Should be, but isn’t. I wonder if Trump shook hands with the persons who ended up not being paid because of his bankruptcies (though he himself had plenty of money).
I don’t trust politicians or wheeler-dealer businessmen (whichever way you wish to classify him). I go by their records, and with great trepidation try to anticipate what they’ll do in the future. I enjoyed some of Trump’s digs at the beginning of the campaign — and the way he shook up the establishment and the media — but neither his character nor his intelligence has ever impressed me. How so many persons can put so much hope in him I cannot understand.
4 bankruptcies out of hundreds of high risk deals is a success eaten of about 97%. Pretty phenomenal.
Did Cruz have 97% of his bills passed? They didn’t even get to the Senate floor.
