Stranger, you DO realize that GWB also had failed business ventures? Check out
http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/stories/1999/05/13/president.2000/jackson.bush/Look I am not judging GWB OR Trump. Compared to Hitlery, any peccadillo they or any other politician running today is nothing. Absolutely nothing. And, I like to judge people on where they are NOW, not where they were 5 or 10 years ago. I used to be a Democrat, long time ago, back when it was more like today's RINO contingent. Truth is, I've always been a libertarian at heart, as has been Trump imho, and there really has never BEEN a party for the likes of us that had a prayer of succeeding in electing their candidate to office. I couldn't BEGIN to tell you how many people over the years, decades, have commiserated with me, that there isn't anyone out there who reflects our distaste for injecting heavy doses of religiosity into the body politic (and equal measure of disdain for those who would stomp out any sincere and well meaning hint of the same in EVERY public venue), a distrust of professional politicians who have everything to gain and nothing to sacrifice by living off the public teat, a respect bordering on reverence for the founding principles of our nation and a loathing for those seeking to overturn the rule of law based upon their own narrow political agenda (ILLEGAL CRIMINAL BORDER CROSSERS) and a definite reverence for our Constitution and our Bill of Rights.
Once I carried a child under my heart for nine months (nothing you could understand totally if you never experienced it) I COULD NEVER AGAIN consider it a CHOICE. Maybe that makes me a flip flopping bitch, but since I became pregnant at 25 for the first time, I'm going to give myself a break. I thank God every day that I didn't commit the crime of taking my baby's life so lightly that I could have ended hers, and all the women I've spoken to over the years who have had abortions did bitterly regret it.
To me, Trump embodies the libertarian and entrepreneurial spirit of those who made America into the great light among nations that she is, despite the vigorous efforts of all the disgusting low creatures who comprise the Demonic Party and their media lackeys to gnaw away at her foundations with their vicious rat teeth and their putrid lies.
Proof that the MSM, including FOX, is out to get Trump no matter what can be discerned, very easily, in their coverage of his slippage to second place in the Iowa polls. No doubt, Dr. Carson's more in your face religious fervor is attractive to evangelical conservatives, but it certainly will FAIL to attract the general electorate. Mourn the reality or not, most Americans are Christian of course, but the greatest number of them, while devout, look for more than a Preacher in Chief.
And, I would think that after 8 years of the would be Imam in Chief up there we're all ready to move on to a president who can lead us back into economic independence.
Yes, Trump contributed to both parties for a long time. He's a very rich, influential man, and the fact that most of his detractors can't even touch him when it comes to wealth ought to be of some comfort to the rest of us who are accustomed to watching the blatant and subtle influence exerted upon bought and paid for political hacks by Trump's fellow billionaires. Besides, he himself proclaimed he had played both sides of the aisle with contributions. Do we really want some whore like Hitlary who is beholden to the Chinese, Saudis, Iranians and other unsavoury characters, all the while dodging and evading any notion of actually disclosing her donor list? Even the "good guys" on our side, well, who knows how their gratitude to their campaign contributors would play out in their putative administrations?
