Should we take Trump seriously?

may I suggest to the author that...
anyone worth $9.1 BILLION dineros...and who so obviously enjoys politics...

you’d better “take seriously”

[Catsrus]

No, I was never a Scooby Doo fan.

[faithhopecharity]

Trump could buy the white house with his spare change fund...and turn it into another great big hotel-casino

(a major improvement over its current status)

[Bobalu]

Debates with multiple participants do not lend themselves to a requirement that contestants – er, candidates – necessarily answer the questions that are asked

He should pull a Henny Youngman!

Whenever Henny was asked to do a benefit or a roast he would get to the podium and just launch into his usual routine of one-liners... never mentioning the benefit or the roastee. It was a hoot.

If the moderator asks Trump a stupid question he should just say "That's a stupid question" and launch into his fine talking points...lol. It would drive them nuts :-)

If anyone takes a verbal poke at him he should just say the guy is a total loser and has no business being on the stage.

If Trump gets in one good line of the quality of Reagan's "I will not exploit my opponent's youth and inexperience" just stick the crown on him because he has won the election.

Take me wife, please!

Me either, but there it was. I was into Westerns, Combat, Hogan’s Heroes, McHale’s Navy and the Rifleman.

[Yaelle]

It is a fairly safe bet that The Donald will not last beyond a few more weeks.

I’ll take that bet, loser writer.

[Catsrus]

I love the old Rifleman series, as well as Hogan’s Heroes and McHale’s Navy. They sure don’t make shows like that any more.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I had a Hogan’s Heroes and Gomer Pyle lunch box during elementary school. No, those days are gone. Larry Storch lived not too far down the way. Remember F Troop?

[hosepipe]

With the poll numbers he’s getting, he’s loaded.

Loaded on a snipe hunt... is good theater.. but just an “act”..
There is no such thing as snipes..

[Pelham]

"Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not 'Mr. Lebowski'. You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing."

Lol.

And I was just picturing Trump listening to one candidate and turning to a third and asking him what he thought, a la Celebrity Apprentice.

“So, I guess my scathing remarks should be directed toward Gary Abernathy?”

I think that’s a safe assumption. Consider the source, a rag from Delaware, and my bet is that Abernathy is some RAT hump who thinks he’s a real journalist!

[onyx]

Trump is adept at deflecting questions that he may not be comfortable answering in-depth, and he can instead steer quickly into more familiar territory without anyone having the time necessary to demand more from him.

Obviously this idiot, third-rate, bottom-feeder writer, doesn't know that the genius TRUMP has already scheduled the release of his updated book to hit the market on the very same day as the televised Fox News Debate this Thursday!

ROTFLOLOLOL.

[Mariner]

The author speaks with such confidence that I'm think HE thanks he actually knows sh!t from shinola.

Of course he doesn't.

Should we take Trump seriously?
He is saying what the GOP should have been dong long, long time ago. Instead most of them are getting just as crooked as the left. What are voters supposed to do when there is no longer a clear distinction between either party. My hunch is and I am probably right, many of them will just abstain from voting altogether and stay home. Sad indeed what it has come to.

And the paragraph at the bottom of my reply stating: by saintgermain (is she somehow related) I keep on wondering whoever came up with it, a better option would be to pose the question WHO WAS HE?

a rag from Delaware

Delaware OHIO. The population was 34,753 at the 2010 census.

[Cowboy Bob]

Yeah, the Jeb and Marco comment caught my attention too. Seems like all political writers must have gotten the message to promote those two no matter what the main topic of the story is.

[EEGator]

‘Your revolution is over Mr. Lebowski, condolences...the bums lost. My advice to you is to do what your parents did, get a job Sir. The bums will always lose! You hear me Lebowski?!? The bums will always lose!...”

[Sivad]

What concerns me about Trump is that if he
should swerve into the presidency he will
be loved by liberals and hated by conservatives.
He has a business backround but no particular
historic [ allegiance to conservatism
