Voters must consider his honesty when sizing up his credibility. Can the man keep his word, his bond, his contracts?

Besides his 3 business bankruptcies, there's this pattern:

"......Among people who have done business with Trump are many who feel they have been abused by him. Tama Starr, president of the sign-design company Artkraft Strauss (which lowered the Times Square silver ball that marked New Year's Eve for decades), has written about what she calls "the ugly art of Trump's deals." She and others have told me that it's common for Trump to pay 80 percent of a project, withhold the remainder of what is owed by claiming dissatisfaction with the work, and then force creditors to either give up on payment or engage in expensive litigation that might cost more than the money owed.

Donald Trump's big talk, braggadocio, and boldness have carried him far. But "gravity" - the wearing off of his freshness, the cumulative weight of his excesses, and voters taking a closer look at him before they actually cast a ballot - might well bring Trump down to earth, as Cruz recently suggested in a speech to a group of donors. Even Superman became weak and vulnerable when exposed to kryptonite, and in Trump's case, the equivalent could be exposure to a political environment in which his 91 percent name ID is "trumped" by voters' decision to finally compare him with other lesser-known candidates."

Stupid people walk into a bank with a gun to rob it.

Your reference to Trump's bankruptcies might be relevant if you could further expound on the negative aspects of those maneuvers.

In the Military there are such concepts known as ‘strategic withdrawals.’

Pretty much the same stuff tactically.

IOW, meaningless and mindless criticisms.

Bankruptcy Law is there, smart guys take advantage of the surrounding terrain.

Trump has a ‘Midas Touch’ and some simply cannot stand the notion.

Apparently, you are one who ought properly be grouped in some ‘impossible to be pleased’ category.

IF that were true, the 80 percent thing, then the 80 percent must be plenty because NO ONE would have done business with him after the first time it occurred.

Just saying.

I have done business with Trump. He bought something from my company and negotiated directly with us. He was nothing other than above-board and gracious. He did push us a little on price, but I expect that no matter who I’m dealing with.

I realize talking about women's looks is verboten. however I saw Trump's latest wife the other day for the first time and it blew me away. She is knock down gorgeous ....don't get me wrong.... but I swear she was created in a film studio special effects lab. I kept thinking she was going to break into a thousand pixels. Such artificial beauty is not of this world.... it belongs on film,on tv or in magazines. I cannot imagine her as first lady. Heck I cannot imagine her functioning as a real live human being.

Call me judgmental but I look at her and I think I know what she gets out of being married to Trump and I also think I know what Donald gets from being married to her
