I am a New Yorker and an Independent. I want to share with you what escapes most of this nation. Trump's approval rating in NYC is very low. That is because NYC knows this man for decades. He is not "a businessman". He is a crook who has built his wealth on the backs of others including through shady financing, not paying contractors and multiple bankruptcies. It is interesting that NYC is the financing capital of our nation but Trump does not seem to use the banks there, seemingly due to his reputation and history. No one questions his shady relationship to Deutsche Bank or coziness with "Russian Investors". Perhaps this is how he finances his deals because so few conventional lenders will touch him. Then there is his "Foundation" which is another crime in plain sight.

Michael Bloomberg, Republican turned Independent and completely self-made billionaire came to the Democratic Convention for HC to say in clear, loud language, "this is not a man that this nation wants for President".He knew, personally, as highly respected longtime NYC businessman and 3-time mayor. Those words will always stay with me. Look up that haunting speech...

As to those who are still drinking the Kool-aid, tell them to look at a ten-year graph of any of the major indicators; growth, stock market value, unemployment, etc. ...they will find that the trajectory is fairly constant and in some cases was stronger for periods under Obama. The exception is the short-term stock market exuberance over the Republican Tax Cut which is using a credit card to borrow $1.3 Trillion to reward the nation's wealthiest people and corporations, that will have to be paid by many generations, irrespective of their incomes. That graph is not likely to stay strong long and in fact is pretty unsteady this year.

It is obscene...I could just go on and on but will not.

Thank you for your opinion!
