If you are referring to his donations to Dems, consider this.

He does business in both NY & CA among other places and both States are heavily Dem. in order for a builer/developer such as Trump to do business he must go through an arduous permit process. If he never gave a dime to Deems what do you think his chances of getting properly permitted would be and how long would it take?

Not a popular opinion yet, but I think Trump would be our strongest candidate in the general election. I believe there are a substantial number of moderates/working class white Dems who are concerned on immigration who wouldn’t worry about Trump being “right-wing”.

I do think Trump is an East Coast moderate on most stuff. And I believe the electorate intuitively knows it as well. While that means conservatives need to make sure we box Trump into positions he can’t wiggle out of once in office, it also means his electability is higher in the general.

Shorter version: A lot of people who would never ever vote for Cruz might actually pull the lever for Trump.

tables seat a certain number comfortably, and smaller chairs won’t change that.

I organize events regularly. My experience is that chair size can indeed affect the number who can be seated comfortably at a table. If the larger chairs have arms or have a wide footprint for other reasons, that could easily make the difference between seating 6 or 8 at a long table.

Turning 200 into 320 means turning a table for eight into a table for twelve. Give it a try.

Obama, or Soetoro, or whatever name this foreign exchange student chooses, is the most despicable chunk of human debris to ever trot across America’s political stage.

And that’s saying quite a bit.

He may also rank up there with the world’s socialist/communist despots.

What is this creature still doing in the White Hut?

I would support your position, if individuals who commit rape were castrated.

Actually I am a pro 2nd amendment, 100% pro-life, anti-Big government, pro-lower taxes, Conservative. How many times has Trump changed party affiliations? Is he still Eminent Domain? Does he still support the confiscatory 14% wealth tax?.

Maybe you sTrumpettes need to have a rectum craniotomy.

Like the inevitability of it happening will be a sure thing with a president not afraid to tackle the true problems of this pitiful republic.

You have to remember that President Trump will be dealing with a Congress full of people he's called idiots and incompetent. And regardless of how accurate those descriptions might be nobody likes to be labeled like that. So Trump will have no support from the Democrats and tepid support at best from the Republicans.

The problem many have with this list is not what is on it now, but what was on it as little as 2-3 years ago. Seven through nine, at a minimum, have all changed in that time span.

that historical proof is not histrionics.....

You obviously do not understand the nature of "proof." Pretending data points, liberally mixed with hyperbole, constitutes proof is indeed "histrionics."

Now come on billy - give me more credit - and slow down and understand what you're justifying. Yes I realize that. Duh. Point A: that doesn't change the fact: THAT IS CRONY CAPITALISM not free market. And point B: this is the problem with choosing a leader from a blue state....they ALL have developed liberal reflexes to survive in those blue states. We're NEVER gonna turn America red with a blue state Republican. NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

Which is my point to begin with. Just like Mitt proved you cannot be governor of Massachusetts and a Republican President in the same lifetime....you can't be a NY crony and a Republican President in the same lifetime.

I should add that this is so deep in the weeds, we might be talking about a candidate for low-level management. The kind where you’re asked in the initial interview to “describe a situation you encountered where you had to solve a problem: what resources did you use, and what was the outcome?”
He’s running for POTUS and talking about ballroom seating.

So you show me a blurb of your own opinion?

My, you really do have quite the opinion of yourself....

I’m talking published writings that show me anything but a status quo mouthpiece. The problem is, even at your advance age, I am way ahead of you and you can’t handle it.

Proof is proof....time and dated published materials are proof....I could bomb you with thousands of items.....but you’re not man enough to admit that your accusation was wrong......that low t thing again I guess.

I just ran this by a family member with some experience and heard it doesn’t add up.

Yeah, right. Thread gets posted here at 7:36 am (Eastern time) and you have time to reach out to a family member with ballroom seating experience to reply back here at 8:08 am - barely a half hour later.

Now that's something that doesn't quite add up!

Anyway, I have my own story to tell and it doesn't involve reaching out to family experts. My wife and I have two dining tables, a large one in the dining room and a smaller one in the kitchen nook. Normally we can seat 4 people in the kitchen nook with the regular chairs. But when we have company over and want to stay in the kitchen nook, we just swap out those chairs with the dining room chairs, which are smaller. So we can now fit six people in the kitchen nook. Same size table, just different size chairs. Even in the larger dining room, which seats 8, we can easily expand it to 12 by putting folding chairs in the corners.

As for the fire marshall thing, you are just making an assumption that it was rated for 200. Could be rated for 600 for all we know.

There was no mention about changing the tables. They already had tables that sat 12, but because the chairs they were using were so big, they only had 8 chairs per table. He replaced with 12 smaller chairs.

To get your post read by more people try using percentage for the width of images. This automagically resizes to the existing window/container. This makes the image appear entirely in any view.

<img src="http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q727/CEdmundWright/Translate_zps47jr8mxz.png" width="100%"> Yields:

Try resizing the window.

This can sometimes look a little screwy in the reply since the size of that container varies widely but don't worry, it will look fine in the posting.
