Subject: Re: "Trump Is A F--king Moron!" ~Rex Tillers
I know you don't mean that quoted statement literally. What I find bewildering is that voters can look at Trump's litany of failures and think: Let's hitch America's wagon to the shining star that is Trump.

I did mean it literally. But I meant it from the point of view of Trump and the folks who are involved in his business (the real estate development) rather than the casino business. His business is the development of the project, not whether the project works on an ongoing basis.

Voters didn't think he was a failure. Some of the businesses he was part of developing failed, to be sure - but after Silicon Valley worked its way into the American concept of business, that's not a negative mark anymore. Nowadays, if you've never failed, you've never taken enough risks. In a political environment where voters were looking for a change candidate, rather than a status quo candidate, that was a huge plus.
