Nothing truly
prepares you for the Oval Office. You can read about it. You can study
it. But until you’ve sat at that desk, you don’t know what it’s like to
manage a global crisis.
President Obama
There are only five people alive today who have ever sat
behind the Resolute desk. And not a single one of them believes Donald
Trump has what it takes to be our next Commander-in-Chief.
In fact, only Democratic presidents—past and current—have publicly commented on the race. And they all support Hillary Clinton.
Barack Obama, at the Democratic National Convention, went so far as
to say that, “There has never been a man or a woman—not me, not Bill,
nobody—more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as President of the
United States of America.”
President Clinton didn’t seem to mind:
President Clinton said that Hillary is “uniquely qualified to seize
the opportunities and reduce the risks we face,” at the DNC. He went on
to call her “the best darn change-maker I have ever known.”
As he put it, “You could drop her into any trouble spot, pick one,
come back in a month and somehow, some way, she will have made it
better. That is just who she is.”
And President Jimmy Carter offered a similar assessment: “As you
know, Hillary has always shown a willingness to take on the most
difficult challenges, and to get things done.” He continued his praise,
calling her an advocate of human rights with a “steady hand” and a
“strong heart.”
As for our two living former Republican presidents?
Neither showed up to Trump’s convention. Neither have been seen on
the campaign trail. And neither is planning on making a presidential
endorsement this election cycle.
That’s simply unprecedented. And it speaks volumes.
