And Trump will do the same thing with “Clinton Foundation”.

Bankruptcies - Mark Twain, Henry Ford, Abraham Lincoln, Walt Disney.

divorces - Ronald Reagan, Rush Limbaugh, about half of the American people

fraudulent universities - “universities”? still an accusation

strip clubs - no knowledge on my part

wrestling impresario - a gag

beauty pageants - and your problem with that?

gambling casinos - don’t personally like them, but are legal

intimate of mafioso - accusation

prize fighting impresario - ?

failed football league - evidently first time in world history a business venture failed.

serial litigation - when you accrue 10 billion dollars, you will understand.

failed businesses - again, Trump is unique in that, to you.

serial lying - accusation

bombast, braggadocio, bullying - a lot of people think it is fighting spirit.

intimate relationship with Democrats - “intimate”?? You are confusing acquaintance with relationship.

financing of Democrats - his contributions equal out with both parties.

financing of rinos including Mitch McConnell and his ilk - repetition of above.

hiring illegals - Trump hires only his top people; his contractors hire illegals, just like they do in my home town.

lying about opposition to Iraq war - he is on video opposing it at a very early date.

lying about opposition to a Libya - ?

“Perhaps the most damning allegation of all, he causes his supporters to ape his worst characteristics by cheapening the debate and debasing discourse with phrases like:”

“with 5 minutes of observation” cannot be beat as a damning allegation.

you pulled the whole thing straight out of our (sic) ass

Excuse the typo, I meant “our of your ass”.

McD employees are paid for their hours at “Hamburger U” and they are indeed selected by the employment process. You cannot buy an admission to Hamburger U.

There are several lawsuits filed against Ted Cruz’ eligibility to be president too and millions of people think he is uneligible. Are these lawsuits legit? Must be.

He's a good snake oil salesmen and if he wins, America's been hoodwinked once again.

And this OpEd, posted to "Editorial" giving that information, just got dropped into the "Cheese" trash can and me bumped off the site (so that I have to sign back in again).

You can trust Trump. You really can. Have you thought about signing up for one of his classes?

HELL NO! I could teach his classes to stoops like you!

If anybody gets sucked into any get rich quick seminars, they deserve it. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I have no pity nor mercy for any twit that lost money on any scam and I've lost millions in the greatest scam of all time, the stock market.

It was my own decision to turn over the handling of much of my money to my "friends and brokers", so I have no pity on me, it's called...NEXT.

Cruz supports a VAT tax. Nonstarter for me. Everything else aside.

Trump reminds me of a Time Share Pimp! All Hype, no substance, manly lies and half truths.

I think twenty-one allegations which is my count of the allegations I listed would take up quite a lot of room probably more room than can be accommodated in anybody's ass except maybe Michele's whose ass is about as big as Nebraska.

No, I think with all those allegations you were right the first time it is "our" ass.

Wait! On the other hand now that I think about it Donald Trump has got a huge ass and perhaps all of these charges about Donald came out of his ass for which there is no doubt room for even the many unlisted allegations. Room for all these endless charges except perhaps not quite room enough for Donald Trump's ego.

“Cruz supports a VAT tax. Nonstarter for me. Everything else aside.”

That is as big a fib as “Cruz is for amnesty.”

I don't think it is strictly a value-added tax such as we have here in Europe which is an insidious tax but I take your point. A VAT uncoupled with real income tax reform would simply be an additional tax and a Democrats wet dream.

Of course, Ted Cruz proposes nothing of the sort, he wants real income tax reform.

Donald Trump wants to tax the wealthy and we know where that will lead - to a definition of the middle class as wealthy.

To use eminent domain to force a widow out of her home to make way for his casino parking lot.

Oh how silly of you to use this as an argument. Thought we all knew the truth of this fake story by now. You realize that Trump offered the woman a large amount of money for her home, right? She said no. Then, he offered her money and a home for life in one of his buildings. She said no.

Trump walked away. She lived in her home and it was not bulldozed.

RoflMAO> Call it a flat tax or a sales tax, it is still a VAT tax.

Had the identical experience in Las Vegas.

In exchange for some "free" gambling chips all we had to do was listen to a timeshare sales pitch.

We told them up front that we were not about to buy a timeshare and just wanted the $50.00 in chips. That was initially OK with them UNTIL at the end of their high pressure arm twisting they discovered that in spite of their tactics we really weren't going to buy anything. Then they all but threw us out of the building.
