Trump got $200 million. In 1974 dollars that's over $1 billion. If he had invested, even conservatively, he could have several billion. But he only has between $150-$250 million. He way underperformed the market. Even the highest researched estimate of his wealth was $788 million.

Only Trump and the media claim he is worth $10 billion.

Trump endorsed Romney in 2012, and registered as a Republican to vote for him in the primary. So Trump and his RINO flock should stop lecturing us.

Was he supposed to help obama?

PRAISE GOD: a FReeper who "gets it!"

Oh, he is? How come he took the anti-Confederate flag side? How come he won't say anything that would remotely offend gays? How come when two Muslims tried to kill Pamela Geller, he took the Muslim side. How come he keeps going out of his way to say how fabulous Mexicans are? You've been sold a bill of goods.

He did help Obama. He distracted from his performance issues and made promises about his birth certificate and then delivered nothing.

Guts is not being soft-spoken and losing graciously after the left flattens you.

Now if this guy is making an honest effort (and that is all I can assume that the effort is until credible evidence is presented otherwise), then he is not going to get snarky comments from me trashing him as being a phony.

People on our side don’t not get that the political field of battle is not the same as 1956, 1980 or 1976 with nice polite back and forth with some TV ads and a few fliers or a whistle-stop tour. And that all you have to do is give some boring speeches like Scott Walker and that should win it all. There is a gigantic army of leftists online and in the media that is waiting to smash the GOP nominee handily because they know the RINOS and much of the right is populated with wimps more afraid of the media and the church ladies on Sunday than they care about defeating the left’s media machine.

Trump, like it or not, is letting these people know right off the bat that he is not going to be screwed with by anyone. He will not apologize because they demand it, nor will he shrink from a fight. The last time we had a person running remotely like that was Newt in 2012, but the right just had to go with a boring guy in a sweater vest because we’d rather lose with a halo then win hard.

When another candidate can run hard and on these issues, then Trump wont matter, until then Trump will be on top.

” Even the highest researched estimate of his wealth was $788 million.”

In other words, no one in the country but you knows this.

“...implying that illegal immigrants from Mexico are mostly murderers and rapists.”

He really did not imply that. Dishonesty on Reagan’s part.

Oh, no, plenty of people know it. The media won’t report it, because he’s one of them. But I am sure they would report it if he were running against a Democrat.

Yes Ronnie Reagan had his philosophy and Trump has a right to his own philosophy.

Read his original statement. And a lot of people cheered him meaning just that.

Try reading what’s written there, sport. None of what you ask even remotely addresses what we’ve written.

You’ve crossed over into mindless trolling.

Try to keep up, Michael. He is not going to win the nomination. But he is saying things that definitely need to be said. I think he’s helping whoever wins the nomination and I hope it’s Cruz.

Trump’s philosophy is narcissism with liberal overtones. Trump is Jeb Bush with a Howard Stern makeover. Supporting Trump means you agree with Jeb.

Wanna share who you’re FOR and why?

(Honestly, I have no problem with your relentless attacks on Trump or any other candidate. It gives his supporters something to cut their teeth on before they fight the general public)

Now who’s your guy and why do you like him? Do you see him winning? If he wins, does he have the moxie to actually make a difference... at ALL?

Yes, you are saying that Trump stands up! When really he’s just being a reality TV moron. If he is standing up, how come he can’t stand up against the left. Why are gays off limits?

I like Michael Reagan. Having said that, I have to state that I have never seen him offer up a more self-destroying ignorant rant.

How he could dismiss Trump this resoundingly, and miss the point completely is beyond me. One thing is clear, he has not been paying attention at all over the last two weeks.

His one comment about immigration being Trump’s only draw would be flat out comical, if it weren’t so self-destroyingly insipid. Then he goes on to crown that monstrosity, with his perception that Trump even blew this issue. When he did, you could almost hear the last bit of credibility sucked out of the room.

Michael, today as a nation we are discussing Sanctuary Cities. Can you grasp why? Do you understand the implications? Evidently not.

Donald Trump was a massive game changer that neither the GOPe or the nation’s media can control.

He has addressed immigration, trade, our military preparedness, jobs, welfare, and many other issues. And Michael, the things he has been saying were reasoned from the Conservative perspective, with few exceptions.

I suggest you get on the internet, go to YouTube, and listen to Trumps presentations.

If you’re honest with yourself, you’ll realize how wrong you were in this sad presentation of yours.

Anyone who doesn’t understand why businessmen give generously to politicians who represent their district regardless of political affiliation, either didn’t see The Godfather, or wasn’t paying attention.

I don't have a candidate yet. I put Cruz, Jindal, and Walker in the top tier, but I have my doubts about them too.

But Trump is the worst. He has tried to use the GOP for his own agenda before. He is not a conservative, and he is not "standing up" to the media. He is a reality TV person and he is only doing this to get attention and his new reality show. He is draining conservatism out of the race.

He has no intention of running. The media is protecting him from his dirt now, but they never would in a general election.

Notice his silence in reply to your question?
