I think the party should be able to do better than somebody with a rollercoaster business career and a ridiculous personal life history.
The way the country's heading, his set of skills could come in handy, but I'd rather a business leader with more experience in avoiding bankruptcy rather than exploiting it.
I’m not saying Trump is this person, but it will take AN outsider to really do the dirty work of slashing the government. Anyone wrapped up in the establishment is going to run their mouth and do exactly nothing. They’ll cut 100 billion and proclaim it a victory, and many of the knee jerk republicans will clap and smile and forget that Obama increased the budget almost DOUBLE, and that a 100 billion dollar cut is the equivalent of taking a 10 cent coupon to the store to buy a $5000.00 entertainment center package.
It isn’t even enough to just roll back the budget to 2008 levels. The problems are so much deeper than that. As Rand Paul said, you have to cut DEPARTMENTS.
I’m not sure the person exists who both has the name and personality, and truly would do what is needed.
“He inherited his real estate career and fortune. He’s filed for bankruptcy twice. He’s been billions in debt and defaulted on loans, screwing banks and partners out of hundreds of millions of dollars.”
To the first statement, he started with about a million dollars and has parlayed it into billions. To the second, fair or not, bankruptcy (corporate) is often used as a shrewd business strategy. And to the third, well, he certainly will know how to fight that same thing against all the countries who have done (and are still doing) the same to OUR country.
Good point about the bankruptcies.
