

The rest of your post consisted of (summarized):

1. Bill Clinton was one too. Irrelevant except as it may bear on your second point, which was...

2. Being a narcissist may not be so bad.

You're right, it may not be. There are degrees to it, and different people will have their individual mix of traits. Here's a short, neutral article that sheds light on the good and bad potential. http://yscouts.com/10-narcissistic-l...aracteristics/

Application to Trump left as an exercise....
thanks for the recap, I know what I said, thanks for the link, I pretty much know all that

Hadn't gotten to #123 yet and still don't see your inference implied. Although I do understand your implication in #124 and see that it might be true.

Read through this discussion for a confirmation of Trump's narcissism.

That's just the learned opinion of highly educated people with their own psychological "problems." Although having a narcissistic mother, I wouldn't disagree.

It wasn't George, he was just the stooge. You know, like Reagan.
