Trump Nation's Faded Boarding Pass
The American Thinker ^ | February 2, 2016 | Geoffrey P. Hunt

Posted on 02/02/2016 1:25:22 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

[snip]

".........Trump Nation is tired of failed transactions leaving only humiliation, disrespect, hardship, and despair. Trump Nation wants a transaction president.

Donald Trump knows transactions. Donald Trump advertises that he's not only a high stakes negotiator. Trump will save the nation in the grandest transaction yet.

It is that simple.

Just like Trump Airlines.

Recall Trump's promises in 1988 -- a lot more than a simple transaction in keeping the aging Eastern Airlines shuttle fleet flying. Trump promised luxury, convenience, style, personal touches, affinity to grandeur, and profitability.

Except for convenience, Trump delivered nothing else for which customers were willing to pay. The Trump Shuttle was a flaming financial wreck. Customers had already defected to upstart Pan Am. In desperation Trump trashed his rival, claiming Pam Am execs were losers, and Pan Am was unsafe. (Sound familiar?)

Soon enough, Donald Trump's transaction to transform the airline business was a bust. His most important transaction was confounding third party creditors in bailing out his personal guarantees.

Donald Trump's prefabricated brand is of the quintessential transactional leader. He's a master, even negotiating brilliant escape hatches when he fails.

Trump Airlines, perhaps Trump's boldest venture far removed from his core expertise, still displayed Trump's leitmotif -- engineering a brash makeover for an overvalued transaction to get into the airline game, unable to command the nuts-and-bolts knowhow needed to gain market share and stop bleeding margins, thus in desperation finally piloting a perilous landing, coaxed to the ground by Citibank controllers leaving the third party creditors, and employees, to find the exit row chutes, fending for themselves.".......

No, I don’t like you enough to make you a list. You have hated on Trump since the day he declared, so, do your own work - lazy bones. Maybe you could take some time off from scouring negative articles about Trump to find out what I’m talking about.

So now Megyn Kelly is the expert on Ted Cruz? She hates him as much as she hates Trump . Well, maybe not as much - but she’s a big lib.

Exactly! And that's why she went twisted the facts during the debate to help Rubio's chances. Then after the debate she did a 180 in the interview (that I gave you the link to).

Yesterday, Rush was left stuttering when a caller asked him how "honest" he thought Megyn Kelly was after she pulled that (attack Cruz's stand during the debate, then acknowledge afterward that he had been consistent and against amnesty).

That’s the exact crap that Candy Crowley pulled on Mitt Romney. Who do these twits think they are?

What the He** are you talking about? I know the lies he has told and so would you if you would do some research. You’re exposed for the lazy arse that you are - a Trump hater who spends her waking moments scouring for negative ads to post on here.

Trump has a long record of trampling over people on his way to a self-gratifying inner circle consisting of Trump the Magnificent. As just one example, back when he was building a casino on the Jersey shore, not only did he try to destroy the owner of a house occupying shoreline property he coveted, but when his ambitious project ran into trouble he filed for bankruptcy and left all of the little people-—contractors, suppliers, etc. holding the bag. Should this narcissist ride to triumph on the backs of millions of voters he’ll doubtless write them off as soon as he grows tired of them and/or sees them as impediments.

Your are of course correct. No one should be upset at the direction the country is going. The Marxist globalist running the nation (into the ground) have everything in control. We will just print our way out of our twenty trillion dollar debt. And all those nice people streaming across our southern border will only make the USA a better place to live. And all those tens of thousand of Muslim refugees being resettle here are much nicer than the rapefugees in Europe. I am just know I am going to like riding a bicycle after all the climate must be saved from CO2 pollution. Be happy! Women are just dying to get into the combat arms and yes a man marring a another man is a constitutionally protected right. There is absolutely no reason the be anything but happy.

Cruz will never ever beat Hillary or Saunders, we are screwed.

Iowa went for Obama in 2012... I do not see Cruz carrying Iowa in November. His dirty tricks and eligibility problems will plague him all the way to the convention. He was just stupid to mess with Dr. Carson.

Well put. The country sucks and is about to drive off the cliff. The political class and the moron voters got us here.

If amnesty passes this is the last election any of our vote will count in ever. It’ll be over for Republicans and America will slip into third world hell.

What does that record translate to votes in November? Obama carried Iowa in 2012.

I mean every word of it. Yes Trump has warts and at times acts foolishly. But he is an American patriot. He is putting his best interests second to the interests of the country. Cruz is running one of the nastiest most negative campaigns I have ever seen. I will never again vote for Cruz and I voted for him three times here in Texas when he ran for the Senate.

I’ll read, thanks. My main question is will he deport illegals not guilty of crimes (other than illegal entry)?

I do research Catsrus, that’s why I know that you’re toothless accusation (supported by your inability to produce a list) are just so much noise.

The stupid was strong in Iowa

That is what the Donald said too before the election.

Do us a favor and have Trump call the people in the other 49 states stupid too.

.. The stupid was strong in Iowa. And they still pick corn.
So much for the parade lap, time to start the race!
You are condemning Iowa because they did not vote for little donnie? You sound like your hero. I think you guys thought DT was going to win Iowa but he didn’t. You are going to be really surprised by NH. You do know Cruz beats DT head to head in NH don’t you? Do you think DT will work harder at GOTV? Guaranteed Cruz has that in place.

Trump should have retained the democrat moniker, it fits his ideals, history and vision. There is a lot to be said for honesty.

News: Obama is not running in 2016 and Hillary is in worse shape considering the ancient commie against her.

Thank you for bringing that up. If Trump had run in the Democratic Party primary, he would have given Hillary and Sanders a run for their money (of course he would have emphasized his liberal positions more openly).

I think you overlook what has happened under Obama.... hordes of his illegals have been planted all over this nation. And since they owe liberals, one of those things will be voting.

Cruz will have deal with reality.... does he love this country or does he believe he is entitled.. If he believes he is entitled these liberals will make darn sure that America knows he is not eligible to hold the office.... well, now, that is if he really is against open borders and amnesty.

Short term wins do not declare long term gains.

This presidential election is about OPEN BORDERS
