All I’m saying is, he is not more wrong in his thoughts than what we currently do, which is send millions of formerly American jobs to the citizens of a massive communist country.

It is time to rebuild America.

Rebuild America.

Locally, a high school classmate of mine is running for Mayor. He’s retired, old and bored. He’s been around on the board for a while and decided he needed to be mayor.

The same is true for the Donald. He’s bored with life and decided he needs to share his wisdom and expertise as president. He gets to be on Cavuto and Fox and Friends

It is a rich man’e indulgence........ nothing more

To your total lack of economic and business sense: first, he may not be "more wrong" than Obama and the status quo, but he's not at all "right" either, and there are those in the race who are. He, Huckster and Santorum are not.

Moreover, "we" do not do anything as a monolith in this country. "We" don't send jobs to anywhere as a government - however, our government does force - or incentivize - businesses to offshore with its liberal policies.

And while we're at it, China's economy now is probably less communist than our own. And that's the problem. We have become a socialist economy in many ways. Turn that around, and we'll have another worker shortage. Period.

The GOPe knows that Jeb Bush does not have the chops to win this at the ballot box.

Thus they are encouraging every Tom, Dick and Harry to toss his hat in the ring and make this a rugby scrum. That way they get a brokered convention, and can hand Jebby the nomination in the formerly smoke-filled backroom.

I very much support his (Trump's) candidacy

So do I. He's clearly, without ambiguity, articulating the problems the US is facing. On his show, he treats people with respect. He admires individual initiative. He has a sense of style, elegance, and class. He knows the economy and would encourage working for things and giving them opportunity.

The list of his flaws would be at least that long, for sure. But so what? He just might be the medicine the US needs with the seemingly unstoppable downward skid we're on.

We already have a President who constantly talks, is self absorbed and blames others.
One was enough.

Trump is like many politicians from both parties. They get big and rich enough, and they think they have the divine right to rule over others.

Because I might agree with Trump on some issues would be no reason to vote for him. I might agree with some drunk ranting at the end of the bar, but I won't vote for him either.

Is that the Trump version of a Mohawk?

I wish he wouldn’t do that. His criticism of Geller is just another example of how he just doesn’t get it.

Cruz is saying it. He is the one insisting that we get rid of regulations that are killing businesses and sending corporations overseas. He also has experience in that area.
He’s proposing tax reform that gets rid of the IRS and lowers taxes on businesses. Getting rid of regulations and lowering corporate taxes would bring back the two trillion dollars that has left the country. A President can’t directly create businesses, but he can adopt policies that create an environment in which jobs can grow and manufacturing can return.

I think Trump should concentrate his tallents in a Cabinet job. He would likely make a great Secretary of Commerce.

With anyone else hiring staff means you’re serious, but he’s so rich.

I honestly think he would hire staff just to fool people into thinking he was for real.

Trump can certainly finance his own vanities, but there are enough suckers (Huckaphony raises money!) out there so that he will raise some other money. Hiring a smart guy like Laudner is a good way to unload some, and to guaranty himself a spot in debates.

that’s because you don’t understand how many things that have caused this skid are things Trump likes. He is just about where Schumer is on economics. Loves unions. There is nothing really conservative about him, other than he claims to love the Tea Party - even while agreeing with them on virtually nothing.

Remember when GHW Bush made his "voodoo economics" statement while campaigning in the primary, then was selected as Ronald Reagan's running mate, then denied having made the "voodoo economics" statement, then was caught, and just said, "darn it"? Until recently I'd imagined that Trump would make an ideal VP, since he's a publicity sponge and would say and do anything, drawing fire from the top of the ticket during campaigns, and from the POTUS while in office. Well, those days are behind me.

Donald Trump is an advocate of US jobs for US citizens. And he can articulate an issue very well.

The nation is going down; it's too late to reverse the slide. Trump might be the best for crisis management of the financial disaster we face.

I'm curious. Who do you favor for the nomination? Who do you reject as totally unacceptable for it?

There are a lot of advocates for US jobs for US citizens. And while he can articulate it, what he articulates is largely wrong. You have fallen for the trap, the trap of thinking someone who knows how to make money for himself understands what the free market economy is in the macro. You are deep do do in that mindset, and you are wrong. I support Cruz, and Trump, Huckabee, Santorum, Jeb, are among the unacceptable.
