A few years ago, my family might have stayed in a Trump Hotel.

[Frank Cannon]

I really didn't know much about the guy other than he was some rich real estate dude who was supposedly an expert on business. I never watched The Apprentice, so I didn't know him for that show other than he said "You're fired!".

My in-laws might have bought me a Trump necktie for Christmas. Salespeople I know might have taken their clients to a Trump Golf Resort.

But not now. Not in a million years. Over the last few months, we've all learned a great many things about Donald Trump and his business practices that have all been thoroughly disgusting.

There's a word for businesses that cavalierly cut off a portion of their current or potential client base in hopes of attracting other customers. That word is "loser". It's why any sane company will bend over backwards doing damage control to prevent the perception of any discrimination or wrongdoing. No one wants to scare off customers.

So my question is: What is Donald's "Plan B"? If he loses this election, he's going to have to go back to being Donald Trump, Master Businessman. He's alienated everyone except the KKK, and they don't have their own cable channel or line of clothing in stores for good reason.

1. Mark Cuban said on Fox last week.

That the Trump brand is damaged beyond repair and will be broke within 7 years.

The look on Neil Cavutos fat little face was priceless when Cuban said that.

[PJMcK]

4. Well, Mark Cuban lives in the real world (n/t)

[Frank Cannon]

11. He won't last seven years.

He might have lasted seven years if he'd just continued running his usual scams and tried to avoid any unusual scrutiny. Eventually it all would have caught up with him.

But then he ran for President.

[Dorian Gray]

12. I used to hate Mark Cuban

but now I love him for taunting DT mercilessly.

I hope this is true. I think it is.

2. Actaully the Klan has the Fox News Cable network.

As far as clothing line goes, someone has to make the hoods. But white after Labor Day!!?!?!!

[0rganism]

3. tRump brand kkk hoods!

made in china, of course

[C_U_L8R]

5. Just wait 'till Trump chokes on election day

No one will want a thing to do with his loser brand

[PJMcK]

6. Donald Trump won't have time for a plan B

His foolish presidential campaign has exposed all of the dirty dealings he's engaged in for decades. He has needlessly put himself before the public and now that there's blood in the water, journalists are starting to do their jobs. And guess what? They're finding a treasure trove.

Donald Trump is going to be spending a lot of his time in the near future dealing with a lot of legal problems. He's not going to have the time, resources or audience to start a TV network or to continue his shoddy ways.

I truly believe he's going down in a bigly way.

[Egnever]

20. I think you nailed it.

He thought he was immune since he spent so much time on TV. I don't think he realized the level of scrutiny that comes from a presidential campaign.

All of his dirt is now being exposed and there is so much of it I will be surprised if he survives it.

[duncang]

7. Brought this up here a few times

I think it may be worse for him then people realize.

He has ticked off a lot of people. But one group has pointed it out in on line recruitment ads. Isis has been using him as a poster child for their cause. To someone who has been radicalized and told to hit soft targets. I wondering if some of them may end up being trump branded hotels, golf courses, etc.

I don't think dipshit or the dipshitettes thought it through what it could mean to run for prez. especially if he made it. How high a target value would a property branded trump be on the isis list?

[Frank Cannon]

18. Well, yes, there's that.

Maybe if you go around pissing off other dangerous people around the world with your asinine antics, you might also invite focused ruin on your own little empire.

[Liberal In Texas]

8. Not to mention the loss of convention and seminar business.

If I had the opportunity to go to a seminar or convention in my field of work and it was being held at Trump hotel, I would decline the invitation.

People who run the seminars etc. depend on people showing up and staying at the hotel and paying the registration fees. If they know the attendance is going to be down, they are going to opt for another venue. It's just a question of them not being able to break even if it's held at a Trump site.

9. would think the discount online bookers are licking their chops

would guess the problem would be in over built markets

trump has some prime locations they will be booked no matter what.

[Gothmog]

10. I will never stay in a trump hotel

[Turbineguy]

13. I visited one once.

I had the feeling that if they could figure out how, they would charge me for air. I was early to my engagement so I thought I'd walk over to the pool. Entrance fee $40. When they found out I wasn't swimming they waved the fee. That was nice. I was invited to a party on one of the higher floors. In the hotel tower next door, a couple was having sex with the curtain open to show off.

[Frank Cannon]

16. Well, you were just ungrateful.

I'm sure there's a guy with a Trump bumper sticker on his '78 Dodge pickup in Rupert, ID, who would happily travel across country to pay that $40 fee to swim in the hotel pool and watch somebody getting it on in the tower next door. There must be a lot of people who would do this.

[smirkymonkey]

14. The man's hubris is proving to be his ultimate downfall.

He wanted to be the most powerful man in the world just for the title, and now it's coming back to bite him in his flabby orange ass.

[Lee-Lee]

15. Trump TV is coming

Like Fox but 10x worse, he is building his diehard audience right now.

[Frank Cannon]

17. Cable television is also dying

Downloadable, on-demand content is the current trend, and I don't think running the occasional ad for Candy Crush is going to support his family in the lifestyle to which they've grown accustomed.

[Ace Rothstein]

19. Trump Hotels are now on Groupon.

A sure sign that they are circling the drain.
