No I'm quoting you. You're saying he isn't a good businessman while not showing that you have an informed opinion on business at all. What reason is there to believe that you have an opinion worth hearing if the only opinion we really know you have on any one businessman is Trump?

For all we know you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

But seriously, my point was judge them by the same standards, not that they are the same person.
Fair enough. I can see where you're coming from with that, although I disagree with it.

Pardon? I don't remember you jumping in when I was showing facts relating to his business strategies.

And who else's business practices are you familiar with?

I'm not comparing them to anybody. I never did. That wasn't the question I was asked.

Why? I genuinely don't understand what the benefit is of using two different criteria to determine the same outcome. It renders the term meaningless. Aren't you only opening up yourself to being biased or outright wrong?

Only when given a reason to be biased. Given Trumps criteria for what he considers good business and political practice, I have every reason to be biased. I'm also biased with Hillary and I believe she shouldn't be allowed to parade around in politics with the background of being criminally charged.

So you therefore have no frame of reference by which to judge Trump as a businessman? You're just kinda going with your Joe Six-Pack "common sense"?

Exit: credibility. Seriously.
