<<<<...."Trump's experience in building things, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs, is his proven record"....>>>>

Trumps record as a businessman, which has to be central to establishing his qualifications because in fact it's essentially really all that he has.....and that is not the string of brilliant successes he'd have people believe....though he certainly knows well how to put his own twists to the facts....and there were plenty of jobs lost along the way.

Here's a few...

....His Taj Mahal resort in Atlantic City, funded largely with junk bonds, went into bankruptcy.

....His Trump Plaza Hotel was forced into Chapter 11 in the early 1990s, when his personal and business debt had grown to more than $4 billion.

....His forced sales of prime New York property and restructured deals by his creditors to keep himself barely afloat.

....In 2009, 'after' his resurgence, Trump Entertainment Resorts filed for Chapter 11, the 'second time' his casino properties had done so.

....He was sued by Deutsche Bank for defaulting on a $40 million loan for the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago.

....His failed ownership of the New Jersey Generals was noteworthy enough to become the subject of a damning ESPN documentary, "Small Potatoes."

....Not to mention the Trump Shuttle planes that lost money for three years before being merged into nonexistence in 1992.

Added to this is his Hollywood set of values and three marriages....I'll just stay with Cruz Jane...however... ....The reason Trump might be elected plays out like Obama's election as I see it.... the masses are "attracted" to the kind of rhetoric Trump dishes out for it appeals to their 'emotions' in how the country is today...but they are not inclined 'to study his record' dispassionately.

I want the best we have and I don't see any other than Cruz who has been years at the fore front fighting against Washingtons corruption and powers taken from the people and abused......he knows who they are, where they hide, and how they manipulate everything in Washington.....Trumps going in totally green....and there will be landmines waiting for him he''ll have no clue about.

OMG. Really?

Hate to think you would ever fall down. Am sure you would never get back up. Criticize Trump over his submitted tax plan, Criticize Trump over his submitted immigration plan, etc, etc.

A businessman with a vast empire have failures? Thats standard. Come on. By that standard, the greatest athletes should never play again, the greates actors should retire for all the times they failed. By your standard this country should only be in the hands of Professional Politicians. Yeah thats the answer.

BTW I am a huge supporter of Cruz. Plenty of great arguments to be made for Cruz without getting in the gutter with the libtards.

And also, I know its terrible, but great "leaders" and visionaries attract large masses of people.
