Let me preface this by saying, I don’t think Donald Trump is presidential material. But, I don’t believe any of the other declared participants in the current campaigns are, either.

Of all the “candidates,” I suspect Donald Trump actually believes what he is saying. He will try to build the “hugest, most excellent, wall at the Mexican border,” he will try to get Carl Ichan to be the point person to deal with China and Japan. He will push for extreme immigration reform.

I’m also sick of cronyism. Such as how Caroline Kennedy “earned” her appointment to the position of U.S. Ambassador to Japan..

Caroline Kennedy: Well, I was in Washington talking to people in the White House about how I might be able to serve the president. And so, they said, “Well, what about ambassador to Japan?” And so I was like “Japan?” So anyway, I said, “Well, I would love to do that.”  ^[1]Source: CBS News
