Sanders seems honest, if I lived in Sweden I would vote for him.
Hey madbach, can you provide some substance to this or are you typing more maddening liberal things?

Sure, ignore his wide base of support that cuts across all demographics, income levels, education (drop outs to PHD's) and bury your head in the sand. Next thing you know it's President Trump

Its called making a deal happen. Cross the isle and make deals. This is what Trump does, he makes deals happen, often times placing those much more experienced or skilled then him to carry it out. Mix it up with your opponents. In contrast I believe this was Obama's big failure. Its something that both parties disliked about him. It's a skill required in our form of government.

Blake, I want a Republican in office who will protect our constitutional rights and appoint a Supreme Court justice like Scalia or Thomas to the bench. While I share the passion of Trump supporters, I'm afraid that some of Trump's rhetoric will alienate the middle of the road voters.

For example: Any private equity or venture capital firm or frankly any real estate firm that does a good volume of deals will in fact have a roster of losing deals. This is a fact. Any entrepreneur would tell you they learn far more from deals gone bad than good. Your also pointing out steaks/vodka that are licensing arrangements that use his name. The entire industry of casinos in Atlantic City have failed and there have been some very successful companies unable to make things work there.

All I'm saying is that legit concerns about the guy get lost in the white noise of all the spurious attacks.
Trump inherited 200 Million in properties from his father, so he had quite a head start as far as that goes.

And NO, Trump Vodka, Trump water and Trump steaks were Trump owned companies that produced and sold these products. They were not a result of licensing deals.

A list of everything Donald Trump runs that has his name on it - Quartz

Trump Ice LLC
Trump Ice Inc
Trump Marks Fine Foods LLC
Trump Marks Fine Foods Member Corp
Trump Drinks Israel Holdings LLC
Trump Drinks Israel Holdings Member Corp
Trump Drinks Israel LLC
Trump Drinks Israel Member Corp


These are the Trump entities that manufactured and distributed Trump Vodka, Trump Ice and Trump Steaks before they failed.

^There should be a list of companies and products he sued to take his name off of due to bankruptcies:

I'm with ya too. I'm about to leave my house to go vote for Trump. Looks like he is going to win my state based on the recent polls.
