I don’t do that but I have been on the receiving end every day. What is the point? So tiresome.
... And not very good ones, at that.
Don’t ever post to me.
A Team of Rivals worked well for Mr. Lincoln and I’m sure it will work well for Mr. Trump.
Competition is a conservative virtue.
It’s an open forum. Anyone can post to anyone.
.....and from Politico. Imagine that!
Looking forward to your ZOT.
Businessmen are held accountable for their results: politicians are not.
Trump didn't realize that he would be competing against vermin without honor.
Back at ya.
Trump is doing the right thing here. If some don’t like the new set up, they might hear 2 words they don’t want to hear, “You’re FIRED!
With all due respect, gray whiskers, Donald Trump's entire business career was conducted without honor, one need merely read the pleadings of those who sued him for fraud and acknowledge that within days he has paid off some of those victims to keep them silent in this election year.
Ted Cruz has played entirely by the rules and with honor.
Trump didn't realize he would be competing against vermin without honor.
Can you imagine Trump as President United States returning home after having been flimflamed by Vladimir Putin or the Chinese and telling America that he didn't realize he was dealing with people without honor?
Donald Trump in his business career consorted with convicted felons, mafioso, corrupt union officials, hired illegals, imported foreign goods for sale in America, exploited the bankruptcy laws, opened titty bars, dabbled in professional wrestling, prize fighting, beauty contests, and fraudulent "University", sold shoddy condominiums and behaved brutally toward his tenants and has been sued, it seems, by nearly everybody he ever dealt with.
It is a grotesque miscarriage to associate Donald Trump and his ego with "honor."
Sure, if they want to be a creepy stalker.
I'll just point out that there are one set of intricacies for business, and one for politics. Trump is good at business, Cruz is good at politics. But businessmen know they can go before a supposedly neutral arbiter (binding arbitration or a judge/jury); with politics, the deck is kinda stacked in favor of insiders. Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura complained about this once he was mayor of Brooklyn Park, how hard it was to move upstream to the state level without the explicit favor of the party bosses.
International politics are different, because Trump as President would not be subject to rules written by Putin and China; further, he'd be commander-in-chief of the US military. He wouldn't be going in with no tools.
Incidentally, and I'm serious here. Someone (a member of the Cruz Cucks Clan -- no slam at you btw, I consider you as intellectually honest, unlike them), someone posted with glee that Trump had had four companies declare bankruptcies. Someone else pointed out, for all the businesses he's started, and for the areas he's competed in, that's a pretty good track record. Obligatory joke: how do you end up with *millions* in the airline business? Answer: start with billions, and work down.
So the corresponding question is, given he's been in NYC, how many lawsuits are par for the course for businesses running out of there? You know, poor litigants hoping to strike it rich against Mr. Deep Pockets, and the sheer number of people all with a chip on their shoulder, and all that. It'd be interesting to see what the per capita lawsuit rate for NYC business is.
I've heard both of Trump's sons, and his daughter, being interviewed on the radio. They all speak well, and with presence, dignity and respect. They're doing *something* right.
Which also makes me believe that he'll never spend his own money to run independently if he doesn't get the nomination regardless of what he threatens. And there is no pac money supporting him.
Correct.
Are you going to make a list of who can reply to your posts?
As a matter of fact, it reflects well on Trump that he can tact into the wind. Manafort is a real pro.
“This is an example of Donald Trump managing.
This from a man who has been brought in to repair the damage done by Donald Trump’s ego.”
My, my, how was Donald Trump ever able to manage a 10 billion dollar real estate, etc. empire for the last 40 years. Rather puts the lie to your comments about Trump’s managerial ability, doesn’t it. Are you a billionaire? Nope.
