Re: 2020 Democrat Challengers Part II: There Can Be Only One

Come on, what great business hasn’t been gifted 450M and lost a few billion.

Well if he lost ~$250M per year, you don't pay taxes on negative income.

He has, as all the well off do, the advantage of employing legions of tax lawyers and accountants to take advantage of every i and t in the Tax Code. For that, don't blame tD and the rest of the filthy rich. Blame their hired guns in Congre$$.

And, you can lose $$$ on paper and still have a positive cash flow. It's called depreciation. On large buildings, that can be huge.

Well when people like Donald are funding those who give them tax breaks and hiring these guns we can blame them too ;)

Yeah, the article addressed that. Doesn't come close to accounting for his losses.

He's a cheat, an incompetent, and a POS. Stop tying yourself to him by offering excuses. And FFS stop voting for him and his Nazi party.

Oops. Sorry. Tax Returns are no big deal. Fake news. All real estate guys in the '80's did it for "sport". Sorry for the false alarm everyone.

Question: is the vitriol directed at tD because of who he is or the job performance?

How about how it proves AGAIN that the people getting all the tax cuts never paid any in the first place? Start there and work your way up.

I like you, man, but you don't know a thing about it. Go out and fundraise or canvas or something. Nobody's hiring you as a strategist.

I remember Kepler predicting a Trump win when nobody else did! I just can't find the link. Maybe you'd care to help out? :D

We're all speculating dude. Try not to take it all so seriously.

Puleeze. I hate to break this to you but except for the people I know personally you're all just here for my amusement and not much else. Occasionally someone will bring up a good point or a good article, but really to me you're all like talking furniture. Funny to see but not to be taken seriously :D

As I've often said, Chump's Presidency hasn't affected me negatively one bit and I've been the beneficiary of his idiotic tax cuts both directly and indirectly. Yet I'm still at the forefront of telling everyone that the entire GOP is an unredeemable treasonous money laundering cult. That makes me some sort of hero I guess. ;)

If he wasn't an awful human being he might have a better chance at selling his less than stellar job performance.

The consequences of his and his party's actions on human beings.

Trump will probably be a 2-term President.


Excuse me while I go scrub myself clean after making that horrifying statement. I really hope I'm just being a pessimist, but by this time in 2016 it was clear to me that Trump was going to be the next President. I think he's getting a second term.

This question has always been stupid. The vitriol was never, ever about who he is. It was always, ALWAYS about his actions. He spent years pushing a debunked conspiracy theory about a photo-shopped birth certificate in a transparently racist attempt to discredit President Obama. (Of course, part of what made it transparently racist was the years he spent pushing for the execution of the legally exonerated Central Park 5.) Since then, the vitriol has gotten stronger and stronger, but always because he has said and done dumber, more dangerous, more hurtful, and more dishonest things. I don't understand how anyone can honeslty think it might be spite over who he is. Ignorance, bastardry, blindness, and massive self-delusion are the only reasons I can come up iwth why any person in this country still supports that walking piece of human filth.
