Lol have you been in pm with vendtre and now tag teaming threads?

I just now read this.  No, I've never spoken to him/her.  We are beyond high school type antics like that.

What about John Kasich?  Just asking the question here.

He was my choice and got my vote.  He cut taxes in Ohio, he defunded Planned Parenthood in Ohio...2 things that all of them talk about but only one has actually done. 

He was done in by the mere fact he had experience thus was seen as part of the "establishment".  Politics is the only profession it seems where experience is a bad thing.  You don't see people picking doctors or mechanics with no experience.

Defunded planned parenthood?????   That is a major success...  an answer to prayer!   Tell me why Christians aren't all in favor of thi guy?  Or is it more that they actually are, and he media is telling us evangelicals are flocking to that other moron?   Media always does want to make Christians looks stupid.

How many times are people going to keep repeating the same false information?

Trump's company was not a "new company, it was multi hundred million dollar company he got from his father. 

Only 5% of companies that size go bankrupt, and no company that size had ever filed bankruptcy more than twice, let alone 4 times.

Trump has many companies.....    so show me where the company he took over from his father that declared bankruptcy.......

His 4 bankruptcy cases were all in the casino/hotel businesses   Indian Casinos are a major part of the problem in that industry....  

I also do not know how much control Trump had in the day to day running of the 4 casinos that did have to restructure.  Nor does it really matter to me concerning that industry and it's failure causes.  So you can rant on how bad Trump is in business, but I see him as having the skills in keeping failing businesses open and operating.......    which is what I expect him to do with the USA.   The USA has been insolvent since 1939 and we are on the edge of failure.  We need his expertise.

 

So I say that I am still correct in that new businesses fail at the rate of 50% in this country, and that stastic does not exclude large companies in the data.

Yeah, the media are trying to make people vote for Trump.   You need to watch American news before making such a statement.  And calling Trump a 'moron' shows your bias.  But I still don't know why you are all up in arms; you don't live here.

I would not consider him a great business man.  He was born into wealth and privilege and yet somehow managed to go bankrupt.... twice.   I don't know why they can't, at this point, come up with someone better.  Seems ridiculous doesn't it?   Evangelicals are a huge voting block in the block.  They are watching and believe they have their man because Christians, or some, have embraced Trump.  Personally I think ya'll should say you won't vote unless they provide a real stand up guy who has integrity, decency, smarts, self control etc ... not this arrogant mess of a man. 

Well, personally, I doubt if Americans are going to look outside our borders for advice on who to vote for.  Please stop throwing personal insults at our candidate.

Sure I would be interested. But I usually do not comment on the politics of another country because it is not my business. Im not there, I cant see how their politics affects them. So I find it bizarre (and annoying) that someone from another country would try to sway any american. Someone not in the us cannot understand what is going on. Any more than I can grasp what is going on in your country. 

I agree, A.J.  But, on a positive note, it tells us how interesting we are!    Seriously though, I have no problem with nonamericans showing interest or commenting on the issues.  I DO have a problem when they start downgrading our candidates and trying to tell us who we should or shouldn't vote for.

Ok, so I guess no one here, especially you, on Worthy, comments or has any opinions on Israel or Palestine.... none of your business, right?  And certainly you cannot grasp what's going on unless you live there either, correct?  

 

Of course Americans have opinions about, and comment on, what goes on in other countries.  I've never seen anyone on this board, or any other one, take up arms against a candidate outside of the U.S.  That is just incomprehensible to me.

I actually kind of knew the media are trying to make people vote for Trump.  I wanted it to dawn on some folks here that way as a knew revelation.   I was actually being kind there...   And hopeful.  

All the media has to do is show his followers.... and his following.  Show that evangelicals are following..  that's all it takes.  That's how ISIS gathers followers.  Again, that's why I came here.  I didn't really believe that evangelicals were actually following him.  I came to see for myself. 

And it's funny to think that you don't even realize we DO get American news here.    Yes, we get CNN, FOX, Oprah...   rofl.  We even have the Internet here in Canada!  

Again, I went through the many reasons why I am concerned.  Are you concerned about Israel?  I wonder.... You shouldn't be.. Not only do you not live there, but it's so very far away too!
