A sure-fire way of assessing the threat that leftists feel toward any challenge to their nonsensical narratives and preposterous Trump Black and White Card RSN 320policies is to measure the long knives and “important” people they drag out to slam the competition.
Whether it’s the leftwing JournoList cabal of 400 so-called journalists and academics who in 2007 colluded to launch relentless character assassinations against every person who challenged Barack Obama about anything, or the obsessive sexist attacks and slander leveled in 2008 against Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin, or, more dramatically, the strange death of Obama critic Andrew Breitbart, the bleeding-heart left has zero tolerance for opposing opinions and those who express them.
But as we’ve seen in the past few days, Republican establishment heavyweights have their own long knives and “important” spokesmen, which they trotted out in force when billionaire real-estate magnate, philanthropist, and TV personality Donald Trump announced his run for the presidency of the United States of America on June 16, 2015.

because he isn’t a conservative
and he is “evolving” on social issues like homo marriage too
What do you mean, he’s worth twice what Forbes estimated.
Based on what? A more intense investigation estimated his net worth at between $150 million and $250 million.
And in depositions, Trump admits his valuation is based on, "how he feels."
He was paid $30,000 for a speech and he claimed he was paid $1 million. His explanation was they put up a billboard to promote that speech, so the value of the remuneration was $1 million.
Based on a one page summary of his net worth statement.
I will admit I haven’t seen it myself, but according to Trump, (when you stop laughing, continue reading) it shows something like 9.2 billions in assets, and 0.6 billion in liabilities.
He then insinuated that it would be more by the time he makes the filing.
those numbers are slightly off, as the announced net worth was about 8.75B
In another case, he claimed he owned 50% of something. When it was proved he only owned 30% he said "he felt" his ownership was really 50%, because he didn't put up cash. Do you really find that kind of thinking rational?
I imagine that a lot of people will pour over the numbers.
That may include you too.
I doubt that will ever be numbers. Wouldn’t it be a crime to file a false report? I don’t they will accept, “that’s what I feel it should be valued.”
