Here's the "next" POTUS. Company Commander in Vietnam to boot.

If I was a 'betting girl' my money would be on a guy called Trey Gowdy. There are many clips of him on You Tube, he is a fast thinker and knows the law.

Why isnt this man ~President?

Probably because he is a one trick pony?

Good speech I must admit, but it takes a lot more to win votes.

[Mamyalynne]

I rather doubt he'd want the Presidency, but he's no one trick pony if you read his CV.

[youngmafbog]

So I've read his CV and it appears to be all Military.

So my comment stands.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes to be fair to all Mikey has muddied the waters with his last line - the comments were fine until then.

[dannyk13]

Maybe he is not a political animal and prefers his chosen military profession.

[Mamyalynne]

He is obviously an excellent leader in his role and bringing the Presidency angle in has as I say muddied this.

A great man and I'm sure well respected.

[mikey4444]

Mamy....no muddying intended. What I did intend though, was to contrast Lt Gen Jay Silveria's straight, non-nonsense message, and Trumps recent utterings over Charlottesville, where he changed direction 3 times in 3 days.

[Mamyalynne]

There's always a temptation to compare and contrast but sometimes a person and their excellence stand alone without that need.

[naomi24]

What a 'ruddy' daft post.

[mikey4444]

Many,....Lt Gen Jay Silveria gave hints in his speech about Charlottesville.

What he says is straight and to the point, with no mealy-mouth, weasel words that we have heard from Trump.

???

[Mamyalynne]

My post or Mikey's thread?

[mikey4444]

Three guesses Mamy !

[Mamyalynne]

Just checking as post/thread mean different things - not that I retract mine.

[ToraToraTora]

did he run for president?

[mikey4444]

Nor mine Mamy !
