Then he will be hated by both parties.

Unless he finds a rationalization I don't think his ego can stand it. Every time he appears in public somewhere is going to remind him of what a "choker" he is.

I have to wonder about the Republican party's introspection after the loss.

But he is such a sad and pathetic creature, I do feel sympathy for him. The man is clearly mentally ill. It was cruel of the RNC to give him a platform in the first place, when he should be having treatment. Now he is a danger to all of us, when he should be in a padded room. All that money he took from his Daddy, all that first-class education - what a waste.

It was pretty obvious when you make asses of yourself and your family it might effect the business. What did they think the anti Muslim stuff dipshit has said would help them on their middle east attempts on ventures over there? He has been used as a recruiting ad for isis. They have been watching ads that specifies trump. As far as that goes it could even make their hotels here and overseas a target. What do they think would happen if daddy dipshit became prez.? How tempting do they think would a big trump sign in front of a hotel would be as a target? A direct hit on a prez. dipshit asset would be great for them.


Then add all the others he has insulted. Was that a winning strategy for attracting more people?

When the Trump family stood isolated on the stage, while Bill and Hillary were out among the audience hugging people, shaking hands and receiving a warm welcome from most of the audience. After a few awkward minutes, the Trump clan walked off the stage.

All will be well when Daddy takes over the WH and has the power to kill the economy. Then children, you can once again feast on the resulting victims of misfortune.

And that's a serious question . . . what businesses are the Trump children running?

I know Ivanka has a line of clothing and shoes that are copied from other designs and made in China, but, what do the other kids do?

Just as their father used his father's success as the muscle behind all of his deals I have no doubt that the boys use the Trump name as a bludgeon in any business transaction they are involved in. Without that name they would be selling miniature drones from a kiosk in the mall.

When I was watching apprentice series.

She was much smarter than her brother.
It is kind of telling that she lost her friends.
In other words, her friends were more normal human being, maybe materially spoiled.

She reminded me of her mother than Trump.

Well, she lost her reputation by helping her dad.

I still cannot dislike her as much as I really detest the rest of Trump family.

After losing the election, they will really lose their business.

Trump business was based of his 'media brand'.
There were lots of people like me who used to enjoyed him as an entertainer.
Like watching one of those Real wives. ( I have to admit that New York one used to
be my guilty pleasure. )

Please do not hate me because I used to enjoy apprentice show.
Then, Trump played a role of serious business man and I bought that.

Well, now I know who real Trump is and that is awfully ugly.

Ivanka, but I have always had a fairly positive opinion of her since I saw her in a documentary on children of extremely rich and visible parents. She had some intelligent things to say. She is between a rock and a hard place on this one. Placed there, of course, by her father.

She certainly doesn't want to come out and denounce him, he is her father. On the other hand, attached to him she sinks if he does through no fault of her own. Her silver spoon may turn out to be a double edged sword.

She's a member of NYC's glitterati. They have an 'image' to maintain. How could she not think the Bergdorf Blondes and Ladies Who Lunch would dump her over her support of her father.


Image, image, image.

You know like after the debate when Clinton went right to the audience, smiling & shaking hands. Touching people with bare hands!

Trumps 'gang' stood at back of the stage, ring around daddy looking for the exit to the private media area.
