Gates....

:snack: You've heard the same adjectives here several times :lol:The truly stupid, gullible, and deplorable are backing Dump.  

 

Washington (CNN)Robert Gates criticized both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump on their preparedness to handle US foreign policy -- but the former defense secretary reserved his harshest language for the Republican nominee, who he said is "beyond repair."

"When it comes to credibility problems, though, Donald Trump is in a league of his own," Gates, a Republican who led the Defense Department under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed Friday, adding that electing Trump is "too great a risk for America."

"The world we confront is too perilous and too complex to have as president a man who believes he, and he alone, has all the answers and has no need to listen to anyone," Gates wrote. "A thin-skinned, temperamental, shoot-from-the-hip and lip, uninformed commander in chief is too great a risk for America."

Gates called Trump too "willfully ignorant about the rest of the world" to be commander in chief. He specifically criticized Trump's plan to build a wall on the US border with Mexico, his call to torture terrorists and kill their family members, and his praise of Russian President Vladmir Putin.

You still can't understand why trump is where he is at.  Once you both can understand that, come back with some substance.

It's simple.  Too many people like you who are stupid, gullible, and deplorable. :bc:

How many republicans are you going to agree with this election cycle?  You seem to be agreeing with a lot of them, especially compared with the last one.

gates on Clinton...

He criticized Clinton for advocating "ill-fated regime change in Libya" and her shifting positions on the Iraq War and US trade agreements.

"Mrs. Clinton has ruled out putting U.S. ground troops in Iraq and Syria 'ever again,'" he wrote. "That is a politically driven categorical declaration of a sort no president (or candidate) should make, and it raises the question whether she would pull out the 5,000 U.S. troops now in Iraq. She has expressed no new ideas to deal with the boiling caldron that is today's Middle East."

just as damning as the trump comment.
