A man you can bait with a Tweet

If you ever wondered when Trump stopped watching CNN ... this proves never. Doesn't get under his skin a bit either. Not one bit.

Think he obsesses much?

I love it. Seriously, if he's posting about it that much you gotta figure he thinks about it ALL the time, and probably bores all around him with it 24/7. It's the think his kids roll their eyes at when he starts talking. He's gonna be a nightmare as he ages and loses his memory.

Are you sure this hasn't happened already? He seems to not remember everything he has said in the past.

Pot calling kettle.

Thanks - for some reason my internet is "a loser" today. Trump would hate that.

People criticizing Trump over losing a bunch of money one year and using legal deductions on his taxes so he doesn't have to pay any obviously don't know anything about business... Or success.

A billion (in 1995 dollars) is a lot for someone who is optimistically worth three. If only the IRS would let him set the record straight and stop auditing him so that he may release those tax returns.

And if we want to talk about successful businessmen perhaps we shouldn't examine someone who may have made less than the average return of the market over the years.

All power to him for taking advantage, but Trump didn't overcome his failures and get to where he is today with incredible managerial skills, policy acumen, or academic expertise.

He had a good amount of luck, is exceptional at self-promotion, and catapulted to his heights at the considerable expense of many others. Some would consider his plain lack of interest in social responsibility disqualifying. At the least it is distasteful.

That pretty much sums up Hillary Clinton, too.

You can try to discredit business success with your insecurity and lack of understanding, but one does not simply luck their way into a multi billion dollar real estate empire. Sorry, just didn't happen.

I disagree, MLB. Whatever you may feel about the Democratic platform, Hillary has been a dedicated and prepared policy person her whole life. And whatever you may feel about the quality of her efforts, her record is plainly that of someone who's doggedly pursued social welfare initiatives. Not that there's nothing to criticize there, from either side of the political spectrum.

There's a reason why Trump exploded onto the political scene out of nowhere. And why Clinton was so obviously a top candidate for the Dem nomination as to be seen as a boring, staid choice.

Aloha -- you can be impressed by Trump's record, but it is what it is.

No it doesn't.

Before this began, I did not know that there was enough anger, fear, resentment, and racial animus to propel someone like Trump to a nomination. I mean, there's certainly other factors to his success as well, but to claim that any of those have not been primary drivers of his entire campaign is to be incorrect.

The fact that there IS enough of those feelings in our country to sustain support for him and his campaign worries me a bit for the future. I wish we'd all just get back to viewing each other as Americans who want the best for all of us, rather than better or worse as viewed through some type of political prism.

 

[zoogs]

I mean, to get beyond generalities. Hillary's campaign website is enormously detailed, by any measure.

https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/

For example: https://www.hillaryclinton.com/briefing/factsheets/2016/08/29/hillary-clintons-comprehensive-agenda-on-mental-health/

* Support the creation of high-quality, comprehensive community health centers in every state. A 2014 law established a demonstration program in eight states, under which new benefits would be available to health centers certified by the federal government as Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs). To be a CCBHC, a clinic must provide a range of physical and mental health services, including emergency psychiatric care, treatment for mental health and substance use disorders, and peer support. In return, the clinic can receive reimbursement at rates similar to those received by federally-qualified health centers. Hillary will invest $5 billion over the next ten years to scale up this demonstration project and help bring it to every state in America. This will vastly expand community-based treatment, by enabling thousands of health centers across the country (i.e., FQHCs, CMHCs, etc.) to upgrade to an integrated center.

In terms of policy literacy, there's no comparison. But in either case, you can go and read about their positions -- and then, you can go read the analysis from various circles about these.

If we were voting exclusively on personality, I can see how there's an open question here. But we aren't. We're voting one ticket or the other to the highest office in the land, and they will at least attempt to use that administrative power in the ways they have stated. (Obviously, not everything can be accomplished). If you fashion yourself an issues voter, then vote like one!

Sure it does. Of course, you could say the same about all politicians.

My "understanding" is that other than the fact that he's plastered his name on multiple buildings and says he's successful we don't really know if he is or not. As more comes out about him it seems he's not as successful as some thought.

And as far as I can tell, nobody here is insecure. Don't belittle people.

Oh please......

He's a lying cheating scum bag in the business world....and a complete fraud as a politician. I personally know contractors in NYC that he has cheated out of money and comes out the other end smelling like a rose to the public. He's been sued by minorities for housing practices. He's been sued by other employees for simply not paying them. That isn't being a genius business man...that's being a scum bag.

And...the act they are trying to portray of him being some genius because he used losses carried forward for tax purposes.....spare me......any two bit accountant out of college knows about losses carried forward and knows how to use them. Any business many who has ever been in business for any length of time has used them.

That isn't anyone being "insecure" or "lack of understanding".

They guy says whatever he can to get his followers all lathered up and then denies saying things when actually pressed about it.
