#ImWithHer: Donald Trump Is Categorically Unfit

No President Has Ever Declared A Major Party Nominee Categorically Unfit For The Office Of The Presidency . . . Until Now.

President Barack Obama called Donald Trump “unfit” and “woefully unprepared” to be president on Tuesday, August 2, 2016, his strongest criticisms yet of the Republican presidential nominee.

Presidents of one party often call out nominees from another party as “poor choices” or “wrong for America” — especially if they are campaigning against them; however, as far as my research extends, no U.S. President has EVER declared a major party nominee categorically UNFIT for the Office of the Presidency . . . Until Now.

I included the following video in my Day 5 post; however, I find this declaration to be profound and important and I think it is absolutely deserving of consideration standing alone.

This past week was a banner week for Trump. He attacked a Gold Star Family. He tossed a crying baby and nervous mother out of a campaign rally. He insulted the capital city of a battleground state. He, again, displayed his lack of even a basic knowledge of global critical issues. Yet the tweets continue. The GOP interventions seem fruitless.

Trump’s response?

The typical response . . .

Benghazi, Email . . .

(Because that’s all he’s got.) Frankly, I’m surprised he didn’t call for a showing of President Obama’s birth certificate!

Trump’s campaign is in tatters. The GOP is lacking unity as their nominee is proving to be a black hole, poised to take the whole party down with him in his glorious spiral. Party leaders are defecting daily, either throwing support behind Hillary Clinton or vowing to sit this one out. Others are neurotically standing behind the candidate in a constant state of panicked dissonance.

When this press conference first aired, I knew immediately how important it was. I knew it was historic and profound in the worst possible way. This was unprecedented in American History.

It was epic.

Obama has earned a reputation as a deliberate, intentional speaker. He is a well-respected leader worldwide.

Perhaps we should listen carefully and heed his warning.

If you vote for Trump, you vote for an unfit and Ill-prepared candidate.
