The goal of running for President is to get elected President, not to get nominated as a party’s Presidential candidate. The candidates have to keep that in mind.

Very true statement here. But Juan McCain acted like he never got the memo. And Mitt Romney seemed to forget after he won the first debate and had ObaMao on the ropes.

I like Trump. He's an idiot and an a**hole. But then, so am I.

That said, though Trump will never be President, he will say things that need to be said. He will table issues that would never otherwise even get near the table.

He may be a joke, but he's a useful joke.

His idiocy will kick down the PC walls.

Go "The Don"!

Trump is very good with the media and in front of cameras. He is a nightmare for Hillary.

He does bring a lot of truth into the equation.

The Donald is going to stick us with Jeb! because he will siphon off the vote of people on the right who are dissatisfied with the establishment candidate. My feel on this is Scott Walker is the main target, and for that I don’t blame him really, because Walker seems like he could flip positions at the drop of a hat.

What I hope doesn’t happen is that Trump will deprive us of a fair hearing on lesser known but competent candidates. I think another dose of Bush might just be enough to burn down the American house. We are in a weakened position and it will take careful stewardship to turn this around.

Listening to Trump on BOR last night:

1. Build a wall along the Mexican border has been said before, but he wants the Mexicans to pay for it. Where has that been said before?
2. Defeat ISIS then take the oil they were taking, i.e. don’t let Iraq / Syria have it. Where has that been said?

My 35 YO Millennial daughter sitting with me was impressed.

If he can inspire the young, he has it made. I would not be surprised.

No, Donald would be Hillaries worst nightmare. He is the anti-Obama. Action not dogmatic progressive theory that doesn’t work. He sees the world as it is—and its not a nice place—be it in Bahgdad, or Baltimore. We tried the Mr. Nice Guy, Obama—leader from behind—Why not let a Billionaire have his shot ? I don’t see him trashing the Brits or Israel—I wouldn’t see him selling out The uSA for Iran. He would be a refreshing break—and I bet the deal maker could work with the vipers in Congress. He may not get elected but he will be good for the nation!

I can suggest that we colonize the Moon and Mars, mine asteroids, pay everyone on Earth $2,500 a month to live, build everyone a nice house and 3D print new organs instead of transplantation. Are voting for me now?

Didn't you see Jeb being interviewed about Trump's comments? Jeb is done. What a weakling.

Obama said all the right things but he didn’t do them—he couldn’t run a hot dog stand. Donald could run it and turn it into a nation wide chain. He could bring back jobs—whould he oppose The Keystone pipeline? NEVER! Would he fix the trains and make em run on time! SURE BET! That Wall with Mexico will be the 8th Wonder of the World. People will drive to Texas to look upon it and be amazed!

The way this is going, we should just rename this the “Trump is Awesome!” forum and all drive to Atlantic City to work on his campaign!! It’s like some kind of mass delusion.

So how is he going to force Mexico to pay for a fence?

Don’t you think the folks who rightfully own the ISIS wealth might have a problem with someone else taking it?

The guy is a blowhard duping the morons.......again.

Sounds familiar...

And you are a conservative? A thinking person?

Trump was connecting pretty well with the kids at the NH jr college today.

Personally I don’t think Trump is a stalking horse for anybody. That’s just foolish talk. He would not bother to do this for someone else. He really wants to be President because he is disgusted with the politicians just like many of us. I don’t think its very complicated.

Its way past time to shake things up in this uniparty system. Let Trump run. He will win or he will lose or he will drop out but he’s just as qualified to be president as anybody else running on the GOP side. With the possible exception of Rick Perry.

The RINO establishment is about to swallow their tonque in fear of what Trump might actually do. Imagine a President in the Whitehouse they don’t own and control.

Trump comes right out and ATTACKS Bush, says he doesn’t respect him, and that the rest of the GOP field are professional politicians who say a lot but don’t do a damn thing.

In this campaign, Trump is a Godsend, right now he is talking common sense solutions to the problems that the WASHINGTONIANS have created.

I don’t care what he said in the past, who he contributed money to ,or about his hair.

This is a guy who will keep the POLITICAL CLASS CHUMPS running for the GOP nomination honest.

Very patriotic of Trump to put his mouth and money up and insane megalomaniac politicians like Jeb Bush are absolutely terrified of him.

FUJB
