Too bad the big vitamin establishment kept the Trump Network from truly saving the economy.

people are trying to make a big deal over Trump showing up under a prop tax deduction list for those making under $500K in income. I'm sure that is just accounting tricks and aggressive deduction taking by his accountants, not sure he is worth the $10B he sometimes brags about but he definitely would qualify for the 1%.
First Trump's $10b figure includes the value he puts on his brand, as in he views it as a tangible asset.
Second, math bro...that would be about $30 per person.
"Many many people denounce trump because of the backlash that comes with actually liking him."
No way Trump is worth 10 billion. Id say 1 billion or a little more. It wouldnt surprise me to see an income tax return showing he, personally, made less than $500k in a year. Id imagine the vast majority of his expenditures are incurred by his privately held business.
Haha
If he was running on the Democratic Party ticket, all you would need to do is
- Call everyone a racist, bigot, sexist, xenophobe
- Claim anyone wanting to protect borders is a racist
- Blame white people for every failure
- Claim Republicans are causing global warming
- Promise a ton of "free" crap with someone else's money
- Make sure no one is held accountable from your own party nor launch any criticism of anyone that isn't white
- Continue to make everyone feel like they're being oppressed and claim the person who opposes them is "Hitler."
That's the ticket to win right there.
Yes sorry if people are too stupid to thing past the obvious:
He is a racist, screw him! Blacks Browns and yella's will all be sent home and never allowed to set foot in white Americans!
I mean it is fun to watch the media run with the BS but come on are people really buying it?
I didn't vote in '08 or in '12. But for white people it was cool to be the white people voting for Obama. I'm serious it was "cool" yet people pretend age, race, attractiveness etc don't play a factor? Yea right it doesn't.
In '08 personally I was drawn into Obama honestly but wasn't moved enough to vote. By '12 I wouldn't have voted for him at all, but I sure as hell wasn't voting for Mitt either!
Hell now that I think about it I've voted for president once in my whole life and that was for W because I can't stand John Kerry.

At my voting record!
The importance of today's Michigan primary cannot be understated.
Illinois, Florida, and Ohio all vote a week from today and all are winner-take-all, meaning that momentum coming out of Michigan will be incredibly important. Illinois, though, isn't getting the attention it deserves. Not only is Trump clinging to a single-digit lead there, but also the other three candidates are neck and neck. Plus, it's an open primary, meaning that Democratic and strategic Republican voters could push one of the other three ahead enough to keep Trump away from that massive wad of delegates at stake. Couple all of that drama with the closed nature of Florida's primary (where Trump already has an essentially insurmountable lead) and the horse race that is Ohio....the Ides of March is going to be a massive watershed moment for this election.

Or just call the people who are actually bigots, bigots. That works too.
Wondering what heinous crime LEK has committed that makes it necessary for him to compensate by running around pointing out the racists on message boards with such gusto. Matter of fact my mental picture of him is William Dafoe in Mississippi Burning.
If Kasich has really jumped 11 pts then that shows where all of the Jeb and Carson votes have gone.
If Kasich were to make the greatest of all time comebacks...I would most likely vote for the guy. He's the only one of the bunch (Repubs & Dems) that doesn't require me to hold my nose while I vote. Otherwise I'll probably be joining the folks voting Libertarian.
the issue is that each of those candidates is drawing from multiple blocs.
If Kasich drops out, his vote splits between Rubio and the Democratic primary
If Rubio drops out, his vote splits to Cruz and Kasich
If Cruz drops out, his vote splits between Rubio and Trump
If Trump drops out, hell freezes and all of his voters stay home, vote for Cruz, or vote for a Democrat
Trump would be the best bet to beat Hillary. Maybe Trump/Rubio ticket, you know they like talking about their P size.
Plus as VP Rubio would get some much needed experience and bring more women votes.
Cruz would just alienate any undecided moderates and women (outside the Bible Belt).
Fixed to illustrate the counterpoint that any message in a political pissing match can easily be contorted to fit the opposite point of view, especially if the rhetoric is as over-the-top as yours was.
I don't believe these things, but I just thought I'd get a little "fair and balanced" when it came to political stereotypes.
Ditto, there's no question I'm liberal. I like to think of myself as rational and realistic, which aren't exclusive to the amorphous voting demographic termed 'moderate'.
"Come on, Rubio. Kasich would've won Michigan if you'd dropped out!"
since apparently that logic was sound in South Carolina.
Trump killed it! And though 38% to 25% is close it really wasn't! I mean he has 70K more votes than 2nd place.
Meanwhile Bernie is holding on by 8K overall!
Trump won't win OH over Kasich but other than that it's over! The only debate left is how willing is the GOP to really show their ass!

Trump won today? At what point do you give in and let this guy roll.
Rubio honestly might not make it to April, at this rate. This is insane.
