... to continue the thought, in contemporary times we constantly seem to complain about a lack of good choices. Good choices come from the hard work of exceptional leaders. Exceptional leaders are risk takers. The trend in contemporary society is to be increasingly risk-averse. This risk aversion is enforced by small armies of bank accountants and bank lawyers. Therefore the efforts of society through accountants and lawyers counteract the type of leaders we seem to desire. In the long run, we deserve the leaders we get. We cannot have a risk averse society and make forward progress. Banks express society’s aversion to risk via their loan policies to businesses.

OMG this crap again. Business is business - it's only immoral when you don't do it right.

Bullcrap. "Business" such as you describe induces policing, courts, and lawyers, a huge overhead, much of it at public expense. Even bankruptcies have to be covered by the public to some degree in the form of higher interest rates to cover the bank's cash flow.

If Trump was a crook with all the people like you out there and all the lefty Manhattan DA's and US Atty's he'd have been in jail a long time ago.

Let's try a little thought experiment there.

If Hillary was a crook with all the people like you out there and all the lefty Manhattan DA's and US Atty's she'd have been in jail a long time ago.

Obviously not. When the crooks are part of the "lefty" system, like Trump has been, they don't go to jail unless they sting a bigger leftist crook.

Look, you posited a general hatred for business in America that I showed you does not exist. So that explanation doesn't fly. Tough. America's hatred for SOME business people arises when they appear to be crooks.

Are you planning to carry your hatred beyond the primaries and into the general election? What if Trump is the next president? Will you hate him then, too?

You bet. He's a lying con artist. You will learn to hate him too, but by then it will be too late. You could always try doing your homework instead? The media won't do it for you. He's their boy.

Homework? I don’t need no steenkin’ homework.

Washington DC is a china shop in need of a bull.
Trump is that bull. All the others, save Cruz, are
too weak-kneed to do what needs doing.

All the casinos took a hit after they started opening indian casinos everywhere. He has some of the best NYC and international real estate. he overcame the bankruptcies to become a billionaire. He will whip this country back into shape. He’s tireless and unlike hussein he will roll up his sleeves and get to work. Will probably even bring back the traditions of family Christmas in the White House.

Business is the art of making irrevocable decisions
based on insufficient information. It’s not for sissies.

Thank you for establishing your ignorance. Trump is a charter member of the cheap labor express, and has a court judgment against him as an abusive employer of illegal aliens.

But you knew that already, right?

I don’t care if Trump ...
... has a limo powered by illegal alien sweat.
... wears underwear made by Latvian orphans.
... has an aide to tell him what time it is.

He’s what this country needs, and he’s got my vote
just as assuredly as he has your hatred.

In the end, you're measured not by how much you undertake
but by what you finally accomplish.

Oh, you mean this country needs 11 million more Democrats?

Thanks for coming out.

Trumps bankruptcies alone do make him "unqualified" for the presidency.

The genius who believes he has mastered the art of the deal was told by many people before his bizarre investment in the Taj Mahal that the numbers simply could not work. Trump's megalomania and narcissism is so extreme that he simply would not listen to reason. He was the subject of an analyst's report which predicted bankruptcy for the Taj Mahal. Typically, Trump sued the analyst, caused him to be fired from his position, and then witnessed the Taj Mahal go bankrupt within months.

Donald Trump is not unqualified just for his bankruptcies and appalling business judgment alone but for his cruelty. His treatment of his tenants to evict them from his properties to in order to convert those properties was clearly cruel, and unlawful.

Donald Trump is not unqualified just for his bankruptcies or for his cruelty but for his associations with mafioso, convicted criminals, corrupt union officials, corrupt politicians, and even Democrats who have not yet been proved to be corrupt.

Donald Trump is not unqualified just for his bankruptcies or for his cruelty or for his associations alone but for his deceits. His outright misrepresentations concerning the quality of his buildings to tenants who have been misled and cheated with shoddy quality are notorious.

him him him him Donald Trump is not unqualified for his bankruptcies or his cruelty or his associations or his deceits alone but for his bullying of vulnerable people such as those he sought to deprive of their property by exploiting condemnation laws.

Donald Trump is not unqualified for his bankruptcies or his cruelty, or his associations, or his deceits, or his bullying alone, but for his boorishness, his grotesqueries, his endless puerile sexual innuendos.

Donald Trump as a human being is thoroughly unqualified for any position of power where ego, narcissism or greed might take the place of decency.

No, I'm not. Trump has promised to legalize the bulk of illegals "rapidly." He has also advocated citizenship for them. He's a charter member of the cheap labor express.

How do the police get involved in a Chapter 11? It would have to be a small bank to have to up interest rates on one loan. Public expense? How? Does the whole public become involved? People who bank there yes but everyone??? I doubt that. Courts are set up for this. It is legal and normal to have happen. Henry Ford went bankrupt twice before he finally figured out to stop making racing cars and build something people would buy.

Enforcement.

It would have to be a small bank to have to up interest rates on one loan.

Depends upon the scale.

Public expense? How? Does the whole public become involved? People who bank there yes but everyone??? I doubt that.

Oh really? The S&L debacle escapes your recall? How about the 2007 bailout? Sarbanes Oxley "too big to fail"?

Good grief.
