How did Trump treat his hotel and casino employees? I'm surprised there hasn't been any news articles on this topic. Who were his top hires? What kind of people were they? These will be good indicators of what kind of people he will have as advisors and the work and labor policies that will be put in place if he does become president.

Don't worry - the media will eventually get around to this after they finish their research on what Trump may or may not have said about Mexicans at a 1987 business meeting.

Smile Rubio Is A Liar For His Puppet Masters

And that makes him highly qualified to the be the premier choice of the GOP establishment. Let's see how quickly they shift away from their stumbling "favorite", Jeb.

This campaign season is providing entertainment on a number of levels.

Old Gringo approved!

Most of us will agree it is rare to find unbiased journalism from any view. Perhaps, instead of pointing out the evils of the mainstream press, you might want to share what you know about Trump's business life that would make him a great leader of this country.

They trained them for 90 days. Severance was 10 percent of their annual base pay. Granted I'm sure they would want to stay in their jobs but I have little sympathy for them knowing that.
^Unbelievable!

Try to put yourself in their shoes.

It's not easy for Americans to find STEM/IT jobs unless they are in an area with a huge number of them. Not only that but so many Indians who came here on H1-Bs then later got green cards are now in a position to hire. What they do is to blatantly discriminate against non-Indians.

If you were about to lose your job and were in an area where such jobs were scarce, why would you just up and quit all the while knowing that it would take time to find work again? In that situation, you would be foolish to not hang on longer and get some severance pay.

Perhaps you should take the time to do some googling and learn the full details.

10% of annual salary is less than 6 weeks of severance. Given that most of these people probably did not find similar paying jobs, that's nothing.

If there was dirt on that you would have heard it already from any one of the Republican campaigns or their super PACs.

"A new Economist/YouGov poll finds Republican front-runner Donald Trump leading rivals Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Ben Carson by double digits in hypothetical, head-to-head, primary match-ups. The New York billionaire would defeat Rubio and Cruz by the same margin of 57 percent to 43 percent, and would defeat Carson by a margin of 60 to 40 percent, according to the poll. The finding is a blow to the hopes of some Republican elites who argue that Trump's stubborn lead in the race will dissipate once the field winnows and a more mainstream alternative rises."

Poll: Trump Beats Rubio, Cruz, Carson in Head-to-Head Contests - Bloomberg Politics

In the summer, people were on vacation and too busy to pay attention.
In the beginning of the Fall, they were to busy getting their kids off to school to pay attention.
Around now and in December, they're too busy with the holidays to pay attention.
In January, they'll be too busy a) getting over their New Years Eve hangover, b) Waiting for their W-2s to show up, c) shoveling snow, d) celebrating MLK Day (pick one) to pay attention.

On Feb. 2 (Groundhog Day) we'll find out that it was too frigid for Iowans to caucus the day before but just wait until New Hampshire votes. Then people will pay attention.
