I think this will happen. I also predict that Trump won't be the problem after this is done - it will be Cruz.
Sweet Jesus.
Experience in the private sector is a better indicator than experience in government. IMO
How many times does someone need to declare bankruptcy before they are qualified to run the most powerful nation on earth?
Well you are dead wrong on all these points, and time will bear that out. We can't have open borders Tim, and it's incredibly naive for someone as well-read as you to believe in something like this. And your free-trade mantra is so at odds with your other positions that touch on human rights and fair treatment of people. Personally I find it repulsive that you think it is ok to have Mexican migrants or Chinese workers receive slave wages, and have American workers be unemployed as a result, just so we can all save a few cents on consumer goods.
I am for free trade, primarily, because it's the only way to liberate people from the slave wages you just described.
Idiotic argument. It really is. Businessmen like Trump use the various bankruptcy laws as just another arrow in their quiver of tools in building long-term wealth. Trump is a huge success by any standard, in business and in life.
That sound you hear is a few people updating their notebooks. This goes in right next to ironic, the nightmare , and who tweeted that.
I'm trying to determine the difference between Hillary's "superpredator" comment on black youth and Trump's comments on Mexicans and muslims.
What's more idiotic: Calling out a businessman for using bankruptcy as a legit business tool, or thinking a smart businessman is qualified to run a damn nation?
It's not though. It further locks them in to slave wages. The way out is to negotiate trade deals that require these despotic governments to raise the standards of working conditions, implement similar product quality measures, and have a minimum wage. This has the combined effect of making it a truly even playing field (i.e. - real free trade), protecting US workers, and raising the standards in countries like China and Mexico so that millions of workers there aren't abused.
That's about the answer I'd expect.
I know it makes you feel better to think that Trump is dumb, that he just lucked into his wealth. It obviously means a lot to you to believe that. So have at it. I really don't care, and far be it for me to disrupt a worldview that helps you get through the night.
I have a couple problems with the TPP, and I'm not sure it's even equatable with Nafta and other trade deals. One thing that gets me is it provides payments and subsidies for workers who are put out of work because of the bill. Putting people out of work is a feature. I want the US government to be honest about how many and who will be put out of work before proceeding, or that should have been done before it was passed.
#### that. People being out of work isn't a line item in a ledger. These are human beings, our neighbors. I don't care if they are subsidized for it either. We have enough welfare junkies in the country. People need to work. It's vital not only to their own health, but the health of the country.
There's a long way between dumb and incredibly smart. I know it's easier to change the subject and condescend rather than actually respond, but I never said he's dumb.
We're apparently never going to care about that. We have people that claim they want all that to stop, until there is money being poured into things that can help them, then it's OK.

You're welcome to your opinion, but history does not agree with you, and neither do most voters.
He's pro life and pro choice! He's the candidate the whole family can agree on!
It also shows the real Rhode Island as "red" (representing a state that he didn't win) when it should be blue (representing an upcoming primary).
People are selfish. Many knowingly voted to keep corrupt politicians in office because they could bring money (pork) to their states.
Just watch the few who bring up your nightmare post, or say ironic as a response to me, or the who tweeted that response to squistion...the same few who then complain about trolling so often.Don't fully understand this but I'm glad you enjoy my stuff.
I can't fathom this statement, with the job having so many complexities. Economic policy, education, health care, immigration, trade deals, terrorism, Israel, all the unique relationships with all of our allies and foes, negotiating with congress to advance an agenda (which involves listening, compromise and mutual respect BTW), dealing with natural disasters, consoling people after tragedies, and on and on. So many hats to wear, often in the same day. Private sector experience is useful with some of this for sure, but I'm concerned about a guy who's been so wrong, or contradictory, or ignorant on many of these issues. And thinks he's the smartest person in the world and doesn't need any advisors. Arrogance and ignorance is a pretty awful combo.
Being bad in geography is something that many Americans will identify with.
You enjoy it yet whine like a school girl about trolling despite the fact you've admitted to trolling yourself.
Im making a joke about what I knew would happen.
She's not completely brain dead. There actually is a backstory about soccer balls and teddy bears - http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/07/19/everything-you-need-to-know-about-mercury-ones-border-relief-effort-today-with-live-updates/
But then, Trump could be acting dumb to win more conservative votes.you don't say.
So when she rants about those stupid liberals giving illegal immigrants soccer balls and teddy bears, she means Glenn Beck? That makes me feel better.
If you tout his business experience as an asset for the presidency, you have to recognize that one of his favorite tools isn't available to the president.
