Pretty much but some are brunettes. Ailes likes pretty girls.
They do tend to say dumb **** tho.

Trump did not help himself on the right by picking a fight with Kelly.
You don't want to be a republican candidate that Fox goes after.
I still think he is going to tell us he doesn't have time to be
president soon because his business interests are to demanding on him.

That sounds about right. Either that or all the new lawsuits he has
initiated against people who don't respect him is taking up too much of
his time.

Read last night that his top political adviser and long time friend
Roger Stone has left the campaign. Trump says Stone was fired. Stone
says he quit, saying he could no longer deal with Trump's adversarial
attitude and style in his campaign.

Have to admit though, Trump's places in Atlantic City were impressive
when they were in their prime. One of my stops on the way to Florida
with the boat was the Trump Marina/Casino. I don't particularly care for
those places though. Gives me a creepy feeling watching all the retired
people blowing their money trying to hit it big.

I was in AC real early in the gambling game. The guys spent a night at
Ballys and moved enough chips to get a couple of rooms comped.
Although I broke about even Bally lost money on us.

We also decided to see what was outside the casino.
I knew then that this was a doomed "rejuvenation" of that slum city.
As soon as you walked out of the casino, the place was a **** hole and
there were not many people even adventuring outside.

I was in AC in the early 80's. You were definitely correct about built in
failure. Growing up and visiting Reno often as a kid. Dad liked to
gamble, mom watched shows, the overall town was clean, not a nasty,
dangerous slum looking area next to the casinos.

I think the main reason why New Jersey could not duplicate the success
of Nevada was because gambling was suddenly everywhere and they
started with a large built in population of welfare addicted poor
people.
In the late 40s and early 50s, Nevada was sparsely populated and the
people who came , came there for the casino business. If they couldn't
make it, they moved back where they came from.
The slums in AC were already there and they had more low skill people
than they had jobs for. The senior management came in with the casino
companies and sent most of the money back out of state.

I see it as being similar to the "spring training baseball" scam the
northern clubs have foisted off on southern towns. The promised jobs
bonanza and economic stimulus never seems to bear fruit. A few rich
people get a little richer but little of it trickles down to the
community.

Trump was just a metaphor for the rest of the carpet baggers who
swooped into AC, made a lot of money and left scorched earth behind
when they bailed out.
If the world was fair, the lenders could have clawed back some of
those profits in the bankruptcy but the accountants and lawyers
managed to isolate the money he took away from the assets he left
behind.

Perhaps questions about his plans for the economy? There are all kinds of pertinent

I'll concede you this, he's a darned easy target. Would you really be
comfortable with a loose cannon like that rolling around on deck? In
all honesty Fox has never exactly been known for their unbiased
journalism. I do think they went for Trump's throat intentionally
because his temper and boorish manner are his biggest weakness. It's
important for his supporters to see those true colors before going to
the alter with him. Hitler used many of the same blustering tactics
to gain power in Germany. We all know how that turned out.

Whether or not he should be president wasn't the point. The point was the way he was
treated by FOX. I agree - they went for Trump's throat. I don't think that was
appropriate for a 'debate'.




Poor Donald. Proceed.

It would not have even been fair to you, Krause, and we all know how you lie.

It was perfectly fair to Trump, and it is likely his many supporters in the
GOP relish his actions and his comments about women, Mexicans, other
candidates, etc. Trump speaks for many in the GOP, including white racist
trash like you.

As I was as involved in killing as you were, you should not leave out the word
'murderous' in your name-calling.
