Wait until he is the GOP nominee, then take him out.

He is the Democrats dream and Republicans nightmare as the GOP nominee.

I'd rather risk Trump than have Cruz within a heartbeat of the victory.

Cruz fucking scares me. Trump makes me laugh.

they are as batshit as he is - so doubt he could ever get anything through, thank god.

What in the hell happened to him? as a child? Did his mom hit him over the head with the constitution every day?

If I remember well, Churchill's record was absolutely disastrous during WWI.
Not saying Trump has any chance of ever emulating Churchill though

that if you don't have some failures, you're not taking enough risk, and limiting your total return.

According to Wikipedia, The Trump Organization, LLC lists involvement in 515 subsidiaries and entities with 264 of them bearing Trump's name and another 54 including his initials. With that number of operations going, one is to expect some failures.

Still, I don't think it's a good idea for him to be risking the American economy to failure hoping for an acceptable "total return."
