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 loseâ¦That's not true, including the four bankruptcies, here are twelve times where he has lost:

Looks like you stumbled over the mountain of DJT and will be hitting bottom around early 2017. You can keep the rest of them (Cruz included), I sure think they all suck and are not worth the effort to fight over. Too bad people let the MSN once again pick the Republican candidate - you’d think by now the electorate would have caught on.
Push come to shove, I’d rather support anyone who is not a socialist in sheep’s clothing displaying tyrannical qualities.
Miss marmelstein WE all need to just stay off of these anti Trump threads let them argue amongst themselves!!!!
Excellent comment on the contents of the posted article! /s
“A sucker born every minute..”
Indeed.....Ted’s announcement speech, where he asks you to use your ‘imagination’ and gives ZERO details.
What did the Candidates say about immigration, trade, terrorism, education, 2nd amendment, education in their announcement speeches?

and for the same reasons
On June 17, 2014, the Southern District Court issued an Order granting Plaintiff Tarla Makaeffâs Anti-SLAPP motion against Trump University, LLC (âTrumpâ), thereby dismissing Trumpâs specious $1 million defamation counter-claim against Makaeff. While the victory came more than four years after Trump filed its counterclaim, Makaeffâs case resulted in an important reaffirmation of the applicability of the anti-SLAPP law in federal court. Because Makeaffâs statements arose from protected activity and Trump could not show a probability of prevailing on its defamation claim, the court granted Makaeffâs anti-SLAPP motion. The California Anti-SLAPP Project, a leader in protecting First Amendment Rights, published a thorough article discussing Makaeffâs Anti-SLAPP motion, which can be found by visiting their website here.
The Crying Coward got his feelings hurt and sicced his lawyers on someone that said bad things about the Mouth. The Court slapped his sorry asp back to Manhattan and told him to quite whining about his N.Y. size case of Butthurt.
But, but we others lose the supreme enjoyment ... of watching Trumpeters cringe, shrivel, and collapse in a quaking heap of jello in same dark corner they crawled out from.
I stay off most of them - after all, they now comprise 75% of threads here!
Who isn’t in it for himself?
Also on February 21, 2014, the Southern District Court issued an Order denying Donald J. Trumpâs motion to dismiss Plaintiff Art Cohenâs RICO complaint against Trump asserting violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (âRICO Statuteâ), 18 U.S.C. § 1962(c).
Well said, Mom MD!
I still have some standards...unfortunately ;-)
When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.
You have not experienced life until you have had to meet a payroll of thousands of people.
Politicians including Cruz simply do not understand what it is like to experience all the regulations they create in a payroll. Cruz is clueless in this matter. Trump has done it for decades for tens of thousands of employees and that says an awful lot about the man’s character.
Give me a break. Trump has been disbursing the money he raised. Kelly has been relegated to the dust bin. Your spin is weak.
Serious question; what has Canada boy done that’s so great?
Research him
Alumni, roommates, law clerks, former staffers in the George W. Bush campaign and White House (and the president himself), members of Congress and others who have known Cruz ââ¬â lots and lots of people ââ¬â consider him socially awkward, nasty, dishonest
httpest, a blatant apple-polisher and all-around creepy guy. You can write off a few of these critics as jealous of his success, or liberal antagonists, but all of them? There is something badly amiss here. Cruz, who so obviously lacks emotional intelligence, cannot recognize it, but those closest to him surely must see that something is awry...
Ted Cruz the senator: Heard but not seen
The Texas Republican seriously lags most of his colleagues in attending hearings and casting votes.
Ted Cruz came to Washington two-and-a-half years ago pledging to be the anti-senator. But he’s been more like the no-show senator.
The Texas Republican seriously lags most of his colleagues in attending hearings and casting votes in what has been a Senate career long on rhetoric and short on Senate business.
He’s skipped the vast majority of Armed Services Committee hearings, is below-average in attendance on his other major committees and ranks 97th during the first three months of this year in showing up for roll call votes on the Senate floor. ... -Read more: Ted Cruz the senator: Heard but not seen
AND he wants to cut our senior’s Social Security
