Part of the Donald Trump appeal is that he is a great businessman, and he certainly has taken his dad's business and grown it to big heights. But Trump is less of a business manager, and more of a marketing genius-a PT Barnum. He knows what to say and do to promote. It's why he is leading in the polls, and why he gets all the free airtime from the media.
His record as a COO/Manager, etc. is uneven. He has built businesses and he has destroyed them, as witnessed by his four bankruptcies. The Donald will correctly say he has never filed for bankruptcy. What he has done is driven a business into the ground causing the business to go belly up.
Donald Trump is a great "talker" and promoter, and to be perfectly honest that is part of what we need in America. Certainly in his effort to become president he has talked an excellent game and so far he has been lucky that there has been few attempts to back up his promoting skills.
America needs need much more than a promoter and bloviator, we need someone who can "manage," and the record shows Trump is not the best at managing.
Trump keeps saying he is a winner/he doesn't lose…That's not true, including the four bankruptcies, here are twelve times where he has lost:

Did you even read your link:
“Unlike most other airlines that failed during this time period, the Shuttle was still a valuable asset given its business-oriented customer base and access to slot-controlled airports in New York and Washington.
Citibank put the airline up for sale, and after some lengthy negotiations with Northwest and American, settled on a deal with USAir Group.
CITIBANK GOT THEIR $$$!
No and your reading abilities suck almost as badly as my writing abilities - almost, mind you.
This is yet another display of astounding arrogance and business illiteracy. Just astounding. They don’t teach high finace in J-school, and apparently glorified bloggers don’t much look into it before spewing, either.
What crap.
Which is why I requested a clarification. I still wonder what that means.
Find a good English teacher and perhaps they will help you with the conundrum. I am done.
LOl I am SO stealing that photo of Cruz in Canadian garb.
Trump is a low life sleaze ball who will use anyone for his benefit and will screw them over if he can.

Funny. That’s exactly what you find when you do research on Canada boy.
Negatives are definitely something you have to consider when choosing who you want for POTUS.
The Democrats will use the failed bussiness' and RICO lawsuits against Trump.
Doesn't mean he can't overcome it (Especially if Hillary runs for the dems).
But IMO Cruz is the better choice because he has less negatives , and has the best Conservative record.
While bad business deals/ illegal immigration have been very big problems- At the root of all our troubles is the fact that we have gotten away from, and need our country to get back to, the Constitutional and Judeo-Christian principles that make us a great nation.
That is what will put us back on track.
Ted Cruz is the best person for this job-not only because he knows our history and Constitution-but because he can also explain to people why these matter, and how they benefit everyone.
I also like that he is very open about his Christian faith, in spite of the fact that it irritates those who hate that our country has a Judeo-Christian foundation, and would like us all to forget about it.
I will continue to pray that Ted Cruz is our next president.
You don’t seem to understand what ‘default’ means. Yes, they sole the assets, but THEY DIDN’T GET BACK WHAT WAS OWED! They were stiffed by Trump. If it was worth more than was owed, it would still be called Trump Airlines.

As I stumbled upon this silly thread, it was my intent to post something close to what you just did - I’d love to hear from those in Cruz’s corner, other than Mike Lee, there seems to be no one. Dershowitz touting his brilliance doesn’t influence me one bit, since dirty dershowitz plays with little girls, his perspective is meaningless.
Then again, it’s been said there is a fine line between brilliance and insanity. Ted has a likability issue that cannot be ignored. I just don’t see how he can win with that reality hanging on him, aside the other issues, some of which you outlined here.
But hey, I believe his fans truly enjoy spinning tales about Trump and giggle like kids when they come up with new names for us - sigh, where have the adults gone?
What veterans groups will see money from Trump’s rally?
