her husband made some inroads but she is a pariah now by all accounts...Trump desperately want their acceptance and never got it...no one will do business with him in New York or even in Atlanta where he had questionable business. In fact, there was a time in one of my Dad's building that he worked with the mob...no choice back then in that industry. He told my brother even the mob thought Trump was a doofus. My Dad never asked for any favors and always made sure he never owed anyone.

One of the reasons he got out of that business was the mob connections. He was a brilliant engineer and actually invented the first carbohydrate based insulation that did not contain formaldehyde and could be blown in...he designed the applicator also. He actually bought books on the subject (taught himself Organic Chemistry) and experimented in our basement after the current offerings made my Mom sick and had to be ripped out.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
