Alan in brooklyn, new york. Our line for democrats. On balance come i thought it was perfectly appropriate, but for perfectly narrow reasons. If any president had said that about any candidate from another party, without the exact circumstances we have now were other republicans have come up forcefully against the statements trump has made time if there were oncorresponding agreement the substance come it would be a daring thing for any president to say any candidate is unqualified to serve. This is only working because hes calling for consistency with their own pronouncements and not making a judgment independently without reference to those other pronouncements. So much of that basis relies on the outrageous nature of comments trump has made, offensive remarks to people personally and i dont think obama would have had leeway to make a similar kind of statement about his lack of qualifications purely onon ability, training, experience command education, background, knowledge.

What have we gotten in the last eight years . To go around to mistake around congress when they are off, he does these little deals around the world and we always end up with the short end of the stick. What kind of deal maker is he . Host as far as the actual statement the president made monday you agree or disagree made, do president you agree or disagree with that . Caller i totally disagree. He never talked about Hillary Clinton talking about jews and that sort of stuff. Yet, he can talk about donald trump who wants to get us jobs and make us great again.

The candidate that is unfit is of the lying, crooked Hillary Clinton. She can even tell the truth about her name. She said she was named after a mountain climber, a famous mountain climber. He only became famous after she was born. She lies constantly. Put our nation at risk with her shenanigans, her private servers , everything got erased. She believes she is above the law, and she is.

Other foreign leaders are listening. I wish somebody on the other i take offense to what that one guy said that everybody who would vote for trump is racist. That is the problem here. Thats why there is so many problems. Why is it inappropriate for a sitting president to make comments about a president ial race, especially against the other candidate . Caller you just dont talk like that in front of other foreign leaders. He wants his legacy extended. We are down to a 1 economy. Here . Ore do you want the media is very biased. Im independent.

Said the same thing at a rally, it would be appropriate, then . Caller i dont think he should be at rallies.

At this time, he was a junior senator and he had already participated in local congressional office. What people misunderstand mothers things that you learn going through life misunderstand, theres things that you learn going through life in local office that trump does not have. Not tosinessman, it is help the poor and less fortunate. They are going to be left out. Electiony out of this and may wait for the next johnion or might write in kasich. I just see a double standard.

It seems to me like john kasich is the most common sense type of politician.
