I kind of knew when I started this thread it wouldn't stay on track because of Mark and crockett. lol
They could just debate whether what Trump said is even CLOSE to the campaign of 1800 between Pres. Adams and Vice Pres. Jefferson. But they don't have any answer. So...attack everything else without even addressing the original post. Sad... |

If you listen to Donald Trump (and look at him) how can you think he's anything but a gaping asshole? It just shows a flaw in your own character.

Robbie: Clearly I have completely misread your political leanings. Please clarify them for me so we can continue the discussion? If you don't want to answer, then don't I guess.

yup, i've expressed my views on obama, both praise (obamacare, etc) and disappointment, and that's because i have a right to critique the guy i voted 2x for. I've also stated here to you directly and more than once that Jim Webb is my guy. you're free to troll gfyers who voted for Obama and who try to view him fair and square, but it's weird you need to pigeonhole me just so you can troll us about the politics you claim you don't care about all while being fully brushed up on the liberal blogosphere agenda. |

Who knows? I don't, you don't, and the guy who wrote that piece certainly doesn't. One thing is for sure...Trump is pretty damn well off and unlike Mitt Romney, he doesn't try to pretend he's just a "common man". I think that's the whole secret behind his poll showing. People are sick of politicians and their b.s. Whether we think Trump is full of shit or not is inconsequential. We KNOW that the lifelong politicians are definitely lying through their teeth. I think Trump and Sanders are both a breath of fresh air and are exposing the 2 party system and the media for trying to take away our choices of whom to vote for. What are they so scared of? If Trump is so unpopular then let the voters decide. If Sanders has no chance...let the voters decide. I want to be able to make up my own mind. Not have it decided for me by the RNC and DNC and the media that is in their pocket. |

Why does it? Because having several hundred companies and being bankrupt four times is somehow qualification to understand the nuances of domestic and overseas diplomacy?

If I have to explain how experience as president of running 100s of large multi-national business operations combined with the experience of successfully negotiating with 100s of international banks to refinance and restructure bankruptcy debt, then you wouldn't understand.

I don't think you thought about that. Our country has pretty much set the damn world on fire since the end of WW2. Also...this is a contest for the position of the Executive Branch of Govt. Not saying Trump is the guy. Just saying that "yes", an experienced executive would be what you would want. And I keep seeing references made to bankruptcies. In business...bankruptcy is used to restructure. Pres. Bush and now Pres. Obama have technically bankrupted our country many, many times over. Only the Federal Govt. could get away with "deficit spending" No other entity can do that. Think about that just a second. Pres. Bush racked up more debt than all the President's before him. Pres. Obama doubled Bush's debt! They both would have went truly "bankrupt" a long time ago in the real world. |

One other thing bronco67...how exactly were Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and especially Pres. Obama "qualified" when they took office to handle the "nuances" of domestic and foreign policy?
Pres. Obama had ZERO experience in that. The Presidency isn't something that really has a way to train for. It's an on the job learning experience because it is a one-of-a-kind job. Unless we are gonna elect a former British or Canadian Prime Minister to President of the U.S., nobody is really qualified. lol But it is by definition the EXECUTIVE branch of govt. So an actual person with experience running something is preferable...just makes good common sense, right? |

Being a CEO or president of a company requires many of the same skills. Sure, there are big differences, but being president is such a unique job is is hard to know for sure just how good someone will be at the job until they are doing the job. That said, if they were governor of a state or Mayor of a major city or CEO of a big company it can give you a glimpse into their management style and how they might do. |

May I offer you a selection of Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Jim Web, or O'Malley? I'm assuming that you are a Democrat right? So those will be your choices for primary races. Since neither of us are registered Republicans, we can't vote for Trump in the primary even if we wanted to. I'm a registered Libertarian. But if I were able to vote in the primary, I would vote for Sanders. Only because I like some of his ideas. Not sure if he has anything about him that would make him good for the Executive Branch...but then again I don't think ANY of the Democrat or Republican contenders do. At least Sanders tells it like it is and isn't busy lying his ass off and/or helping to fuck our country up like the rest of the Dems and Republican candidates are doing |

I never claimed that bankruptcy is inherently wrong...I simply reworded what "restructuring" really means...which is to legally avoid fully paying on a contract that both parties had previously agreed to. And of course creditors might "be fine" with restructured debt deals, because the other alternative means even less payment or none at all. So of course a creditor would "be fine" with 50 cents on the dollar repaid in a restructure deal versus 1 cent on a dollar repaid in liquidation. |

Then he told them that unless they declared bankruptcy he would not give them the bailout. Come on man. That's not "incentives". That's making decisions by the President for GM to go bankrupt so he wouldn't be wasting Federal money. This is kinda dumb. I'm praising Pres. Obama for his decision on that. But you are so adamant about "proving" that Donald Trump isn't a good businessman that you are still going to argue against a business practice that is used by every business out there. Let's just call this a "draw" if it makes you feel better. Me? I know how business works. I'm not phased by the word "bankruptcy" and I don't think it denigrates a person's ability to run a company. Especially if it's done in a way that helps the company either come back from the brink...or if it allows the investors to recoup some of their investment. Pres. Obama never owned any business. But he's an educated man and easily understood the value of using bankruptcy as a tool for restructuring. |

When did I ever suggest that Trump is not a good businessman? His current net worth versus his net worth when he graduated from college is fact that he is indeed a good businessman. I simply clarified what "restructuring" is...which is to legally avoid fully paying debts per original contract terms. And Obama did not force anyone to file for bankruptcy. He offered GM incentives, which GM was free to accept or reject. |

50c on the dollar was a hypothetical. It entirely possible that a liquidation deal could result in 75cents on the dollar...in which case the creditors would likely push for liquidation versus restructuring...especially if restructuring does not have sufficent likelyhood of resulting in payment of more than 75 cent on the dollar. The point is that simply because creditors might "be fine" with a bankruptcy plan, does not mean they are happy with not being paid the full contracted amount. They are just choosing beetween the greater of two lesser options. |

By the way, when banks/creditors voluntarily offer debtors loan/debt restructure deals , that has nothing to do with bankruptcy. In bankruptcy, once the trustee approves the filing, the creditors are forced into restructure/liquidation even if they do not want to. |

i'm presenting reality. those banks knew the riskiness of casino ventures and Trump when they inked the original deals and when they inked the restructuring of the interest rate. you make it out like trump skated on the principle owed. his companies did not, they renegotiated interest rates and that happens all the time and banks understand that better than you, or me.

Trump never filed for an "international bankruptcy" whatever that is. He filed in the United States. And all his filings involved trustees.

The whole point is voluntarines on the part of creditors who are restructuring debt. You cited the fact that debt restructure is common. But in bankruptcy, creditors do not voluntarily offer restructure deals. Rather they are forced to negotiate a plan...or risk recouping even less. Because if the creditors would "be fine" with a debt restructure, then there would be no need for the debtor to file for bankruptcy in the first place. The debtor and creditor could restructure their deal outside of bankruptcy court. |

i didn't state it was "an" international bankruptcy as if there's an international bankruptcy court. and you don't at all know what all his filings involved. and heads-up, you have absolutely zero proof that those filings had trustees appointed.

Again, there is the issue of volunatariness...or lack there of. It is immaterial that the stocks they were forced to accept as payment increased in value after bankruptcy so that the creditors ultimately ended up with more. The issue is that bankruptcy forced those creditors to accept as payment something other than what was in the original contract. That is entirely different than the common voluntary debt restructure deals that you previously cited. |

Upon filing a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 or, in an involuntary case, the entry of an order for relief, the debtor automatically assumes an additional identity as the "debtor in possession." 11 U.S.C. § 1101. The term refers to a debtor that keeps possession and control of its assets while undergoing a reorganization under chapter 11, without the appointment of a case trustee. A debtor will remain a debtor in possession until the debtor's plan of reorganization is confirmed, the debtor's case is dismissed or converted to chapter 7, or a chapter 11 trustee is appointed. The appointment or election of a trustee occurs only in a small number of cases. Generally, the debtor, as "debtor in possession," operates the business and performs many of the functions that a trustee performs in cases under other chapters. 11 U.S.C. § 1107(a).

no trustee used in the pre-packaged bankruptcy deal Trump made
A "prepackaged" bankruptcy petition, in which the majority of creditors and the debtor had already agreed on a plan that needed the court's approval, was approved in Federal bankruptcy court yesterday. As part of the petition, Mr. Trump must insure that the casino meets projections for earnings and performance in order to keep control of the company's board. As part of a settlement with bondholders. Mr. Trump agreed to cede 50 percent of the equity in the casino to bondholders in exchange for lowered interest rates on the debt and more time to pay it off.

and it sounds like you got ch7 mixed up with ch11, ch7 requires a trustee, ch11, as i mentioned 2x above, defaults to *debtor in posession* and usually (routinely) does not have a trustee. a trustee runs the business while the business is in bankruptcy proceedings, something the debtor and creditors are very not fine with, thus pre-packaged terms presented to the judge and accepted by the judge. |

That's like saying a guy who suggests taking a punch in the gut is fine with it when his only other alternative choice is getting kicked in the balls. And in chapter 11, the reason a "trustee is not assigned" is when the debtor also takes on the responsibilities of a trustee in good faith. So in essence there is always a trustee in chapter 11. And when the creditors argue that the debtor is not performing his trustee duties in good faith, than an outside trustee is appointed. "Section 1107 of the Bankruptcy Code places the debtor in possession in the position of a fiduciary, with the rights and powers of a chapter 11 trustee, and it requires the debtor to perform of all but the investigative functions and duties of a trustee. " Chapter 11 - Bankruptcy Basics | United States Courts And there is always a US Trustee that oversees the administration of chapter 11: "The U.S. trustee plays a major role in monitoring the progress of a chapter 11 case and supervising its administration. The U.S. trustee is responsible for monitoring the debtor in possession's operation of the business and the submission of operating reports and fees. Additionally, the U.S. trustee monitors applications for compensation and reimbursement by professionals, plans and disclosure statements filed with the court, and creditors' committees. The U.S. trustee conducts a meeting of the creditors, often referred to as the "section 341 meeting," in a chapter 11 case. 11 U.S.C. § 341. The U.S. trustee and creditors may question the debtor under oath at the section 341 meeting concerning the debtor's acts, conduct, property, and the administration of the case. " Chapter 11 - Bankruptcy Basics | United States Courts Still all entirely irrelevant to the fact that that chapter 11 banrkruptcy is not voluntary in terms of creditors. |
