He was a rake. Wow, I guess that means anyone can be president.' I paraphrase but that was the sentiment.
A Rake: "a fashionable or wealthy man of dissolute or promiscuous habits"

Sounds like JFK, LBJ, WJC, DJT and so many other alpha dog politicians.

I would delete LBJ from that list, he wasn't a "rake" until he could afford fashionable clothes which was well into his political career. By that time you would be a fool to be surprised that he had become president.

I also wouldn't include WJC, he was promiscuous from a kid, but seeing pictures of him he wasn't fashionable or wealthy.

As for JFK, yes he was the epitome of a rake, but only a fool would be surprised that he became president.

Lots of fools were surprised when Trump became president. If any of these upstanding "fools" happen to be on your preferred news source list, then perhaps you might want to consider some changes in your life.

Slightly better than your old chants:

Obama. Our hero. Our replacement for Witness Lee.

Hillary. Our hero. Our replacement for Witness Lee.

Yer a funny guy bro Ohio.

But I got to bring good ol' Bob Dylan into this discussion :

"Well, I've been to London and I been to gay Paris
I've followed the river and I got to the sea
I've been down on the bottom of the world full of lies
I ain't lookin' for nothin' in anyone's eyes . . ."
~ Dylan - Not Dark Yet

Trump's a rake and Hillary is a hoe.
