It's nice to play the awe shucks card now after lining his pockets with bonuses while vulnerable people in Ohio lost retirements and life savings when it all came apart, I mean after all the big bad guy is Wall Street right?? No, that's right it's only the bad guy when it fits a typical hypocritical liberal do as I say not as I do spin.......
So what did he actually do at Lehman that lined his pockets ? What did he do in his job there ?
Let me give you an example. A very well known ex congressman is a managing director at my company and he basically just goes to client seminars and big client meetings if needed and talks about the political environment and I guess still talks to his washington contacts for lobbying.

Just don't respect the way he plays the poor old country boy and everybody else is evil and brash when he's been part of everything many condem. For example Hillary goes out and plays the womens rights and lbgt card every time she can but takes millions of dollars to her and bill's "charity" from countries who kill homosexuals and treat women as inferior, just doesn't sit well with me and it's on both sides. Guys are quick to call out a guy for getting behind a certain candidate, well it's nice to sit home in garden city or park slope etc and hit the golf course or sit at half court at the tournament on a Saturday and talk about how these "hicks" and so on could vote for this guy and this guy.

If you want to see what hope and change has done for the people take a stroll down Livonia Ave or new lots in east ny on a Friday in July ask the people there how Barry or bill have helped them. Guarantee they aren't telling you they're happy that their property value has gone up 70 percent since they've been in office

He can't win? You may have to rethink that position in November, if he gets past the shenanigans he is likely to face at the convention. Trump is like Chris Moneymaker was some years back at the World Series of Poker. Moneymaker, a first time WS player, took on the darlings of the poker world, and knocked them all out. Look at the primary. Graham, Fiorino, Bush, then Rubio. Offshore betting sites had Bush and Rubio as the favorites to win the nomination 2 short months ago. Trump undressed them, then kicked them to the curb. The presidential polls at this stage are meaningless. Trump hasn't even started on Hillary. He will attack her relentlessly and without any filter. There may be nothing left of her by election day. Independents will vote for him, as will some democrats. Cruz, on the other hand, has no shot at any swing state, and will have no chance with independents and democrats.

Please read the following. You can find other sources, but the near financial collapse in 2007 wasn't caused by GB, but warned by McCain in 2005 who tried to introduce legislation to reform lending practices instituted by the Dodd Frank Dem controlled Congress to lend mortgages to unqualified buyers.
http://www.redstate.com/diary/ken_taylor/2008/09/17/john-mccain-warned-of-mortgage-collapse-in-20/
John McCain saw this collapse coming as far back as 2005 and not only warned of the coming collapse but co-sponsored legislation to try and prevent it and go after the corruption that was causing much of the problem. Following is McCain’s speech on the Senate floor during debate of Federal Housing Regulatory Act Of 2005 urging the Senate to pass the Act which fell to defeat after being blocked by Senate Democrats.:
"Mr. President, (referring to the Presiding Officer of the Senate) this week Fannie Mae’s regulator reported that the company’s quarterly reports of profit growth over the past few years were “illusions deliberately and systematically created” by the company’s senior management, which resulted in a $10.6 billion accounting scandal.
The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight’s report goes on to say that Fannie Mae employees deliberately and intentionally manipulated financial reports to hit earnings targets in order to trigger bonuses for senior executives. In the case of Franklin Raines, Fannie Mae’s former chief executive officer, OFHEO’s report shows that over half of Mr. Raines’ compensation for the 6 years through 2003 was directly tied to meeting earnings targets.
The report of financial misconduct at Fannie Mae echoes the deeply troubling $5 billion profit restatement at Freddie Mac. The OFHEO report also states that Fannie Mae used its political power to lobby Congress in an effort to interfere with the regulator’s examination of the company’s accounting problems. This report comes some weeks after Freddie Mac paid a record $3.8 million fine in a settlement with the Federal Election Commission and restated lobbying disclosure reports from 2004 to 2005.
These are entities that have demonstrated over and over again that they are deeply in need of reform. For years I have been concerned about the regulatory structure that governs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac—known as Government-sponsored entities or GSEs—and the sheer magnitude of these companies and the role they play in the housing market. OFHEO’s report this week does nothing to ease these concerns.
In fact, the report does quite the contrary. OFHEO’s report solidifies my view that the GSEs need to be reformed without delay. I join as a cosponsor of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190, to underscore my support for quick passage of GSE regulatory reform legislation. If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole.
I urge my colleagues to support swift action on this GSE reform legislation.”
Senate Democrats blocked the passage of the Bill and while it passed in the House it failed in the Senate because of the Democrats.
It appears after Kasich winning Ohio trump won't get the desired and magic number of delegates so the convention should be open.
In which case I think the party will pick someone who can unite the entire Republican Party instead of divide it as trump has. I think that means John Kasich, Paul Ryan, maybe even Mitt come out with the nomination.
But I don't know how it works. Does Trump have an upper hand in the convention because he will have more delegates than everyone else? Or is it just completely anyone's game?

In this day an age, a brokered convention where the candidate with the most votes doesn't come out with the nomination would splinter the party. It won't happen. Of all the Republican candidates, and there were a fair number of good ones, I disliked Trump the most. The name calling, the call to stop all Muslim immigration, calling most illegals rapists and murderers, and other disgusting comments and flip flops are so unpresidential that the only person Trump is most desirable as President is Hillary.
That's true. I didn't think of that
