With an open field, who would you vote for president?
Now given the field has two candidates, who do you think will do a better job between the two? I'm actually curious to hear your answers and why.
Your comment here indicates you think being able to talk over others is an important part of the job. Why do you see that as an important attribute? Does the President of the most powerful country in the world often need to be the loudest person in the room? Do they need to dominate conversations, preventing other people from talking, to do their job effectively?
Didn't even imply that

In conclusion, you're trying to argue things I didn't even say. But I do appreciate how your comment had no ad hominem attacks.
But yes, I think a powerful person commands respect and can dominate a conversation. Dominating meaning with truth, clarity, intelligence, patience, and persuasiveness. And probably not saying something demeaning, like being talked to like a child, like "I'm talking."
Also, don't immediately think I'm even impling ol trumpster has these qualities because I don't think he does.
