Apparently, facts don't seem to matter with Trump followers, either. Even after the dissection of Trump's tax reform plan for the failure that it is, he is again rising in the polls. rolleyes

All Trump did was take Herman Cain's "nine nine nine" plan, and shift the numbers around. Like Cain's approach, his numbers don't add up. No wonder he has put his businesses through bankruptcy so often. Anyone who spends 3 minutes understanding what he said would realize that there is nothing there.


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Evidently, Trump needs several remedial courses in business math-or just plain math!

Picture this:
you're walking down a street in NYC and you see this big guy with bad hair ranting at the top of his lungs:

That was also in the 50s, remember that. Different time, remember that.

That’s when we had a country. That’s when we had borders; you know, without borders you don’t have a country, essentially. We don’t have a country. Without borders, you just don’t have it.

But Dwight Einsenhower, this big report, they used to take them out and put them on the other side of the border and say, 'you have to stay here.' And they’d come right back, and they’d do it again and again, so they said 'Wait a minute, this doesn’t work.' And they took them out and moved them all the way South; all the way. And they never came back again; it’s too far. Amazing.

And I’m not saying this in a joking way — I’m saying this happened. It wasn’t working, they were coming back, and then they literally - literally - moved them all the way. A lot of the politicians - they never came back, it was too far. They’d put them on boats and move them all the way down South, and that was it."

What do you do next? Call the cops... Call Bellvue... Call the EMT...

Here's Why Donald Trump Is the 'Mean Girl' of the GOP

Rob Garver
The Fiscal Times
October 6, 2015

Quote
Donald Trump at this point is probably just days away from calling Papa John's and ordering a dozen pizzas to be delivered to the headquarters of each of his rivals for the GOP presidential nomination - with a promise of payment in cash, of course.

Trump's presidential campaign looks increasingly like a piece of performance art designed to gauge the Republican voter base's tolerance for a candidate utterly divorced from the idea that a presidential election is a serious national conversation about policy ...

Pause for a moment and consider that the man currently in the lead in the race to be a major party nominee for president is running a campaign that counts Middle School-level taunting as a useful tactic ...

It seems that "crazy" and "mean" are the operative words for qualifying as presidential candidate for the Republican Party. rolleyes
