How is taking risks seen as bad? That is how businessmen succeed---as do people in most walks of life that reach the elite level.
Read most pundits. They saw the field in a much different light than you do.
As always, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Just would be nice for it to at least seem to be based on something substantial. Otherwise, it just seems bitter and uninformed.
Ha..nice try. Of course you needed to add the ending part as some poorly hidden jab.
I dont draw conclusions based on sour grapes or not liking someone...that may be your position but for sure it is not mine.
I dont think there is a candidate who is squeaky clean, there are few people in high positions in the business world that are squeaky clean..so the obvious easy and uneducated conclusion is Trump falls in line with the usual stereotype, but it goes beyond that.
As I said in specifics that Trump has many public examples of dishonest dealings..it is public. Some of his business interests and decisions are questionable, did you not understand those words I typed? His real estate school, the way he handled the golf course he was building in Ireland.
To me the most obvious and glaring reason is as I stated..he takes a large number of risks, he boasts about it and revels in that fact..and he has failed many many times, his businesses bloat up on debt and they fail..it is a repeated pattern over and over. A risk taker as brazen as he is takes risks we do not see and risks we see..that is his nature as a person. I have no doubt he has been dishonest many many more times that those near to him only can know, but it is quite easy to see based on his outward, public actions and results the kind of person he is.
The public and known examples already fit the description I gave, even ONE public example fits the description I gave, but aside from even one example, the guy for sure is riddled with much much more..based only on his multiple decade repeated risk taking and failure, risk taking, debt filled growth and failure.
Oh and my sour grapes are only this..and I stand by this position for ANY candidate, the difference is Trump is so bad at it I cannot even try to make excuses for him. The guy has a huge mouth and cannot come up with real answers for much of anything. Someone asks him a question of depth and his answers are horrible...the "yeah we will do........." and fill in the blank, he seems completely incapable of a neutral answer which shows his political immaturity.
I dont want to hear we will "get the bad ones, the really bad ones" (referring to illegal aliens) or "we will big a big wall, a really big wall, I know how to build things". Dont come off as some ignorant know-it-all to appease the mindless followers. I cannot give any real support to someone so clueless that they actually think the public will buy such stupid answers and think there is ANY reality to what he suggests.
Its so bad it is laughable, I watch the general acceptance of this clown and wonder what the hell happened to our society? Maybe in general we really are this stupid...obviously this has to be the case.
