All those focusing on his demeanor have glossed over Hillary's ACTUAL crimes

Then I'd say you're foolish for believing the media's gossip about Trump. . :{

I'd say you'd think I've onle been watching the news for a year or two. Of course the fact that I've read a couple of his books over the past few decades shouldn't matter, or that I've had him on my radar for nearly as long shouldn't count, either.

I've also done a bit on running a psychological profile of him. He's an excellent saleman for the masses, but a smart shopper would avoid him like poison. Had he had to build his empire from scratch, he wouldn't have been as successful. Successful, yes. But not where he is today. Just like Hillary, having a rich father didn't hurt. If he had to do it himself, he'd be selling used cars and probably have his own dealership by now.

I also have a bit of journalistic training behind me from a time when the fairness doctrine was in place allows me to read an article and sift through the BS. Trust the media to make my decisions? Yeah, right.

But for that matter, how else would I judge a candidate worthy? It unworthy? Hillary had had a shitload of good press thanks to the manipulation of the media by the former DNC chair. Still, I was able to sift through that crap and know she isn't qualified to be president. Think I can't do the same on The Donald?

Let's see what he's got. He can connect with the American working class. That's his strongest point. But I'm a skeptic. I've seen bluster, before, but I'm not sure that he can pull off what he says he can do. After all, he hired undocumented workers from Poland to work on one of his buildings, then tried to stiff them on their wages. He's such a poor employer that he still has to get work visas to staff hid golf club in Florida. Besides 4 bankruptcies, his leadership skills are excellent? Every time a business fails that has his name on it, regardless if he's directly or indirectly involved, is a reflection on him.

Basically, I have to rely on his business record, and while it looks successful, it is only because a lot of people were cheated. Do I want to be cheated? Nope. Another reason why I won't vote for Hillary, either.

So tell me, what sources did you use to make your decision. Obviously you haven't read the media and been bamboozled. Was it his work on the Apprentice? I've yet to hear how any of his policies will work other than build a wall. How will he break up the too big to fail banks? How will he reign in Wall Street when he's already shown hes not afraid to issue junk Bonds on his own businesses. How is he on the environment? Start talkingissues

lol What do I think? I think this long diatribe you posted on my meme is ALL YOUR OPINIONS.

You clearly have something against him from the start (like his dad giving him a loan) and want to demonize him. *slow claps. :{

Yup, like Trump: no issues, all bluster.

Seriously, if you take a stand to support a candidate, you'd best be prepared to say why. Otherwise, you just show a lack of thought. Okay, I'll get the ball rolling. Anybody but Hillary. If I hadn't chosen to vote the way I am, that would almost be enough.

How about, at least Trump was chosen by the people of the party, not some rigged insider finagling. Damn, you could get a lot of Bernie supporters that way.

You have the floor: Why Trump? I've given you two issues to start with. Compare him with Hillary. Need a nudge? How does this work: He's actually an employer. Do your research. I'm not baiting you. How many people does he employ compared to Hillary? I'm giving you the same ammunition you'd need if you went door to door recruiting support. You've already got the passion for it, but you're passion is hard to sell. The Donald is doing a good job. So can you.

But you don't actually care WHY I support him, you just want to ridicule me for supporting him.

And I already pointed out that you have a grudge against him for his dad giving him a loan.

YOUR motives are clear as day. Demonize Trump because his dad helped him become rich.

And do I have to say WHY I support him? NO. That's YOUR OPINIONS cropping up again instead of FACTS/TRUTH.

And you're being a douchebag in how you ask me why. Why should I respond respectively to that?

"I've given you two issues to start with."

EXACTLY. You want to steer the narrative just like the liberals. LOL!!!

"Do your research."

Aren't you assuming too much? What makes you think I haven't done any research?

Oh wait, that's because you want to control the conversation and act as if you're saying ANYTHING OTHER THAN YOUR OPINIONS ABOUT TRUMP.

"You've already got the passion for it, but you're passion is hard to sell. The Donald is doing a good job. So can you."

Oh, so you're just batshit crazy. I get it now. :{

Really. Why would I ridicule you unless it were some bullshit reason like he's going to deport the Mexicans and Muslims.

Now if you said it's because he can make America great again by overturning TPP and other international trade agreements to increase the employment potential for American workers. Why don't you go from that angle? I already know both the question and answer. The question everyone is going to ask is how is he going g to do it? The answer is going to blow you away. Damned if you know, damned if I know, damned if even he knows. But you have faith in his problem solving capabilities to see that it happens. If he can't get CONgress to support him, he's got something else that will work. It's called a ballot referendum. An exec order wouldn't do it, but ballot referendums would. Look it up. He sure could. And he'd know the people to get it rolling.

It'd take two years to come to fruition, minimum, but it can be done.

Congress won't like it, as the names of everyone that votes down overthrowing those agreements will be up for reelection that year.

This is what I meant by talking issues. There's others that he could be effective about, but the only way he's been able to get anyone's attention is to spout lowest common denominator rhetoric. But what happens in real life.

No, I'm not voting for Trump. But I'm very anti-Hillary.

Bring up an issue, I'll give you both sides. Why? Because I did my research. I'm not planning on voting for Trump, but that's because I have my own ideology.

But for someone thats voting for him, make sure it's for the right reasons. They're there, do when you get those hourly trolls, don't come off like a pigeon playing chess_knocking over the prices and shitting on the board. Use your intelligence.

You might actually win over converts if you use facts.

Now reread that part about TPP. I do like intelligent questions, and will be happy to answer them.

I know, the next question is my comment about the racist bullshit he threw out. I'll be glad to answer that later, but I have things to do this morning.

BTW, yes, I am batshit crazy. There's a fine line between genius and insanity: I purposely have an address in each zip code.

You can't just extrapolate Trump's bankruptcies into government practices though.

He decided to cut his losses on those four companies and move on because he has 500 other companies to run. He might have been able to turn them around if he stuck with them, but why do that when you have hundreds more that are profitting.

Also, we don't know the circumstances as to why those four companies tanked. Could have not been his fault.

You mentioned other companies of his that were bought out. Well I'd say, if someone else wanted to invest in them, then they obviously weren't going under.

Warren Buffett has failed with companies too. He's still widely regarded as one of the best business minds. The fact is that to become as successful as Trump is, you have to be good at working with people and managing, which is what I think is what can make him successful as President.

Look dude, you CLEARLY don't care what my reasons are.

You just want to bash Trump and his supporters with YOUR OPINIONS.

YOU haven't convinced me that Trump is a bad candidate yet. And I don't think you ever will.

So STFU already with all your pseudo intellect kid. :{

I'd rather spend my time bashing Hillary. But you've answered my question. You're just another one of those pansy racists he attracts. You've givene a good idea for one of tomorrow's memes.

How come you don't want to discuss Trump's 99% success rate as a business owner?

Okay, let's look at his successes.

Trump airlines.
Trump water.
Trump steaks. (Reviewer said "Greasy with no flavor". I'm assuming he was talking about the steaks, not Trump, but if the shoe fits)
Trump Mortgage. Big success. Could be a Bad Luck Brian Meme. He started that in 2006.
Trump university.

Google Trump's business failures if you dare. Those four bankruptcies are among his sucesses. My favorite is when the condo board at Trump Placed fired the Trump Organization a few years back for poor management.

500 businesses? He's had a shitload that folded or were bought out at a loss to the Trump organization.

No, Trump is far from having a 99% business success rate.

There's more, but you know how to Google.

My analysis, even with his failures: he's good at business, not government.

Government is not a business. A business, run right, turns a profit. Government is a non profit. The bankruptcies I pointed out are allowable in the business world.with government, they aren't. We've had too many cities declare bankruptcy in my life. It was never pretty. But cities can fall back on their state government to bail them out, just like a state government can fall back on the federal government should the state go bankrupt. If the federal government goes bankrupt, who can it fall back on.

As a businessman, Trump is known as a risk taker. It works in business. Pardon my analogy, but this actually is a theory in many aspects: it's the bucket of slop/shit/whatever. The theory goes that if you toss a bucket of shit against a barn door, some will stick. It works in business, advertising, and entertainment. Create 100 businesses, invest a total of $1M in each one. Sixty fail. Loss $60M. Thirty hold their own, but profits are small. No loss. But ten ofcthode businesses go through the roof. They more than cover the cost of the initial investment. End of five years, your ROI 10:1, or $10 for every dollar invested. That $60M loss is covered by the $1B return.

That is how a major business should work.

But government isn't a business. They provide a service to their people, at cost. In a monarchy, the surplus goes to the monarch. Where would the "profit" go in a republic? It's a different mindset.

Trump doesn't have that mindset. Sure, he can save money to cut taxes NY cutting services, but what services.

So saying he's a good businessman is not a qualification. Different rules apply. Bankruptcy isnt an option.

"LOL. Yup, a pansy ad racist. Otherwise you could discuss why Trump can make America great.

Kid, you got a lot of learning to do."

Bwahahahahahahaha!!!

One, you can't type for shit.

Two, you come to your conclusions without facts.

Three, you're trying to mimic my use of "kid", which is really cute that you feel the need to imitate me kid.

And four, you can't "discuss" shit without being condescending.

You're doing so well at convincing me Trump is a bad candidate and that YOUR opinions are superior kid. *makes masturbatory gesture :{

ROFL!!!

I love, absolutely LOVE, how you just ASSUMED that I'm a "pansy racist"! LOL!!!

You've just proven that you don't base your opinions/views/beliefs on FACTS. ROFL!

You internet "experts" make me so happy. :{

Lol, these Trump haters got nothin'.

LOL. Yup, a pansy ad racist. Otherwise you could discuss why Trump can make America great.

Kid, you got a lot of learning to do.

Lol. Man they love the whole "four bankruptcies" attack don't they?

Gotta have a yardstick to measure success. It's a good way to bring out the less intelligent.

One person looks at it as a failure, another looks at it as a method of problem solving. It's hurt his businesses in financing ability.

What's the upside to his bankruptcies. It's there if you look. Don't be like a Hillbot and just dismiss a problem. Yes, it is a concern, but until you can give an answer, not totally dismiss it, it's going to hang over his head like the rigged primaries of the Democratic party.

Want to measure success? Four of his companies have gone bankrupt...out of FIVE HUNDRED! That's over a 99% success rate.

If Drumpf had 496 successful businesses, why is only one still running? What if those 4 bankruptcies were merely examples?

Also, I love the way the both of you picking on this guy.

Trump still has 500 companies. What are you talking about?

Picking on him? He came to this meme to start an argument.

Google it, he had tons of bankruptcies. The reason behind is riches is because he inherited it.
Nope, he came to state an opinion, and you both started blasting paragraphs of gibberish at him.
Also, I got the Make Donald Drumpf Again Chrome Extension, so talk about Drumpf all you like, and it'll still mean nothin.

Nah bro, he "blasted" me with a long comment and I replied to it, and I wasn't even insulting so I'm not sure what your deal is.

Trump didn't inherit his billionaire status, he earned it. No amount of liberal butthurt from you will change that. He's had FOUR companies go bankrupt, if it were more, don't you think Hillary would be using it against him?

Why are YOU on this meme other than to argue?

Where do you hear that he has had 500 businesses?

Yeah it's like "excuse the hell out of me for taking risks and trying to be a f**king billionaire over here."

And it's not 4/4, it's 4/500. Libs. :{
