You believe in polls?
Anyway, Independents who voted for him and Democrats who sat the last election out would vote for Clinton since they're unhappy with Trump. Trump won by only a small margin in several states so he would end up losing in them.
He doesn't have to make low-budget films. Don't forget that the Star Wars films he made were financed by him and are independent films with the exception of the first one.
Anyway, he is a creative consultant at Disney and makes appearances at the conventions/premieres. He's in his 70s so maybe he just wants to enjoy his young family and relax. The fans are ingrates, anyway.
I meant national healthcare would cost more than the 12-15 billion to build a wall so it's a silly deal for Schumer to take. Trump did say that Trumpcare would be more competitive and affordable than Obamacare. If only he kept his campaign promises.
Isn't Mexico supposed to pay for the wall?
BTW, the "deal" was a dollar for dollar deal which would not cover payment for Obamacare. Unlike Trump, Schumer knows arithmetic.
I brought it up because you implied only Rey will train when it's both. It should lead to an intense showdown.
We don't know how much training Rey has had since her background is only hinted at in the Force Awakens. My guess is she's a Skywalker, either a cousin or half-sibling of Ren's. She could be much more powerful in the Force than Ren - similar to Vader's ability. The memory lost could be trauma from witnessing the Jedi being slaughtered.
I have faith that all will make sense when we see the next movie and get our answers.
[quote]they are just different than the originals[/quote]
Exactly. My expectations for each trilogy are different so I enjoy all of them.
Lucas just wanted people to have heroes to cheer with the OT. The OT came out after Watergate and Vietnam and people became cynical.
The prequels are a political movie warning against how a democracy can turn into a tyranny like Hitler. Each trilogy reflects its time.
The new trilogy rewinds to the original trilogy since people liked the look, characters and story.
True. Probably not a bad thing to have if you use it for good.
Not ironically. Rich people teach their kids which is why they have an advantage over the rest of us regular folk. We have to stumble around for that information which is why it's odious that Trump cheated people who took his Trump University course.
Funny you should ask. I grew up in a poor/working-class neighborhood. I knew I had to adapt different values/behaviors to move up. Accidentally adapted middle-class model so now I'm upper-middle. Oops! Only after reading Rich Dad book did I see my mistake. Readjusted to rich model.
Don't want power - just money.
Actually Robert Kiyosaki admires Trump and wrote two books with him. Most of the other books I read were written long before he was even a candidate and have nothing to do with him.
BTW, I have read Trump's book Entrepreneurship 101 which was pretty good - but I wouldn't have recommended taking his courses at Trump University since he's a crook and stole his students' money.
Actually the differentiation is from books written by rich people, I'm just paraphrasing them. Even Trump differentiates between an entrepreneur and a real estate investor/developer.
Trading stocks could be considered a business too, but in the literal sense it's still different from running a company.
Trump didn't only inherit money. His father taught him real estate development and introduced him to his political and influential connections.
Totally disagree about Paris. Her inheritance was limited to only 5 million so she started multiple successful global businesses to have more money. Today she is worth 100 million.
Real estate, business and trading stocks/commodities are the three asset classes. Rich people focus on one to specialize in and become rich. Later, they will add the other two for a little more money, but their main focus and success usually remains with their first asset class.
Trump is still mainly a real estate developer. Even his golf club and Maralago were real estate development deals. His skill set is also strongest in real estate. He has money invested in the stock market too, but I wouldn't call him a stock trader.
Running a business, real estate developing and stocks are different skills which is why I differentiate them.
If Gates were my dad and he taught me Microsoft since I were a child, then yes, I would know what to do. I'm not so I read books like "Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and the Middle Class Do Not!"
He's not broke because of his real estate empire. Even Trump mentions how the casino bankruptcies almost destroyed him. BTW, his dad gave him millions to help him when he was having problems. No proof he's a multi-billionaire, though. Definitely not as rich as he says he is.
I'd rather have a successful businessperson running the country. Bloomberg would've been good. He helped revive the economy in NYC. He's richer and self-made.
He didn't inherit a "business". He inherited a "real estate empire" from his father. He has mismanaged many of his businesses. If running government is like running a business, then we're doomed.
You must admit that an inheritance does give you a leg up.
Knowing Lucasfilms, he may pop-up in a featured Expanded Universe book.
We don't know his true net worth because he's afraid to release his taxes. The bulk of his money is from real estate. The reason why I mention that is because there's a different skill set from running a successful business. His casinos and hotels went bankrupt and because he defaulted on past bank loans, most banks will not give him loans. Today, many buildings with his name are actually owned by others - they just lease his name. The same with the winery. His TV show was successful and made him a great deal of money, but I don't know if it counts as running a business.
He's a successful real estate developer. Business? Not so much.
Anyway, it's all moot because I haven't see him do anything for the middle-class. I thought that was the reason why people voted for him.
It wasn't the worst thing about Trump. I was just replying to the comment about his being a "successful businessman" which he isn't. Hillary doesn't have anything to do with the subject.
I guess some people are afraid of freedom of speech if it's coming from someone else.
"Your case number is #0000105"
?????
He's inherited a successful real estate developer and made it more successful - thanks to his father's money and connections. He's not a successful businessman. He doesn't payback his business loans nor his contractors. That makes him a crook.
