It’s worrisome to wonder how a President Trump would handle a coup in a country he’s barely heard of, as Wendy Sherman told Chris Hayes.

…herman first noted the irony of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan engaging on social media amid the coup when he has been very involved in crackdowns on social media.

But she also said, “As we look at all of the events of the past days, that steady leadership––looking ahead to our own electoral cycle––and where we are in the presidential campaign, not a time for beginners, Chris.”

    Add this to the endless list of reasons Trump would be a disaster in the White House.

      Hillary already had her chance to prove herself and she blew it.
      Remember Benghazi?

      • Larry Schmitt July 16th, 2016 at 10:39

        And endless investigations by Congress couldn’t find anything to charge her with.

        Geez, give it up already. Were you ready to impeach Reagan when he crammed all our marines into one building in Lebanon, against the advice of his military, only to have them all blown to smithereens? No? Then STFU.

          Beat me to it by 10 hours.

        Yep, and she did better than Reagan an three times in Beirut.

        But why let facts get in the way of the FantabulousGOP/FoxNewsBengha$i BamboozlePalooza Extravaganza!!!????

        • Ron Theison July 17th, 2016 at 11:11

          And then she and the rest of the Obama administration lied about it. Why anyone would want another proven liar in the White House is beyond me.

          • OldLefty July 17th, 2016 at 11:23

            No they did not.
            They did not lie about anything.
            The, as David Frum calls it ,”Conservative Entertainment Complex” made up a scenario, then called anybody who told the complicated and messy truth “liars”.
            So, first, you make up the lie, then you believe the lie, then then you project “liar” onto anyone who does not parrot the lie.

          • OldLefty July 17th, 2016 at 11:39

            You HAD Bush.
            Now, WHY would you want Trump?

        Remember these, Ronnie-boy? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4b8d25a30c3cf9e52053e0a36b9a79fb46d596921e655ce8bc11cf83879944db.png ?

        when was she ever President? 4 people dead is not her responsibility. why were they there, oh yeah, bush/cheney. they are however responsible for the deaths numbering now in the millions? remember Iraq? and pay close attention to the post that Comicus made in his reply to you.

        • Ron Theison July 17th, 2016 at 00:50

          She was the Secretary of State and she had the responsibility for foreign affairs. Why were they there? They were there because the Obama administration went whole hog for the Khadaffi removal. Time to stop blaming Baby Bush.

          • whatthe46 July 17th, 2016 at 00:52

            we are there because of bush. period. you may not like that fact but it’s the truth and you can’t escape it. just deal with it. and again, what of the 60 that were murdered because of bush. there’s you real benghazi asswipe.

          • OldLefty July 17th, 2016 at 11:35

            They were there enforcing the no fly zone as their obligation to NATO.
            Also;
            “First, the president [Barack Obama] should recognize Libya’s transitional national council, which is based in Benghazi but representative of communities across the country, as the sole legitimate governing authority of Libya, just as France has done. Second, the president should take immediate steps to implement a no-fly zone in Libya with international support.”
            – John McCain March 13, 2011

            So it’s most likely that the Obama and Hillary haters would have supported the actions if McCain had won in 2008.

      • Richard Banville July 16th, 2016 at 23:37

        She handled Benghazi far better than Trump would have, of that you can be damn sure.

  2. KABoink_after_wingnut_hacker July 16th, 2016 at 10:28

    Ramen to that!
    Trump has proven time and time again he doesn’t have the temperament and level headed intellect to hold the office of town councilman, let alone President.

    • Larry Schmitt July 16th, 2016 at 10:32

      Congratulations. That may be the first time Trump and intellect have been used in the same sentence.
