He has no even been in one primary yet. Shouldn’t we wait until something actually happens before bestowing titles?

Muhammed Ali didn’t start bragging until he was world champion. Isn’t it a little empty to make these claims before any real accomplishment?

Trump should demand a cut.

Muhammed Ali didn’t start bragging until he was world champion.

Technically, you're right, since he didn't adopt the Muhammad Ali moniker until after he became champion. But I remember him bragging a lot in his pre-championship Cassius Clay days. :)

I love this quote (and it's very apropos):

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men. "

But not until after he beat Sonny Liston. My understanding is it took a few years. How long before Trump converts to Islam?

Who have you got that we can get behind and win?

I know that’s a question many here cannot stand but I want to consider the candidates who can win.

I would like an alternative but there doesn’t appear to be one. It certainly won’t be a GOPe for me.

Did Mohammed Ali ever brag in Spanish?

The world of today could use a Mohammed Ali--that is, the Wāli (governor) of Egypt who in 1818 sent an army into what is now Saudi Arabia and crushed an uprising by devotees of the Wahhabi sect of Islam. Wahhabism would later become the driving force behind al-Qaeda and ISIS.
