“He’s already waffling.
This is a guy who enters into contracts to borrow huge amounts of money, and then turns around and pulls a bankruptcy, repeatedly. Do you really trust a guy who breaks his promises like that to do what he says?
I just don’t get how credulous FR’s Dupes for Donald really are. It’s mystifying.”

It was 4 business subsidiaries of Trump’s, out of approximately 500 businesses entities that Trump has, that ended up in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Trump never went personally bankrupt himself . Got that, 4 out of 500 businesses. Geez, and in case you don’t know it, bankruptcy is legal and has given many people, both personally and business-wise, the ability and opportunity to dig themselves out of a hole, not ruin their whole lives and that of their families, and get back on their feet. That’s why bankruptcy laws exist, a way to bounce back in life.

I personally had relatives that went bankrupt when the bottom fell out of the market in 2008, and like many non-franchise small restaurant enterprises, they went belly up. Many small Ma and Pa operations did. It happens to people both personally and business-wise all the time. People who take risks, God bless them, put it all on the line, and sometimes they make it, sometimes they don’t. But without them, our world would never have gotten anywhere in history Never. Eighty percent of jobs are created by small businesses. No risks, few jobs available.

For any people who may have lost out in the Trump subsidiary bankruptcies (it was primarily banks and financial institution investors, not Joe Six-Pack) Trump through all of his businesses has hired thousands more people over his career, many of them minorities, including lots of hispanics, as Trump is primarily in the building trades. You people who constantly knock Trump without knowing a whole lot about him and what really happens in his world of business, irritate the heck out of me. You know little but badmouth much.

Chapter 11 allows businesses to reorganize and get back up or to get out of the business entirely if necessary. Companies utilize this tool all the time. United Airlines, in fact probably most of the airlines, have gone in and out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy over and over again. Sometimes bankruptcy is necessary and that is why it exists in law.

Bottom line, get off your high horse, and get on the Trump bandwagon, a place where every single American citizen with an ounce of sense and a craving for major positive change in our country, needs to be. Without Trump there will be very little change at all in the way things are currently done, as a professional politician winning will then be virtually guaranteed. It won’t be Ben Carlson, it won’t be Carly Fiorina winning, it will be from the political class, most likely RINO at best Jeb Bush. Go Trump to save our country!

I’m in the building trades, and as I stated above, I know all about how Trump operates, ripping off contractors. You know the little guy, plumbers, roofers, etc.

You make it sound small, but the amounts were in the billions. Yet none of his other ventures were at risk. He owed the money he'd promised to pay and had resources available with which to pay at least a substantial fraction. Did he dig into his "other pocket" for some of that cash? No. Was it legal? Yes. Was it ethical? No.

You can trust him. I don't.

That’s why bankruptcy laws exist, a way to bounce back in life.

He wasn't destitute and was at no such risk.

I personally had relatives that went bankrupt when the bottom fell out of the market in 2008, and like many non-franchise small restaurant enterprises, they went belly up. Many small Ma and Pa operations did.

That is a far cry from Donald Trump, and therefore a FALSE analogy.

You're not doing very well.

Trump through all of his businesses has hired thousands more people over his career, many of them minorities, including lots of hispanics ILLEGALS, as Trump is primarily in the building trades.

And you know it.

God bless them, put it all on the line, and sometimes they make it, sometimes they don’t.

Trump has never seen the kind of risks I've taken, and neither have you.

Bottom line, get off your high horse, and get on the Trump bandwagon, a place where every single American citizen with an ounce of sense and a craving for major positive change in our country, needs to be.

Your projection of a "high horse" suggests you think we should all fall to a lower level of conduct. No thank you. I aspire to a higher level of conduct, every day. And so should you, starting with honesty.
