In the last 9 elections, according to Pew exit polls, the GOP candidate won 21% to 40% of the Hispanic vote. I think Trump will break those limits.

I was listening to his son (not sure which one) being asked if they regretted anything, and he said no, because it got them where they are today.

(of course a Martingale system can work fine for awhile, and so can a Ponzi scheme)

Pew has Trump with 24% of Hispanics
3 days ago. It will go up when Hillary
starts opening her mouth on a regular
basis. She is the best advertisement
for not voting for her. She has the
charisma and charm of an over ripe
banana.

He gets a 5 out 10. That's what you showed me. That's makes him just average in the self-made department .

But you said nothing about him was
self made, remember? Do you even
realize that the vast (VAST) number
of people who inherit do nothing but
squander their fortune? That's why
Forbes has a self made scale, because
there are so many clueless people who
think just like you do. They see somebody
inherited $50mil, so of course they're
worth $5 bil today, who wouldn't be.

Most wouldn't be, that's how many.

We will have to wait and see if she is worth $2.4B in 12 years. I wouldn't bet on it. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin

I said if we are going by Forbes which created that scale system in 2014 then Trump is average. That doesn't mean Forbes is the accepted standard for self-made.
It was just invented very recently.

Quote:
To merit a score of 10, a member of the Forbes 400 would have to have been born into poverty, or lower middle class, and had to overcome obstacles such as being left an orphan, forced to work low-paying jobs, or faced abuse or discrimination. Oprah Winfrey, who grew up dirt poor, raised alternately by her single mom and her grandmother, and was sexually abused by several male relatives, and George Soros, who survived the Nazi occupation of Budapest, fled Hungary under Communist rule and worked his way through the London School of Economics as a railway porter and a waiter, are prime examples of what a 10 represents

The contrast couldn't be more stark
A Dem vp candidate that speaks Spanish vs a candidate that disrespected a hispanic news anchor. Trump will struggle gettin 20% and probably much less.

So if Trump didn't turn a small fortune
into a huge fortune 40 times larger,
maybe you can tell us who did and
we'll give the credit to them. Who built
the Trump brand.

You do realize you're making as ass out
of yourself, right?

I am not sure what happened with the news anchor but my guess is they disrespected Trump first. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength
