Another quick aside if you will, on the west coast families. Oak brings up a fantastic point, probably should be another thread. I really think they only recognized these families, to take advantage of markets they wanted to tap into.
" Making" guys in these families is the mechanism they used to " Privatize" the criminal business connections, concentrating them firmly in the hands of LCN affiliated gangsters.
Example; Cerrito of what, San Jose? He was close to Galante. I'm thinking drug imports is the real only reason for that family to exist. I would bet the others were similar situations....
Okay my 2 cents, back to Trump, personally, I think he has no real chance anyway, the Clintons are gangsters, that guy is a lightweight lol....
it was all about connections. Networking. Opportunities.
