People keep belittling the candidates for their flaws and it always reminds me of this quote from Teddy Roosevelt:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” ― Theodore Roosevelt
Trump works for himself. Fiorina worked for shareholders. There’s a big difference. When you work for others, and are well compensated for it, you are accountable for producing results.
How many costly failures would your bosses tolerate? Fiorina is a two time loser.
Trump may suffer a loss here and there, but overall he makes a lot of money. He’s basically just an investor. Fiorina on the other hand was a manager. Carson was neither an investor or a manager. He’s a brilliant and principled guy, but he has a lot to learn about business and politics.
Let’s see the evidence Trump destroyed these businesses by using unsound and unacceptable business practices rather than the cause being a sagging economy.
Hint, one of the very FIRST businesses to suffer in an economic downturn is leisure.
Hint no. 2, Casino’s are a BIG part of leisure activity and guess who is big in Casino’s and luxury hotels (with gambling).
Fiorina wrecked the only 2 companies she ever ran.
Trump says he had like 4 bankruptcies out of 100 companies he owned. Big difference in the ratio of success.
Also, Carly doesn’t have 10 billion dollars. So obviously Trump had to have lots of successful companies.
Show me a man who hasn’t had failures in life and I’ll show you a man who really hasn’t tried all that hard. I’m not going to vote for Trump, but 4 bankruptcies among the numerous businesses he has owned and run is nothing.
