Even if there was nothing else, this one sentence should be more than sufficient to make a decision in this election.
If Donald were such a good businessman, he wouldn’t have to seek out Russian investors. His wealthy New York neighbors would be providing all the money needed. Of course, New Yorkers know Drumpf and therefore won’t invest with Drumpf companies.
It is completely unlike Dishonest Don to not be pushing out a tweetstorm when he’s taking fire like Panetta, Biden and Bloomberg have served up tonight. He’s either going to have a stroke or there will be a twitter tornado tomorrow the likes of which the world has never seen.
ETA:
Senator Tim Kaine, former governor of New Jersey Virginia is joining the Trumpapalooza. “You can’t believe a word that comes out of his [Dishonest Don’s] mouth. Not one word!”
American banks (Deutsche Bank omitted) won’t lend Dishonest Don a dime. The Donald Risk is simply too great – and yes, they refer to it as the Donald Risk.
Right now, it is Tim Kaine speaking. If the nation heard Biden, then Bloomberg, then Kaine, and I trust Obama to come, there might be a chance, just a chance, that the Trump nightmare might begin to recede. The Bloomberg piece may be central. Josh asks when a core Republican will defect; please.
Edit: oops, it was supposed to be a reply @mbodlomane
I am wondering (hoping against hope) if there will be one or two a day after convention? Right following today’s disastrous press conference and tomorrow’s Clinton speech they will have some cover.
I hope you’re right. But Republicans seem to me to be moral cowards, every one of them. Look at the shit Cornyn was shoveling today about the Iran deal. Listen to Jefferson Davis Beauregard Sessions and the garbage he’s shoveling.
This crowd needs to be swept into the dustbin of history for the safety of all of us.
I know, I am not too optimistic. But Friday will probably be the best
moment for those who values the country above the party, as well as
those who want to salvage the party that used to be a party of Lincoln.
Believe me, as a lifelong New Yorker I can attest to his 40 years of awfulness. From the housing discrimination case to gutting and not living up to an agreement preserving historic artifacts at Bergdorf Goodman, fighting with Ed Koch who rightly called him Piggy to his ugly race baiting regarding the Central Park jogger case. Trump has been a gold plated blight on this city.
I am beginning to think that he destroyed Bonwit-Teller because one of the sales clerks disrespected his mother or something.
He dumped sewage in the Hudson because he wanted everyone to buy Trump brand water.
Bloomberg made a powerful appeal to independents and Republicans. I hope excerpts from this speech are used as campaign videos.
That, and his critique of Trump’s self promoted image as a business success have surely burrowed well under Donald’s thin skin.
Literally the only reason Trump won New York was that it was pretty much him or Cruz, and Cruz shot himself in the balls with his snide little ‘New York values’ crack.
Some days, I really miss Ed Koch.
I know there were days when he could be quite irritating but he did have his moments. I wish he stuck around a few more years to call out Trump.
When Bloomberg said that, my son and I looked at each other and said, “It’s totally pathetic that anyone can say that and be absolutely serious about it.”
The article quotes the last two lines, but misses the full passage, which deserves to be repeated, often:
Throughout his career, Trump has left behind a well-documented record of bankruptcies, lawsuits, and angry shareholders and contractors who feel cheated, as well as disillusioned customers who feel ripped off. He says he wants to run the nation like he has run his business. God help us.
Bloomberg eviscerated Trump last night. It was a sight to behold. In business circles, Bloomberg is highly respected. As Bloomberg aid last night, he did not need a $1 million check to start his business. Trump did. And he highlighted that any respected business relied on the good name developed with who you worked with. @misterneuron above summed up where Bloomberg went from there.
Bloomberg is highly respected in business circles–even in corporate middle management where I spent my career. This will resonate in those circles. The ads using clips from this speech will be devastating in the fall campaign. Americans do not like cheats and false bluster…no way, no how.
