Interesting background data from Libertybelle. I’ll be sure to read that source and archive it.

@neo-neocon: We seem to be going in circles. You say Trump is mean and nasty because he buys and sells politicians. I say he does what every CEO of a large corporation has to do: donate to politicians to buy access. He may still be mean and nasty for all the other reasons you cite, but donating to politicians doesn’t make him mean and nasty and he doesn’t donate to politicians because he is mean and nasty. He is or was part of a corrupt system. That’s the point I was trying to make.

Anyway, I’ll shut up now.

Regardless, Trump is the New Obama in terms of his supporters doing insidious things, troll-like, to quiet dissenters. Shame on them.

@ PatD: I’ve rechecked the links and all the articles not in favor of Trump published on Feb. 1st cannot be reached. Articles before that date are accessible.

PatD: Once again, you are not understanding what I'm saying. I was responding to your comment at 2:03 PM where you wrote to me: "You fail to understand that the political class is totally corrupt." I have already responded to that here. I think my response was pretty clear, and yet it seems to puzzle you. Nothing I have said indicates you need to explain how the system works or that I fail to understand it, as I explained to you already here. There is no logical connection between my point of view and your conclusion that I don't understand how the system works and you need to explain it. I don't know whether you are actually a troll or just find it hard to follow an argument. I don't mean to be insulting, but I don't know how else to state it. I've spent more time explaining to you that your arguments are irrelevant than I care to spend. This isn't about disagreeing on Trump. This is about something else.

@neo-neocon: I understand your points. I just don't agree with some of them. I don't see what is illogical in explaining how the system works. As I make clear, I'm just quoting Peter Schweizer, who has researched and documented how the system works. I suppose that makes him illogical, too. BTW, I have no idea where Schweizer stands on Trump. He may loathe him as much as you do.

@GRA – My wife got that nasty fake support pop-up there.

One of the Trump articles gives a 404 error. The other Trump links (one pro, one against) work.

@Oldflyer: There was one mistake – investing in Atlantic City. It resulted in four bankruptcies.

Anyone been to American Thinker today?

As of 1:32PM, February 1, 2016, all of the articles either questioning or criticizing Trump’s POTUS run cannot be reached. They are all met with a 404 error (non-existent link). All the articles supporting Trump or neutral can be reached. Articles commenting on foreign policy are victims of the 404 error as well (foreign policy not Trump’s forte).

PatD:

You are illogical, among other things.

I don’t fail to understand political corruption. What I said about Trump indicates that I understand it only too well—he’s been a prime mover and shaker in that system, from the other end of it. Trump does what Trump thinks will favor Trump. That’s the entire purpose of his life, that and gaining power.

You fail to understand the points I’ve made over and over, and I no longer have the time to explain them to you, patiently, again and again. Your goal may be to tire people out that way.
