Love em both.

Having looked carefully at both, I only love one of 'em in terms of the White House. One of them makes promises to be tomorrow what he was yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that. It establishes good credibility.

The other -- Trump -- makes promises that he will be tomorrow something very different from what he was yesterday and the day before.

Trump's credibility derives solely from a "personal brand" of unbridled success and flawless business judgment that he carefully established in the MSM and which, according to Forbes, he values as worth several billion dollars above and beyond his actual real/tangible assets -- see Forbes Magazine, "Trump Exaggerating his Net Worth by 100 Percent in Presidential Bid" 06/16/2015 (can't link because Forbes' website won't cooperate, but you can access the article through a google or bing search).

How important (and therefore justifiable) was Trump's skillfully-built "personal brand" in his success? Well, out of some 38 dozen billionaires in the United States, among whom Donald Trump is 3rd tier, the vast, vast majority have done quite well, many quite a lot better than Donald Trump, with no such "personal brand" whatsoever. That includes entrepreneurs, hoteliers, and several real estate moguls including one who is worth nearly four times more than Trump. And he didn't need no steenking "personal brand."

Trump's credibility is built on smoke, mirrors, and marketing. He's a BAD RISK.
