(6,709 posts)for buying into the RW idea that running a company is comparable to or appropriate for running a government.
You do "get" the two are antithetical, right? One seeks to maximize prices to the "consumer" while minimizing costs to the seller/provider while the other seeks to maximize services while minimizing costs. You do see the difference, right? Right?
And another thing: why would you assume my differentiating between Avenatti and Bloomberg purely on the subject of party affiliation is an endorsement of Avenatti for president? We have a LOT of good candidates; I don't consider Bloomberg one of them as a bona fide member of the party or anything else.
Finally, I for one don't want a billionaire--even a real one--running my party or my government. I'll go further and say I don't think billionaires should exist, at all. What do we want or need them for anyway?
Job creation?

Maybe Nikki Haley will join him! I don't know how she could stand being part of the Trump crew as long as she did.
