GG Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I agree his wording was poor, but I think most people know what his point was but are running with it anyway for political reasons. Not only was the wording poor, it was plainly ignorant of the facts. Sad state of where politics are when Donald Trump & Bernie Sanders are rising in polls.

PromoTheRobot Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 The Bills would already be in LA or London or Atlantic City after Trump declares Buffalo not classy enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I agree his wording was poor, but I think most people know what his point was but are running with it anyway for political reasons. But to be fair, he is running for the highest office in the land. That kind of goes with the territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Isn't that (regrettably) 99% of all politics these days? Pretty much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Could you guys imagine if trump was our current owner? Not intending this to turn into a political discussion, but could you imagine how ridiculous it would be if the owner of the Bills was fighting with nbc, telemundo and getting into Twitter wars and making controversial outlandish statements about China and Mexico while trying to run for president?! Whether u agree with his politics or not, it would be a huge distraction away from Bills football. So happy our billionaire owner can just focus on building Buffalo and maintaining his empire without his other interests being a huge distraction and potentially alienating or turning off parts of our fan base. I've always thought Trump was a buffoon and was dismayed when he talked of buying the Bills. I guess if he kept the Bills in Buffalo, I'd develop some affection for the man, but he was the last person I wanted to win the bidding process. I'm really happy the Pegulas won.

I agree his wording was poor, but I think most people know what his point was but are running with it anyway for political reasons. I'm sure you have done the same thing about someone's politics you disagree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy10 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I disagree with 99% of what the man says, but he's honest and entertaining as hell, I'll give him that. If he was our owner, say bye-bye to any Sunday night games on NBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even think he believes half the stuff he is saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talley56 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) I wonder if a poll was made between only him and Jon Bon Jovi who the majority of Bills fans would rather have seen (or not seen) end up with the team. At the end of the day I guess most would rather have a team constantly surrounded by controversy than risk having no team at all but it might be close.

Thank God we don't have to have a poll picking between a clown and a guy who looks like a middle aged woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsBackersChicago Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 I wonder if a poll was made between only him and Jon Bon Jovi who the majority of Bills fans would rather have seen (or not seen) end up with the team. At the end of the day I guess most would rather have a team constantly surrounded by controversy than risk having no team at all but it might be close. I shudder at the thought of those two options. It brings up a good point though. We have definitely enjoyed the media attention this year, and we would have gotten as much if not more has trump bought the bills. But it would likely only be peripherally related to actual football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heitz Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I can hear his opening statement now: "The Bills are perennial losers, have not made the playoffs in 15 years, have a bad stadium and play in a small market and some, I suppose, are good people." Thank You Pegulas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Greg Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Trump is an imbecile. We dodged a serious bullet with that one. To think, there were actually people who wanted him to own the Buffalo Bills. Phew. Hail Pegula! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Which network cancelled Trump run shows? All that and THEN the presidential run stuff would have started. Would have been a very different summer for sure. Nbc so any potential playoff games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 This is getting close to heading to PPP. Already killed a couple posts, but the topic IS very Bills related as pertains to how drastically different everything would be during this drastically different off-season. Please do your best to keep political slants away while chiming in on this interesting thread. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I feared he would bankrupt the team ala Sabres. We'd have lost the team sooner or later, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 The guy may well be one of the greatest walking talking publicity stunts of his generation. The pattern seems to be he will pretend he is interested in anything that gets him air time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Bills Fan Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I was thinking of this the other day. There was no way he could have got the team- but if he somehow did we would be f'd. He would already be pressured to sell. We would be a laughingstock. Thank the gods that it worked out better than any other scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
