Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Not a white person holding one of them. You're assuming they actually acknowledge the existence of people of color.

 

I wonder if you might address two things: 1) How an alum of the Rutgers law school wound up holding an endowed professorship at Harvard Law; and 2) how someone with a not-outlandish annual salary managed to parlay that into a net worth in excess of $10 million.

One of the systems might indeed be rigged as you say. But there are a lot of systems, and some of them are rigged in ways you're conveniently overlooking.

 

The primary reason that she is a "horrible candidate" is that she has been attacked by your side (mostly on ginned-up charges or wishes) for 30 years. People start believing all that crap.

Granted, she is not perfect. But she is an exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced Democratic candidate for president.

 

Dick Whitman ... from 47-percenter to one-percenter seeking tax relief in 20 short years ...

 

Be corrupt long enough, you should be pretty good at it.

 

But her being attacked was not new. If she loses to Trump, then it was a spectacular failure by Democrats to not spend the last eight years grooming other candidates.

If she wins, no problem. Because winners win.

 

And Donald Trump is not corrupt because he hasn't held office, I guess.

 

Of course the Dems didn't groom other candidates. They didn't want to end up like Vince Foster.

 

People make the jump to the CHYMPS all the time, right, after getting their Ph.D.s at Iowa or Minnesota.

 

"You lefties ... " LOLZ.

I want the GOP to hold true to its conservatism. I want it to be a Party of Ideas led by serious people.

If that makes me a lefty, then WTF is Trump!?!

 

How about a few smart real estate investment? How about not buying things and saving? My dad was a union worker for 40 years who served and used his GI bill on trade school. Instead of drinking or smoking or even going out to dinner or buying a latte, he took his lunch pail to work, drove the same car for 20+ years, and every so often he and my mom would buy a rental; not a new refrigerator, not a fancy vacation (or any). Well after 30 years they had a portfolio nearing what you describe. So under your analysis, you'd say something is shaky because how could a 10th grade educated person amass that?

A Rutgers grad ending up at Harvard? Not that big a deal. Is that the norm? No. But I'm not so arrogant as to think that just because I went to a higher ranked school than another that I'm better/smarter than everyone else at a lower ranked school. You're just picking at possibilities and making idle speculation and erring on the side of what you think the answer should be. To me that's wrong. I'll give her (and everyone else) the benefit of the doubt unless I know the answer.

 

In all seriousness, you'd see the place becoming a cancer cluster. There was one in a neighborhood in the city I grew up caused my groundwater contamination of a local well.
