    Look, he did it for America. And he has a smoke show of a wife. He's so rich, dude. He doesn't need to steal at all. 40 percent, easy. Make America less brown, again.

    Eh, just get religion, and his problems will go away. Blessed are the bean eaters.

    Why stop there? If we're imagining crimes, shouldn't we imagine that he raped and murdered a 15-year-old girl?

    He's never denied it.

    37% in that scenario too.

    No need to imagine.
    The candidate himself already told us he could shoot someone on 5th Ave. and not lose voters.

    Really, YF ? Really with this guy ?

    If he does not reimburse himself, which is yet to be seen, you can bet that he finds a way to use it as a tax advantage.

    Do you regularly ignore opportunities to use the tax code to your benefit?

    He'll end up in the black from this, mark my words.

    The point is that at a minimum he is running party business through his companies, and no one believes that he's not doing so at a profit. IF the money he's put in is not reimbursed (and remember how he made such a big deal that he was going to run this entire campaign on his own money ["I'm very rich!"] and he could not be bought or influenced?) he's still going to find a way to make out on it.

    As to my taxes, I don't make enough to have to worry about making my deductions dance and sing.

    Maybe I'm just too jaded, but Trump would hardly be the first person to run for (or be elected to) public office and somehow magically increase his net worth by millions while earning six figures from his "day job."

    He'd be the only one not to.

    You're taking this the wrong way. I'm agreeing with you here. As you've pointed out, Hillary's position is precarious. People don't like her. I think that her poll numbers have a lower floor than Trump, who people like.
