The press kept speculating if Trump was going to run for president. With so many running for president on the republican side, Trump would have looked like a coward if he did not enter the race. But what if he doesn’t really want to be president? Third party.

Who’s to say?

Remember the times he “flirted” about running, then didn’t?

Remember all the times he said, “until death to us part” and then parted?

When someone is ahead by double digits they are less likely to want to debate. Especially against a crowd of losers in single digits, and every question to them is an invitation to attack the frontrunner. It’s time to limit the field to candidates at least in double digits in national polls.

How about instead of constantly posting negative articles about Trump you offer some positive information about who you support? Or are you 100% sour grapes over Walker? Somebody is going to be elected next year, So are you in Hillary’s camp now or what?

Trump went to military school without joining the military. He might subconsciously be looking for a way out. He can’t just quit because he is Trump Tower!

Watched the Speech. Trump threw out the supposed “threat” as a joke line to the crowd after saying he helped CNN get a Ratings bonanza with the Debate.

Tempest in a Teapot #4,174 and counting.

The Media has too much time on their hands.
Idle hands are the Devil’s workshop.

Voters must consider his honesty when sizing up his credibility. Can the man keep his word, his bond, his contracts?

Besides his 3 business bankruptcies, there's this pattern:

"......Among people who have done business with Trump are many who feel they have been abused by him. Tama Starr, president of the sign-design company Artkraft Strauss (which lowered the Times Square silver ball that marked New Year's Eve for decades), has written about what she calls "the ugly art of Trump's deals." She and others have told me that it's common for Trump to pay 80 percent of a project, withhold the remainder of what is owed by claiming dissatisfaction with the work, and then force creditors to either give up on payment or engage in expensive litigation that might cost more than the money owed.

Donald Trump's big talk, braggadocio, and boldness have carried him far. But "gravity" - the wearing off of his freshness, the cumulative weight of his excesses, and voters taking a closer look at him before they actually cast a ballot - might well bring Trump down to earth, as Cruz recently suggested in a speech to a group of donors. Even Superman became weak and vulnerable when exposed to kryptonite, and in Trump's case, the equivalent could be exposure to a political environment in which his 91 percent name ID is "trumped" by voters' decision to finally compare him with other lesser-known candidates."

I imagine you are tired of having make up excuses for his paranoid behavior.

TRUMP is floating talk show topics for his free 24 hr. weekend cable network airtime.

"Ted Cruz was very nice to me, and I was nice to him. Most of the people were nice to me last night."
Trump reminds me of this guy:

I was surprised that he made THIS debate since CNN didn't cough up 5 million. Isn't that what he asked for?
Maybe Trump is just a blowhard.

His ego is as fragile as a little child’s. For a successful man, he has a weird mix of vanity, hubris, braggadociosness, and insecurity. Just weird.

Yes.

How can a presidential salary [and personal expense account] fully compensate him for all the wonderful things he plans to do for the the American people?

Since he’s self financing, he’s beholden to no one, no one.

He’ll be working the deal for the Donald.

He is very full of BS and wins with overpowering applications of it.
