U.S. Presidential Race--Who should win? (Page 32) davidk14: . Eventually. Hillary will be in the WH for 8 years and then would try to find a way to be crowned emperor. .  ghostgeek: Both of the candidates are a little long in the tooth, so maybe they'll both drop down dead before the election. I doubt that the world would miss either of them. davidk14: . I cringed when Bush got up to the microphone to speak off the tele-prompter. That shit eatin grin while leaning on the podium make him appear like a backwoods freak. Trump makes me cringe after just a few seconds. His message is clear and reasonable. However, I'd rather cringe than have a proven coward, liar and a person that has no morals like Hillary as President. .  chronology: Ghost, a lot of people love Hillary. I know David is not among them, but millions do love Hillary and think she is ' a smart cookie, and just a fine woman and a really great person ' . David has never spoken well of any Democrat that I know of. But hey, America is the last home of free speech.  sheperd1_1: after handing out immunity deals to hillarys' aides the F.B.I.(under comeys' orders) sweetened the cover-up by destroying the aides laptops after they 'reviewed' them---Hillarys' corruptness has infected Obama,the justice dept.,and the f.b.i. all guilty of obstruction of justice---what a country!Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely  briansmythe: I thought Hilary sounds more like katlen Jenner , Whats wrong with that family even kim got robed of her jewels sheperd1_1: give Hillary to the U.K.--Ghost likes corruption-Hillary can follow Ghosts' boy scamerons' ways sheperd1_1: Ghost----glad you admitted you are biased above---nobody cares,but it shows you have no objectivity for facts and that you,like a career politician twist the facts to meet your agenda.as for you sticking your 2 fingers up your ass,it won't fit with your big head up there.ghost go out and get a job and get off welfare. ghostgeek: Must we really be objective where Trump is concerned? Well, OK then, here are a few facts about the old codger: The office of the New York attorney general, Eric T. Schneiderman, has issued a “notice of violation” to Donald J. Trump’s foundation, ordering it to immediately stop soliciting charitable donations in the state. The letter, which was sent on Friday and released on Monday morning by Mr. Schneiderman’s office, said its charities bureau had determined that the Donald J. Trump Foundation had been fund-raising in New York this year when it was not registered to do so under state law. [ http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/04/us/politics/trump-foundation-money.html?_r=0 ] In a direct challenge to his claim to be a successful businessman and a champion of America’s hard-working middle class, the anonymously leaked tax returns reveal how Trump used aggressive accounting tactics and the failure of several businesses to claim a loss of $916m in his 1995 personal filing. Independent experts say under US rules, this could be large enough to legally shelter hundreds of millions in income from years of federal tax – despite Trump’s high-rolling lifestyle and criticism of others for avoiding tax. Trump did not deny the damning conclusions drawn by the New York Times, which first received the filing in a manila envelope said to have been sent from inside Trump Tower. But he threatened to sue the newspaper for what he insisted was “illegally obtained” material. [ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/oct/02/donald-trump-income-tax-returns-published ] Documents show that the Trump company spent a minimum of $68,000 for its 1998 foray into Cuba at a time when the corporate expenditure of even a penny in the Caribbean country was prohibited without U.S. government approval. But the company did not spend the money directly. Instead, with Trump’s knowledge, executives funneled the cash for the Cuba trip through an American consulting firm called Seven Arrows Investment and Development Corporation. Once the business consultants traveled to the island and incurred the expenses for the venture, Seven Arrows instructed senior officers with Trump’s company—then called Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts—how to make it appear legal by linking it after-the-fact to a charitable effort. The dirt: The Boston Globe’s Matt Viser reports on the mess of the American Dream pageant in 1992. After years of attending beauty pageants—Trump seems to have always enjoyed the company of beautiful, scantily clad women—he decided he wanted to get in on the business himself, meeting with George Houraney and Jill Harth, a couple that ran the American Dream pageant. It was an ill-fated effort. Harth and Houraney alleged that Trump started making passes at her almost immediately. On one occasion, Trump allegedly asked them to bring some models to a party. Harth alleges Trump groped her at the party. In a limo afterward, another model said she heard him say that “all women are bimbos” and most “gold diggers.” Trump reportedly joined another model in bed, uninvited, late at night.

His personal brand was trading higher than ever while some of his most prized business ventures were tanking. Having launched him into a new strata of fame, his NBC prime-time show The Apprentice was preparing to premiere a second season while his latest book titled Trump: How To Get Rich had placed his name once again on the New York Times best-seller list. "Just four days after Trump's casino interest announced it would file for bankruptcy, Newsweek reported that Trump would lend his name to a new fashion business." As he reveled in the spotlight, the real estate empire on which he had built his reputation was foundering. That same month, his casino business declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy after a series of more nimble entrants had rushed into Atlantic City to steal the thunder from Trump's offerings, according to the Washington Post. Saddled with nearly $2 billion in debt, Trump's casino interest, known as Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, had seen its stock value plummet from $35.50 to just 40 cents in a matter of years. Yet the performance of his casino business wouldn't slow the rising star of Trump, whose celebrity profile meant that he could increasingly rely on selling licenses to his name instead of building functional enterprises. Within the next year, Trump would leverage his name-brand status to launch a series of new ventures that had little to do with his troubled real estate holdings. These would include Trump University, which offered get-rich-quick seminars that dubiously promised to impart Trump's perceived business acumen to students. [ http://www.racked.com/2016/10/5/13165868/donald-trump-china-factories-neckties ] ghostgeek: If news cycles were driven by issues of import, rather than what’s new, Trump University, the scandal-plagued learning annex which promised to teach its students Donald Trump’s secrets of how to get rich in real estate, would never leave the front pages and home pages of American media outlets. As I noted in a June post that was based on court documents, even some of Trump University’s own employees regarded it as giant ripoff. The idea that the proprietor, and principal promoter, of such an enterprise could end up in the Oval Office is absurd on its face. [ http://www.newyorker.com/news/john-cassidy/trump-university-the-scandal-that-wont-go-away ] ghostgeek: Ah yes, Trump's wall. Not quite what it's cracked up to be: Trump explained that he intended to build a wall along the Mexican border and noted that the stretch is roughly 2,000 miles long. He noted that we would only need about a thousand miles or so because of already-existing “natural barriers.” These “natural barriers,” however, entail everything from roaring rivers to tiny streams that can hardly serve as a deterrent to illegal immigration. Shortly after Trump’s comments, Brandon Darby of Breitbart Texas began noting that the “natural barriers” about which Trump spoke are hardly formidable obstacles.
