    Watching the conservative/republican contingent of this country set aside reason, set aside history, set aside their guiding principles to support a person (even tepidly) who represents NOTHING other than endless tangled lip service and lies, empty promises, and outright falsehoods.

    I think the simplest question worth regarding is this: What do you believe? What a person says? Or what a person does?

    Trump has said nearly everything. Promised patently unachievable things. Occupied just about every position on most topics. Betrayed his understanding of the constitution repeatedly.

    Love, hate, or total ambivalence regarding Hillary, it was awesome to see her bring Trump to the world in *this* way. He deserves to answer for his greed, abject narcissism, and endless self-aggrandizement. He brings out the worst in all of us, and that alone should disqualify him from consideration.

    The Trump empire - billions earned, 55,000 americans gainfully employed.... same timeframe during which Hillary and Co squandered trillions, sent millions of jobs overseas and syphoned hundreds of billions into the pockets of their donors and lobbyists.

    I hope Trump can do for the country what he did for his business, cause the country definitely can't take 4 more years of what Hillary and Co have been doing to it.

    Yesterday, a friend of mine showed me a gift she had bought for a blowhard she knows, a purple necktie with the TRUMP® logo on the back above the requisite "Made in China."

    Perhaps the darling of neo-nazis and white supremacists can do for the People's Republic what he did for Atlantic City.

    Fascinating narrative you've chosen to accept given the raft of information that contradicts it. Set aside what Trump says and look at what the man has done, how he behaves. Divorce your feelings about Hillary and judge him on his merits rather than her liabilities; IF you're capable of doing so.

    Good luck.

    The state department "misplaced" $6 BILLION DOLLARS under Hillary. That's $6,000,000,000! But that fact seems to be lost on dems.

    Lol - do you not see the irony? Do you not see how just about every criticism you've made of Trump is made of Clinton? You could just swap Clinton and Trump in your OP and the post would make as much sense.

    Dude, you're the one accepting twisted narratives while I stated the big picture.... Did Trump have bumps in the road during his business career? You bet he did. Has he earned billions? No doubt. Is he employing 55,000 Americans? He absolutely is.... It's you who is twisting his performance as a businessman, not me. Checkmate pal.

    PS what are Hillary accomplishments in her 25 year long career in public service..... Wall Street paid $500,000 a speech fees of course... Anything else she has accomplished that I am not aware of?

    :roflol: Even someone on his payroll to tout his ill-perceived accomplishments would refrain form laying it on so thick...


    And those are just a few new additions to the already long list of Trump closeted skeletons and tons of corrupt baggage.

    BTW..where are his (*)(*)(*)(*)ing tax returns?

    This desperate nitpicking of bumps in the road, that absolutely every risk taking entrepreneur runs into during their career doesn't hide the fact that someone who has earned billions and is running a business empire which employs 55 ,000 Americans is a great business and entrepreneur.

    During the same time that he was building his business empire, Hillary was deeply and enthusiastically involved in racking up trillions in foreign debt, sending millions of middle class jobs overseas, increasing the gap between the rich and the rest to an astronomical size....with a nice payoff for herself of course.
