He's nowhere near the criminal that the WLB is, Pap.

Quote:Trump and other major developers "had to adapt to that situation" or build elsewhere, said James B. Jacobs, a mafia expert who was part of a state task force on organized crime.
"That was the fact of life, that was the way it was," he told PolitiFact. "The contractors and developers weren’t pure victims. You could bribe the mob-controlled union leaders and get relief from the more arduous conflicts. But we had no information that Trump was any different."  
That being said, Trump’s business dealings with the mob or mob-related characters are widely documented.

Jesus may be phony as all fuck but at least he doesn't put people in cement blocks and throw them into the Hudson.

As compared to what? A full 8 years of the dangerous inept jackass we have now? 

Democrats are not going to win in 2020 seeking a super hero "perfect" candidate. 

I think he'd be a great president, no, not my first choice, but I'd vote for him if he were nominated. 

I don't think he'd be a great President.  If the democrats want the support of the teachers unions, and of teachers, they need to pick a candidate who's anti-privatiization of education.  Cory Booker isn't.  Not sure why I should support him just because he's "not trump"  John Kerry was "Not Bush" and look at how that worked out.

People keep putting out there "PERFECT" candidate.  That's such a ridiculous term at this point.  It's not about Cory Booker not being 'perfect'.  It's about him not remotely aligning with me on the issue I hold most important.

If Mark Cuban decides to run as a Democrat, and gets the nomination, would you vote for him?

Because honestly, I wouldn't vote for Cuban either. 

Given the choice between Trump and Booker, I'm packing my bags and heading to a country that is interested in good teachers.

He's the most popular politician i the country, and I'm voting for him if he runs again. I still half expect Trump to bail out in 2020. He can't be enjoying himself where he is.

His insatiable narcissism and need to control everything is what is keeping him going. He'll run again in 2020 because he loves being the center of attention and holding the highest seat in this country is garnering him LOTS of attention.

Or the Democrats can construct a platform that is actually appealing to voters and mobilizes them instead of just saying "At least we're not Trump"

What about the Democratic platform was unappealing?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
