Interesting. I thought this space was for "Off-Topic Conversation," and that "The Rules are Relaxed in here"

Relaxed being the operative word - not outright dismissed.
Nothing good can come out of political discussion here...

Trump is a successful business man.
Sanders would make it impossible to run a business (any profits would be dispersed in a communist fashion).
I own 3 businesses and want them to be successful. I don't understand why any aspiring business person would vote for a communist. Bernie Sanders is anti-capitalism all the way.
Go Trump/Trump Steaks!

We did the same mistake (and fall in the same trap) years ago and still regret it.

Simply Googling "Donald Trump Business Acumen" will bring up a host of articles detailing what appears to be his overwhelmingly mediocre businessman-ship.
Here is an excerpt that summarizes his business success:
Had Trump never gone into the business world and simply invested his share of his father's real estate company into a mutual fund of S&P 500 stocks in the 1970s, he'd be worth around the same amount that he is today. It's a reminder that the biggest reason he has so much wealth, as Vox's Dylan Matthews points out, is because he was born into it.

Also, can anyone show me any materials in which Sander's platform would "make it impossible to run a business (any profits would be dispersed in a communist fashion)"
My understanding is that his platform not total wealth re-distribution, but rather is based on ending this:
A new report by the Economic Policy Institute shows that CEO compensation at the largest corporations has ballooned by 937 percent since 1978, when adjusted for inflation. A typical worker’s compensation grew a measly 10.2 percent over the same period.
The average CEO compensation at the 350 publicly owned companies with the largest annual revenue in the U.S. last year was $15.2 million, according to the EPI, a left-leaning think tank. That’s a 21.7 percent rise since just 2010.

I did not say that anyone who supports Trump is a racist. What I said is that anyone who supports Trump is condoning racism. You don't have to share every trait with the person you vote for, but by voting for them you are condoning their views / actions.
There is a difference between being racist and voting for a racist leader. Personally, I cannot fathom condoning a leader who is blatantly racist.
