Knock it off about the casinos.

No-one else could make money there, either.

Merv Griffen split the pie with Donald Trump — and he lost his shirt too.

Indeed, the ENTIRE Atlantic City ‘industry’ has proved to be a black hole.

Every player that’s touched has been burned.

The only logical reason is that the skim by the NJ mob has proved to be unstoppable.

This can be done outside the counting room — by compelling the casinos to buy essential services from mobbed up businesses.

EG — EVERY trash collector in NY City is mobbed up.

If you’ve ever been to Manhattan you’ll see the most pristine garbage trucks on the planet.

They can afford to lavish paint and wax jobs on that fleet — because it’s a mobbed up cartel.

Similar antics haunt Atlantic City.

I have to break ranks.

NOTHING in Trump’s profile fits tyrant.

Whereas everything in Barry’s profile fits tyrant.

He is the absolute opposite of meglamaniac.

His troops — 22,000 employees swear by him — not at him.

He’s the absolute opposite of Hillary Rodham-Clinton-Goldman-Sachs.

She dumps on the ‘small people’ ALL the time.

There is NO COMPARISON as to who you’d want in the Big Chair.

Hillary has PLENTY of tics that indicate that she’s a natural born tyrant.

Trump’s critical flaw is that he has too much BAGGAGE.

Even if I’m right about a Trump Presidency — his baggage and the lock-stop Left, MSM, HRC kamp will beat him up like a rented mule.

The John Oliver hit piece is merely a foretaste of the bitter brew to be served.

The Deep State, K Street, Wall Street — ALL of them actually want Trump as a candidate — as they are sure that they can beat him — or turn him.

Either way, reason enough to rally to Ted Cruz.

He really IS the cure for the Washington Cartel.

And as the race tightens, Ted is surging in the tabulations.

Only two fellows are mucking things up:

Rubio and Kasich.

Neither has ANY route to the nomination. Both are FAR to close to the GOPe and HRC on policy to be accepted.

&&&&&&&

Most of the flak Trump is getting is due to the MSM spin machine.

Trump does not have the clever mind to parry the Press.

Ted Cruz does.

It’s why the Press has imposed a black out on Ted.

He’s too frustrating for them to deal with.

The more he gets exposure, the more the public rallies to him.

Between the two candidates — Trump is plainly the inferior nominee. He’s not a monster — just the fellow that Hillary WANTS to run against.

Meaning he’s McCain and Romney redux.

If you’ll recall, the Press loved both during the primaries.

After the convention, both were flipped into villains.

Trump will be EASY to flip over into villain mode, illustrated in this thread.

He just won’t make it.

My objection to Trump is nowhere near as simple as “he is an asshole.” Of course, it depends on your definition of “asshole,” but to me it implies a bit more fool than knave.

I think “knave” when I think of Trump. I think that, in addition to his character flaws (that what I think of when I think “asshole”), Trump has no interest in small government or the Constitution (except perhaps the 2nd Amendment) and is a classic strongman who will take as much power as he can. That’s some of the “knave” part, and that just scratches the surface of my objections.

So whom do you support – Hillary or Bernie? Or does the Chaos and Anarchy Party have a candidate this year?

Let’s see:
Trump, not a day in the oval office and the power that goes with it and already he’s a Hitler/NAZI/tyrant, etc.
Cruz, not a day in the oval office and the power that goes with it and he’s the second coming of Reagan.
Do you hum “Day Dream Believer” when you fantasize about Cruz?

Based on the perspectives of their past history, their records, their associations, their demonstrated principles, honor, honesty, ethics, morals , character or lack of them – you know, that crap that told thinking people exactly what Obama would be like, and what Trump will be like but is also being ignored by his supporters, you’ve summed up the future quite well. Do you have an orgasm and cluck with approval during your nightly viewing of “1984?” (I can play personal insult, too.)

Facing a Democrat Senate! How had the Republican Senate stymied BHO.

Now it’s the Republicans fault, since it would obviously be stupid to blame conservatives for not stopping Obama.

You’ve complained about SCOTUS above, which was my point about Trump facing a Democrat Senate. Even if McConnell grows a pair and a spine, do you believe he will stall Obama’s nominee for ten months? Let’s say he does, and Trump wins and Schumer is now Majority Leader. He will definitely prevent Trump from getting his nominee approved for the following two years unless they’re to the left of his sister.

But everything is negotiable, right? Let’s assume Schumer will accept a centrist nominee, say, another O’Connor, Kennedy, Stevens, or Souter (in which case we lose anyway, only slower.) What does the toughest negotiator in history get in return – approval for online gambling, maybe, or a law expanding eminent domain to allow crony capitalists to take the properties of others without the government middleman?

Here is food for thought: how can a casino go bankrupt when the odds always favor the house? I have never owned a casino nor set foot in one, but I can see only a few possibilities to explain how a casino goes bankrupt.

1. The casino was built in a location where there are too few potential players to fleece. So much for hiring the best people. 2. The casino was poorly managed and unable to compete with other casinos in the local market place. So much for hiring the best people. 3. Larceny and fraud. So much for brilliant (YUGE!) business acumen.

Finally, any businessman who thinks his name if worth 3 billion has never met Soros, Buffet, and a few hundred others.

You seem positively belligerent to my notion that you have been harmed not a hair by Trump. You may of course, hate him, belittle him, jump up and down on an effigy of him, but don’t tell me his lies have done you wrong or his shit stinks more than what SCOTUS regularly evacuates in a session… it’s just not so.

And for what it’s worth, I am not a Trumpster. All my comments regarding him have been a defense of him on principle — he’s done plenty to warrant disdain of him but nothing by which he may be indicted in the court of public opinion as Hitlerian, NAZI, or tyrant. One may warrant the indictment, but not by dint of being a mere asshole. I’ve also asserted he has a superior read, better than any of the other candidates, on the mood of the rank and file GOPsters. This, I believe, is incontrovertible — sum the delegates if you doubt me. Otherwise, I have not presumed to foist him on to anyone. After all, I’m not the GOP.

How hilarious, now you have hyperbole and melodrama on your shoes.

I have a real life, and its time to walk the dogs and pick up their shit. Dog shit, pig, sheep, chicken, cattle shit; I’ve dealt with all forms of shit, including BS, from farm boy to old age. I know shit when I see/smell it. I also know when I have stepped in it. I offer free lessons, come to NE Iowa for a one day conference, bring your fellow trumpsters.

Yes, I am teasing, but you seem in need of an intervention.

You warn me about melodrama? How amusing! Trump is melodrama every second of his waking day, and he dreams in melodrama of his greatness. 😉 My manly chest and belly have plenty of grey hairs. Thank you for paying homage to my manly chest. 🙂

Trump is a braggart, someone should have set his ass on the ground 55 years ago, or perhaps that happened and he has been hiding behind his bellicose persona ever after. Lack of ability to see the donald for what he is, is a sure sign one so blind should not warn others about “melodrama” when they trumpet the virtues of the queen of melodrama.

Let’s see:
Trump, not a day in the oval office and the power that goes with it and already he’s a Hitler/NAZI/tyrant, etc.
Cruz, not a day in the oval office and the power that goes with it and he’s the second coming of Reagan.
Do you hum “Day Dream Believer” when you fantasize about Cruz?
