Here's the question I have asked at least three times now on this board and not a single cult member will respond.

Trump is, by his own admission, a billionaire. Why can't he open a manufacturing facility here in the States and show everyone how it can be done? He has the means, and supposedly he believes it's how we "Make America Great Again," so why doesn't he do it? Just imagine the goodwill and great press that would bring for him.

And yet, all he does is talk...
It is called fiduciary duty, look it up.

Here's a question for Trump cultists, oops I mean supporters. If Hillary Clinton can be blamed for NAFTA, a law that was enacted when she was First Lady, does this mean I can blame Laura Bush for the terrible Iraq War in 2003 that destabilized the entire Middle East. Can I also blame Mary Todd Lincoln for the outbreak of the Civil War?


Just curious how much blame we can place on the First Ladies for the decisions that their husbands made.

There is absolutely no fiduciary duty on the part of the Board if Trump is the sole owner.

Usually, before they run an ad, they'll have run them by test audiences. Same as a lot of regular commercial ads.

The right ads with the right timing do result in voter swings, as nearly as we can tell. You run polls both before and after the ad. These are in-house polls, you'll never see them in the news.

Of course Clinton is trying to widen the gap in Ohio.

The difference with Trump and Hillary, is that Trump wants to change the trade deals, and make it much more advantageous to produce things here in the USA, while Hillary calls the TPP, the "Gold Standard" of trade deals.

At one time in my life I worked in advertising, and there is a saying in advertising. "All advertising works, but some is just better than others." Even the ads we hate to watch on TV get us talking about the product. We may never buy it, but we know about it.

If the experts didn't think it was doing any good to run these political ads, they wouldn't be spending their money on them.

It's more like if these "experts" didn't think the voting public in America was as dumb as a box of rocks they wouldn't be spending the money.

Trump is a nominee of a major political party. Some of us are dumb as box of rocks.
