Iâve been thinking about the whole âpresidentialâ thing, and quite honestly, I think this kind of thing is whatâs helping him; I mean, sure, he most definitely has a core group of fans who actually agree with his racist, xenophobic, woman-hating rabble-rousing. But I think thereâs huge numbers of centrist/conservative Americans who donât follow the news very closely and just glance at USA Today headlines or watch a few minutes of MSNBC every once in awhile, and for those people, Trumpâs a refreshing change because heâs wacky and entertaining. He doesnât act like a President. He certainly doesnât act like the cool, smoothly even-tempered guy whoâs been in charge for the last eight years (plus that guyâs black and might be a Muslim). So for tons of people, I think Trump is their âhey, why not?â candidate. Their âwell, heâll be entertaining!â candidate.

It was a bad bet for the republican party, and the other republican contestants, not to go negative against Trump earlier. That said, that will leave plenty of fresh snow for the Democratic nominee.

Fresh snow, did you say?

Report: A.C. jobs, housing in downward spiral
Job loss is the new normal, the labor force is in âfree fall,â and the housing market is âmoribund,â according to a report released last week by the South Jersey Economic Review, published by the William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy at Stockton University.
Driving many of the problems, of course, is the instability of the casino industry, which anchors the local economy. Four of the cityâs 12 casinos closed in 2014, and some 8,000 people lost their jobs.
Is this is who you want, @galaxies, a man who brags about fleecing thousands of blue-collar construction workers and ruining a state economy?
Trump is a fast-talking New York con man who canât wait to fuck over working people in any and every state.

It really blows my mind how people claim how good of a business man Trump is. I will concede that he is great at marketing himself, but if you actually look at how well he runs companies I donât know if âgood businessmanâ should be the lable people use.
He has intentionally gone into bankruptcy to avoid paying what he owes, he clearly doesnât give a shit about working class people, straight up lied to the public and doubles down even with verifiable proof that he lied,and an ego so massive Iâm kind of surprised the earth hasnât imploded into itself.
If that is what constitutes a âgood businessmanâ and a majority of people think the government should be run like a business by someone like him, then we deserve everything that is coming.

Not defending the practice but declaring bankruptcy to discharge business debts is very common.

Oh I understand it is a common practice, but it doesnât mean it isnât shitty. If people back out of debt, they can have their wage garnished. A business does it and it is considered a good business move.

Perfect word.
I think it may be important to clarify which rificulous cartoon character Trump resembles most closely in appearance and/or character.
Barney Rubble? Thereâs the color of his hair ⌠hungry for approval. Politics from the stone age, barefoot wife who is too good for him, no black friends âŚ

Yes, though Biff from Back to the Future evokes the cowardly, greedy bullying Biff Tanner.

Also Bill Paxtonâs bullying big brother Chet character in Weird Science ⌠Having Trump for a president wouldnât actually be categorically different than having Chet as your big brother.
Maybe any Bill Paxton character?

Yes, but not serially. Itâs his go-to whenever things become tough, because he doesnât actually know how to run a business correctly.

Heâs just a Trumped-up con-man. A greasy huckster.

Presuming he wanted to run a business correctly. One could argue he used major construction projects to feed money to corrupt construction companies, and then used bankruptcy (among other tools) to stick someone else with the tab.
