That sentence makes little sense. Of course, a person will use whatever "skills" they have to gain the office. That is what a candidate does. As for his own money.....well, good for Trump. He bought himself. He wasn't bought by someone else or a group of others.
I fear that some of the criticism of Trump is an unacknowledged class envy of someone who has much more than modest means. As someone who lives from paycheck to paycheck, I can say that I do not begrudge Trump his wealth nor his use of that wealth to gain more wealth. Business is the business of America. The wealthy create far, far more jobs than government ever could or ever has.
This short video is indicative of what the wealthy do on a daily basis. In the vast majority of cases, such actions never see the light of day. Once in a while, they do. Such as this is an example.
Kudos to trump and let's move on.
Well said
“Trump is a calculating businessman. He lives and breathes deals, buying politicians, and influencing the gubmint to increase his marketshare.
He is now using his money and other skills to gain the most powerful office.
I do not trust Trump’s temperament and he has no core principles.”
What does that have to do with the woman he helped? The vets he helped over decades? The mugging he stopped and mortgages he’s paid off?

It is not envy to be against a billionaire oligarch who has been openly buying politicians and influence in the open market. I just do not think a corruption enabler is the best person to fight political corruption. He should be in prison with his former/current/who-knows-for-sure friend Hillary.
lets see if the media reports this /sarc
While Hildabeast's crimes are pretty much established, I don't see any crimes Trump has committed. If it is making political campaign contributions, that is legal and should remain legal, within the bounds of campaign finance laws. If Trump had committed crimes, by now they'd have been aired and used against him. We haven't seen that.
interesting how some confuse core principals with political dogma.
I don’t know trump but I think he has to have something at his core that is strong because it is very hard for wealthy people to raise good kids. Usually you hear about the trouble there kids have gotten into and how there parents used there money to get them out. We have mot heard even a whisper of this from anyone and this year if there was some we would of heard it. the fact that we have not leads me to believe he will be a good leader if elected.
He is not the candidate I wanted and definitely is flawed but we all are flawed individuals what is important is whether those flaws will interfere with governing. I don’t think they will...
I have gone back and fourth on trump but it looks like he will have the most votes.
If trump has the most votes and the establishment takes it from him. I will support the nomination because there is not much choice we cant have Hillary or sanders in but I will quite being a republican over it and seek out like minded people who are interested in forming a new party if they are out there then move to remove what ever political power those people have regardless of the consequences
“If Trump had committed crimes, by now they’d have been aired and used against him. We haven’t seen that.”
Do you really think that the demonrats have even started against Trump? Other politicians have skeletons in their closets. Trump has entire graveyard buried in every metropolitan area.
Typical of a Presbyterian Christian. Not unlike myself. No guitars or bongo drums, or bragging about it. Members are of the "Frozen Chosen", Just humble followers of the Great I AM!.
We study hard, we work humbly in the World.
What ifs aren't bothersome to me. Those calculations were already made, long before the choice to run.
LOL! - you'd make a great TSA inspector at an airport with that type of character judgement.
I suppose, despite all the latest dirt and slime, you consider Cruz to be a really stand-up guy that can be trusted implicitly - despite his apparent willingness to let his ego take over and risk giving the WH to Hillary - as he refuses to directly deny certain charges....
