Inherited millions, bankrupted twice anyway, and can't make $ in NYC real estate...

[elehhhhna]

Yeah. Sounds like a great candidate for the republicans.

[Squeech]

1. Of course

The Republican Party's real slogan:

"Do what I say, not what I do!"

[Deep13]

2. Lost money on his own casino.

Trump is basically GW Bush except Trump has less intellect, articulation and integrity.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

3. More Than That

I think he's declared bankruptcy at least 5 times.

[Hestia]

5. I thought it was more than 5 times...

[Renew Deal]

6. 4 times

And it was a way for him to get rid of his debt. At 4 times, it starts to become an abuse of the system.

10. But it's not personal bankruptcy. Each entity is a corporation and some of those went

bankrupt. On more than one of those he he put up some personal property as collateral and lost that, but I don't think he ever went personally bankrupt.

He arranged so that he'd be OK , no matter what.

12. Six Of One, Half A Dozen Of Another

If he's going to try to seize some higher ground by claiming to be a brilliant businessman, he'll have to explain how he managed to run those businesses into the ground.

As for whether or not he ever declared PERSONAL bankruptcy is completely irrelevant. He's being judged on his ability to run a business. His businesses tanked. How can he claim that his business experience makes him better able to run an economy? His business experience is terrible.

Bush was a terrible businessman, and caused the ruin of several companies too. Look how well he handled the economy.

4. Show us your draft card, Donald

I wonder what the merits of this question are?

I don't think he went to Viet Nam or even served at all. Wasn't he of draft age at the time of the Viet Nam war?

I'm just too lazy to google, but the question of "What did you do during the Viet Nam War?" is extremely legitimate to ask of a potential Commander in Chief.

Yet he and his lunacy are taken seriously

by the media. I have to keep checking to make sure I'm not living in a padded room...

[Egnever]

7. He is a distraction

Put up to keep you looking the other way while the real nefarious stuff is going on in the background. Wasting time and effort paying attention to what this clown is doing is silly, though probably entertaining in a train wreck sort of way.

He will not be president and he knows it.

[FirstLight]

8. ding!ding!ding!

...and whoever can actually listen to this blowhard deserves to be distracted...funny how the media are SOOOO enamored, isn't it?

[rustydog]

9. The media is not enamored, they are doing their job.

Distracting the lazy and ignorant voter.

[Uben]

11. He must be "The One" !!

Using George Bush as a model for the republican party (their choice, not mine), mr. trump would be the logical choice. Rich, white, anglo, who never did anything for anyone other than himself except lose their money.
