We have this as fact it's already happened, while you are speaking of a hypothetical future situation where he might chose to take on these special interests like Koch and Goldman Sachs?..
Its not hypothetical. Trump PROMISES us he will nominate Scalia clones for the Supreme Court. Who was Scalia? A man who loved big money in politics and fought hard to ensure that the donor class had no restrictions on legalized bribery.

Trump is of course funded by Wall Street big wigs like Robert Mercer, billionaires like Sheldon Adelson and countless other members of the donor class, so thats not an argument really. He doesnt "self-fund", thats a marketing gimmick.

But far more important is what Trump PROMISES us he will do. Trillions in fresh money for the donor class through tax cuts to be used for bribery as all restrictions are lifted on bribery through his supreme court picks. This is HORRENDOUS for the 99.9%. We are looking at decades of politics where the people who are not members of the donor class will have effectively zero influence on public policy.

Trump, on the other hand, has impoverished those who trustingly worked for him by failing to pay them what they earned, while taking out multiple bankruptcies for his multiple failed businesses, a ploy which resulted in financial benefits for himself. As a multi-billionaire, he could well afford to make his past debts good - yet he ignores and denies them, despite the clear public record.

He also discriminated against non-white would-be renters seeking accommodation in his cheap-jack apartment complexes in the NYC area, while favoring white tenants.

Yet you refuse to educate yourself and keep spouting the Trump mantra...
hillary clinton is a career criminal who has done nothing for over 30 years in politics.. You need to face reality...
she talks as good game, no substance or facts follow her words, just like corrupt obama. big talk, no action.. Well, should I say, no action for the good of the people.. they do quite well for themselves...
You need to educate yourself and not just spout off talking points...

By nominating Justice Scalia clones for the Supreme Court who have long been a firm supporter of opening all restrictions on legalized bribery in politics.

Why regular, salt of the earth Americans support this is beyond me. It would mean decades of effectively zero influence on public policy for the 99%.

You want an end to corrupt practices and want change, and yet you are voting for someone who promises the donor class trillions of dollars in tax cuts to be used as bribe money in the political system where all restrictions will be lifted with a new Trump Supreme Court. GOP Supreme Court justices have long been vehemently against any restrictions on bribe money in politics.
They are called deplorables for a reason.

He is going to use the Presidency for his own pockets in a much worse way than Hillary (or any President) has ever done...he will actually put our country at risk. He will make ISIS stronger, not weaker. He WILL BE A DISASTER. But yeah, Hillary had some email issues...so.
And yet I have heard out of the mouths of people who work in investments and finances to not buy the house we are renting because they are seeing trends of the market failing again.

For some reason (in my opinion) if Hillary gets elected and everything keeps coming out Kaine will end up being president. It's all right there and we are just seeing the beginning.

The lack of corruption used to differentiate us from other countries but now if Hillary is elected it will all be a joke , we will be just like those corrupt countries in Asia and the Middle East and other parts of the world .
He brings them in from other countries. The people that he hires here he doesn't pay.
