What if as a country we all boycott the presidential race & don't vote? What would happen then?
Obviously impossible for 1 country to be that united to all not vote, but what's the protocol?

When you've in bankruptcy court four times, it demonstrates that you don't know how to run your business.

As President he will make sure our first priority is doing what's best for the citizens of this country. It's the whole premise of his campaign. Different focus.
It's the reason why the Crony Capitalist Republicans fought so hard against him. They have a lot to lose. As does everyone involved in the free trade open / borders crowd. He's done everything he wanted to do in the field of business and now he wants to give back. You can believe him or not I can understand it's hard to trust anyone nowadays. It seems like no one gives a damn. With the present course the country is being gutted. We need something different.
This isn't some asswipe saying voodoo economics, like what we usually get from politicians. He's talking about better trade agreements so countries don't take advantage of us sucking jobs out of the U.S., doing something to stop illegal immigration so more jobs are available for Americans at better wages and ending visa abuse where companies bring in foreign workers many times replacing American workers permanently.
He also prefers a more hands off approach regarding military intervention. Haven't we had enough of the endless wars? We can use that money at home.
He's also the only one taking on the medical field. He wants to...7. Remove barriers to entry into free markets for drug providers that offer safe, reliable and cheaper products. Congress will need the courage to step away from the special interests and do what is right for America. Though the pharmaceutical industry is in the private sector, drug companies provide a public service. Allowing consumers access to imported, safe and dependable drugs from overseas will bring more options to consumers.
It's absolutely obscene that our own drug companies gouge the U.S. customers. No one else talks about it because they are bought and paid for by the pharmaceuticals. It's a proposal that will lower healthcare costs.
Your politics and desire for a politician who will implement your point of view is all you have.
What kind of fantasy is this that Trump will executive YOUR VISION? Because it is your vision, just like every other Trump supporter we've seen say what they want to happen.
Trump is an idiot. You project your beliefs onto this empty shell and claim he is the answer.
I'm not even interested in Trump supporter's viewpoints any more simply because it has become very clear they are a breed of people who simply claim somebody as their candidate and then very stridently pronounce that candidate will do X, Y & Z.
It is all fantasy. Trump is not competent. Go ahead and ignore all of the information many insiders keep providing about his inability to take counsel and make rational decisions.
You project your beliefs about Trump and his supporters and present them as real but it's just your fantasy. It doesn't matter what your viewpoint is anyway America isn't going to elect a weak leader in war time. It's all over but the shouting.

When you are a businessman, you do what is best for yourself. That's including taking your business to bankruptcy many times. That's including daring your contractors to accept pennies on the dollar or fight him in court. While he didn't provide any specifics he did suggested the idea of having creditors accept less as a solution to the national debt. He never mentioned again after people realized that what he was suggested was debt default.

I don't think you know what the words "debt default" mean.

Seems like plagiarism was good enough for Barrack so what the hell.
Doesn't matter, it was a couple of paragraphs in a fairly long speech and those types of experiences are not at all exclusive to the Obama family. Partisans will pick it apart but I think the average American will look at it and shrug their shoulders, just like they did with Barack.
Just Words. Just not Obama's.

Sorry, we need to see his taxes before we even accept that he is a billionaire. The way Trump routinely lies, we have every reason to doubt every representation he makes about his net worth.
Bill Gates is a billionaire. Bill Gates works hard every day to give away his money. Trump instead looks for ways to scam innocent people. And Trump's scams are not the scams of billionaires, they're the scams of low-rent millionaires.
A guy like Gates could buy and sell Trump dozens of times, and still have cash left over.

I will go by the investorpedia definition of default, which is what I consider a default to be. And you tell me what is debt default in Trump dictionary book.
Default is the failure to promptly pay interest or principal when due. Default occurs when a debtor is unable to meet the legal obligation of debt repayment. Borrowers may default when they are unable to make the required payment or are unwilling to honor the debt

You don't pull from the sitting first lady though. Reach back a little further.
