Pundits have largely deemed Thursday's debate a misstep for real estate mogul Donald Trump, but he may have won over billionaire investor Carl Icahn.

The activist investor tweeted Friday afternoon that he had decided to accept a Trump offer for Treasury secretary. Still, he noted that "the methods of electing our corporate and political leaders have become completely dysfunctional."

Boom! Trump! Icahn!

Yes, they are billionaires. But then, everybody up on that stage was a millionaire. So it's rich folks against richer folks. The richer folks have a freer hand. Politics is all corrupted by money anyway. So cut out the middlemen, who are faithless to everybody, and get some ballbreakers like Trump in there.

I'm for him.

You're embarrassing yourself, Champion of the Poor. Do you actually have any principles at all?

Apparently you think I should be embarrassed. I see no reason to be.

I have often stated my principles. You don't state yours.

At least we have finally found the one Republican tycoon you're willing to fight to the death for, loathsome as he is.

Your "principles" keep changing. Pining for Biden to win last week, swooning over the manliness of Donald Trump this week...

This is not a picture of principles or consistency.

" loathsome as he is. "

OK TC. It is obvious that you are not a Trump supporter.

To be honest, who do you support at this point in time?

I asked him that a few weeks ago. He mentioned Rick Perry. In state tuition Rick Perry.

I think he said he would vote for Bush too. Bush wasn't his first choice though.

He also likes Hillary better the Trump. I say that because he said if Trump gets the nomination he couldn't see himself voting for him.

You're confused or just making things up.

I do like Rick Perry and did in 2012 too (despite his miserable debate performance). I don't really think he can win.

I never said I would vote for Bush as I have a record of 75% resisting the temptation of voting for a Bush. A Bush nomination would likely result in my voting third party. Just as with the Stain who I also did not vote for.

My reputation here at LF as a rock-ribbed GOP partisan hack is actually ridiculous, given my actual voting record. It's actually hilarious, given how seldom I do actually vote for the GOP nominee.

I also live in a late primary state. I don't even know the last time a presidential primary campaign visited the state for more than an hour or two.

And I also live in one of the five Reddest states. Meaning that even when I vote third-party, I can rely on my fellow-voters to deliver our EC votes to the GOP candidate. So I can be as principled as I like, knowing the Dims won't ever take my portion of the EC vote. Very handy for having your cake (voting third party if I don't like the GOP candidate which is more often than not) and eating it too (never allowing my vote to be taken and given to a Dem candidate).

If a GOP candidate actually needs my state's puny EC votes, they've already lost a 45-state landslide.

So, before you go jousting at that windmill again, consider how little there is to gain by doing so.
