Most businesses crash and burn in the second generation.
The kids of the founder are usually spoiled, arrogant, and feel entitled to rule.
Their employees usually hate them, there is high turnover, sabotage, theft, etc.
This is systemic and very hard to avoid.
My advice to rich old business founders.
Help the economy and sell your business to people who will be able to run it successfully.
Then you can give your heirs as much money as you wish.
If these cable networks want ratings they should invite average citizens in to wrestle their commentators—two people enter, one person leaves! :-)
OAN
The libs must be very conflicted. Generally they push for early voting because it makes cheating so much easier. Now this happens and suddenly they hate the early voting.
Wendy’s employees have said this about Dave Thomas’ daughter — spoiled, arrogant, entitled — and that she’s a b!tch on wheels.
I don’t see that attitude in Trump’s kids, though. He had them working when they were little kids.
As long as we keep as many Dems out of power as possible America wins & Montana won tonight. I just wish I understood how these elections are even close.
My President is the embodiment of the American masculinity we’ve been missing for so long.
Nice one, the Dems won’t have that money to spend somewhere else and their donors will get burnt out. The smarter donors will realize they need to speed up their game & find ways of winning at the new game in town, MAGA.
With 98% of precincts in, Gianforte’s lead is 6.1% The only precints still out are in overwhelmingly Democrat Glacier County (got to be an Indian reservation), and my estimate is that Gianforte will end up with 50.1% and a 5.8% victory margin.
If Gianforte won the early vote by over 10% (as appears likely from polling), then he lost to that freak Quist among votes cast on election day itself. That doesn’t necessarily mean that Gianforte would have lost had everyone voted yesterday (perhaps the last-day vote was skewed towards Democrats), but it’s clear that body-slamming and beating up a reporter, whether or not he deserved it, is not a wise thing for a candidate to do on the day prior to the election. So, no, the incident with the reporter didn’t help Gianforte (even in Montana); and it’s also clear that Montana voters did not reject the agenda of President Trump and the GOP Congress.
The events leading up to yesterday’s election, and the election-day vote favoring a candidate who was trounced in early voting, actually could be a blessing in disguise for conservatives. Hopefully, the narrative that “Montanans wouldn’t have voted for Gianforte for Congress had they voted after his assault of a reporter” will lead to a national reconsideration of the abomination that are early voting and mail-in elections. We should have a single Election Day, with everyone voting with the same set of facts before them. It is ridiculous that some people vote in early October and others in early November for the same election; who knows how many people voted for Hillary when her e-mails scandal had long before been swept under the rug, and it almost got her elected. And early voting and mail-in voting are much harder to police against voter fraud than having a single day of in-person voting (with limited exceptions for absentee voting by mail, which I would require be postmarked on Election Day).
While I’m happy that early voting actually helped us for once, let’s not waste this “crisis” (as Rahm Emanuel would say). We need to body-slam early voting and mail-in voting and send them out for the count. If liberal moonbats want to rally around Gianforte’s election to go back to a single Election Day, by all means let’s help them do it. After we have done that, we can go after those other abominations: Motor Voter Law registration and same-day registration.
So while I wrote that long post, the rest of Glacier County came in. There were fewer votes out than I had estimated, and they actually leaned Republican (in contrast to the heavily Democrat votes that had been reported out if Glacier County as of early this morning. So the final result is Gianforte with 50.2% and Quist with 44.1%, for a victory margin of 6.1% (the same as this morning).

LOL
The Democrats always want to change the rules when they don’t work in their favor.
Then after a while there will be a wide variety of new liberal causes that come into favor and they forget about their old fervor about the rules.
These days a news cycle barely lasts a week, sometimes just a day.
Liberal concern over “early voting” won’t make it past Memorial Day!
:-D
Wanted to thank you and the others for posting results last night. Between this and Pittsburgh winning, it was a late but good night.
I had to turn in last night.
But got up at 2 a.m. to see the good news.
Thanks for the updates.
I fear that you may be right. But we need to encourage those who wave the bloody shirt of “the stolen election” and get thise laws changed, starting with Montana.
Miles City! Custer County, Haynes Avenue. America at it’s finest.
You said it! Real men, Real women, dogs are dogs, cats are cats and cattle are for good eating!!
I’m off today, raining outside, so I am chuckling at reading all the libtard-rage on Twitter. They still don’t get it - they still think that their violence against the right is A-OK. (And a Nazi is anyone they don’t like)
I wish we could send a team of fighters, bruisers and brawlers to Washington.
The Leftists resort to slander and intimidation, while McConnell and Ryan talk about comity and tradition.
The only thing comity produces is lifetime sinecure for McConnell and Ryan.
I detest the NYT as well but I also give credit when credit is due. On election night last November 8, they had the very best election results website. Even Drudge switched over to them as the night went on.
Around 9PM, when everybody here on Free Republic was hyperventilating and in full panic mode (like they were last night), the NYT website was already pointing to a Trump victory. The NEW YORK TIMES!
The predictive model they used (of projecting precincts based on a combination of real time voting and historical trends) had the needles in MI, WI, PA and IA well over on the Trump side by 10PM.
The NYT pretty much nailed it that night.
