Are you still going to vote for Trump if he’s VP?

Trump’s Infatuation with billionaires? Was Mike Pence a billionaire? Most of his staff and cabinet were not billionaires.

We agree on that.

I think a lot of people who are reacting with “He’s boring”, etc. haven’t seen very much of him. Did you watch his speech in New Jersey this weekend? He’s actually a pretty decent speaker and just as importantly, does not come across as insincere like Mike Pence did.

He had by far more billionaires in his cabinet than any other president.

Here’s a list of Trump’s cabinet secretaries. Hardly what I would call an infatuation with billionaires. On the other hand, if it’s the right billionaire, a billionaire could very well be the best man for the job. Someone who actually has experience with the subject matter is not a bad thing, as long as their loyalties are to the country and not to the 1%. Someone like, I don’t know, Trump, for example.

BTW, here’s a look at Obama’s cabinet. Maybe on or two fewer billionaires, but the billionaire he had - John Kerry - was a doozy. He also had a number of very wealthy multi-millionaires - like Hillary Clinton. I’ll take Trump’s cabinet any day.

No. I just watched him at the debates. He comes across as thoughtful and succinct. Two good qualities, but not so much for a candidate running a campaign.

This is all I found. I’ll watch it in a bit.

Last I knew, Kerry wasn’t actually a billionaire.

But Wilbur Ross, Linda McMahan, Betsy DeVos, Elaine Chao, Steve Mnuchin, Alex Azar, Bill Barr, etc., etc.

What a mix of billionaires and butt boys to billionaires!

Bill Barr a billionaire? Alex Azar a billionaire? Etc. a billionaire? Come on man. Give me a break. As far as John Kerry, he and his wife’s combined wealth hovers at about a billion.
