A Trump Empire Built on Inside Connections and $885 Million in Tax Breaks
The search for the perfectly unblemished GOP candidate will continue until the end of time. The left will remind us all of that every four years. Nobody will ever be good enough for them, so what the hell are we worried about? We hear the same drumbeat every election.
Why don't you tell us why he would make a good president? I can't wait for your whiny snarky response. 😛

I already have. More than once.
You guys seem WAY more interested in why he wouldn't be a good Scoutmaster or Eagle Scout.
WFC?

You're right. So why all the talk of what Bill Clinton did years ago? Why would Trump, the scoutmaster march several women out prior to the recent debate who allegedly had encounters with Bill. Trump seems very interested in Bill not being "a good Scoutmaster or Eagle Scout."
Relevant for Bill; not for Trump?

No you haven't. All you have said was that "he deserves a chance". Nothing about his ideas or how he would implement them. All you have done is attack Hillary and liberals.

You're asking the wrong person. I haven't talked about what Bill did. I voted for him and still think he was a pretty good president.

Totally wrong again. I have laid out my case for Trump on multiple occasions here in clear detail. In addition, I've listed planks in his platform that I agree with. I don't believe you missed those posts the way you follow me around this forum, but if you did, tough t!tty.
Now that you mention it though, what's strangely absent are similar posts regarding Ms. Clinton, instead we have 67 anti-Trump threads. Your last sentence is downright weird. Who's going to step up and do something besides bashing Trump?

Not me. I'm not supporting Hillary, but I believe that electing Trump POTUS would be the worst mistake this country could make since...well, since ever.

You are lying again and you have the track record that proves it. Remember Strasberg, Bobby Cox intentional walk? Remember your Hillary will drop out health topic? If you really had posted your case for Trump, you would have done it again now. As for following you, I am hardly the only one who points out your lack of substance. This is an open forum. If you don't like the responses you get, don't post. If you do post, expect anyone and everyone to respond.

It's just all so...unfair. Sniff, sniff. Poor wittle GOP wouldn't have a bad thing to say about anyone but look how they are treated...just so tragic and sad. 🙁

1. You overlooked the gist of the Strasburg post, which was that the Braves knew that Stras can't deal with hot weather and they cooked him whenever the got the chance. Multiple needless throws to first and what not. If you asked Bobby Cox he would probably remember that game. The broadcasters certainly would because they were commenting on it. I was a little fuzzy on the details, that's all, but the gist of the story and the actual ocurrence is absolutely 100% truth. Everybody else got it.
In the Hillary health thread, that was a theory put forth by me. I was lying about a theory? Is this really all you have?
2. Why should I do what's already been done multiple times? If you're that interested, go find it. Nobody else follows me around this forum. Your're alone in that category.
3. Thanks for the pointers and brilliant advice, friend.

This Billionaire Governor Taxed the Rich and Increased the Minimum Wage — Now, His State’s Economy Is One of the Best in the Country
The next time your right-wing family member or former high school classmate posts a status update or tweet about how taxing the rich or increasing workers’ wages kills jobs and makes businesses leave the state, I want you to send them this article.
When he took office in January of 2011, Minnesota governor Mark Dayton inherited a $6.2 billion budget deficit and a 7 percent unemployment rate from his predecessor, Tim Pawlenty, the soon-forgotten Republican candidate for the presidency who called himself Minnesota’s first true fiscally-conservative governor in modern history. Pawlenty prided himself on never raising state taxes — the most he ever did to generate new revenue was increase the tax on cigarettes by 75 cents a pack. Between 2003 and late 2010, when Pawlenty was at the head of Minnesota’s state government, he managed to add only 6,200 more jobs.
During his first four years in office, Gov. Dayton raised the state income tax from 7.85 to 9.85 percent on individuals earning over $150,000, and on couples earning over $250,000 when filing jointly — a tax increase of $2.1 billion. He’s also agreed to raise Minnesota’s minimum wage to $9.50 an hour by 2018, and passed a state law guaranteeing equal pay for women. Republicans like state representative Mark Uglem warned against Gov. Dayton’s tax increases, saying, “The job creators, the big corporations, the small corporations, they will leave. It’s all dollars and sense to them.” The conservative friend or family member you shared this article with would probably say the same if their governor tried something like this. But like Uglem, they would be proven wrong.
Between 2011 and 2015, Gov. Dayton added 172,000 new jobs to Minnesota’s economy — that’s 165,800 more jobs in Dayton’s first term than Pawlenty added in both of his terms combined. Even though Minnesota’s top income tax rate is the fourth highest in the country, it has the fifth lowest unemployment rate in the country at 3.6 percent. According to 2012-2013 U.S. census figures, Minnesotans had a median income that was $10,000 larger than the U.S. average, and their median income is still $8,000 more than the U.S. average today.
By late 2013, Minnesota’s private sector job growth exceeded pre-recession levels, and the state’s economy was the fifth fastest-growing in the United States. Forbes even ranked Minnesota the ninth best state for business (Scott Walker’s “Open For Business” Wisconsin came in at a distant #32 on the same list). Despite the fearmongering over businesses fleeing from Dayton’s tax cuts, 6,230 more Minnesotans filed in the top income tax bracket in 2013, just one year after Dayton’s tax increases went through. As of January 2015, Minnesota has a $1 billion budget surplus, and Gov. Dayton has pledged to reinvest more than one third of that money into public schools. And according to Gallup, Minnesota’s economic confidence is higher than any other state.
Gov. Dayton didn’t accomplish all of these reforms by shrewdly manipulating people — this article describes Dayton’s astonishing lack of charisma and articulateness. He isn’t a class warrior driven by a desire to get back at the 1 percent — Dayton is a billionaire heir to the Target fortune. It wasn’t just a majority in the legislature that forced him to do it — Dayton had to work with a Republican-controlled legislature for his first two years in office. And unlike his Republican neighbor to the east, Gov. Dayton didn’t assert his will over an unwilling populace by creating obstacles between the people and the vote — Dayton actually created an online voter registration system, making it easier than ever for people to register to vote.
The reason Gov. Dayton was able to radically transform Minnesota’s economy into one of the best in the nation is simple arithmetic. Raising taxes on those who can afford to pay more will turn a deficit into a surplus. Raising the minimum wage will increase the median income. And in a state where education is a budget priority and economic growth is one of the highest in the nation, it only makes sense that more businesses would stay.
It’s official — trickle-down economics is bunk. Minnesota has proven it once and for all. If you believe otherwise, you are wrong.

I know, right? But in fairness I wasn't expecting that you would even bother to read it, never mind letting any of it penetrate the gateway to your closed mind.
Be careful, gondi. Pretty soon alloak will start crying about how you follow him around just to comment on his highly thoughtful snark.

Actually, he's accused me of doing that before so I must admit that I was a little hurt when he said you were the only one.

That is a link to the only game that Strasberg pitched against the Braves when Cox was manager. Check it out. He was never on base. You lied. Again.
