Think of Trump wearing that Stetson last week. Other versions are "all hat, no cattle" and "big hat, no cattle."

What percentage even know what a white paper is? Interestingly enough, even though I am the type of person that will read policy journals in my free time the way her campaign put those out was a turn off for me. I like to know that there is an understanding of policy and an idea of the direction they want to go. But successful presidents are the big idea types that don't let themselves get too much into the weeds on the details. FDR, for example, had his brain trust for a reason.

Now, between the two, I preferred Clinton (though I didn't vote for her). But what I want is a happy medium between these two. The interesting thing is, though, that if Trump actually understood government and policy he would be more like Clinton in this regard. He is a notorious micromanager. He's just out of his element and is ignorant of the way government functions.

I'm sure they didn't know the ins and outs of the policy...I know I'm not going to dig through every bit of it.

But they trusted she actually knew what she was talking about...while the other side insisted that Trump did while at the same time saying he was an outsider who wouldn't play by the rules.  Meanwhile Trump barely had policy.  He had slogans.

And it's biting them in the hiney as he can't get anything done/passed.

I don't believe he is a micromanager like one that has his fingers in everyone's business and wants to know what is going on from everyone all the time.  I think he's a decelerator who then yells at the people he put in charge because they made him look bad.  If he was really involved, if he was really the hard working businessman he claimed to be, he wouldn't be in the position he is in.

Oh we had a family run insurance agency next to us, and father and son both wore a Stetson and duster to work every day. In suburban Cincinnati.
