I have less respect for someone that can't keep it in his pants and makes a mockery of the Presidency - or someone wielding his golden pen because people don't want to play with him due to his I'm right - you're wrong attitude.

I think you all have to look in the mirror at your party and candidates before you call anyone out. But again - my party is not the party it was 20-30 years ago - instead of accepting and respecting differences of opinion - you're always on the attack.

Sure, it's good for the business filing. I worked for a small company that was a vendor of a very large entity that filed for bankruptcy. The small company lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid invoices--a significant amount of money for a small business--and never recovered. The large entity reorganized and, as you said, makes more today than they did before. Their executives never lost a moment's sleep because it simply didn't affect them personally. Unlike the few dozen or so of us who lost our jobs as a result.

Trump did this four times, leaving in his wake a number of vendors who provided goods and services to his business for which they were never paid. Many, I'm sure, suffered great hardship or went out of business as a result, with, no doubt, some jobs lost.

But hey, as long as Trump came out fine on the other end, with no personal consequences, it's all good, right? Not very ethical, but who cares about that? It's all within the law, after all. It is, as you insist, good business.

I have never once heard Trump express any remorse to his unpaid creditors or for the people his many bankruptcies harmed, have you? I doubt the great and mighty Donald Trump ever gave any of them a second thought.

I suspect he regrets playing footsy with Ted Cruz earlier in the race. Cruz is a viper and Trump didn't catch on until it was too late.

Don't know what you're talking about, but I would say the same about anyone that has to file bankruptcy! Not a person I would trust in business, for damn sure!

He has the versatility to meet people at their own level, from the those at the bottom of the food chain to those at the top, thus the appeal.
I guess he who would be Commander in Chief can now meet former POWs on what he has called their level: LOSER!, eh?
