    It kinda reaffirms the notion that these people aren't voting for Trump because of 'failing economic polices' and 'lost manufacturing jobs'(most of which is due to STRUCTURAL unemployment btw). They are voting out of racial/cultural beliefs. It's not that they are idiots. Many of them I'm sure are, but many of them also try to hide their 'deplorable' beliefs with their fake outrage about 'lost manufacturing jobs'.

    Trump-the-politician is a walking contradiction like any other politician. The greatest example is his view of the Federal Reserve's decision to not raise interest rates. Trump says the Fed needs to raise interest rates and is not doing so in order to protect Obama. Now ask yourself, would a self-professed "king of debt" really want the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates?

    One point that Trump has said, repeatedly, still holds true: this is all legal because people like him can buy influence.

    You'd like to think so... More likely they hate Hillary. Race is a very small factor in the majority of decisions made on this planet.

    Probably, but you can't deny the xenophobia is strong this election cycle as the GOP has been stoking that fire for sometime.

    Lol! You think the GOP is stoking a xenophobia fire?

    The only party that benefits from maintaining racial divide is the Dems.

    No, you don't understand. Posters like okierock believe the only type of racism is when someone explicitly states "I hate [insert group of people]".

    Actually, you probably do understand and I'm just stating the obvious.

    Oh I know. It's embarrassingly obvious which party is using xenophobia in order to get support.

    Yes, the narrative that every other entity (Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims etc) are the reason for the country's failings and the poor middle class white christian family is being burdened by these poor criminal terroristic entities is a narrative that the Dems have been pushing.

    Amazing mental gymnastics.

    Are they explaining how rich billionaires are being stiffled by taxes to the point where they can have an effective rate of a toddler's and turn around and b**** about how these tax burdens are killing job growth? It's a message that will fly with America's middle class I dare to say.

    The idea that if rich people have more money, they are more likely to spend it to create more jobs is the same as saying a morbidly obese kid is more likely to share his pizza if we give him more pizza.

    Ask yourself how that narrative benefits the republicans? Are you a part of one of those groups and do you believe that narrative?

    The liberal media is doing its job very well.

    You make debating easy. It benefits the GOP because FEAR is a powerful voter turnout mechanism. The fear that your white middle class 'Leave it to Beaver' bubble is about to burst because of an invasion and entitlement of illegal Mexicans, terrorist loving Muslims and violent blacks is what is driving many of these voters to vote for Trump.

    There is no debate, you are the poster child for proof that the media has won.

    You are right. There is absolutely no debate which political party is using xenophobia to get votes.

    Like I said, crack is whack and 1 + 1 does not equal banana. Seek the treatment for your issues.

    No. It was a failure. If it saved him more money in the span by allowing him not to pay any taxes though then the failure and subsequent application of exemption were a blessing in disguise and smart respectively.

    There's a strong possibility it wasn't all his money. Lots of companies, even big ones bleed money and have had to restructure. It's not a god thing but it happens solely for the fact that there is always risk in any venture and it tends to be larger the more ambitious you are. Success in business is factored by both preparation and luck.

    The ultimate question as to whether or not it was a big failure is if the business went bust. Trump didn't go bust. He's still incredibly rich. His failure on the gambling and casino business didn't bleed into his real estate and other business.

    The Clinton campaign spin on this is just incredibly dishonest if not an outright attempt to disinform. What are they complaining about exactly? Are they complaining that Trump lost 1B? That's part of the game and he didnlt go bust over it. Then they're complaining he's potentially not paid taxes over it? It's a provision in the law. You can't have it both ways.

    You people need to get some real business education.
