Is honesty an issue in this campaign?

Legal affairs designed to protect the rich and screw the little guys. Trump says he is for the little guys, that makes me laugh

Trump was born with a silver spoon and always lived a life of privilege. That he claims to understand what the little guys go through is hilarious.

Billionaire. If you think anyone can do that then why doesn't everyone do it ?
Don't have to like him but to pretend he's not accomplished is silly.

He inherited 200 million.
Considering six bankruptcies I would hardly say he is a success.

Oh brother Rune. Every major corporation in the nation has numerous bankruptcies for failed business units and franchises. It's part of doing business. Some models succeed and generate profits. Most fail within five years.

Using bankruptcies as a sign of failure is only appropriate when you come out of one personally bankrupt.

Wrong.
None of the blue chips do it.

I actually think it's off the table, which is kind of a sad statement. I mean, if it is a consideration - which candidate has the edge?

Hillary's dishonesty is a politician's dishonesty. It is rooted almost entirely in expediency, and covering for mistakes she has made or other inconvenient truths.

Trump's is certainly more pathological. There was some fact-check recently that had him averaging a lie every 5 minutes. Trump doesn't lie for expediency; he lies because that's basically what he does.

Neither is a great option. Trump's is much scarier to me, but I get that opinions vary.

I'm not sure what the issue would be......did someone think Hillary wasn't a liar?.....

He didn't take risk, he just overextended himself. He acquired too much debt, and he had been in business long enough to know that is a bad thing, so spare me your excuses for him. He is a bad manager and it is being reflected in his campaign as well.

A bad manager that amasses over a billion dollars.?.....you're an ass.....
 
so far I've seen "Trump claimed Obama was born in Kenya" and I've seen "The attack that killed four Americans was because of a YouTube video".......gotta love liberal balance.....
 
Rana said:
The laws protects people like Trump who use it as a means of doing business. Yeah, some businesses fail, but he has 6 to his record, quit giving him a pass, this guy is a loser who had to become a reality TV star to save his ass.

Sorry but it's a silly argument. Virtually all midsize companies and larger have multiple bankruptcies on record.

And liberals saw "the US is under imminent threat from WMDs" and you gullible fools bought it hook line and sinker.

It isn't silly to me, people on here are always comparing how businesses are run, to how the government should be run, I really don't want Trump running us into bankruptcy with some of his foolish economic schemes.

Our gov't doesn't go into bankruptcy, it just prints more money.
