You gotta love Trump!!!

He says it the way it is.

He's on Billary's Payroll to run as an Independent Third Party Candidate.  Can see this coming a mile away.  Election to Clinton.

This would have been a good thread a month ago when every other loser was excited about Trumo "calling a spade a spade".

The economy has been so bad for so long with the two incompetent parties in power, however wouldn't mind giving a elite business person (D or R or whatever) a chance at kicking things into turbo gear....gridlock has paralyzed us

I believe this is the sentiment of the majority of Americans,, at this point...community organizing wasn't the solution ..lets tray a real businessman..

Unless you're a Mexican or POW..................great choice!

I'm not American but from the outside I'd love to see Trump be president.

It's hard to tell if it's a desperate voting base fooling a candidate with no hope,

Or

If it's a desperate candidate fooling a voting base with no hope.

But seems like a lot foolishness. But considering the OP it's par for the course.

It's will be funny after the primaries when the real gop candidate you actually has a chance is chosen making all these trump saber rattlers look like fools.

But rather than interesting it will just be sad

While I agree since Obama took over the overall number went down, the economy in general is around the average for growth, etc.  Sure certain sectors have ups and downs.  I am sorry your business has not gone as planned for you.  But to be honest you have to adapt and change your model as needed.  There are many small businesses that have done well even since your timeframe of 2009.  There have been much tougher times for the economy.  It is not near any particular low and well off of the highs.  So, to me, this is a good time to really gear up for when things change and, hopefully, boom again.

To be honest the president really has very little to do with the economy.  But what exactly would you like the president and/or congress to do?  As you are a small business owner, I am very interested in hearing what you would like to see done---or not done?  Thanks     

I also understand what you are saying about the late '70s.  But I am not sure how realistic it is to expect the economy to do that well right now .  A lot of factors were in place then that simply are not in place now and may never be again.  This, or maybe a tad higher, may be what we can expect for quite some time.  Just not sure we will get the whipsaw effect that much.  We can just hope for steady climb upward and hope for no more steep drops like the early and late 2000s.  

The biggest deterrent to the overall economy  is a lack of clarity and vision coming out of Washington, a feeling that the parties are working to get us out of this low growth period...being my business is in a mature segment of the economy and you can understand my reluctance to invest in a few people...someone like trump with acknowledged business acumen may be good for the country or a disaster but hey can't be any worse than past 8 years

I gotcha.  Sometimes I think a do-nothing group up there is better than a group that will foul things up worse though. 

16 months till the election, trump making a lot of noise, he won't even make it to major debate, he's a sideshow until the real GOP candidates state their claims, I don't think Trump's really interested in becoming president anyway, it would be "unprofitable" for him, but this is good business for him for his name and his businesses, he's nothing but an excellent marketeer and entrepreneur and has enhanced his image tenfold in the last few months

well trump headed to laredo tx to talk with the union of border guards stationed there, guess non of those agents are former servicemen could be a bit chilly reception.

grahm finally had a few calls so he smashed his phone could of set up a chain calling center to seem like the man cared but blew it.
Perry was wondering where in his texas trump was going and trump stated the border
 Rand looking for some way to start another philibuster only way he can seem to raise a dime for his campaign.
bonehead said he will do everthing to fight the iran deal. which means he will stall not bring the subject up for a vote and world can get about their buisiness.
huck a baby declaring he will outlaw abortion and happy marriage some one should explain the constitution and the role of supreme court. but give em a break he went to public school. government wasnt a high priotity to graduate from the ozarks .
guess sarah's non wed daughter about to give birth to another out of wedlock grammy couldn't be prouder in alaska . guess family values are not taught the same there.
in the meantime

On Friday, Clinton’s campaign said it bought $7.7 million worth of television advertising time in early voting states, their first ad buy for the 2016 contest. In Iowa, where caucus goers cast the country’s first ballots, the campaign paid $3.6 million for time in all eight media markets that serve the state. An additional $4.1 million of airtime was purchased in New Hampshire, which holds the first primary

can they just gift wrap it for ice queen....

If Donald Trump tells it like it really is, than Mitch McConnell should be considered the poetic songbird of our generation.

well the donald response in laredo, dump trump, we dont like draft dodgers around here, he skipped the meeting with the union and flew back to nyc with a new spin i love latinos, and we should legalize immigration, and wait for it only sections of the iron curtain with mexico needs to be constructed , finally the biggest swing if i can not run with endorsement of the party i go it alone i dont need the money,

but donnie but donnie you need votes to win.....

||fingershake.gif' border=0>   Trump didn't skip the meeting with the National Border Patrol Council Local 2455 that invited him...the meeting was canceled by the national AFL-CIO-controlled union that represents U.S. Border Patrol agents, ..it was the union who backed out of the meeting at the last minute ..not Trump..

The Customs and Border Protection is an agency of Obama's Dept.of Homeland Security and AFL-CIO union President person Trumka and his union are a big Obama donors and supporters....Hmmmm

So, I guess you could say Trump was Trumka'ed.

okay afl cio didnt want the meeting, Donald is trying to win the republican nomination. he needs conservative voters to show up and vote for him.
conservative voters demographic, veterans, middle class soccer moms afraid their child is about to become a drug addict, rural  americans with the god and country guns , seniors. and successful buisiness men, and older black americans who dispise the dixiecrat. and catholics latinos who dispise the notion of their padre marring a happy couple. Donnie is having a tough time with successful buisiness men.

so  this path leads to a ross perot, splitting the parties vote between the tea party and the gop. and we end up with hillary. bernie goes the way of ralph/nader and lemarche ticket and we get Hillary, do we all start practising our madarin now or just wait for the election.

you can't be serious about supporting Donald Trump? This idiot says the same things over and over... We have to be great again! Hilary is a criminal! Get the illegal immigrants out!

this is actually what he says over and over again,

once He starts understand papers . The press is like Lobbyists and you buy air time at you can influence The editorial spin this message gets out un editted He wins.
He is the center, He wants our Jobs back, He wants to shut down the border illegal crossing, He wants to make tough deals with japan mexico and china. He understands currency manipulation and what free trade is actually doing.
He wants an insurance program that deals with the issue as it does social security to retirement.
and he wants to perserve social security for generations to come.
This msg can sell.

However i aint nieve , He is calling out republicans democrats threatening to disrupt trade with china , japan and mexico. Seriously challenging El chapo easy accesss to the american market and drug supply chains. any one of these enemies are a nail in coffin,
 .....all together this man just drew the ten of swords.....
