He is the greatest American since George Washington. Did you know that he spends his money to fight for your country?

Trump doesn’t believe in stocks. That’s why he told Bernie Madoff he wasn’t interested.

Actually did some work.

Trump’s investment performance indicate he has a personality problem which is why he’s been on tv forever and out all the candidates people are least sick of seeing his face on tv.

He is not a particularly good businessman; had he invested his inheritance in a stock-market index fund, his net worth would be double what it is today.

Completely false. Forbes checked into this, and found his wealth would be about 75% of what they estimate it is now, NOT double.

Yes, people are so sick of seeing him, approaching 400,000 people have gone to see him in person at one of his rallies.

I’m not a fan of Trump - but this article is REALLY snarky.

I imagine lots of wealthy business owners might do better if they put all of their money in stocks. Of course then one doesn’t have the joy of creating stuff. And how about enjoying stuff? Did the writer account for all of the stuff Trump gets to enjoy (homes, vacations, cars, etc.) - or is all of that wealth also tied up in the stock market?

Utter CRAP!

Trump didn't inherit great wealth "before" he made it on his own and he is a VERY good business man.

Trump c an "wing it", because he actually IS brilliant.

Cruz may be the kin d of person who can easily get good grades, but he can't thin k on his feet, is incapable of "winging it", and like any good programmed robot, is very capable of repeating what he has studied and practiced saying. That's akin to Obama being a good telep;romp;ter reader.

A multi-billionaire—not too shabby. Real Estate is what he inherited and knows. Trump is a disciplined worker and leader. His mouth is not so disciplined however.

I like Cruz a lot and he was my first choice but the number Trump does on the press, I think we NEED someone like him.

Everything everyone says about him is what they used to say about Reagan as well.

What did you think of my erudite comment, O doughty one?
I’ve had my ration of these stupid Trump hit pieces.
Maybe it’s time we started giving them the reception they deserve.

...this article is REALLY snarky.

I agree. While reading, I heard it in the voice of that infamous Republican strategist, Rick Wilson.

"Spengler" writes that he got the idea from his daughter: "Trumpelstiltskin", isn't that clever.

I’m not impressed with this article, neither Trump or Cruz are perfect, neither Cruz or Trump are rotten, They both have very strong points and articles that are so imbalanced will change the minds of no one.

I agree. The truth is, it’s over for Ted.

Let them have their last remnant of happiness this election cycle.

When I think of all the money he blew on Iowa, spending a full year there, and couldn’t beat Trump by more than three point three precent, even using shady tricks...

It’s going to be a real short year for some people.

About all Ted succeeded in doing was to burn up supporter cash.

It's so nice to read such a professionally written, unbiased piece of journalism. I especially enjoyed the writer merely laid out the facts, allowing the reader to draw his own conclusions about the candidates. /s
