Expect the fireworks after the stage has gone dark. He will demon@d the spotlight after the others are studying what their answers were.
From day #1 he showed that he had that ability.
A FIGHTER is what America needs.
He doesn't have to be President to stand up and fight for America.
Whatever anyone may think of Trump he is NOT afraid to call out the a$$holes... that includes Obozo.
We need MORE of it.
Frankly, I don't think he is really serious about getting elected. I think his real goal is to force these pansies to address the real issues that Americans are torqued off about. This guy took a big stick to the hornets nest and hit it dead center... and that's what needs done. It's long past time to bust this place up
Has anyone noticed the comments below on the FB link? See how many self identified “HISPANICS” (Americans) are stating their support for Trump? Remember....it’s FB, where its harder to hide your identity! Just an interesting observation.....
Yes, I have. What is also interesting is the number of people who address him as Mr. Trump. Now i know a lot of this is from The Apprentice which is what he went by, but also, a good amount is that people just respect him. He’s a leader, and his business accomplishments and straight forward directness have earned him that from people looking for leadership. If you go to Jeb’s page, 75% of his comments are negative, most telling him to get lost, and his posts seldom if ever go over 1000 likes. There is no enthusiasm for him from the rank and file. He may very well be dragged across the finish line by the GOPe but he will get annihilated in the general because Independents will not vote for him. They don’t want a 3rd Bush, and Conservatives by and large hate him. It will be ugly.
I’ve lived in the NY Metroploitan area my whole life with the exception of my time in service, and Trump is something of old hat here, with his omnipresence in the city and his casinos in AC, but he’s even blowing us away with how well he is doing thus far. I just hope he continues on his path because i have not been this excited by a candidate since Reagan.
You’re.the person I’ve been hunting for! Northern NY state is fairly conservative. Can Trump get enough support from NYC to carry the state?
On the post where he offered condolences to the marine fsmikies. Over half of the people added comments supportive of him winning the presidency to their comments
Probably not. It’s not so much the demographics of NY, which are bad enough. Democrats usually poll 75-80% in the city during presidential elections, about a 1,000,000 vote margin. The real problem is the LI suburbs, which used to be heavily Republican but now lean Democratic. Trump will make it closer. He may pull 30% in the city and do very well upstate and in the NYC suburbs, but i doubt he can pull the state out. Plus he will be running against Hillary who is of course of ‘New Yorker’. Aside from the obvious demographic issues, there are still inordinate amounts of stupid white liberals in the city and they all vote Democratic. However, Trump will poll very well in the Midwest and in some of the New England states, New Hampshire, and possibly Maine or Vermont. The problem in NY and NJ and CT, is quite simply demographics.
Yes he was aggressive with conservatives because media reporters encouraged him when he did that. Guys like Romney & McCain are meek only facing democrats and media. And that is why it is great to see a republican candidate (Trump) opposite of “meek” with all of them. He jabs back all of them.
I have never come across a self made rich guy who is not thrifty. It is not that they are stingy, but they will look for “value” when spending. Trump of course inherited $200 million but he made it grow 50 times. So he is mostly self made.
Ha!
I ask because several of my democrat friends are excited about having a non politician who is not dependent on lobbies in government
I like how u think
I’m certain if I inherited that much, mine would have grown by a hundred times. For instance, I thought of what is now Uber back in 1988. I just didn’t have the means to pursue it.
Occasionally I walk people through my latest “billion dollar idea” and they are impressed. They ask me why don’t pursue it. I still don’t have the means.
So he showed his true self. And Trump is showing his.
First million is the easiest.
Second million is harder.
Third million and subsequent gains get progressively harder because of our progressive tax structure.
When you get to the Billion dollar class, the complexity of maintaining a grip on a complex business empire requires a lot of talent.
Most well known Billionaires are paper billionaires who made money buying and selling stocks, such as Warren Buffet. Bill Gates did not become a Billionaire until Microsoft went public and issued stock, and it is not a privately held company like the Trump empire.
“the ridiculous Liberal Hyena Press”
Did you originate this? I’m planning to borrow the ‘hyena press,’ part. It is priceless.
A pack of Hyena’s is exactly what they are. I don’t know of any Animal that can describe them any more clearly.
I’m sure it’s been said before. I love certain words and phrases that get Liberals in a tizzy.
My latest favorites are Illegal Invaders, the Mulatto Marxist and of course, the Post Menopausal Marxist.
I have been accused by Liberals of being a Bigot of course, but I simply ask them to tell me the new approved PC Term for a Half Black, half White Person. It’s funny that they focus on the word Mulatto and not the word Marxist.
Very telling indeed.
Which is a good thing. You seem to be stuck in a 20th Century mindset when presidential candidates would travel from town to town, kiss babies and pretend they are "one of the people" by ordering eggs over hard at an Iowa diner in a flannel workshirt or grabbing a slice at Frank Pepe's pizza in New Haven, CT.
This is the 21st Century and those candidates who control social media win elections. Just ask Barack Obama, who got elected twice despite being the most unqualified candidate in the history of the United States. But he did build up quite a following on social media.
It's time the Republicans get their heads out of their butts and start paying attention to social media.
Well you are the only person I’ve ever seen use the term, ‘hyena press.’ I’ve seen them called so many things, but nothing quite so apt. You are a wordsmith!
Mullato Marxist—lol. Another nice turn of phrase. Yes, libs are irrational when it comes to race. I recall when some half white, half black actress won the Best Actress Oscar.
One of my lib friends wrote to me, just gushing about how wonderful for a black actress to win for the first time. I wrote back, ‘How do you think that makes her white mother feel, to be completely written out of her own daughter’s heritage?’
Never heard back...of course.
