I view Trump as a tool to be used by conservatives....
The traditional establishment Republicans need to be thrown out....current candidates are either part of the establishment or beholden to the ruling elite,,,,
Trump will “Trump” that paradigm and force the other candidates to clearly and unambiguously state their positions,,,,,
I for one am cheering him on as he emboldens some and threatens others ....
Long term, unless he changes his tact, he will implode but hopefully not until he destroys the existing establishment ,,,,
Exactly, let’s use him. We can get rid of him once he’s no longer of use.
Bonehead and MCConnell are NOT my buddies. the establishment is reeling in a disaster because when they were re-elected to thwart Obama, in fact they dubled down on kowtowing to his agenda. America may just fall apart as the disaster has com to fruition. Yes Trump is pointing out issues, but where are the answers. There will be a vaccuum that will ensue and there will be little else anyone will do too stop the disaster of both Trump and the establishment.
No I am not ignoring facts, not denying reality. But the voters have become disillussioned by what has happened.
I live in the UP of Michigan, the county has 11730 residents, and there are limited funds available. recently I had a conversation with a county commissioner regarding the 86 mines in the county that have been neglected for so long that there are some serious problems. The county wants to obtain more federal funds for the big picture. But how can the county deal with some of the minor problems and save up to deal with the more costly problems. By prioritizing what is able to fixed and how much is needed to fix the more costly repairs. The 86 mines need fences and many other repairs that are costly. the roads are a disaster. I have a mine nearby my home 700 feet away, the sign from 1967 is on the fence, next to the sign that states do not cut the fence as the mine property is unstable is a ATV trail. I simply asked that the opening in the fence be closed to eliminate the ATV trail that is threatening to collapse into the mine. here is a solution by closing the opening in the fence the mine will be closed to ATVers who drive on unstable mine property. This weekend we had a storm blow through the area, the area near the opening collapsed, two large maple trees fell nearby the area, in turn now the ATV trail is closed. I have a mother whom has Alzheimer’s, she wanders and one day she got out of the house while I was cutting the grass, guess where she was headed to the opening in the fence. I was able to intercept her from going into the opening and walking into the open pit that now has a 300 feet drop off.
NO MENTION of the direct and steadfast support, nay leadership, of the illegal alien invasion.
Nor a word on the single greatest transfer of capital in the history of man.
See my post #24.
I don't understand how Trump bears any responsibility for a disaster that's been in the making since before he was born.
If your contention is that America is headed for collapse, OK.
If it's that Trump has anything to do with setting that up...I contend you are speaking feelings rather than facts and reason.
The disaster is something that Trump is stating and that the disaster is coming because of the uselessness of DC. The fact of the matter in the last several years DC has had no budget, and DC has issued stupidity under Obama. trump is running for political office so he is basically stating that he will deal with the disaster, but the disaster he is causing is no better. The national debt has multiplied significantly under Obama because of the continuing resolution process.
Lets look at Trump in NJ - trump casino is basically shuttered for the next 10 years, so no one can reopen it nor can another casino come into the picture. So NJ has a casino that Trump filed for bankruptcy for and it is basically mothballed for the next 10 years instead of any type of development. Tell me is Trump a success? How many businesses has Trump had to file bankrupotcy for. So to say trump has answers, what solutions has Trump solved with his continual businesses faltering into bankruptcy. So Trump is a disaster too.
Trump no longer owns either Atlantic City casino. He sold them both.
in the 10 Year Casino restriction on shuttered Trump Plaza article AP July 9, 2015.
Atlantic City’s former Trump Plaza casino is likely to remain closed for at least 10 years following a judge’s approval Thursday of a deed restriction prohibiting anyone from re-opening it as a casino. further in the article Billionare investor Carl Icahn, who is in the process of buying Trump Entertainment out of bankruptcy court approves of the deed restriction, according to Trump entertainment court filing. Trump entertainment tried for years to sell the property while it was still a casino. A february 2013 deal to sell it to a California company for $20 million - what would have been the lowest price ever for an operating casino - fell through within months.
Basically as July 9, 2015 the sale of Trump Plaza Casino in Atlantic City NJ was still ongoing.
Good on Trump. May he BLOW ‘EM ALL OUT of the TUB.
Your ignorance of "business" is breathtaking!
You don't win at chess without sacrificing some pieces.
Your comment is inappropriate. Maybe the administrator needs to clean up your potty mouth!
I run a business! right now my business is running perfectly while I care for a elderly parent whom has Alzheimers disease, while waiting patiently to put her in a nursing home. My mother is in the last stage of Alzheimer’s disease and in her final months of life.
So do not tell me I do not how to run a business. I have 35 employees whom are all counselors. I also am a pastor in a church whom happens to be on sabbatical to care for my mother. So watch your verbage. Guess what paper tiger I also served as a marine in the US Marine Corp. So take your proverbial stupidity and shove it!
Donald trump 6 bankrupticies in the business world. I work with people from all walks of life whom go through struggles.
what do you do paper tiger, probably sit in your parents basement in your underwear all day!
Paper tiger meaning translated from the Chinese means someone whom acts strong but in all actually is ineffectual and not worthy of challenge. So the truth is in your name a ineffectual blowhard whom knows nothing and does nothing. Hey administrator we have yet another liberal rying to portray something that he is not an conservative that is nothing more than a TROLL

Agreed. Unfortunately, not everyone is familiar with the kind of business in which Trump is involved:
Beyond his traditional ventures in the real estate, hospitality, and entertainment industries, Trump has established the Trump name and brand in other industries and products. Trump has succeeded in marketing the Trump name on a large number of products, including Trump Financial (a mortgage firm), Trump Sales and Leasing (residential sales), Trump Restaurants (located in Trump Tower and consisting of Trump Buffet, Trump Catering, Trump Ice Cream Parlor, and Trump Bar), GoTrump (an online travel website),[48] Donald J. Trump Signature Collection (a line of menswear, men's accessories, and watches), Donald Trump The Fragrance (2004), Trump magazine, Trump Golf, Trump Chocolate, Trump home (home furnishings), Trump Productions (a television production company), Trump Institute, Trump The Game (1989 board game), Donald Trump's Real Estate Tycoon (a business simulation game), Trump Books, Trump Model Management, Trump Shuttle, Trump Ice, Trump Mortgage, Trump Vodka, and Trump Steaks. In addition, Trump reportedly receives $1.5 million for each one-hour presentation he does for The Learning Annex. ---
It's simply beyond the understanding of many.
35! Holy cow! Excuse me! I didn't realize you were a mogul!
And as for my "verbiage." It's been here much longer than you have, and will no doubt be here long after you, so if you don't like it take it up with management.
Aside from the hackneyed "parents basement" cliché, you know there's nothing more pathetic than the manifestly impotent "I'm a former 'x' so you better watch your mouth" bit, right?
It’s actually an anti-american quote by Mao Zedong. Calm down.
I neglected to mention that my source is Wikipedia.
