The measure of a person...

I have always felt that one of the best ways to gain the measure of a person is how they act after having made a mistake.

If they own up to it, apologies, take all reasonable measures to fix the damage done and then take steps to ensure the mistake is not made again....


I consider that person a great leader and an honorable person who I would like to work with. If however they blame others, refuse to apologies, don't take responsibility for the damage done and don't take steps to not repeat the mistake, then that is not a person I want to work with and cant respect.

Have you seen the way Trump responds when he or his campaign is confronted with a mistake?

He runs and hides, he gets angery, he attacks the victim, he causes worse damage and he does it again next week.

Have you seen the way Hillary Clinton responds when she or her campaign is confronted with a mistake?

She runs and hides, she gets angery, she attacks the victim, she causes worse damage and she does it again next week.

FTFY

The irony of your post is DRIPPING

You misspelled "apologize" and "angry", Counselor.

Own up to it, apologize, take all reasonable measures to fix the damage done and then take steps to ensure the mistake is not made again.

I admit I did not spell those words in the traditional way, Ill even admit it was a mistake.

Please tell me what damage was done?

Or you could do what he does everytime someone points out his spelling mistakes, simply delete the post. He never admits his mistakes, he just deletes them.

:rofl2:

"In the traditional way"? :rofl2:

Repeatedly displaying disdain for the English language and refusing to apologize and take steps to correct your errors in the future marks you as a Trump-like personality.

Own up, Counselor.
 
Explain why, Ill wait... I suspect for a long time...

It is in the public record, please don't play stupid. Her crimes against this country have been listed ad nauseum but you like all political hacks will forgive her any transgression. Cognitive dissonance is your friend. Now get back to your Trump bashing. I know you are disappointed your nick name didn't catch on

I disagree, what damage was done? I don't buy into the idea that there is a "correct" spelling to most words. That is simply an attempt to adopt a code that is prejudice toward elitists.

So, you did not hear HRC apologize over her mistake using a private server?

I did, yet I have never heard Trump apologize for anything!

Why don't you ask him about his multiple spelling mistakes?

You sound like Trump pretending that saying racist stuff isn't wrong because he doesn't "buy into the idea of being PC".

I heard her call it a mistake.
Then I heard her lie through her teeth for a year about her Email practices.

I've never heard any apology for Libya -just her deflection to "smart power"

I don't think Libya was a mistake. Neither does Mike Pence. I am sorry we lost lives, but we got Quadaffi out of power and are developing a better state there.

I agree with you, however the West just left Libya to its own devices after war. The UN should have sent in peacekeepers.
