Read the thread, you guys aren’t interested in substance, that is why you talk about Churchill, and ignore the substance and specifics that I post.

I don’t hate anyone, not even this 69 year old hustler, whose favorite president is Bill Clinton. and who is evidently going to attract the Ron Paul/Perot/Rand Paul/Romney/Jesse Ventura flakes here.

Congratulations.

“Celebrity candidates are untested and usually erratic or unstable.”

Like Ronald Reagan or Sonny Bono, or how about Clint Eastwood? Might want to rethink your post.

Okay, how about this? "Celebrity candidates who want to start out at the top are untested [by definition] and often unstable and erratic."

If Reagan ran for president without having been a state governor first or if Sonny or Clint wanted to start out by running for president, people wouldn't have trusted them and they wouldn't have won.

“Celebrity candidates are untested and usually erratic or unstable.”

Does that include successful billionaires who are stable enough to become celebrities?

Granted, Trump was stable enough to make (and lose and make and lose and make) a lot of money. But it was his being a showman and eccentric that made him a celebrity.

It's likely that there's some deeper cleverness that helped him to become a success, but winning over a TV audience is very different from handling Congress or Putin or the Iranians, and he hasn't shown he's got what it takes to do that.

“...and he hasn’t shown he’s got what it takes to do that.”

Which candidate has?

Trump contributed to the Clinton Foundation.

You want to build, you got to pay the VIG.

$9 billion in assets and $11 billion is debt makes you a "famous capitalist"?

How about $9 billion+ in assets and $1/2 billion in debt?

“Now, about those pills...you can’t stop taking them. People notice.

When was the last time you slept and had a good meal? “

Hm, maybe that does explain it.
