But but why would you hate dumb obnoxious people like that?! They love America - just hate half the country and scam the other half!
They are NOT relevant to our discussion.
Trump ran scams, Romney ran a legit business.
And sorry to say, you are an economic philistine. More free money floating around? What? Money is made off volatility and even on absolute terms, percentage moves have been smaller. I feel sorry for you that you think you are some market genius while you talk like a waiter who got a tip on the 'booming stock market'.
1. I don't follow that when saying "you hate"! Why "hate half" is OK? Why "scam the other half" is OK?
Very confused!
2. Obviously the whole issue is a systemic problem. Trump, willingly or unwillingly, might be able to offer a good solution during his term(s) due to his role in GOP.
It's not impossible that If Trump can't this time, maybe another outsider like Trump who has had very much worldly experience , good or bad - doesn't matter, jumping in the GOP then certain required structural major changes could be carried out.
3. Looks like the GOP philosophically and politically wouldn't allow any major changes to be implemented / carried out by others, except small changes.
It seems the GOP itself won't do that, to avoid losing face/power. Hence, a third party candidate like Trump would be logically the only hope and an ideal person.
Perhaps both parties should support him, if any policy proposed is truly good for the country. lol

If everyone is entitled to have a projection, one might think the 10% primary turnout of combining conservative (pro-gun) and evangelical (pro-life) voters due to their strong willpower collectively would easily determine the future of the US possibly in the next 100 years, if not longer.
Unless certain fundamental changes structurally would be done! lol

And what good policy has he proposed exactly? All he does is watch Fox and Friends and whatever those braindead birds push, so what policy?
What does it matter if he was good at branding? If he was good at branding and he spun up 4 billion dollars, obviously he was a success in business, only a loser would argue about the way he did it.
Really, Liberals didnt attack Romneys record at Bain? Are you serious? The whole pitch about Romney was that one business after another failed under Romney, you pikers played exactly the same game back then.
Your right once again, i got no clue how to trade. You are brilliant.
Gotta agree 100% with this. The way the press has attacked EVERY Republican in the modern era is a big reason why Trump won. The attacks on Romney were especially bad. Nothing was left untouched...his record as gov of the most liberal state in the US...his family (tied hia dog to the roof of their station wagon, et...).
You leftists are so stupid. What do you think the end result was going to be when you attack good people simply because of their political views? Who do you think is going to fill that void? A saint?
1. Trump since election has been in the best position to make major changes. Hopefully he is a quick leaner for the good of the nation.
After missteps (like letting many experienced senior staff go. Using his family members in WH.) and miscalculations (like appointing inexperienced young personnel for senior positions. Too close to Russia before sitting inside WH.).
By now, many of the experienced businessmen who originally wanting to offer helps have gone from his many key committees. Otherwise, there was a good opportunity by then.
2. Perhaps during this shutdown period, he could change mindset overnight. Never know for sure! Nothing impossible!
Use and trust the best knowledgeable and experienced people could be the best policy, before coming up any other better then best ones.
Assign and delegate to them completely, except responsible to the results! (Too much watching TV or not is not an issue. Vision and decision are!)
Hoping the best will come, my friend! lol

Are you so in love that you're blind? It now looks like most of Trump's "success" is attributed to his father, and not only because of his contacts that helped smooth his earlier deals. That and his dealing with underworld types, probably to stave off financial ruin.

And that's your idealized version of "success?" If I had to guess, I'd say that Trump himself made most of his legitimate money from his reality TV show, which was falsely premised on his being a genuinely successful businessman.
Romney did leave a trail of corporate husks after Bain's LBOs, where long-standing going concerns were leveraged to the hilt with unsustainable debt, assets sold, and huge dividends declared and paid to Bain, leaving the companies vulnerable. Several of those companies then went under and people lost jobs while Bain flourished. It may be a profitable business model, but it is undeniably and particularly predatory. But wasn't he the guy whose message was that he knew how to create jobs because of his business success? Of course, all those people who lost good-paying manufacturing jobs when their companies folded could have applied to Staples, I suppose. Win-win, right?
There is no question that Romney was successful. But a good deal of the story isn't exactly pretty.

Trump is not my idealised version of success not by a long shot, neither is Romney, is your idealised version of success Soros? Whats the Difference? Thats what im getting at, i wouldnt attack Soros based on his business record just like i wouldnt attack either of the other 2, and yes i respect all 3 for what they accomplished in business. You think when Soros was shorting companies there isnt a wake of victims in his path? Thats the way business works in my mind, its not clean, like everything its survival of the fittest IMO.
Couldnt have said it better myself, if everyone who runs a business is to be judged by all of their least succesful/shady businesses then suddenly every single billionaire is an evil bastard.
Buffet who im sure we could all agree is the cleanest businessman, has shady dealings in his past, lots of them, if you think differently you are deluding yourself, you dont get to be worth billions without stomping on some people along the way.

At some point it just becomes repetitive to people who are tired of it, just like when everyone gets accused of being a racist, when the strategy is to make everyone look morally reprehensible, suddenly when someone who is actually "morally reprehensible" shows up its doesnt matter anymore because everyone has seen the playbook a million times.
