Trump is the guy that is dismantling the existing corruption.
Previously, Trump filed for corporate bankruptcy in 1991, 1992, 2004, and 2009.
As Trump stated in the interview, these Chapter 11 corporate bankruptcies were used to negotiate debt deals. After the deals were done, all of his companies went on to survive (and in some cases thrive).
We know how long this process is. Trump can't hold his tongue that long.
But, a billionaire who doesn't care is calling out everyone's dirty deeds.

To be honest, the notion scares the living hell out of me.
Last 2 elections Obama was elected as The People ignored his lack of background, his lack of experience, and instead just went for blind change.
This election...seems the same is happening on the other side of the aisle. Trump has experience bankrupting companies. That is what he has done extraordinarily well: bankrupted companies while extracting value from them. He doens't have experience successfully leading an enterprise. And if we translate his experience into the Oval Office, what he would be expected to bring is boom/bust cycles that the fiat debt system is designed to stave off.
If the republican base puts Trump up as their candidate, they will have completely lost any hope of having my support.
Yet missing from Trump’s retelling is that all four bankruptcies were high-profile embarrassments for his name-brand American empire. Amid some of the proceedings, the mogul poured in millions of dollars from his personal fortune to keep the restructurings alive.
To secure better deals or more time to pay off debts, Trump forfeited lucrative ownership stakes and allowed bankers, lawyers and bondholders to feast on his empire. In one deal involving hundreds of millions of dollars in debts he had personally guaranteed, he agreed to sell his airline and mega-yacht, and he allowed bankers to stipulate how much he could spend every month.
Trump has said his business acumen could help right a country “that’s essentially bankrupt,” and he has pointed to successful business leaders with histories in corporate-bankruptcy court, such as Carl Icahn and Leon Black, to back his point that the filings are a cost of doing business.
“We’ll have the company. We’ll throw it into a chapter. We’ll negotiate with the banks. We’ll make a fantastic deal,” Trump told ABC in 2011. “You know, it’s like on ‘The Apprentice.’ It’s not personal. It’s just business.”

These flash in the pan guys from the past. NEVER had the kind of numbers Trump has.
.
Not true.
In January of 2012 Newt Gingrich led Romney by 47% to 24% among self identified Republicans and by 40 to 26 percent among likely primary voters according to some polling.
Trump is only at around 20 percent or so now.
It's only a matter of time before he runs his trap and says something that kills his campaign.

Bush/Clinton Cabal.
If you believe in fixed elections, I don't believe that is a possibility....If you think elections are honest, I hope that is the truth because if I was forced to pick one it is Hillary without a doubt and I even hate saying that out loud...I despise the Bush family that much! I would vote a 10 year old in before another Bush

I was shocked yesterday when the Donald said his favorite book was the Bible.
I am having a real hard time believing that one.

I didnt pick Trump to express my displeasure with the bastards running this Country.
I got nobody else. All I see is Cowards. All I see is people trying to line their pockets.
I got friggin nobody. Cause, I'm pissed off. I want everyone of them gone...NOW.
All I got is one vote....No Candidate expresses how pissed off I am at these Criminals.
He's got no experience in public service, he's never won an election even to be a dogcatcher, he's got no policy, he has terrible credentials as a conservative---you might as well be backing Kim Kardashian
