Sean Mooney

Debates, townhalls, candidate forums....it's come up plenty of times. He's never hedged on it or even put forth that maybe it wasn't as popular a thing to do as he thinks it was.

So he has not admitted a mistake thus making him unqualified to be President according to your definition.... Got it.

Did he apologize for the mistakes on abortion? I may have missed it and will gladly view a link if you have one.

2 questions for you: 1.) Do you think Trump's presidency was flawless? 2.) If your answer to the 1st question is no.....what mistakes that he made has he admitted to?

So nothing from you as well I see I did not ask you to produce a list of mistakes. I said- forget the specifics of mistakes because it's not about what you or I perceive as mistakes of a candidate. You stated an important quality of being President is admitting mistakes. You said Kamala does not admit mistakes. I'm asking when Donald Trump has admitted mistakes. What don't you understand here? What language do you need me to type in so it makes sense to you?

So again you have no answer to a very simple question.

I will gladly look at links if you share them.

It does not matter. I'm not speaking to specific mistakes a candidate made or makes and never have been. You asserted that an important quality of being President is admitting mistakes and because Kamala does not she does not meet the qualities to be President. What mistakes has Donald Trump admitted to? Are you asserting that his presidency and current candidacy was/have been perfect?

Once again- forget specific mistakes. That is you, or I, accusing the candidate of making mistake based our own perception of events rather than their own perception. Essentially- they may not feel like they made a mistake as misguided as that may be. So you can't hide behind that now. You said an important quality of being President is admitting mistakes (AGAIN- WHATEVER THAT PERCEIVED MISTAKE MAY BE). By your scoring Kamala is unqualified because she does not admit mistakes (AGAIN- WHATEVER THAT PERCEIVED MISTAKE MAY BE) So- what mistakes has Donald Trump admitted to?

Apparently you are allergic to answering a simple question. Again- forget what mistakes you, or I, perceive that a candidate has made. If admitting to a mistake (whatever it may be) is a pertinent skill you are saying Kamala has not admitted to any which means she lacks an important quality to being President. What mistakes has Trump admitted to?

So another non-answer. It doesn't matter what mistakes I think he has made much like it doesn't matter which mistakes you think Kamala has made. That is just you or I putting our thoughts on the candidate's positions. Take out what you personally think her mistakes are. You are saying she never admits mistakes. Now take out personally what I might think Trump's mistakes are....when does he admit to making mistakes?

You have the ability to go back and read the conversation. One person made the claim that Harris does not possess the qualities to be President. I asked what those qualities are and was told an important one is being able to admit mistakes. I never indicated one way or another about mistakes she may have made. I asked though if that is a quality that is important- what mistakes has Trump admitted to. Multiple posts later- we still have not received an answer to that. Just a lot of filibuster and words. It's not about what Harris has done wrong or right, and it's not about what Trump did wrong or right in his term. It's about- if one person has one standard shouldn't the other person have the same standard?

I'm asking him a very simple question and he can't answer it.

I'm going to try again....You listed things you see as mistakes in what Kamala did. Perhaps she does not see them as mistakes despite you doing so. Still you are holding her to a standard of admitting to them because you view that as a pertinent/important quality of being a leader. You have also pointed out a few times that her not admitting to them is a major factor for you. What mistakes has Trump owned up to? If admitting mistakes is a pertinent/important quality of being a leader than why has he not owned up to any? Is it your position that he had a perfect Presidency and has never said/done anything wrong since 2016?

Again I ask- Trump made mistakes in his Presidency as well and in his run up to potentially being President now....which mistakes has he owned up to? Does he not need to reassure people that he will not repeat these mistakes? Is he too afraid to? If he is, then he is therefore unsuitable....unless he can commit to NOT repeating his mistakes....which he refuses to admit.

This is your tactic always. Say something, get wriggled into a corner and then say "You are trying to misdirect the conversation...." Again- you said this: "So what makes a leader? Many factors, and prominent among those factors is admitting mistakes." "Prominent" means important....so yes it would be fair to say you view admitting mistakes as a main quality of being a leader. If you are in the middle or a Harris voter looking for a reason to vote for Trump you would be looking for him to admit his mistakes then. He was President for 4 years. He has been campaigning since 2015 as he successfully ran for President once , unsuccessfully ran for it once, and is now running for it again. Is it your position he has made no mistakes in that time frame that he should account for? Why is it only incumbent on her to admit mistakes and pledge to not repeat them and not on him to do the same thing? Again- you are framing this in an extremely one sided manner and you either don't see that, or refuse to see that, or are knowingly doing it in a dishonest manner.

I'm not redirecting the discussion....and we are multiple posts in now and you refuse to answer the question- which is telling. You asserted that a main quality of being a leader is admitting mistakes...you offered where Kamala does not admit mistakes. I ask again- when has Trump admitted to making mistakes?

Look this is very simple- you made the statement that she did not "have the qualities the position [President] requires." I asked what qualities you need. You said: I asked: "What mistakes has Trump owned up to?" Your response was "But Biden...and Pelosi...and Obama" I re-asked my question Your response was "I don't know. Give me a list." It isn't about me constructing a list. You are saying essentially- that she should see these mistakes (exactly as you see them) and account for them....but for Trump he doesn't have to account for mistakes that he may have made. You do see how this appears to be you holding her to a standard that you do not hold Trump to? I mean, I get why you are- you are clearly Republican and refuse to give them any blame on anything (we've also established that). However, it also torpedoes your credibility on the issue.

That is a non-answer. How many mistakes has Trump owned up to? You said yourself

How many mistakes has Trump owned up to? On the border stuff- I'd encourage you to read the links I posted. It paints a picture that is less dire than what we are led to believe by the mainstream right leaning media. To be fair it is also less rosy than the mainstream left leaning media posits.

What qualities do you need to be President?

I mean I agree on the purpose. I'm speaking to the idea though that even if she is more presidential I think there are people in the middle who will view it as "Under Trump it was this, Under Kamala it is this." And that will carry weight for them.

Harris and Biden got handed an economy that was doing fine but had warning signs in 2018 and 2019 of perhaps turning the other way. COVID hit in 2020 and exacerbated those issues to a degree no one could have planned. Some of that was due to Trump policies that were taking full effect, some of that was due to stimulus money being dumped into the economy by both Trump and Biden, some of it was artificially propping up the market, some of that was supply chain stress because of the situation. The border has issues- some of them have been fixed, some have not. Here are some links on border stuff: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65574725 https://www.piie.com/blogs/realtime-economics/2024/trump-vs-biden-immigration-side-side-policy-comparison https://archive.ph/jjRPT https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/biden-deportation-record A key point from the last source: Another point: Key points for me are- the economy and US under Trump was not as bad as Democrats want to say and not as good as Republicans want to say. Under Biden the US is not as good as Democrats want to say and not as bad as Republicans want to say

Whether Kamala wins or loses my life is going to be the same on November 6th. I really could give a sh!t who the President is. But if Kamala does win you'll probably throw a fit, say something stupid here, get banned, come back under a new name, throw a bunch of sh!t posts at people, get called on it, and then say "I got to worry about my kids so I'm leaving..." and then start the cycle all over again a month later. Posting here is kind of your menstrual cycle. And all that would be hilarious.

The interview could've went worse.... she could've quoted some guy named "Black insurrectionist" on Twitter as if it was gospel. or pretend to help at a hurricane site to score Internet points?
