Dick’s CEO Ed Stack Tests Third-Party Presidential Run

[Asaltweapon]

Gee, let's see. Dick's was a multi billion dollar Enterprise which is now in the toilet. Yep, he will do well running the country.

Well Trump did file bankruptcy.

 

[FiremanBob]

No, he did not. A few of his Atlantic City casino/hotels did. It's typical of real estate developers to compartmentalize their projects into separate corporations in order to quarantine the good ones from the failures. Also each project may have a different set of co-investors.

You obviously missed the emoji. I put it there in plain sight.

Well Trump did file bankruptcy.

Yeah, well this ass hat screwed 2A and killed a company.

 

[Asaltweapon]

Yeah, well this ass hat screwed 2A and killed a company.

... and thus should rot in a sewer of his own waste.

 

[Rehoboth Dave]

So this gun banning stuff was actually for gaining creds for running for president. I did NOT see that coming. What a Dick.

The investors must just love this.

 

[FiremanBob]

Actually, the stock is up about 40% from where it was when they started their anti-firearm BS. The investors seem to be pretty happy.

Other than Ross Perot, I'm not sure there's really been a significant third party candidate that really had an impact in the mid-to-late 20th/21st Centuries. The Nader situation with the 2000 election has been basically debunked at this point as not having an actual impact.

Am I the only one who remembers John Anderson in 1980 ???
He got 6.6% of the vote, while Carter got 41.0% and Reagan got 50.7%

Well Trump did file bankruptcy.

Multiple times.

 

[M1911]

Yeah, well this ass hat screwed 2A and killed a company.

He has screwed us, but no, he hasn’t killed his company. Dicks had record earnings per share in 2018.

Another example of no impact, yes. He got more votes than most third party runners.

Running for president is the rich people equivalent of vanity publishing.

 

[Dennis in MA]

Yes please. He could make Trump carry 47 instead of 45 states.

I remember those annoying ads about "the Anderson difference". Although I never did figure out what that difference was.

Short term stock price is one of the most useless statistics when ti comes to judging how a company is doing. It's like asking the Kardashians what they think.

Their P/E is pretty low. I'd have to look to see what earnings have done. The stock is down from a high of 60-ish back in 2016. So no pats on the back for longer-term investors yet.

I don't recall his campaign but I recall everyone on the radio that day saying, "A vote for Anderson is a vote for Reagan."

I remember those annoying ads about "the Anderson difference". Although I never did figure out what that difference was.

The difference was 4 more years of economic malaise or a turn-around.
