re: Herschel Walker is a great American

Loved it when he was saying (paraphrasing) "he isn't politically correct and you may not like his style, neither did the people I used to run over in football, but that's how you get the job done". Line of the night!

Yes, 'cause being the elected leader of 330 Million people and the leader of the free world and the most important single individual on the planet is the same thing as being a tailback in the NFL. The jobs are identical. The skill sets are slightly different but other than that it takes the same mind set.

Herschel Walker is the GREATEST CFB tailback, EVER....and was a great NFL tailback. He is also a great American and a great human being, by all accounts, and has dealt with some SERIOUS mental health issues his entire life. He is to be revered. That doesn't in any manner suggest he is without the ability to be wrong. He can't, and has never been able, to move markets with his words. DJT can and has. DJT or anyone who is in the white house is responsible for more shite than anyone who hasn't been close to the position can begin to conjure up....saying and doing things simply to get a rise out of the political opposition is just silly...its fine for a talk show host, a football player, a plumber...but it is unbecoming in a world leader and can be dangerous. DJT has done some good things for this country. His actions speak far louder than his words and his actions indicate he is a 1970's era Democrat. he has flat out laid the lie to Reagan and had created a fundamental shift in the GOP that has driven a wedge between Reagan (now called RINOS) and the America First wing of the GOP....and that is, in my opinion, the best thing that has happened in American politics since so many of us swallowed Reagan and the ensuing debacle. If he had done this without the trolling and acted like a world leader willing to tell Europe they needed to pay their way through life (something Trump has done when no one else has the balls to do so) and American jobs came first I would be the biggest Trump supporter who ever lived...he is what the moderate wing of the democratic party, labor and anyone who fondly remembers Tip O'neal has ever wanted in a President....but he can not and will not act like someone who is cut out to be in the position....and that is damaging the good he has accomplished for American labor.
