Donald actually cares about the average joe. The taxi cab drivers, the construction workers, middle america. Blue collar American's love Donald, the elites and wealthy hate him. This is the exact opposite for Hillary.

That's because he understands the heartland. This isn't a liberal/conservative issue. Establishment Republicans are voting for Hillary because she provides a safe haven for the status quo. What has kept middle america down and out for seemingly forever. Donald understands us. We see it in the way he speaks. The unspoken words he mouths in his body language.

Obama and the establishment have attacked Americans day in and day out by expanding the H-1B Visa program, DACA. Where is the outrage we allow illegal immigrants who have expired visa to buy homes, jobs, drivers license? Obama is leading us to another housing and economic crash yet we say it is okay because he caters to cool points and vanity.

This unfettered support of illegal immigrants is illogical. Not only is it ruining our economy, but increasing our vulnerability to terrorist attacks. Even liberals/democrats know this, they are just too afraid to come across as racist.

No he doesn't.

You're voting for a man that's nothing what you claim because he went on TV and said what you wanted to hear.

Firstly, Trump is a con man and fraud. In reality, he is none of the things you think he is at all.

Secondly, illegal immigration has tapered off to nearly zero in the past eight years. Here's what the Pro illegal "National Council of La Raza" says about Obama:

President Barack Obama has lost the nation’s largest Latino advocacy organization.
The National Council of La Raza is set to declare Obama “the deporter-in-chief” and demand that he take unilateral action to stop deportations.

I understand Obama spits at people in wheelchairs and kicks sleeping puppies.
 
Trump's bankruptcies and non-payments to contractors have driven dozens of small businesses out of business. And add in the dozens of lawsuits against him by 'average Joes' like waiters, dishwashers, carpenters, plumbers, bartenders, etc. who Trump hasn't paid. Anyone who believes a rich, entitled billionaire cares about the 'average Joe' is naive to the nth degree.

These kind of threads are nothing but the same old same old Republican BS, they love the Echo chamber, they love being told what they want to hear. No matter who's saying it. Trump's a con man, and his history is filled with examples of his cons, lies, etc.
 
You are falling for BS here - republicants, Trump or no Trump, will not secure the border, enforce universal ID/E-verify for employment or deport several million illegal aliens. Spending $30K (or more) for a deportation to make a $25K/year job available for some eager to get off the dole citizen is never going to happen.

So a mega rich real estate mogul who was born to a mega rich real estate mogul and had a silver spoon shoved up his ass his entire life really cares about the average Joe and understands his struggles. What kind of fantasy world do you live in? Donald has at all times shown that the only thing he cares about is himself and stroking his own ego.

Yeah, he wants to massively cut taxes while simultaneously spending hundreds of billions on walls and deportation. Then the same people who think we should reduce the deficit think this is the way to do it.

Well, I heard republicans throw old ladies off of cliffs. I guess Obama spits on them and then republicans throw them off the cliff. Team work.
 
Trump plays by the rules. There is NOTHING he does that is illegal or questionable.

The rules need changing. That's the whole point.

No, he doesn't. That's the whole point. He rips off subcontractors on a regular basis, and knows they can't afford to litigate in advance.

You don't have to like the reality of it, but it won't change a thing if you don't.

So over the past few decades he's used bankruptcy laws dozens and dozens of times and ****ed over countless small businesses and workers all in an attempt to draw attention to how screwed up our system is? What a selfless hero.
 
I support Trump for slightly different reasons.

Hillary must be stopped. Trump is the ONLY ONE who has a chance of stopping her.

Trump will last four years and out. That paves the way for another try by a Sanders-type candidate.

Hillary would last eight years and, like Obama, she'd try to replace herself with another Fascist/Corporatist--and with the able assistance of the Oligarchs--she would probably succeed--and 24 years of Fascist/Corporatist rule would consolidate the Fascist/Corporatist power forever.

Trump is the only rational choice.

He claims that he will make, our rich neighbor to the south, Mexico pay for that. ;)

"No he doesn't" what? You've bought the narrative, haven't you?

If he was as ruthless as he's portrayed, no one would want to do business with him. Would they??

Isn't that exactly what Hillary tells us? ;)
 
Come back and tell us all about it after Trump gets his butt handed to him in November.

:lol:

If you want to follow him off the cliff,get after it.

He is on the same footing as any other businessman. The laws need changing. I think your estimate of dozens and dozens of times is a gross exaggeration, but it does make for interesting drama. Now ABCNews tells us it's FOUR times, but perhaps you don't call that a reliable source.

Trump plays by the rules. There is NOTHING he does that is illegal or questionable.

His discriminating against black people looking to rent his apts was both illegal and questionable. So too was his refusal to pay hundreds of people who worked for him. His public betrayal of his wife, though not illegal, is definitely questionable.

"No he doesn't" what? You've bought the narrative, haven't you?

If he was as ruthless as he's portrayed, no one would want to do business with him. Would they??

If that were true, no one would do business with the Mafia or drug cartels, who are pretty ruthless

your post is about as divorced from reality as it can get. no thinking person supports trump.

??? More information?
 
Character a donation only goes so far. Trump's plans are out there and on his website.

Cut corporate taxes, and target tax relief toward the middle class: since the media other than Fox won't discuss it, maybe you should read it.

Tax reform affected the middle class the most. Not Much else matters.

Hillary says she is going to raise them. IOW, you give more money to the government.
 
He doesn't play by the rules. I haven't 'bought' any narrative, I know his history. It's quite telling that you don't.

Try this, for example. He's an utter con-man and shark.

There isn't one large or even medium-sized business in this country that doesn't have a gaggle of disgruntled suppliers. I'm not interested in one man's horror story. If DTs conduct was deplorable, no one would bid on his business. And yet they stand in line.

And then there's his taste. Again, not illegal but very questionable :lol:

Nonsense.

But if that were true, then you should have no problem showing that there's another developer with such a long list of workers who are suing him for non-payment. Heck, he's even being sued by own lawyers

No, you're not interested in anyone's horror story, and there a LOT more out there involving Trump. You're either too in love w/his image or too disinterested to find out about them.
