Shocker From Ed Schultz: Trump 'Would Function Very Well as President'
NewsBusters ^ | January 20, 2016 | 1:04 PM EST | Jack Coleman

After bellowing on demand for several years at MSNBC, America's version of the Russia Today television network, Ed Schultz starts work at the actual RT next week. But following his fair and balanced commentary about Donald Trump on last night's Alan Colmes radio show, Schultz might just as easily fit in at Fox News. [...]

"... I don't think enough attention has been paid to actually how Trump would function as president. Let's put policies aside for a moment. Let's put aside what he believes or what he might do -- how would he do it? I think he would function very well as president of the United States. I think he's used to making decisions. I think that he can manage teams. He can put the fear of God in people to make sure that they perform and he'll make cuts and he'll do things that, he'll, I believe that he would be a very good manager and a very good ...

That could well be the case.

This guy started out conservative, so this does not surprise me that he might flop back the other way.

If Trump stands a chance at getting along better with Putin, and the Ruskies see this as a good idea, then that would explain his shift.

Maybe this guy just blows with the wind.

Now if Trump allows Schultz to swear him in at his next rally, I’ll be concerned.

Schultz is usually wrong. If Trump wins, we better hope he got one right, for a change.

He had a reputation for vindictiveness against ex employees and threatens them with lawsuits. Wonder why they never say anything?

An old college roomate that has. A supply company up there told me he is like trying to pull teeth from a tiger without novacain when it comes time for collections. Some people here will say that is just good business but that is just ignorance talking.

You’ll need to provide a source for such claims. I’ve never heard this.

His company or do you have to have ten for it to be for real.

There is also a rather long story on the internet about the woman that makes the great big signs that say “Trump ???” on the side of his buildings and she said he was impossible to collect from using every excuse in the world not to pay.

Wow, it’s a damn good thing we don’t judge candidates by association here at FR!

I appreciate the irony in your comment...great to see a thread that’s fun for a change. With the humor in it I may even be able to read to the end...which has been getting harder to do with political threads being less informative and more combative.

Do you trumpers think the sun rises in the west? Your intelligence levels indicate that.

Do a little work on your own, it was an article in a magazine! Now if you do not believe it I don’t give a damn.

Why not, I don’t believe 90% if what you trumpanzees claim anyway, you have clearly polluted FR.

I’m not committed to any Republican candidate at this time Bifferoony. I’m simply pointing out that the posting of unreferenced claims from memory doesn’t cut it on FR.

You’ve been here long enough to know, you made the claim and it’s not up to others to track down info to back you up, you need to provide a source. Even so, I’ve done a web search for nonpayment on “Trump” signs and haven’t found anything like what you’re saying. That doesn’t mean it’s not out there, but I looked and did not find it. What was the magazine?

Easy quick search on Google pops up one story by Reuters. The one about the big signs on the sides of his buildings did not come up. If I run across it later I will tell you.

Until then, maybe try vetting your own crooks.
