    Seventy-five former ambassadors, including 57 appointed by Republican presidents, released a letter Thursday endorsing Hillary Clinton and criticizing Donald Trump as “entirely unqualified” for the office.

    • so embarrassingmonospaced
    • Lol, you mean they endorse kaine.yurimon
    • I don't mean anything. They wrote the letter.monospaced
    • oh yurikona
    • the real point isn't that though; the point is that they all agree Donald Trump is not fit for the positionmonospaced
    • They did a good job though, look at state of the World...oey
    • you dont know the motives of them coming forward. doesnt mean anything. maybe they dont like the unpredictability of trumpyurimon
    • if they are saying giving comfort to our enemies that cant be anymore truer with the current dude in officeyurimon
    • going back to 2001 with bushyurimon
    • OH yuriRamanisky2
    • Lol, Ambassadors who have "pay to play" giving advice about being "unqualified"...robotron3k
    • LOL, I think mono was attracted to the glitzy title. ambassadors must be legit.yurimon
    • pay to play? That's pure bullshit. most were appointed by republicans ... Or did you not read the letter?monospaced
    • so are you saying we should believe this cause they were appointed honestly and republicans are not corrupt like dems? is what you are saying?yurimon
    • No you should believe it because it's real. These people of respectable political position for the past few decades all think trump is shit.monospaced
    • Actually nobody gives a fuck if you guys believe it or not, least of all me. It's just a thing that happened, whether you think it's legit or not.monospaced
    • I get that it happened but im curious to the actual factual motivation behind writing it. just because they wrote something doesnt mean anything withoutyurimon
    • without the underlying logic, motive, etc.yurimon
    • Funny thing is that it doesn't matter who it is who says Trump is unfit to be president, you would attempt to discredit literally each one. Literally anyone.monospaced
    • no credibility in the establishment, be it media, some fancy i have experience political title. what the point of being established if you make corrupt choicesyurimon
    • The underlying logic and motive for them writing this is LITERALLY the content of the letter. You choose not to believe it because you think they're corrupt.monospaced
    • I hope tramp gets elected and cleans house out this bitch. hes not rep, dem, religious, nothing but pragmatic than you think.yurimon
    • And that's okay. It's a free country. You don't have to respect anyone's opinions from any position, even if they are respectable opinions on the subject.monospaced
    • It's easier for you to blanket them all as non credible. It doesn't matter who they are. You don't like anyone talking shit about trump, that's clear.monospaced
    • this the ufc MMA debating style son.yurimon
    • And that's fine. You think he should be president and fire anyone who doesn't prescribe to his shtick. You've made that clear just now. Fine with me.monospaced
    • I actually hope people were more responsible for the world and less focused on a central man made source of power thinking it going to change stuffsyurimon
    • You really don't need to explain your view on this any further. It's very clear where you stand already. Thanks.monospaced
    • basically people need to act locally to get their community in order and you would have a better quality of life overif you had a long distance bureaucrats ruleyurimon
    • responsibility part you can look into. what it means to be sovereign, or read up on libertarian concepts.yurimon
    • There are zero qualifications needed to be a US ambassador. Even Shirley Temple was one.robotron3k
    • Yes robo, like yuri, you would also attempt to discredit anyone, literally ANYONE, who speaks out against trump. That's fine.monospaced
    • This could have been a list of 75 people whom you do respect, and you'd probably find some other reason. We get it, you really do believe Trump's qualified.monospaced
    • in politics people criticize each other, its only a matter of motive, or if its rational.yurimon
    • exactly... and in this case, it's entirely rational, with rational motivesmonospaced
    • When you question their rationality, their credibility, and attack their motive and position, it just seems like you're arguing for Trump being a good presidentmonospaced
    • dude this politics which equals money. nobody likes and outsiders and not for reason whether they could do a great job or not.yurimon
    • its a ridiculous assumption that because someone has a title they have earned expertise. by that logic we shouldn't be in the shit we are based on all theyurimon
    • professionals in washington.yurimon
    • yeah, we KNOW you don't respect their opinion, because YOU believe the opposite: that Trump IS a qualified candidate... you could not make that more clearmonospaced
    • They feel it's ridiculous to assume Trump is qualified to be president, and you it's ridiculous to assume they are upright citizens, despite their positions.monospaced
    • The more you throw out reasons these people are unworthy of having opinions, the more you make it clear how much you truly believe in Trump, and his schtick.monospaced
    • first of all i dont know who they are, their business, where their loyalties lay and for what reasons. all assumptions.yurimon
    • that doesn't matter, you've already labeled their opinion shit because YOU have made up your mind: anyone who questions Trump's qualifications is not worthymonospaced
    • That's fine. You're allowed to defend Trump as a candidate, that's what this country is all about. You really, REALLY don't need to make your case any longer :)monospaced
    • Thing is, if you and robo actually agreed with their position/opinion, you wouldn't be attacking and questioning it so fervently. You are both quite clear.monospaced
    • its good to have answers.yurimon
    • yes, very good, the big question of if you're a Trump supporter is finally answered: yesmonospaced
    • dont be a dumb as you know its not conclusive to anything.yurimon
    • It's conclusively embarrassing.monospaced
