franchises, Trump would have quickly run them into the ground, and then spent his life as a dysfunctional grifter, using his charm to marry women to exploit them, defraud others, including temporary employers, get on "welfare," etc., being in and out of jail.

It was one of the worst nights of my life also. I went to bed around 7:30 p.m. though, because with the polls bouncing madly like ping-pong balls (which they just can't do!) from day to day, I believed something very bad was happening that was too painful for me to watch.
