Trump is held up by the kooks as some kind of business genius....

[Airport]

And the GOP voters like Trump way more than Kasich because they eat boogers and sniff their fingers after taking a dump.

They smell like, liberals!

only a bunch of kooks would tout a guy's business acumen when he's weaseled out of paying his bills stiffing many little guys out of millions legitimately owed them.

Sounds like Jim Justice - not paying his bills

When you cant list her accomplishments so you have to google her campaign talking points, that means she didnt do ****.

Fair point, but I can't list a ton of accomplishments of any of the candidates without deferring to their talking points right now. I like Kasich because he seems reasonable, and he was part of Congresses that got things done. He's also worked as an executive and is popular enough in that role to win his home state. Outside of being an obstructionist, I can't list much that Cruz has done. I know some of what Trump has done in private industry, but his platform is really sparse on details. Clinton and Sanders, I can't detail much about. I know offices they've held, but can't name much in the way of individual deeds in those offices. As the election nears, I'll do more independent research. Right now, I'm running off what they say and how they carry themselves. That's where Kasich wins me over. Right now, I see pretty much the rest of the candidates as too abrasive or too obstinate to work across the aisle.

Trump... sparse on details? Are you bleeding out of your know what? His details are fantastic.... they're great... really great. I mean have you heard how Mexico is going to pay for a wall? It's fantastic.... [winking]

Understand your point and why Kasich "should" be running and projected to win in a landslide.

RPJ not only proved my initial point, he doubled down to make sure he could make me right by pulling from Hillary Clinton.com. She has held positions and produced little substance.

Refresh my memory......what is Trumps worth? Only a kook or a partisan hack would think Trump is not a business success.

That's a good question? What is it?
Since he doesn't seem inclined to provide any financial information, we can only take him at his word which has been proven over and over again to be unreliable.

He has built a good brand, no question, as I've already stated. But he has a YUUUGE list of failed businesses, or things that he's merely lent his name to that went down the toilet. So, what does he actually own and how much of it does he own?

Having said all of that. I would be impressed if he started from nothing, but I'd guess that nearly all of us on this board would have a life vastly different if we got a $200M head start and an established real estate venture from our parents.
