    The Trump organization has 515 Subsidiaries.

    515.

    You do the math. To think he would have the capacity to be 100% in management of all of them is absolutely absurd and I am surprised given the fact that you like to point out his supporters as "idiots".

    I mean, you might as well just realize that he invested in companies and most worked and a few failed. That is really all this is. There is no way a single person could manage all of that by themselves. No way.

    Interesting, but totally wrong. Not sure where the 515 came from but let's assume it's accurate. How many of those 515 required the operation and management of properties consisting of layers of numerous employers and continuous business operations. I don't know the answer but I bet it's less than 20. 4 of those went bankrupt and im not sure there wrre many more than those 4. And of the other 495, just because they didn't go bankrupt doesn't mean they were successful. Would you call trump steaks a success? What about Trump airlines? Trump magazine?

    Do you know what a subsidiary is?

    DO you actually think Trump woke up every day at 5 am and checked into his office at Trump Airlines?

    Go do some research.

    No one ever claimed the man to be a business genius, but is apparent people like you and others have ZERO clue how he made his money.

    So all his successes are his and his failures are not. Makes sense.

    I never said that but you CLEARLY do not know what a subsidiary is.

    Take Warren Buffet for example. Another good businessman. He has companies that have ALSO filed for bankruptcy.

    It is a tool.

    keep underestimating, @kcal

    Clinton's electorate isn't nearly as passionate as Trump's (see the record number turning out for the Republican primaries)

    Black folk aren't voting for a black President this time around, enough will stay home to cost her the election


    Trump will do much better with the Latino vote than anyone could possibly imagine (see Nevada)

    I know what a subsidiary is Skippy. Buffett owns stakes in most companies and doesn't run them. Those are not subsidiaries, they are equity positions. Trump own and ran all of his companies until they were in trouble then dumped the stock so he could say he owned very little. Shockingly, he managed to sell off huge chunks of his businesses before they went bust. Some call that good business others call it being unethical.

    Then refresh yourself buddy. Berkshire Hathaway companies have filed Chapter 11.

    Even GOP mastermind Romney.

    LOL All you typed has been proved false.

    You saying "ran the company" is not the same as a business owner "running" a company.

    i'm not underestimating trump...he clearly is a master at promotion. i think you and others may be underestimating them. the deck is stacked (gop leadership, billery, and media) and trump can't speak to the issues in a way he must going forward.
    i also think the dems and mods will galvanize against trump in an unprecedented way.
