...quote from that article:/
"The Amish In America Commit Their Vote To Donald Trump; Mathematically Guaranteeing Him A Presidential Victory"

The Clinton campaign issued a written statement to the AAB asking them to reconsider their decision.
“I don’t believe that Donald Trump is the person who best represents your interests,” Clinton wrote to the AAB.
“As a career real estate developer, he represents a clear threat to your simple way of life.
As former first lady of Arkansas, I understand the concerns of rural Americans more than any candidate in this election.
I implore you to consider all of the facts before voting for my opponent.”

Most pundits believe that Mrs. Clinton’s plea is too little too late.

During a press conference in Manhattan, Trump thanked the AAB for their support and promised to put the Amish to work maintaining government buildings,
which he said would save taxpayers millions because “the Amish do great work for a very low price.”

Though Clinton has pledged to stay in the race until the very end, many of her campaign workers have already resigned.
According to the Associated Press, it is expected that the Clinton campaign will lose 50% of its staff over the next two weeks.
There is a general mood of hopelessness and despair in the Clinton camp, and many simply want to cut their losses.

“It looked like she was going to win this election easily,” said Paul Horner, a campaign worker in Ohio,
“But this is what happens when you wake a sleeping giant.
Cleary, Mrs. Clinton took far too much for granted in this race, and we are all now paying the price.
It’s really sad to see the campaign end this way.

That's a hoax article (.co). Most Amish don't vote, there are less Amish people in the US total than the article claims are voting for Trump in one state, and there's no such thing as the "American Amish Brotherhood."

And why would the Amish be voting for Casino Mussolini?

The average room rate has already been discounted 50% online from when it opened.  He'll be lucky to make it three years.  His brand is toxic now.

And, for Hillary's inauguration, look for an additional 25% off. What a great opportunity to offer more discounts.

Maybe something like that, no joking. Trump has a luxury brand, Ivanka has an "aspirational" semi-luxury brand, and neither will survive in the new reality that Trump has created over the past year or so.

The real trouble is that Trump is not a rational marketer and so he will never allow his brand to be anything other than a direct extension and reflection of himself. Hence, the new "Scion" is just "Trump" but spelled differently. Some people will be fooled initially but then they'll wise up.

Who is Trump's new customer? Look at his rallies. Most of these people will never pay $800 or $400 a night, unless Trump offers to throw in Melania (or the male equivalent) -- which he might just do.

You'd be surprised. All hotel rooms in the area are outrageous. Yes, it does keep the average person out but they still manage to fill them up with those who have or are willing to pay such high prices. DC especially is a market that draws from those with such resources. I know the area and I know the business. Also, maybe he'll offer deals using bonus points or some other insentives. DC is a thriving market with all of its government agencies unlike Atlantic City that has gone to the dogs. That alone really makes a big difference.

Yeah, I prefer The Willard for the bar and history but the location and view from the Old Post Office I can't see why in the DC economy that it "will be bankrupt in 3 years." It is possible, I guess, but after the initial protests I think it will do well. I, frankly, haven't even researched much on the lease deal but I don't think there would be anything, if his ego would allow it, to not call it a "Trump" property as the name of the hotel even if necessary.

Yes, The Willard is gorgeous. Very high end. They will always do well and command a high price... and get it.

As I've said on here once before, the government always feeds itself first and be damned with everyone else if there's nothing left to spread around. That's why DC will always thrive unlike it's very own communities outside of the Beltway.

The issue is whether this hotel in particular will be a success or whether it will wind up being acquired by someone else. I think the Trump name and brand will be a noose around its neck, particularly in such a politically focused neighborhood.

The hotel itself will probably survive long term, just not with a Trump family member owning and running it. There are plenty of other places to stay, at least as nice and without the need to be giving money to Trump.

Remember when Trump won the nomination, and there was all that talk about changing the electoral map? 

Turns out he was right!  Take a look at Arizona and Georgia:



Recent polls in Texas have been close, as well.

Mr. Butt Hurt aka Value Of Pi, I guess it never occur to you that there will plenty of people who will very gladly give their money to Trump
and stay in his hotel (s)

No doubt, but not as many as perhaps would have done this time last year.

What is shocking is how poorly Hillary is doing considering the sheer amount of money spent and almost 100% support (and money) from the media, social networking/search engine companies and platforms, the biggest banks, open-border immigrants and demographic shifts, international support, Hollywood, and most billionaires. Unprecedented to be so low with that type of constant support and money.

It is a crazy election where both Parties, somehow, picked candidates with much baggage and low support. I think it could be closer than the polls say though or even a situation like Al Gore Jr where popular vote goes one way but electors go another. Then again it could be blowout? Who knows, especially with fraud and push polls or technical problems. My wildest imagination says what if it went one way- or the other- but Electors with conscience went against their State's voters to swing it one way (which would be legal in some States?) That would be REALLY wild.

I considered that possibility and rejected it. The $800 a night people are withholding their money from the Trump campaign and booing him at the Waldorf. His properties are hurting, like the Doral losing out on its major PGA tournament to, as I recall, a Brazilian golf resort. Trump has renamed its newer hotels, yet to be built, as Scion, because of Trump's growing unpopularity with the monied class.

Trump failed with The Plaza Hotel, failed with the Trump Shuttle, failed with every one of his Atlantic City casinos and is about to face a whole new wave of failures. If any of his companies were public, we would already have the evidence of his empire falling apart. But these numbers, like his tax returns, are kept very private.

All these people coming out trying to make a dime or get some fame is sort of pathetic but also funny. Nobody bats an eye- actually approves and makes fun- when Billary does such (in her defense if the email leaks comments and photos are too be believed she could've been drunk and not in full capacity.)

Can't agree with that at all. Have a feeling that you don't know DC. Those people aren't like the rest of the country. They also get a lot of tourists and business travelers from all over the world. They won't care. Besides, they are looking at other things like quality, location, price, etc.. Like I said, I know DC and I know the business. The only thing that I think 'may' work against it is the location. Not bad but not the best either. Then again, it may bring the neighborhood up.

The best parallel I can give you to Trump's DC hotel is the story of another hotel, the Helmsley Palace in NY.  This was the pet project of another rich real estate developer, Harry Helmsley, who had a wife who was famously a very "nasty woman." Like Trump's hotel, it was a nice renovation of a historic building, except with a prime location.

When Leona's reputation went in the toilet, so did the fortunes of this hotel. As you can read in the excerpt below from Wikipedia, it was eventually sold and relaunched without the Helmsley name.

New York, incidentally, is an even bigger international city and business center than DC and this didn't save the Helmsley Palace. People just didn't want to stay in Leona's hotel. They knew who she was, just the way people know who Trump is.

"The Helmsley Palace Hotel opened in 1981 and was operated by Helmsley until 1992, when the hotel came under the management of a private New York limited partnership owned by the family of Hassanal Bolkiah, the Sultan of Brunei, changing its name to The New York Palace.[1]

During Helmsley's ownership Harry's wife Leona Helmsley maintained a strict and intolerant management style which involved her firing staff members for trivial mistakes, an act which gave her the nickname, "Queen of Mean." The hotel reverted to its bond holders from Leona Helmsley and was ultimately purchased by the Sultan of Brunei with the concurrence of the US Bankruptcy Court. The Sultan of Brunei, through its development company, Amedeo Limited, hired Lee Jablin of Harman Jablin Architects for the complete renovation of the hotel and Villard Houses."
