Quote:Frankly that's just beneath you.  

 

1.) I respect Carly Fiorina as much as you do.  The plain fact of the matter is that she got it wrong when she made the deal with APPLE to host the I-pod.  just like Steve Jobs got it wrong with the LISA, and the CUBE, just like XEROX got it wrong dumping the OS that would later become windows, just like Thomas Edison got it wrong with the first 9,999 ittirations of the incandescent light bulb.  

 

The support for Trump is based on the fact that he is a very good business man, not that he's perfect because no one is or has been.  Ray krock was teetering on the verge of bankruptcy a handful of times.  

 

As he has correctly stated, he has a company that has physical real estate assets that are some of the best and most recognizable in the world.  He has dealt with deals on the international stage and has real time experience dealing with China japan etc. etc. etc.  He also has access to a team of private sector talent that no candidate will have.  That's a singular skill set that can't be denied simply by throwing up a handful of deals that didn't work out in the face of a multi billion dollar corporation.  

 

2.) With all due respect, the idea that Trump University is less Nefarious than the running of the Clinton Foundation while She sat as secretary of state is a little silly.  Trump Mortgage vs. the repeal of Glass Stegal that lead to the crux of the derivative crisis that turned the capitalist system into a blue screen?  She's still being underwritten by the banks that made billions betting against both sides and when the machine broke just got more coins from the taxpayers.  Frank Raines was the head of their OMB for crying out loud.  Go look him up and tell me if that holds a candle to a Real estate Seminar.  

 

First off... how is my comment "beneath me"?

 

When it comes to Carly Fiorina, it's been proven and talked about many times that in hindsight, she was actually right in her decisions.

 

Donald Trump's "deals" are not created or done by Donald Trump.  You said so yourself.  However, he does put his name on them and takes credit for the deals that make money.  Why doesn't he do the same with the failed deals?  Starting Trump Mortgage in 2006 was a "good deal" because in his view (paraphrasing) "real estate is a good investment for the long term"?  How did that work out since the company failed less than two years later?  Add to the fact that they were part of the problem.  Loaning money to people that THEY KNEW could not afford it, then sell the debt on the market.

 

Yes that was a "good deal" in that he was able to make money.  The real details about how he did so aren't as pretty.

 

If you're going to try to defend "Trump University", then please stop.  It was not in fact a "university" it was a seminar that people paid for in order to learn his "real secrets to real estate investing"....  only if they pay a "small fee".  In other words... it was a scam.  He supposedly "hand picked the 'instructors'", yet there is evidence that he was not personally involved with the "company".

 

Keep believing what he says because after all, he will say what is necessary to get elected.  It doesn't matter if it's the truth or not (sounds similar to somebody that rhymes with Hillary Clinton).

 

You don't hear a lot about this right now, but if he gets the nomination and the general election starts up, you will see a lot more of this.
