Bush took ALL of his businesses and BANKRUPTED them ALL.  All the republicans said the same thing (you said) about his business savy and how did that end up for the Country??"- Comparing George W. Bush's business savy to Trump's is like apples and oranges.  Bush was one dumb rotten apple.  Not only that but Bush was also a drug user and alcohol abuser in the past which further dulled his mind.  Trump has NEVER done any drugs or alcohol.  He is smart, sharp, and I am leaning towards the fact that he will use his resources wisely to make an informed decision in regards to our economic policy."Yes, Trump filed for bankruptcy to protect his money using the tax laws to his advantage, but SOMEONE had to EAT the losses.  Thats NOT how the company operates.  There is NOBODY to EAT the losses generated by the government.  You cant pass that buck to anyone other than YOU and I, the taxpayers."- The American taxpayer has been eating the losses for the past 2 presidents, and the problem is we still are eating the losses.  And what happened to the financial institutions that fostered this environment?....Bailouts and merges, leaving the middle class out to dry in the tidal wave of foreclosures that are still rampant in this country.  At least Trump had the testicular fortitude to layout a plan to fix our trade deficit.  He will not be consulting with lobbyists, but instead will be consulting with some of the greatest business minds in the country.  His endorsement of Carl Ichan is proof that he chooses wisely."Regardless of his rationale, TRUMP cannot claim to love america and american workers, while NOT only HE but his children OUTSOURCE ALL their merchandise to third world countries to be assembled."- He addressed this.  He did what he had to do because he was a businessman, and he had to make money.  If our economic policy was different to make America more competitive, things would have been different.  He clearly outlined a plan to change this (use of tariffs on products made outside the US.)"Further, TRUMPS companies continue to APPLY with the federal government to IMPORT GUEST WORKERS by the THOUSANDS for his companies here in the States.  These workers are paid LESS and earn no benefits because they are GUEST WORKERS.  Many of them dissapear into the country after they are done working for TRUMP and then becoming ILLEGAL and never found again."- These are H2B seasonal employment visas, granted only AFTER the company proves that they tried to find American workers first for these jobs.  And its not THOUSANDS, it was approximately 1,100...SINCE THE YEAR 2000. 1,100 divided by 15 years is about 73 SEASONAL workers PER YEAR.(source: Reuters analysis of Labor Department Data)"TRUMP isnt the answer to this countries problems, he is a part of the problem itself."- No one man is the answer to this country's problems, but it looks like he is the only one with the guts enough to point out what is wrong and at least try to lead and provide solutions.  ----------------------------------------------------------------------"The whole country has a friend*ed up mentality.  We all got a gang mentality.  Republicans are friend*ing idiots, Democrats are friend*ing idiots, Conservatives are idiots, Liberals are idiots....Anyone that makes up their mind, before they hear the issue....is a friend*ing FOOL." - Chris Rock----------------------------------------------------------------------</blockquote>
