Jim Meyers is too gullible. I bet not a single FReeper falls for this.

Boiled down, the reasons are:

1) he’s polling decently (not great),
2) he’s apparently preparing to run, and
3) he’s got non-political experience.

#1 is primarily a factor of name recognition, as are all early presidential polls.

#2 pertains to anyone who runs.

#3 has really not got anyone anywhere since Ike’s quite different, military experience after WWII.

I believe Trump's campaign will shrink down to fit his humility as soon as candidates like Cruz and Walker make a similar argument for protecting the middle-class against Obama trade deal and crony capitalism.

Of course, establishment money might buy them off but I believe the opportunity is so big that someone will take it.

He endorsed Kerry in 2004.

He'll make things more interesting for sure. And he won't shy away from debating a topic which can force the others to speak up. Not voting for him, but it should be a net positive.

(No longer a registered Republican, so I'm not voting in the primaries.)

If Ross Perot were not a paranoid dwarf, he would have been elected.

The structure for choosing a President is rotten and waiting to be kicked over.

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 is not running. Until he says he is running, I don’t believe anything.

Running for the Democratic nomination? Because it doesn’t really make much sense for a large Democratic donor to run on the Republican side.

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.

For election to a national office I would not trust any Republican born, raised and imbedded in the fabric of the NYC culture.

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....

Trump doesn't have the correct hair to be President.

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?
