To say: Trump, thou hast dawned as emperor of America, because thou hast gained power over the Establishment, together with their Tea Party, together with their Neocons, together with their delegates, together with all their voters. Trump, him thou causest to endure, he will live. Trump, if thou livest, America will live. - Utterance 444 - 445

hobbesmaster posted:But he's taking out mortgages on his buildings at the current very low prevailing rates. Cruz took out a signature loan from his wife's employer. That's true, I forgot that his wife worked there. And don't think I'm defending the Lord of Slime, because I'm definitely not. breaklaw posted:Eh, no not quite. A loan or a mortgage is a regular tool of business where the benefit to the bank is direct in the form of interest and fees. Far different from the assumed benefit of political contributions. Big difference between "on the hook to" and "beholden to". It's a fair distinction, but you see my point about the environment in which he has operated for the past several decades, right? There are still bonds of friendship and loyalty that have developed between Trump and the higher-ups at these financial institutions. It kind of makes a man skeptical of his claims that he won't do what his old cronies want him to do. HapiMerchant posted:To be fair to trump here, has there ever been a politician past 1900 who was truly "a man of the people, here to serve the working poor?" Not too many, I certainly agree with you there. But when so many of Trump's own supporters seem to accept uncritically that he is one, I think it's helpful to remind them that no, he actually isn't.

"Anti-Trump Ads Have Exploded" http://fivethirtyeight.com/live-blog/michigan-mississippi-idaho-hawaii-primaries-presidential-election-2016/ quote:Even though Trump won Kentucky and Louisiana on Saturday, he didn’t post the same commanding numbers as he had on Super Tuesday, and if he turns in tepid numbers tonight, the chatter that Trump has “topped out” will get louder. But a new analysis of ad spending over the past month at the Cook Political Report explains why this wouldn’t be a random phenomenon.

Vladimir Putin posted:The problem with current efforts by the republicans is that it's all focused on Trump not being conservative enough. They should really focus on Trump being loving looney-tunes. Romney talked about that at legnth, but I didn't see many attacks pick up on it. But that's exactly why the base likes him. Catch-22.

So is Trump going to replace literally everything with Trump [insert name of object here]. Like that poo poo is beyond parody. Yeah when I go to a nice campaign party I enjoy pallets of bottled water next to heavily marked up wine and RAW STEAKS.

The Saurus posted:Unlike Hillary Clinton, well known for her distance from the financial industry. Well, but I never said Clinton was ever distant from Wall Street. If you read my posts, you'll see I'm pointing out that Trump's claims to be somehow more distant from Wall Street than Clinton doesn't seem terribly believable.

No, I get that they're Trump steaks, but they're just raw. Is he going to serve them to people? Is he giving them away as gifts? Will he throw a BBQ right there on stage? Is he just going to gesture to them as one of his fine products then chuck 'em out at the end of the night because they've sat out too long? Honestly I'm guessing nobody but Trump actually knows the answer so maybe I'm the fool for the asking.

It's just a gently caress YOU to Romney since he brought them up as a failed Trump business. Ascribing any motive more complex than gently caress YOU to anything Trump does is reading way too deeply.
