This says something. The FP does not ever endorse anyone, but this is a cogent, well written piece that examines the election and the candidates.
I'm sorry, but if you say that Mr. Trump is brilliant, or has great ideas, or has a plan, you're a fucking idiot. He has shown little ability to express a coherent thought, save for the singular "law and order" speech I watched where he read from a teleprompter.
As a public speaker, I shudder to think someone would record my words and cherry pick thed stumbling, bumbling stupid things I have said from time to time. However, I have carry a thought through on a train of thought and express an idea. Mr. Trump cannot seem to get through a sentence without confusing himself or the line of reasoning.

I understand the anger at "the system." I do get the dislike and distrust of Senator Clinton. Personally, I have no good frame of reference to understand her accomplishments versus her scandals or issues. The attacks against her have thrown so much nonsense against the wall that I struggle to separate fact from fiction. However, she is qualified, and will govern near the center. Center right, center left, it will be somewhere in there.
Mr. Trump is a complete wild card, who cannot seem to go through a five minute conversation without outright lying, contradicting himself, or forgetting where he started.
If you cannot support Senator Clinton, that's fine. However, voting for Mr. Trump for that reason is ridiculous. He stands for all of the things most people complain about with regards to Senator Clinton, with much, much less intelligence.
I researched Mr. Trump a bit more, in an attempt to better understand the candidates and their experience. I have endeavored to learn more about the various stances, accusations, and issues. I was spurred to do so after someone posted that Mr. Trump has an IQ of 156.
Mostly because I could not believe that.
What I learned from various sources is that Mr. Trump has never released any school transcripts (despite calling for others to do so, including President Obama). The IQ rumor was a guess from a journalist making a guess based on the fact that Mr. Trump attended the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Like many, I was impressed. A Wharton MBA is an achievement and not easy to attain.
Mr. Trump doesn’t have an MBA.
He didn’t get admitted to Wharton. Np
He started at Fordham and spent two years there. He transferred to U Penn, which is impressive, unless you think he achieved that because of his father rather than his own efforts. I have no idea what is true here. However, multiple sources show he took some courses at Wharton, but graduated from UPenn with an economics degree.
No transcripts or grades have ever been released, but Mr. Trump was not reported on the Deans list or as receiving any academic honors.
That makes sense.
Wharton would no graduate someone with an MBA that cannot form coherent, cogent sentences to argue a point. I have known many individuals that were not educated and spoke plainly, but without the rambling, stumbling, wandering style of Mr. Trump.
I would bet money, and I almost never bet money, that his IQ is nowhere near 156. In fact, I’d be surprised if it were anywhere outside of a standard deviation of average. He has never given a single speech that leads me to believe otherwise.
Vote for whomever you choose, but don’t tell me Mr. Trump has great ideas or has great plans. You’re being sold a bridge, a rather large one from Brooklyn, for which you will never take title.
