NONE of my circle of acquaintances has ever suffered more than one bankruptcy, and the vast majority have suffered none. I'm not even sure we know how many business ventures DT has bankrupted. At least four or five big ones? The most recent his casino during the last weeks of the campaign where he laid off two or three thousand workers?
Anyhow ... back to the topic of the thread ... whenever I ruminate on the best leader for we lefties going forward, I keep coming back to Elizabeth Warren ... young, smart, articulate, charismatic, experienced ...
Young? She's my age! Sherrod Brown, maybe, but let's rethink this. The party leader, as opposed to the party's face to the world, is a crank turner. GOTV, funding and outreach are his/her job. Elizabeth Warren is better out-front, fighting the good fight; she'll never be President. For that, the Dems need someone younger ... fresher.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
