DJ Trump does not stalk for anybody except himself.

A lot of you folks talk as if you know Don Trump. It’s kind of funny, actually.

Recalling all the purple prose by all the media pundits, liberal and conservative, and all the party apparatchiks, RINO or otherwise, from day #1, spoken and written, they certainly did their best to strangle The Donald in his crib. That The Donald Juggernaut continues is not because they did give it their all; it was, and is, that no one listens to any them anymore, or cares what they have to say. They are seen for what they are, lying corrupt, even treasonous, fools, and even united in their zealous determination to destroy Trump, they are still incompetent.

Don’t be obtuse. Donald Trump wants to be President.

He’s the anti liberal.

Not Anti-liberal at all. Trump is essentially non-political. His ideology is "Is this good for me?"

This guy doesn't give a fig about ordinary people. He is as distant from ordinary people as Saturn is from Uranus.

Trump will give us gun control, socialized single payer health care, and three new liberal judges for the Supreme Court.

Sorry, but the hypnosis didn't work on me.

Wonder how Trump proposes to fumigate the entrenched bureaucracy?

Where on Earth did you get the idea that Trump would do a single thing about the Federal bureaucracy? In your dreams, man!

Just right. That is how Trump has become wealthy - by hiring a bunch of folks whose job it is to tie in bureaucratic knots all the folks he hired who turned out to have the mistaken idea that they could pad their resumes by getting something done.

I don’t understand all the fawning over Trump. However, I am thankful that he got into the race

I don't see anyone fawning over Trump. He is far from perfect. But, he is the only one within 1000 miles of the feral gubmint who has ever demonstrated a clue about getting anything done. Ted's a lawyer. Lawyers argue, like what it means to be a NBC. That is not getting anything done.

Mr. Trump is for the American People.

Your Mr Trump is for the mafia. By his own admission he has been working with the mob in his construction business for decades. You want a president controlled by the mob, vote for Mr Trump.

Your Saint Donald is going to quickly meet his match in the Federal bureaucracy. I wouldn’t be surprised that if he were elected, he wouldn’t make it through his first year before resigning.

Trump is not a saint - thank goodness. If, as he promises he will appoint some very tough, competent, not very nice heads of agencies, the bureaucratic obstructionists will shrivel up and die. The federal bureaucrats are inert. They sit and do nothing and get away with it because there is no one in charge who will tell them to "git" as Lincoln described Grants quiet competence in getting the union army actually to go out and take the war to the confederacy. Yes, they can be obstructionist, but for every one of them who has a real job to do there are five whose job it is to keep them from doing it. Even if you can't fire those folks, you can reassign them out of the away, start transferring them to Amchitka Alaska or something, downsize them (you see another thing is that Congress won't actually reduce the number of federal employees), and best of all, you can terminate the contracts with all the beltway bandit contractors which is where the real army of obstructionists exists because much of the inertia is not the federal employees, but the outside contractors brought is as a result of what the Republicans called "privatization." It is a way you convert government jobs into private jobs so that their employers can funnel some of the public expenditures back to you. That is what the lobbyists are there for - to grease this cycle of corruption.

We’ll see. Hopefully we’ll be spared the spectacle.

It is another angle for why Trump is not seriously running for president. That is all.

It doesn't bother you that a pantload thinks Trump 'says things liberals can love'?

It bothers me.

You build a building in New York you buy your concrete from the mob, you get your workers from unions that are certainly mob influenced. To get an actually building out of it requires a certain degree of toughness and negotiating skill. It is easy in construction to do what the federal government specialize in - spending lots of money and getting nothing for it but legal bills for lawsuits against defunct LLC construction companies.
