Sorry but IMO if Donald Trump gets in the race and I really believe he will its going to be a real game changer.
I believe that there are only 2 people with the force of personality to make significant changes in this country and they are Ted Cruz who is my first choice and Donald Trump.
The most significant thing I took away from Trump’s speech in NH or maybe it was SC I can’t remember was when he said the politicians are not going to get you to the promised land. Truer words have never been spoken. And then he gave an analogy for it. He said that he will self fund and will not be beholden to the lobbyists. He’s right. When you have to take millions of dollars from donors to get elected it puts you in a tight spot making hard decisions that may go agains’t some of these people’s best interests.
For instance Trump used the analogy of the Ford plant that was supposed to be in Tennessee but now they have decided to build it in Mexico then ship everything back here to the states and not pay any duty on it. He says he will charge them 35% to bring cars and parts back in. Then the lobbyist will come to him and try to put the squeeze on him. He will say no and the next day the CEO of Ford call screaming and yelling. He will still say no. The next day the CEO of Ford will call and say please, please please and he will still say no. The next day Ford will announce that the plant is going to be in Tennessee. I laughed hysterically because it was funny but after 30 years in the business world that is the way it works.
We have 93 million people out of work. If we don’t get jobs back we are screwed. My guess is if Trump runs on jobs he could very well win.
Trump is working for the DNC. Don’t be fooled. Perhaps you’re not old enough to remember how Perot delivered the WH to Slick Willy, twice. The second time nearly half the dunces that voted for Perot’s first fake run turned out again.
Now I’m no fan of HW Bush or the Bushes in general, but they beat Slick Willy all the way. Without Perot you’d never be worried about Hillary and potentially Obama.
Be smart and run away fast from any flirtations with a Trump presidential run.
I suspect that the MSM knows Jeb isn’t going the distance so they are going Old School and going to push Trump 3rd Party.
Ross Perot II
Years ago I read his “Art of the Deal.” Never impressed me as anything but a well moneyed con man.
President???? No real difference from the Clintons to me....
Palin as VP? Trump as P? Vacuity knows no limits.
I hate to tell you that Donald Trump is not Ross Perot. Its just not a good analogy. Trump is not planning to run as an independent. If he runs it will be on the Republican ticket. The guy has the name recognition every other candidate wishes they had. You can wake a crack hoe up in the gutter and she will know who Donald Trump is.
If Trump decides to run and I kind of think he is going to and if he runs on jobs he is going to surprise a lot of freepers. Americans are sick and tired of career politicians lying to them. They are also sick and tired of being out of work.
I would also speculate Trump is kind of bullet proof because he is very open about his life and he’s friends with his ex wives. His kids are all success stories and they love their Dad.
Is a good Commerce Sec the guy who makes deals and steals?
Now, if the job of Bozo the Clown opens up....
CNN, I’ll ask the question again and maybe I’ll get an answer this time. What do you think about Trump’s contribution of at least $100K to the Clinton Foundation?
I don't understand why you're always backing some fantasy ticket instead of choosing to throw your support behind a solid conservative who is actually running.
I mean, what is it? Is it the rollercoaster thrill you get from hoping and anticipating? It mystifies me.
I was for Ross Perot.

So was I. I even voted for him. Worst political mistake of my life. I helped give this nation, and the world, the Clintons for life.
Is Mark Levin a joke? Have you, perhaps, gone beyond Mark Levin’s accomplishments?
I wasn’t aware I had mentioned Mark Levin.
Yours is a typically liberal tactic that you can shove up your ass right next to your head.
Now go bother someone who respects your kind.
Why haven’t Cruz and Walker already seen, and talked about, the dire straits we are in trade wise, job wise, manufacturing wise? Trump has been talking about these concepts for years.
He did not criticize Pam Geller for speaking out against Islam, he just criticized the method she used. There is a difference in the two concepts.
“I wasn’t aware I had mentioned Mark Levin.’
You said that anyone who liked Trump was a joke. That “anyone”
encompasses Levin, who said he liked Trump. That was the obvious implication. And you call me a liberal? That gives you away as a complete idiot, in the same class with Jeb Bush. You have no reasoning ability. My conversation with you is over.
Trumpsuckers are the “conservative” version of low info voters.
” I’ll ask the question again and maybe I’ll get an answer this time. What do you think about Trump’s contribution of at least $100K to the Clinton Foundation?”
I’m going to assume you are not a Billionaire business tycoon. So if that assumption is correct Trump giving the Clinton Foundation $100,000k is like you leaving out an old microwave for the Kidney Foundation to pick up. They called you with their hand out and you rummaged around and found something to give them. Likely the Clinton Foundation came with their hand out for donations for the Haiti effort and he had his secretary write them a check.
Its meaningless.
Yeah, and I hate to admit there are low-info voters on our side, but hey...the evidence speaks for itself.
I think some might support Don King for president if he said a few of the right things.
