Donald Trump Won’t Self-Fund General-Election Campaign

LOL so you are saying that he has not gone bankrupt 4 times?

Trump Enterprise is a seperate entity from Donald Trump. I know the whole "corporations are people" combined with both having "Trump" in the name is a bit confusing for some Europeans but that's how it goes.
 
And Trump was born with a sliver spoon in his mouth. It is amazing that normal people who go bankrupt dont suddenly stay as rich as Trump.. but Trump managed it. Funny how the banks and companies he owed billions too suddenly became so compliant and yet when Mr Joe Public wants a bit of relief on his mortage then nooooo.

You are accusing Hilary of being corrupt... well Trump is part of the system that corrupts people like Hilary in the first place!

They're both weasels. But Hillary is far dirtier in that regard.
 
And because of that, you are going to vote for someone who is much like her. Makes sense...... Not.

Gary Johnson 2016.

Uh, no I'm not.

This will be the first election in my voting life that I will sit the sidelines on that vote. I'll just vote in the state and local stuff only.

Don't need that on my conscience. Principles used to matter. They still do to me.

Do you like the Libertarian Party candidate, Gary Johnson?

There's common ground, but he's far too weak on immigration, and I can't justify a man who is anti-death penalty for axe murderers, but won't defend the unborn from being executed.

You should show up to vote anyways. Downballot races are also extremely important. Dems will probably win the presidency and the senate this year, although Republicans will take back the senate in 2018. However, if you and many like you don't show up to vote in November, you may be looking at Speaker Pelosi again, and I am sure you don't want that. Which is why I am urging you to at least vote in the downballot races, especially congressional races.

I loved it when some people got so fired up about Bernie Sanders when the vast majority knew he didn't have a snowball's chance in Hell. Fund raising at $24.86 a pop.

Getting giddy over a third party, now that's feeling the burn.

I've been consistently voting third party for over a decade, and will continue to do so, and not vote for Democrats or Republicans. I am one of few who can say "I don't feel dirty" after voting. :mrgreen:

She only seems dirtier because her whole life has been in the public eye since forever. Trump has a lot of skeletons in his closet that hopefully will come out,... it is so much easier to hide behind secrecy laws as a private businessman than as a public servant. That is what Trump has been doing.

Has he released his tax returns for the last 10 years? Have people gotten access to all his bankruptcy files so we can see what sweetheart deal he got? No and no.

LOL and that is the excuse you are going to use?
 
Let's say Cruz or Kasich or even Bush had won the primary, and were going this route...the same route all Presidential candidates go. How is this a story when its the expected route for any Presidential candidate? Just seems to be a non issue.

People declaring bankruptcy through their businesses while still retaining their personal wealth happens all the time in this country. I can't stand Trump, but you are focusing on a non-issue here.

The details of the 4 bankruptcies are all available. Bankruptcy is a matter of public record. You can very easily search the internet to get the details of the "sweetheart" deals (which were not very sweetheart).

Because Cruz and Kasich and Bush never boasted about self-funding their campaigns.

Oh, I will vote for sure. Just might leave the presidential boxes unchecked.

Has he tacitly enabled a serial rapist spouse for political gain? Has he usurped a president's direct order not to communicate intelligence outside government-secured servers? Has he been involved with illegal land deals while in office? Has he set up a money-laundering organization like the Clinton Foundation for back dealings with foreign governments?

And you're so worried about those tax returns, but why don't you want to see Hillary's transcripts?

Trump is a clown. But Hillary is a deeply vile and corrupt criminal on so many levels.
 
Hillary has never made an honest dollar in her life. She's been living off the government dole, foreign donations, campaign finances, inside real estate deals, and "speaking" fees from Wall Street her whole adult life.

If she was a PUB it would be considered a noble and honorable professional life- political consultant, adviser, lobbyist, think tank 'fellow', savvy and successful business person and dynamic public speaker... ;)

Sort of a Palin, Fiorino combo platter with some BushII thrown in for good measure... :peace
 
Has he tacitly enabled a serial rapist spouse for political gain?

Wait what... Bill is a serial rapist? Based on what evidence.. please start a thread in the conspiracy theory section on this.

Has he usurped a president's direct order not to communicate intelligence outside government-secured servers?

And yet you had no problem with it when the GOP was doing it eh?

Has he been involved with illegal land deals while in office?

Prove that she has.

Also, why "in office"? Donald Trump is the freaking poster boy for shady deals, bankruptcy and connections to organised crime.

Has he set up a money-laundering organization like the Clinton Foundation for back dealings with foreign governments?

Yes he has.. it is called owning casinos.

And you're so worried about those tax returns, but why don't you want to see Hillary's transcripts?

Has she not released hers several times?

Trump is a clown. But Hillary is a deeply vile and corrupt criminal on so many levels.

I see your hatred towards the Clintons clouds your judgement. Look at this way.. Clinton is the devil we know.. where as Trump has many dark secrets that we are yet to unravel... like I said, like he managed to go bankrupt 4 times, be billions in debt and yet still come out on top. That does not happen for people "sticking to the law". Trump is dangerous.. pure and simple.
 
Trump has, at all stages in his life, repeatedly shown that he will always place increasing his wealth and stroking his own ego over being a decent human being. There is no reason to believe this election will be any different.

Sounds like Billary
 
You're so jealous of Trump that you have to spread long debunked lies.

Not exactly sure what you believe is "debunked", that Trump filed personal bankruptcy? I don't believe anyone has asserted that. However, Trump has bankrupted multiple companies and has made liberal use of bankruptcy.

Per the attached: "...And in fact, no major U.S. company has filed for Chapter 11 more than Trump's casino empire in the last 30 years...."

Donald Trump bankruptcy: Everything you want to know - Aug. 31, 2015
 
This is no news or surprise, if you have been paying attention.

Trump said that he would self fund his PRIMARY campaign but that a general election campaign would be a different matter..

He said this wayy back before anyone thought he had a chance to with the republican nomination. I knew this the whole time..
