purr4mance: if you would have invested in trump hotel and casinos, you would have lost 90 cents on the dollar. trump was in charge of these companies and ran them into the ground before creditors had to step in and force him into bankruptcy. Net losses of $13 million in 1995 ballooned to $134 million by 1999, and $191 million in 2004. Not even his chosen accounting firm, arthur andersen (of enron fame), could have hidden all the red ink. in total, from 1995 through 2004, the company booked total losses of $647 million.
and while stock holders were losing money guess what trump was doing, taking money out by the millions as his salary. that's not being a hero, more like acting a thief...

Could you give some references to Trump's brilliant business achievements?
Well...they do not check his record out...just rely on his flash...so to speak...Bill Maher and guest speaker Gloria of woman's liberation spoke of Trump being less than proficient in regards to his wealth...in short...he is a careless wonder...

Donald Trump ran the worst performing casino company on the stock market. This isn’t a matter of “opinion.” This isn’t speculation or politics. It’s a matter of plain fact.
However, one person associated with Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts did make money:
Donald J. Trump.
A review of the company’s public filings show that over that period, while his ordinary investors were getting hosed, Trump himself was siphoning millions out of Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts through salary, “bonuses” — yes, really — and cozy “service agreements” or side deals with his private corporations.

scary to think what he would do with our 16 trillion of debt.
Let’s look at the bright side of the Republican primary contest so far:
The Republican establishment, which set the rules for how the 2016 primaries would be conducted, have been utterly defeated. There’s no way they can win. One by one, its candidates have been defeated. One still standing, John Kasich, has been mathematically eliminated from any chance of winning the nomination on the first ballot. He just can’t count, or has some other reason for remaining in the race. The two front-runners are anti-establishment – and either is well-positioned to win the general election in November.

trump will get slaughtered if put up against hillary.
if the gop stands any chance of winning the white house this cycle, they will have to nominate paul ryan. although he says he wants no part of running for the presidency, remember he said he didn't want to be speaker of the house either???

so you will be happy having the Benghazi butcher running your country.
Coming back from town, I am checking this thread waiting for biased negative comments. So I'm not disappointed! You make the posts complete!
Let's wait and see. Political analysts say Hiliary Clinton might win in a landslide. You see, people are not happy with Trump's confidence or arrogance but he practices positive thinking. Loved by his supporters, he's a self made man, did not enrich himself in government offices and he survived bankruptcies because banks trusted his drive! He got loans and have thrived. He may have business failures but at least, he did not get kickbacks or funds from the peoples' money. Bill Maher was sued by Trump, normal for him to hate the guy. Anyway, Larry King and other celebrities support him. Watch Best Donald Trump Video Ever. Americans with dignity who want a cleaner administration and less corruption, believe in him making the country great. Not many self made billionaires will get involved in politics. He's hated by the press, the media may be manufacturing lies, searching for sensational news and feeding crap about him to the public (broadcasts & print media can be paid , owned by his rivals), but he cannot just be destroyed or stopped. We need prosperity and security. He's good for America and the world.
In fact the GOP already spent millions to put him down and still he prevails with people power! They cannot continue with their old ways AND THEY ARE ALL AFRAID of Trump future revelations.... he's like a trumpet of truth! No matter what you say, the voice of the people will prevail!

Benghazi ? How many deaths can be attributed to the Republican Presidents-gabinet as well?
Have you forgotten the mess and the cost in millions of lives that the Presidents and their team (Republicans and Democrats) have inflicted to many countries "fighting" communism and terrorism?
Not that any of them is correct. Although, can you asses the right size of the damage in each case?

he survived bankruptcies because he gave controlling interests to his bond holders.
