Why the media is all in for Joe

What has Pocahontas accomplished that amounted to anything?

All she is preaching for now is over taxing the responsible people and giving it to the irresponsible people in the form of medicare for all, forgiveness of college loans, and on and on with her socialism.

How does her bankruptcy tally compare with the current POTUS? I don't think it will be Liz. Not enough Elvis in her.

What does that have to do with what kind of president she would make any more so than what size shoe she wears?

In her case the question should be "how big a tee pee she lives in".

[togor]

Well Trump grew up a rich kid and wobbled in and out of backruptcy before failing upward from a reality TV series into his current job. Liz did not start out with a hereditary bankroll. Hey, you asked.

Hey, you asked.

Hey, you didn't answer.

You got the last word in though and that's all you understand.

As always, nothing but crickets chirping.

Many view bankruptcy as a sign of failure. Some view it as an opportunistic way to jump start their next play.

Those that do file for bankruptcy do it by the laws of the land.

I don't like it but it is the law/laws. Many benefit from it, most don't.

I once had an employer who made off like a bandit by filing for bankruptcy. He wasn't a failure by any means, just a good businessman worth millions.

Trump owns 500 companies and employs 34,000 people. There's bound to be a bankruptcy here and there.

How successful has your Native American wannabe been?

[Roadkingtrax]

Imagine spending all that money to be a government employee?

to quote one of your favorites,,,, what difference does it make?

The "there's bound to be a bankrupt here and there" line of course seeks to dismiss the fact without denying it, or getting into the details at all to see what can be learned from them. In Trump's case, what is learned is that he has a penchant for making bad decisions impulsively, leading to a mess. Sounds like his Syria policy, yes? (Can elaborate if necessary.)

Liz by contrast was not bankrolled to the tune of $200M* by dad. She was youngest of 4 and her pop earned a living on the sales floor at Monkey Wards until a heart attack caught up with him.

Not saying you have to love Liz. I think she's too focused on the minutae of policy to be a good leader in a broad sense. However, in the Compelling Personal Narrative department she beats Trump hands down.

*We don't know if Trump's decision-making with that $200M stake from dad actually beats the S&P index over that time because he fights tooth and nail to keep his finances hidden. We simply don't know.

A good theory huh? If you've never done anything, nothing can happen to you.

Clearly you have no interest in plumbing Trump's past failures. But as 'trax pointed out, the next bubble is business debt and it's already huge. If a large chunk of the economy follows the Trump playbook all at once, well look out.

You mean "as you pointed out to yourself".

[togor]

No, I mean the link in post #7. A lot gets by you.

[Gun Smoke]

Like I said.

"As you pointed out to yourself."

That's why the different user names. No one else is going to agree with you.

I suppose you talk to yourself quite a bit in the mirror too.

Or, as Uncle Herbivore said, "'Tis better to have failed your Wasserman test than never to have loved at all."
