Too Stupid to Organize Conference Calls

No, the part about Trump isn't true either.
Romney didn't "turn companies around" - he bought them at distress rates, raided their assets, sold things off in pieces, and put thousands of people out of work in the process. Trump hit a bump at a time when a lot of businesses were hitting the same bump, and had to put a few businesses he had into bankruptcy. Not an uncommon thing to do. That's what it's there for. He has never personally taken bankruptcy. Your characterization of things were dishonest at best, and you damn well know it.

You are counting the businesses that bought the right to use his brand and trying to hang their failure around his neck. You know better than that. He sold rights to his brand. He didn't start those businesses. Don't even try to tell me you didn't know that.

I imagine it takes a special kind of incompetence to bankrupt a casino.
New York State did it, sort of, with their off track betting business. In that case it was pure corruption.
Only non-witches get due process.

I agree there is plenty of baseless Trump bashing but this doesn’t qualify. This is all literally true. Every single word.

No it doesn't. All you have to do is build one in a town called Atlantic City and then have the entire fucking town collapse. Stop with your bull shit.

No it's not. It's a dishonest twisting of the facts, and you know it.

Romney made a fortune saddling companies with debt, extracting millions of dollars in fees telling them who to fire, to try to finance and pay off the debt he helped create. Romney could have played Gordon Gekko.
Most of Romney's money was never made in venture capital, although he did have a large hand in getting Staples off the ground.
Trump certainly has his failures and bankrupt companies.
But the difference I see, is that Trump had failures while trying to build something and Mitt made most of his money by tearing things apart.
And then Romney has his Profiles in Courage moment, in a combination of pique and national political aspiration, disregarding what his constituents told him and hurting his party.
If you want to die on Romney Hill, jon, I'll be happy to lob the Truth grenades your way.
