Why is Trump's financial status so important while you liberals give Hillary a pass on all the money she has accumulated ILLEGALLY.  Did Trump take donations from enemy foreign countries and banks to undermine America?

I respectfully disagree that companies should pay any tax whatsoever.  Eliminate the business tax completely and watch the economy boom like never before. 
Employees will make more money which, in turn, will bring more money into the coffers offsetting the elimination brought on by the lack of biz tax.

Isolationism never works. Oh yeah, when was the last time there was a war, a conflict, or a suicide attack in Switzerland?? A thousand years ago or something?

Switzerland is an interesting example.  They have a very fine defensive military.  All young men are required to serve.  Women are permitted to volunteer for any position.  One reason they have never been attacked is they have very mountainous borders that are custom made for the many anti tank ditches they build. 

Since all young men are required to serve in the military, and all military personnel are required to keep their guns at home, Switzerland has one of the highest gun ownership rates in the world.  And when they exit the service, they are able to get a permit to keep their weapon.  But they do have to buy their own ammunition.

But you are correct that their non-interventionist philosophy is one reason they have not been attacked, along with the fact that they would be a formidable target.  Today's air power could change that, but their extremely business friendly environment with low taxes ensures that Countries that have the ability to attack by air also have huge corporations doing business there and have no reason to attack.

Low taxes; business friendly; extensively armed civilians; what's not to love.  And a dangerous place to attack; even by terrorists.

That was a good example you chose.  I mean that, but for a different reason that you may have intended.

I'd vote twice for Bozo "You don't say" Schultz before I'd cast a ballot for that criminal, carpetbagging, Mao-jacket wearing,  barking, coughing, cackling, cankley old harpy from Little Rock.

I don't think it would look all that different.  Most of the manufacturing here is heavily automated.  The jobs the immigrants are doing are the jobs Americans won't.  The guys who painted my house were all immigrants, as were the dudes who put on my roof.  I asked both foremen why, they said they couldn't get Americans who would show up for work sober.  I've heard the same thing from every auto mechanic shop owner I've ever met.

Four guys are outside right now giving our lawn its yearly aerating and de-thatching.  All are white.  And we live in a county with a 50% Hispanic population.

The other day we had an electrical company come out.  The principal was Hispanic, the assistant white.

Our HVAC guy is white.  My mom's housecleaner is white.  The two guys who painted our house last summer are white.  We didn't all select for white, it just turned out that way.  So I have a little trouble accepting that whites don't want work.

  I would vote for anyone over Hillary.

A vote for Hillary is a vote for flushing what's left of the old USA down the toilet.

So what makes you think Trump will make it to the White House?  He is losing in nearly every poll to Hillary Clinton (RCP Clinton + 2., and his negatives are lodged at 58%.

Meanwhile Cruz beats Clinton (RCP Cruz + . and Rubio beats Clinton (RCP Rubio +4.7). 

Did you watch the Chris Wallace interview that I posted here yesterday?  Tell me where he actually answered a question.

What troubles me is that you talk about the Cruz and Rubio schoolyard shenanigans, but never say the same thing or worse about Trump, and that's  consistent with all Trump supporters that I know.

Take any issue that I've posted here:  pro-eminent domain to give property to private owners, anti-First Amendment desire to "open up" the libel laws so he can sue people, and numerous other liberal positions, and I don't think I've received one post in defense of Trump. Not one. They have just been ignored.

But they will not go away.

I've heard that the dems are surfacing videos from Trump's appearances on the Howard Stern show, where he is rating women, saying "look at that face, she's only a 5" and "I'd do her".  I'll see if I can find that.  But how will that work with the "GOP war on women" narrative that is guaranteed to come out?

I am not a Trump supporter and feel no need to provide any defense.  I do find several positions he holds problematic although I think each of those issues have had more hay made about them than they deserve with respect to what it appears Trump's position actually is - bottom line is nobody in consideration is an ideal candidate, frankly none of them are even good candidates for a variety of reasons both political as well as personal.

WRT to national polling, it may or may not be accurate - the big unpredictable element is how a candidate Trump would campaign against Hillary (or Bernie), I believe scorched earth doesn't even begin to describe the withering assault I would expect a candidate Trump to unleash - if anyone can move the needle on Hillary (or Bernie) it is Trump, since the establishment has demonstrated again and again they are unwilling/incapable of actually taking it to the opposition - this belief I have by the way is one of the fundamental reasons that people who actively support Trump do so, in their own words - he takes no shit - we the people are tired of being shit on again and again by both parties and Trump is capitalizing on that (almost like he knows what he is doing).

WRT to shenanigans, the reason Trump folks call it out when others do it and not when he does is based on expectations I think more than anything - it is expected from Trump and is considered out of character for the Pols, that is also why they are so bad at it IMO.  He gets benefit of the doubt for his behavior in the same way Cruz is excused by his supoprters, and Rubio is excused by his supporters - there is zero difference there, it is pure human nature to support 'your guy'

WRT war on women trope, my belief is that like every other thing that was supposed to torpedo Trump's campaign, it is based on conventional beliefs, conventional experience and conventional assumptions which are inapplicable for Trump because unlike the other candidates (with notable exception of Dr. Carson) he is not a creation of the establishment or of the political media therefore neither can truly destroy him.  The bullshit identity politics victim card is overplayed and anyone trying to continue using it will be seen as, you guessed it a loser, a yuuuuuuge loooooser.

Trump is riding a populist groundswell that has not, in my opinion, even come close to its zenith - and the continued 'attacks' against him from the esablishment, the media and the Democrats will all only serve to continue to expand his support from the vast middle ground.  The consultant class has been telling both parties for decades that they can only win if they secure the middle, and that only they (the consultants) can help them - Trump is nuking that and that may be one of the best results of his involvement in this campaign season, but only if future candidates are taking notes.
