Old Bernie'll be telling his Bernie Bro's to vote for Biden by election time.

And now he's got some heart trouble, also.

Bernie Sanders hospitalized for blocked artery, campaign events canceled

Trump probably has his entire cabinet thinking up a heart disease related nickname for Bernie.

We already know Warren is the frontrunner anyway. Trump is dragging Biden down into the muck. So it's either gonna be Warren or (long shot-wise) Yang.

But hey, they're all better than Tom Steyer.

OccultHawk 10-03-2019 09:21 AM

Trump wants that Pochahontas nickname in play. White supremacist politics are on a 400 year winning streak - he knows how to run that casino. Keep doubling down!

The Batlord 10-03-2019 09:22 AM

Actually he's pretty terrible about running casinos.

Uh. Get the city to pay for it. Collect the funds. Don’t build it. Declare bankruptcy and keep the money.

Actually the only thing better than running a free casino is keeping the money and NOT running a casino. It’s the quintessential casino move. Dudes in Vegas are like goddamn that’s how the house wins. No overhead or nothing.

The Batlord 10-03-2019 09:41 AM

As far as I know he got some really horrible financing to buy two or three casinos that directly competed against one another and was in the red in like two days.

Dude. You can’t fake having your own hotels and ****. In the red. In the black. That orange son of a bitch has mad money.

The Batlord 10-03-2019 09:58 AM

And his daddy's money. And connections made through his daddy.

OccultHawk 10-03-2019 10:29 AM

Money ain’t about paper and numbers it’s access and power.

He gets an A plus plus in capitalism

The proof is in the pudding. He ain’t never not been able to order the best steak and stay in the best room with the best view.

Say what you want. You can’t out hate Trump me but the myth that he’s bad with money is a joke. Idc if he started a million up he kept it rolling big ****ing time. That’s just the truth. That’s how capitalism works and what it rewards. Period.

Frownland 10-03-2019 10:34 AM

He didn't go bankrupt, he received protection from bankruptcy and got to keep his millions. I think it speaks to the power of his branding that people think that his name alone could float him.

You could say he has pretty **** business tactics if filing for bankruptcy is consistently the smart option.

I literally had to babysit him from ****ing with the machine so I don't have to spend hours with him slowing us down as he throws a tantrum at kegs not lining up because he was ****ing with the machine.

But he is bad with money. The proof is in his inability to properly run a business without government, family, and credulous investor assistance. His skill as a manipulator to get that assistance is beyond question though. I'd love to see what he could do with his own cult.

What does consistently having millions of dollars prove? He sucks at owning a business but knows how to play the game to build and keep what he has. If he went dead broke I think that'd be a good sign of him being bad with money.

If you got the goddamn steak and the best view you’re good with money. Poor means you can’t do ****. Rich means you can. There aren’t any other rules.

The Batlord 10-03-2019 11:33 AM

Hasn't he been in continuous bone crushing debt since the 80s though? He's basically as good as any get rich quick scheme moron if they had the family connections to continually fail upwards rather than just be as broke as the rest of them all the time.

Goddamn dude. Who cares if you’re in debt if you’re eating the best goddamn steak?

The Batlord 10-03-2019 11:39 AM

I'm not saying he isn't successful, I'm saying he doesn't know how to run a business. If he did he wouldn't have to fall back on desperate bull****ery in the face of imminent economic collapse.

The only point of the business is so you can eat the goddamn steak.

I’m starting to worry about you.

The Batlord 10-03-2019 11:43 AM

But without being born into a super ****ing rich family he wouldn't be eating that steak. Even being born into a kinda sorta rich family who still worries about their invitations to prestige charity events probably would have left him destitute.

You got me son. Checkmated by the best. Im proud to have lost this argument to the BEST. Say man, when I come up the Virginia could you loan me a couple hundred so we can hit up a steak house?

Sure, man, can I borrow $300?

I’ll do you one better. I’ll write you a check for $400 and you only need to give me $300 in cash because you’re so ****ing cool.

Sometimes I wonder if things would have been better overall if Ross Perot had won as an independent back in the early 90's. Might have set a better precedent.

I don't know I think that's too well thought out for him tbh. He probably stole it.
