Not for 40 years. That’s like maybe 2 times inflation.
I just mean for Trumps business strategies- if he’s a scammer and all of that, then who isn’t?
I read a lot of the newsfeeds for different companies I’ve invested in and have on my watchlist. The charges and lawsuits are endless. That is business in America. If you aren’t being sued, you aren’t trying hard enough.
I’m surprised that it is disagreeable that Trump is a good businessman.
It’s also surprising that the predictability of the market is disagreeable
-
No one knows what the market is going to do year after year.
-
No one knows when to pull money out.

You are looking at a complete picture. Looking forward 40 years from 1976 was just as unpredictable as looking to 2056, now.
Let’s agree to disagree on those two points.
Kasich’s a good guy? This Kasich:
Or the “gee, swell” get over your religion Kasich:
If this is the definition of a truly good guy it’s no wonder so many have acquiesced to Trump as a legitimate candidate.
The guy’s a delusional, narcissistic, Trump enabler with no clue what liberty means.
@pushharder where art thou.
In the last three elections the candidate leading on May 5 was the winner of the Presidential election. I would have thought that after your “great job” predicting the 2012 presidential election that you’d be more careful with your facts… I guess not.

If this Primary has taught us anything; it’s that Trump defies any previously used metrics.
Exactly “why” I’ll leave up to people a lot smarter than me to figure out; but certainly one has to be that measures are usually done “with a cross section of likely (GOP/DEM) voters”.
There is no “true” Trump Demographic. People have TRIED to make it just “angry White Males”; but he is crossing all socioeconomic, ethnic and gender groups.
What will be an interesting group to follow would be “Bernie Millennials” , and what direction they will go.
Otherwise; good luck in trying to predict the outcome of this election, folks…

One other thought, guys.
We know that both Hillary and Trump have the highest negatives of any prospective candidates since these things have been measured…there is no disputing that.
The question, then, is who will bring out the greatest VOTING opposition.
It’s one thing to disrupt a rally…it’s quite another to get your lazy ass up before work (if you work) to stand in line and Vote…
(…and yes…I know people too damn lazy and/or disinterested to even fill out a mail-in ballot…)
Even being a good business man is a far cry from the myth people believe of this super awesome executive who always makes the best decisions. If his rate of return (especially if you factor in his salary earnings which should be substantial) is well below the market average, a better description would be “not a failure” as a business man. And really, if you look at what is known, he’s done really good at real-estate and really bad at everything else. He has lots of experience and he might be pretty good with real estate, but if that’s the extent of it, he certainly isn’t the demigod of business that he claims to be.
And again, because he has the easy ability to prove his claims but refuses to for no rational reason, I’m going to assume he’s covering up something.
We need better analysis of the power of stupid people in large groups.
You’d better check all past Presidential elections in the modern era… It seems that it splits right on down the line about 50/50 from 6-8 months out.
Great point Mufasa. Where will the millions of disenfranchised Bernie voters go when they hand the nomination to Hillary?
That’s right Señor Fox, you will pay for that fucking wall.
As long as closet Dems and neocons like Boehner, Bush family, Ryan, McCain, Graham, McConnell, McCarthy, Issa, King, Hatch, et al have been running the show as the leaders of the GOP - what has that accomplished for conservatism or the continued prospects of this nation?
I won’t go through the list, but they basically have shortchanged the average Joe by letting 4-6 Dems Obama, Clinton, 3 bitches of California, and Reid move this country left in morals while the Reps sold out the mfg base and the lives of our kids to fight in endless wars.
So where is the loss?

I am seeing the name of Newt Gingrich being tossed around as a possible Trump VP, thoughts anyone ?
I think, possibly, he will hold off as long as possible from making a decision. This way, people can speculate and talk about him nonstop.
How about a ‘Love Trumps’ ticket?
