Time the false credit Trump gets for business success is punctured. The many in depth analyses show his main skill is using government and other people's money to profit, Not risking his own. 4 major bankruptcies, and he's flush while tax payers and small investors lost betting on him. Perfect profile the Right Wing claims fits Dems?? Not even keeping up with the Fortune 500 and far behind the real financial success stories of recent years: http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-vs-other-billionaires-2015-8
I see the motivated illegal immigrants as beginning entrepreneurs, as concerned with legality as any Wall Street operator, "Don't Get Caught" the operative principle. That the current economic distress in Mexico and Latin America is as much due to the failed War On Drugs, America's insatiable drug hunger and the exploitative globalization typified by NAFTA and it's distortion of all the America's economies in favor of large corporations, that is much the responsibility of the US, is totally ignored. How someone eager to use Eminent Domain for private profit gets supported by erstwhile supporters of property rights and freedom from government overreach is bizarre. Nobody Reads? and accepts whatever Fox News presents as Truth??
It's not Fox News. Trump doesn't get along well with them either. Does Megyn Kelly ring a bell? Honestly, I can't think of a news outlet he DOES get along with. Conservative or liberal. Which is actually part of his appeal. Jorge Ramos' stunt only boosted Trump's credibility.
Trump is having success because he's bold and brash. Not because he's conservative, smart or even successful. The country is disgusted by the politico-media complex and Trump is a large, red-headed middle finger pointed at the cesspool on the Potomac (and the media). Unfortunately, that's all he is. There's no other substance to his campaign. Honestly, it's basically Obama's campaign only with a different set of people pissed off at him.
My hope is that someone with a clue develops Trump's backbone and he fades back into his reality-tv world.
A big part of Trumps appeal is that he will shove Obamas open borders madness up Obamas and the Democrats and the Republicans collective ass
If he just does that he is miles ahead of every other candidate when it comes to doing the job that the general population wants done. Every other pol has lied to us about curbing deficits or changing the tone in Washington, blah blah blah forever
Both parties
Trump is an outsider who has potential to shake things up. Not more of the same. Rattle some cages, spark some meaningful conversations. SHOW SOME FUCKING SPINE, even if you arent always right.
Thats his appeal
Except he just won't. He's got no actual plan backing up his promises. Just vague assurances that he'll get 'the best people' to fix it for him.
I appreciate his spine, and his willingness to tell the media and Washington and anyone who's PC to get stuffed. And yes, cages need rattled and meaningful conversation needs sparked. He's useful in the campaign for that purpose, and I don't want him out of the race for a while yet.
But if he really wants to be president, he needs to start talking rationally about about HOW he's going to keep his promises. He's just not doing that.
