    Why wouldn't it? An ex president...from another party is voting for a democrat.

    When has that ever happened? This is not some random republican voting blue.
    Trump essentially eviscerated his son. It's perfectly understandable for him to vote for Trump's opponent.

    Trump in front of a microphone on national tv with millions watching; its not a matter of if he will up but when.
    eyup.

    He isn't going up against his primary rivals either.

    He will cram somewhat for the debate, but lacks the intellectual firepower to do more than a paragraph of monosyllables.

    His vastly more intelligent opponent will attempt to get him off script, and his lack of discipline will pull back the curtain on the vacuous paucity of his understanding of real issues.

    There is a rather long bit on political correctness there you probably agree with. Worth listening to.

    Yeah and instead of just putting it in a fund and sitting on his ass like a lazy piece of . He went out and built a brand, ac ulating wealth, power, opportunities, and connections you could only ever dream of. He has a global brand and has created jobs for thousands and thousands of people. Im pretty sure the outcome he has now is better than simply putting it in a trust fund. Get a grip.
    Not really, it is quite arguable that he would be wealthier without having done anything other than let someone else manage his starting hundred million or so.

    What Trump has said about real estate is that he prefers to use other people's money, i.e. borrow it.

    SO

    If he says he has billions in net worth, his ac ulated debt has to be on that order, likely several billion dollars.

    Are you comfortable with the president of the United States directly owing billions of dollars to foreign banks and creditors, like say, Russia or China?

    Trump used $258,000 from his charity to settle legal problems

    The use of money in four new cases appears to violate the laws that govern charities.

    Trump's Economic "Fixes" for Women Mean the Fix Is In

    Trump’s so-called economic fixes for the nation’s majority -- women -- were woefully lacking.

    His proposed slash of the top income-tax rate from 39.6% to 33% would definitely benefit upper-income female workers who earn more than $413,350 per year.

    But what of their lower-paid sisters, like the majority of minimum wage workers who happen to be adult women?

    No meat on that bone. These women already make so little they qualify for the
    Earned Income Tax Credit (and often have to rely on Medicaid and Food Stamps to get by) so they don’t pay income tax, making the cuts meaningless. But all workers get hit with payroll taxes (Social Security, Medicare, unemployment), regardless of how little they make.

    Trump’s plan ignores this inconvenient truth for females, still getting 78 cents on the dollar for full time work when compared to men.

    making child care a deductible instead of a credit as it is now hits middle income workers hardest. The present Child and Dependent Care Credit comes off your tax bill whether you itemize or not. Changing it to a deduction means if you don’t itemize, you don’t get the deduction.

    Ivanka Trump -- her father says she will be put in charge of child care reform -- could deduct the cost of a high-priced live-in nanny. But those with a child in family day care or cared for by grandparents could deduct a comparative pittance or nothing at all.

    His newly-minted maternity leave plan also has a hidden economic barb for women. Since it’s maternity leave only -- no benefit for new dads and nothing for taking care of sick family members -- it’s sexist on it’s face. But the deeper problem is how employers will view female workers if they’re of child-bearing age when there’s no comparable benefit for men.

    Better not promote her, she might get pregnant. For that matter, better hire the guy in the first place.


    No doubt about it -- Trump economic "fixes" for women only mean the fix is in.

    This Is The Authoritarian Mindset

    Look at this exchange caught by CBS's indefatigable Sopan Deb from the Michael Savage radio show.

    SAVAGE: Donald Trump is with us on the Savage Nation. Line 10. Donald Trump, you're the only one who can save us from this insanity. We need you Donald. You've got to become president.

    TRUMP: There's no question about it. It's horrible. What's going on is horrible. And Hillary Clinton was there. I mean, she was there. Now she's saying what she's going to do. What can she do? She was there and led to the weakness of our country. And it's disgraceful that she now talks about what she can do. She can do nothing.
    Like the Skittles nonsense, it's an embodiment of the Trump campaign: simultaneously hateful ugly and comical stupid. But look at the self-abasement.

    As President Obamasaid memorably in his convention speech, We Americans don't look to be ruled. But a lot of high-profile Trump supporters not only hunger to be ruled but their advocacy has incorporated this hunger to be ruled into its very vocabulary. It sounds dramatic to say this. But expression of support has been channeled into an abasement or even abandonment of the self.

    I've never heard Americans, even in late campaign partisan frenzies talk about candidates like this. And this isn't the only example. We're hearing many.

    On the one hand, this is simply comical.

    We need a weird haired Reality Show clown to rule us? It's the only way we can be saved?

    On the other hand, this is the subservient self-abasing mentality strongmen and authoritarian rulers cultivate and their followers adopt

    Trump's polling at 3% with all blacks and 2% against 18-30 blacks. It's not nearly the smoking gun you seem to be making it out as. Since Trump is apparently the savior of black people he is going to have to say something about the Tulsa shooting, and it's probably not going to turn out very well.

    Playing by different rules: The media lets Trump “get out of jail free” but won’t let Clinton “pass go”

    The press slams Clinton based on pre-2016 political standards, while Trump is judged on a much lower bar

    according to what we’re observing online and via cable news, Hillary Clinton’s negatives appear eons more grievous than Donald Trump’s missteps, even though they’re not — and this disparity unfairly elevates Trump and his poll numbers. This is how elections are tilted toward despots and undisciplined strongmen. They’re legitimized and humanized despite their long menu of unprecedented gaffes, lies and treachery.

    For some time now, I’ve been attempting to define the specific differences in the political press’ coverage of Clinton and the coverage of Trump. There are several underlying factors at work here. But the broad stroke imbalance is specifically due to the fact that the news media is evaluating Clinton based on pre-2016 political rules, while Trump has been operating under his all-new 2016 political rules. And the press has mostly sanctioned those rules.

    Put another way: Clinton’s triumphs and gaffes are being observed and reported through what we’ve all come to know as canon for presidential campaigns in the modern era. Candidates running for president, prior to the ascendance of Trump, have always been expected to do and say certain things in order to successfully participate.

    For example, candidates are expected release their tax returns. They’re expected to speak using a particularly even-keeled tone of voice.

    They’re expected to hold a few press conferences along the way. They’re expected to shift to a more centrist posture for the general election. They’re expected to behave in a way that won’t offend minorities and mainstream Americans alike.

    If they deviate from any of these rules (and there are many other rules and traditions) they’re pilloried by cable news talkers and political reporters who are career motivated to feed dramatic beef to the ratings beast.

    The media have given Trash $2B+ in free daily airtime because the media is nothing but a business, not journalism, chasing ad revenues.

    Trash has suggested TWICE that Hillary be assassinated, the press yawns.

    Same thing can b said about Hillary except she could also die at any moment.
    For what it's worth; if it were Tim Kaine against Trump, I don't think it would be particularly close. Trump is the most disliked Pres candidate in history and Kaine is popular among minorities already. I'd more than happily vote for Kaine instead of Hillary because Kaine was an excellent Gov in Virginia, and still much more qualified than Trump.

    They feel Trump is damaging their party.
    It's almost a self fulfilling prophecy; many minorities tend to thing the GOP is racist or has racist elements to it and then they up and nominate a racist with a 40 year track record of saying and doing racist things, who's racking up endorsements from white supremacists .

    Not a fan of the Bushes (GW, W, Jeb) or McCain and Romney but at least they have the balls to stick to their beliefs about their party and refuse to vote for him

    Why Donald Trump’s defense of his foreign entanglements is pure lunacy

    Confronted with the recent Newsweek cover story detailing numerous potential conflicts of interest between his foreign business dealings and American national security should he be elected,

    Trump and his children responded with a litany of nonsensical claims.

    There would be no conflicts, he said, because he would put his company, the Trump Organization, into a blind trust.

    Then he said he would sever his connections with the business.

    With both answers, though, he said his children would run the company.

    Then his daughter, Ivanka Trump, a fashion designer and former model, jumped in with her goofy explanation, saying she and her siblings would figure out how to avoid deals that might raise conflicts of interest for their father.

    Trump Organization ... the Trump name and, until he began his national campaign, the reality television show The Apprentice, for which Trump was host and executive producer.

    The global conflicts that could undermine national security are in Trump’s branding business.

    He has many overseas partners with undisclosed ties to factions within their governments; a troubling number of them are criminals or under indictment.

    All of them are paying, have paid or about to start paying millions of dollars to the Trump Organization for the privilege of putting his name on their buildings.


    So, if Trump gets into the White House, the president of the United States will be in a business deal with an Azerbaijani billionaire whose father is a prominent government official identified by American intelligence as a money launderer for the Iranian military.

    The Trump Organization’s partners in India would place America’s crucial but shaky alliance with Pakistan at risk.

    Relations between Trump and Turkey’s government are deteriorating in part because of his business connections there, and that country’s president has told people close to him that he will not allow a Trump-led America to use a military base that has been a critical staging area for the bombing campaign in Syria against the Islamic State group, known as ISIS.

    In other words, all these entanglements would imperil the national security of the United States.


    These conflicts cannot be resolved with the simpleminded solutions offered by the Trump family.

    Start with Trump’s “blind trust” argument.

    Politicians using a blind trust hand over their investment portfolios to independent third parties that make trades of stocks and bonds without seeking permission or informing the politician. As a result, the politician doesn’t know what is in the trading account, thus eliminating the danger that financial interests will influence governmental decisions.

    The lunacy of Trump’s argument is evident. If someone drops a huge curtain in front of Trump Tower, will Trump no longer know the building is there?
    And Trump already knows who his overseas partners are, so unless he suffers from an illness that cripples his memory, the conflicts will not be resolved just because those deals are in a blind trust.

    Another obvious problem here: It will be awfully difficult for Trump not to know what the Trump Organization is up to if, on a state visit to Russia, he sees “Trump Tower Moscow” on a high-rise there. Lastly, a blind trust is not blind unless the person managing it is independent of the owner, and Trump has said his children will manage the company if he wins in November.


    Trump says he will “sever” his relationship with the Trump Organization, and his children will be running the company and will be its primary financial beneficiaries. In a true blind trust, the beneficiary continues to receive the financial rewards of the investment. So will money keep flowing to Trump? He won’t say. And it doesn’t matter, because it is clear he could easily enrich his kids and “their” company from the Oval Office.
