Here are the reasons, according to the article. (please see link for full descriptions)

(I used to appreciate him was saying what needed to be said, but when he criticized Pam Geller for speaking out against islam, I lost all respect.)
Ditto here.
I was for Ross Perot.
I completely agree. America has now fallen from the position of the world’s largest exporter.
We are now more than 18 trillion dollars in debt.
Everything in every store was made in China. Not literally everything, but enough to make the point.
Yet the entire GOP seems set-up to perpetuate all of this. We need a change.
Badly.
If memory serves, FR had exactly one McCain True Believer. Donald now seems to have his OTB here. We can have fun with that.
#15 He wants to insure the field is dilute enough that no Conservative can win.
Insofar as he has GOP friends they are no doubt GOPe—which makes your #15 indeed part of the overall plan.
Four years ago all that was being said about Herman Cain. How’d that work out?
I have watched The Apprentice off and on for years.
Trump is a tool.
It blows my mind the things coming out of his mouth that he allows to be aired. I can just imagine what he says that he doesn’t allow to be aired.
He'll tell it like it is on many issues. That should keep other potential candidates focused on the issues US citizens outside of DC and the corporate world care about. I also believe that Trump would be the one to know how to get US citizens back in the workforce.
People forget. Ross Perot, with his charts and clear explanations of complicated issues, could've won the first time he ran. He should've chosen a viable and proven VP.
With a mad-as-*ell US population, I'm wondering if Trump/RandPaul just might win over voters.
He has the knowledge to make a good Commerce Secretary, but Trump will always put Trump’s interests first. He doesn’t seem geared for public service.
Exactly what I was thinking! I stopped reading NewMax a very, very long time ago. It always seemed like it was trying to be the National Inquirer for conservatives, and not very bright ones at that. Now it’s exposed that they’re sucking up to the Clintons and who knows who else. Biological hazard warnings are in order.
He is not running. Until he says he is running, I don’t believe anything.
If could break the strangle hold that the open border free traitor Chamber of Commerce and K-St has on the national legislature he would be a real hero. Probably more important the Presidency itself.
Running for the Democratic nomination? Because it doesn’t really make much sense for a large Democratic donor to run on the Republican side.
Trump / Palin would be a perfect ticket, for me.
15. A winning populist message is Anti-Free Trade AND Anti-Amnesty. And Trump looks to be about the only candidate positioned to pull that off.
His fans fawn all over what he says but never about what he does.
He flaps his gums about the constitution but has no problem stepping on personal rights to seize property for private use through eminent domain.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
For election to a national office I would not trust any Republican born, raised and imbedded in the fabric of the NYC culture.
Trump is a useful idiot. He can blather on and on against Obama - fine. But as far as him being a serious candidate?
HAH!
