I really want to see a couple examples of trumps supposed business savvy that didn't involve him blatantly reneging on deals or buying politically favorable outcomes

It really isn't about "financial savvy" per se, but using the brute and power that comes with having the most money in Monopoly to break his opponents backwards to get what he wants.

- Offering to buy Mar E Lago for $25 million, rescinding the offer, buying the beachfront property in front of it, threatening to build something hideous to mar its property value, then buying it for $5 million

- The incredible touch he has in lobbying for tax abatements and the like for his properties, due to things like actually setting up a command center in the NJ legislative house to send his minions out.

- Utilizing his dad's relationships to barge his way into the NY real estate scene, the most cutthroat and back-stabby business there is, and wrangle a million stakeholders to create his various projects, starting with the aformentioned Trainyards project.

- Being the only the person during the cement workers strike in the 80s to still get deliveries, probably due to his large number of contacts in the mafia world.

I could go on, but there's a lot of stuff out there. It doesn't affect my incredibly negative take on him, though. Ben Carson is an amazing brain surgeon. Trump is a scummy, amoral, and pretty successful real estate developer, and straight out incredible media brander.

Given that Trump projects everything wrong with him onto Clinton, I'm guessing that means he's dying

Dude definitely has heart problems. Remember his reaction to that guy who tried to charge the stage? Totally indicative of heart palpitations.

The stress of a campaign is probably getting to him. For Hillary, this all probably feels like a vacation compared to the State Department.

I don't see what all the health problem conspiracy mongering vis a vis Clinton is based on, she seems like a reasonably healthy post-menopausal woman, certainly healthier than most American women in her age group. Seems healthier than Trump for that matter, but that might be just because she doesn't sweat due to spending a more than half of her adult life in Arkansas, DC and various other sub-tropical or arid locations.

I now have a database of 3200 trump tweets sitting on my computer (Starting from around December of last year). That's how far back their API goes, and paling the website itself does not get me the source of the tweet, unless I get it after the fact. :argh:

Anyway, here is a word cloud of those tweets, using "Twitter for Android" as the source, that kinda looks like the US if you squint.

Baloogan's right on this one, Let The People Post. Boosted was deposed already, hasn't he suffered enough? Let him keep dancing his "Trump'll win!" jig right up until the election with occasional bouts of bleak clarity so we can harvest his misery at a Hillary Presidency.

I can remember a time when Boosted was first IK'd and the people called him Good King Boosted. The crowd that cheers at your coronation cheers at your execution.

That was a a pretty hilarious weird Trump personality quirk.

He can easily find 4/5 star hotel close to rally locations but always ends up flying back to NYC on a late night flight

one of the most telling contrasts in this election was that gif that showed Trump freaking out during the charge-the-stage moment versus Hillary reacting calmly when the same happened to her. you see her eyes get a little wider but she doesn't move an inch
