Trump proved he's more efficient with spending than Hillary

The press treated Trump like a celebrity and largely ignored all the other candidates.


Yup...Americans sure do love their celebrities. It's too bad Oprah didn't run instead of Clinton.

Oprah probably would've won. People actually like Oprah.
 
Can you imagine Oprah sitting those foreign leaders down. Next thing you know they are in tears, spilling their guts, and she's patting them in the shoulder.

Trump's press was bad but it did two things

gave him lots of name recognition

and lots of people out here in mid-America saw how biased the smarmy assholes like Maher, Colbert, MadCow, etc were and that actually helped Trump. I suspect just about everyone who has come to believe that the MSM is nothing more than professional Fluffers of the DNC, probably voted for Trump or at least against the smarmy smart ass condescending leftwing press

Meanwhile Hillary outspent Trump by a wide margin, in a losing effort.

Which one would you pick to fix the budget?

And people would stand up, cheer, dance around and sob whenever she came into the room.

Neither, but we've got to work with what we have.

The one that showed their tax returns.

Why?

The tax return is a dead issue. Another one where Trump prevailed.

So which one would you think would reduce spending? The losing big spender or the winning little spender?

With his history of bankruptcies....I'd still like to know who he was borrowing money from....especially now that he's president, he needs to be more transparent in dealings.

Almost definitely neither of them would looking at their economic plans.
 
I wonder if it changes election strategy from now on...

Thats one thing about Trump, he's not beholden to anyone....except maybe Putin, Wikileaks and the FBI.

Do you even know his history of bankruptcies? I'll help.

Out of around 1000 companies of which Trump was involved, 1 bankruptcy, 4 reorgs. That's a very good record.

He borrowed his money from banks or bank groups. Many of those the same banks that paid the Clinton's for speeches. Why is that importabt?
 

Because of his bankruptcies, he was black balled from borrowing from US banks....so who did Trump borrow his money from and how much does he owe them?

I know of no blackballing by US banks. Some may not lend him money for a variety of reasons, but bring them the right deal that fits their parameters and he gets the money. At any rate, I find no claim anywhere that is in relationship to decades old bankruptcies.

That story seems to have originated with A Weiner with backup. Just another unfounded bash Trump story. The usual liberal suspects picked it up and ran with it.

I don't follow Trump's businesses, so I have no clue who loans him money. I suspect it would not be that hard to learn. Mortgages are public record. Business borrowings are generally well publicized.

Why don't you do the research if you are so inclined?

Not for the Democrats it won't. They're already prepping Howard Dean to be the next leader of the DNC and Chelsea to get into politics. Many Dems are blaming Hillary's loss on everyone except themselves for this Democratic disaster. Hillary actually had the gall to blame Comey during her call to corporate taskmasters for why she lost.

Everything else being at least relatively equal, the better financed candidate will win (and then there's the debt of gratitude/sense of obligation to campaign donors, direct and indirect, no matter who wins). Clinton lost because no amount of money could save her.

Hillary got far more money than Trump, spent more money than Trump and had far more fat cats (2 million plus donors: 20-3) over Trump

yet he won.

In response to your video.....meanwhile, Trump is packing his administration with corporate elites and failed ideologues....the very thing the right alleged to hate Hillary for.
