JRK also was a very rich man when he ran for president. He donated his paycheck to charity or turned it back to the govt (can’t remember I did not pay much attention to politics in those days, I was in junior high school.) Anyway, I would not be the slightest bit surprised if Donald Trump would do the same thing if he were elected. He can afford to be president; his billions are not going to go away.

>>>And he can’t win an election on hating Mexicans<<

Sorry my Friend, but judging by that Statement you seem to have been infected by Jebitus with a touch of Roverash.

My Wife is half Mexican and half Oklahoma Gringo, and she loves Trump. All my stoking the Cruz Bandwagon in this House fell upon deaf Apolitical Ears, then Trump showed up.

When my Wife starting taking to her Apolitical 100% Mexican Mother abut Trump, I was at a loss to explain it.

They’re all wrapped up in the sizzle without bothering to find out if there is any steak behind it.

Well Perot 2.0 is an extremely serious danger, and hardly something Hillary and Jeb wouldn't try.

Nevertheless, if he's faking, Trump is reaching the Academy Awards level. I'm really starting to say "hmmm" a helluva lot these days. And him coming out and calling Hillary a criminal, that was positively breathtaking. Why no candidate, ever, previously called her what she obviously, blatantly, mockingly is and has always been is beyond me, but the plain fact it's that they haven't. So he broke new ground with that, because he can't walk it back and he knows it. Impressive as hell, says I.

Hmmm.

Trump can't afford the pay cut the POTUS job would entail,

What? Pay? Trump's facilities expense more in toilet paper than a $400k presidential salary.

All sizzle and no steak?

just like the last two election cycles?

At this point a half dem IS better than a full socialist!

(or a wimpy ass rino..)

I want Cruz or anyone who’ll back the Constitution.

re: trump
Better to have someone who at least protects this country while being a somewhat non dem/lib etc versus a closeted commie?

(not endorsing Trump, but at he’s bringing ... how do the libs say it,,, the conversation that we need to have)

Rush had a caller the other day who said pretty much the same thing...The Donald speaks "good America, peaceful America, strong America etc. etc.". Trump IS an enormous success, he knows how business and capitalism works,he has been there, done that, and continues to grow. Most alarming to the left and GOP elites is the fact there is not one politically correct bone in his body!

Martin O'Malley was punched-out by the Politically Correctness that is killing this nation by apologizing for an perfectly sound remark practically on his first day out. Pitiful.

The Trump people see is the Trump he is...positive, bombastic, honest, successful, and he has Class, real Class...not some lace cuff, snooty class...Trump has that real American Class of exceptionalism & GRIT.

I wish the other politicians would realize that there’s a well of hatred of Obama and his policies that they need to draw on

Scared sh*tless, all of them

Scared if they tap that well they might find somebody rayciss, or at least somebody who thinks whites should be looking to their own interests (#1 of which is to make America great again).

No, no, then THEY will be called rayciss, and that they cannot bear.

When’s the last time any president needed that paycheck?

Once in office it comes rolling in from all over the globe.
