    Exclamation Ex-GM CEO: I've always voted Republican until now

    Ex-GM CEO: I've always voted Republican until now
    By Nikita Vladimirov

    http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/...ican-until-now
    "Former chairman and CEO of General Motors Daniel Akerson says that worries about Donald Trump will dictate how he votes this November."
    "The compelling rationale behind this decision: leadership. A good leader must demonstrate such qualities as competence, integrity, empathy, character and temperament. Hillary Clinton has these essential qualities. Donald Trump does not," he added."
    "His threat to impose prohibitive tariffs on trade would repeat mistakes that contributed to the Great Depression. His words and actions have rattled our European and Asian allies at a time when Russia and China are resurgent. He has demonstrated neither the capacity nor the inclination to learn from experts in global economics," he wrote."

    =====================================
    Thanks to The Hill for this report.

    Imho, Trump sure has a way of alienating and driving away important and influential Republican supporters and those who may have been predisposed to vote for him at one time, doesn't he! He seems to be excelling at that lately.

    Being one who obviously knows well about the business world we need to heed Mr. Akerson's words. By comparison to Donald Trump he gives great KUDOS to Hillary Clinton as a leader in her ability to lead this country and take it forward!

    Let's see how much care and compassion Trump and Republicans show for their fellow Americans to truly help them out in their time of need.

    Let's start the count to see if Trump comes through on the many things he promised to do for Americans. If he doesn't, along with a Republican Congress, then what's his and their excuse?

    You mean the company that was bailed out by Democrats?

    Ask Ford.

    They still have credibility.

    The name of the author does seem appropriate.

    Hillary Clinton was not in charge of that action you have to remember.

    What Mr. Akerson is saying has nothing to do with Hillary Clinton and the bailout. He is speaking as to her integrity and exceptional leadership ability as compared to Trump.

    The point though is that it strains credulity that he converted to 'Democrat' after receiving copious amounts of corporate welfare from the Democrats.

    Of course he's voting for Hillary, Hillary voted for the auto industry bailout that his company benefited from and is a loyal servant of Wall Street.

    That is nice but he is lying. He was a big supporter and donor to Jennifer Granholm, AKA the Mole.

    A Governor so bad that when her term was up, she had to leave her own state to find a job. So I think he is likely a Hillary plant.

    The GM bailouts were part of the TARP bailouts signed into legislation by President George W. Bush, not President Obama. Therefore, that part of the deficit was actually acquired under Bush's watch. Therefore, the blame cannot pass to Democrats for the bank bailouts. See this link.

    Was TARP Passed Under Bush or Obama?

    http://www.pewresearch.org/daily-num...bush-or-obama/


    In numerous polls, the public has voiced their displeasure at the much maligned bank bailout, but most don’t know which president signed the controversial act into law. Only a third of Americans (34%) correctly say the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) was enacted by the Bush administration. Nearly half (47%) incorrectly believe TARP was passed under President Obama. Another 19% admit they do not know which president signed the bank bailout into law. Notably, there is no partisan divide on the question. Just 36% of Republicans, 35% of independents and 34% of Democrats know that the government bailout of banks and financial institutions was signed into law by former President Bush. And Democrats (46%) are just as likely as Republicans (50%) to say TARP was passed under Obama. Read More
