1 Question Could STUMP TRUMP in Debates
Clean.tv ^ | 8-4-15 | CleanTV

Mr. Trump, why do you blame Republicans for the 2008 economic crisis when it was caused by Democrat policies, and if you don't really know what caused that crash, why should we trust you to help steer the economy in the future?

Anyone remember G.W. Bush's top priority after the shellacking in the 2006 mid-terms?

If you said "comprehensive immigration reform" then go to the head of the class.

Which of those Democrat policies did Mitch McConnell or John Boehner oppose?

The uniparty may properly be referred to by either of its names.

Question isn’t a showstopper.

Conservative? Donald Trump supported auto bailouts in 2008

Now shut up. I'm rich and you're not. LOL

I just wish I could be as liberal as Trump and yet accumulate $10,000,000,000.00 and be able to employ 50,000 people. On second thought only a hard nosed and smart businessman can achieve so much prosperity for himself.

To keep things in perspective, how wealthy Trump is, the next 100 generations of Trumps stand to inherit $100 Million each! Trump may be several things but he is not stupid.

Bush actually hesitated until McCain, leading in the polls at the time, demanded action. McCain’s fly in to “seal the surrender” marked the last time he led in the polls. Most of the GOP still doesn’t get it.

DannyTN would tell us that this post is bunk because Trump is soooooo strong on economic policy.

Trump has more than this one issue to answer for...and these will be his downfall.

Lol to welcoming the n00b :)

I’m sure Trump has a great answer (similar to those posted on this thread), to any and all *gotcha* questions.

It a global economic failure, I don’t think any one country or political party owns it.

So many blunders by Bush-43, it boggles the mind.
Never built the wall on the border, never did anything to reduce election fraud, and never did anything to curb gambling by big Wall Street banks which brought on the financial crisis.

I have never regretted my votes as much for any other president as Bush-43.

I would remind voters that Bush and the GOP supported all those bail outs
with taxpayer money.

That was a bi-partision disaster but fortunately for Dems the POTUS party almost always gets the blame for stuff that goes wrong (or right) in his second term.

GWB had his hands on that one too.

LOL...

I won’t. But, I will ask Republican 2012 Nominee Herman Cain how he did it...

Oh, wait...

Bottom line, it is WAY to early to say Trump will win. The internals of the polls showing his strength are largely ignored by Trump supporters...after all, he is winning, but it doesn’t matter WHO is giving him those votes.

We shall see, but I don’t think Trump makes it.

You people behave exactly like Debbie Wasserman Shultz attempting to describe the difference between democrats and socialists by talking about the republicans.

You can’t explain away his liberalism by saying he’s rich or he’s smart. The media will grind him into a thin paste using years of his own past as a grindstone if we’re dumb enough to nominate him.

How is he going to answer if he’s asked if he still believes Pam Geller is an attention seeker who brought the Garland TX terrorist attack on herself. Saying “I own Trump Tower” ain’t going to do the job.

My question for DT:

Why did you give money to the Clintons?

Herman Cain ... could not self finance campaign
Donald Trump....can self finance campaign

Cain....bimbo eruptions caused rich donors to abandon him
Trump...no bimbo eruptions, not dependent on rich donors

Cain....No international business experience.
Trump...Has businesses on 4 continents.

Which moderator in our media will ask any question openly critical of democrats, especially a question blaming them for the 2008 recession? The same guys that ask Hillary about her favorite ice cream flavor? The guys that ask Obama tough questions all the time? I do not see much chance of it ever coming up.

He will say we have to look at these events “in hindsight” and find better alternatives if there are any. There is not always a perfect solution.
