Who does have a billion dollars to spend on his own campaign? And who would be stupid enough to do that? How come certain candidates aren't trying to get on the ballot in every state?

You liberals will do anything to bring down a conservative.

This link gives information in that regard. He seems to go back and forth, that is to say, he’ll say something that comes across as pro-choice, and then he quickly backs off of it.

You don’t get those types of reactions from Santorum, Huckabee, or Jindal, though. At least I’ve never heard them stray from 100% pro-life [over the years], yet they are sitting at the bottom of the polls. :(

Dr. Carson has a GREAT life story, and he’s hated for it.

A lot of people have a great and inspirational life story but that doesn't mean they should be president.

Do we have a recent statement regarding where he stands on prolife issues? ‘92 is an awfully long time ago, and many have become ardently prolife in smaller time spans than that.

P.S. to donna: I enjoyed reading your profile page. If you don’t mind, I’d like to copy and paste it into a Word document that I can send to my friends.

Okay, Trump says a lot of things. Trump saying something is no more proof than Bill Clinton saying something. Their are two problems with your argument: 1. Trump doesn't have a billion dollars, especially liquid. 2. I think Trump is not that bright, but I don't think he's stupid enough to spend his OWN money on a presidential campaign. C'mon no one is that stupid.

But you ignored the proof is in the pudding: Trump has only spent a tiny bit of money. If he were serious, he'd be building up now. The media is not pointing out he's only built enough of a campaign to get by. Why isn't he trying to get on the ballot in all 50 states.

Before you expect anyone to believe anything Trump says can you explained why he PROMISED he had blockbuster news about Obama's birth certificate, which turned out to be a total lie, and a Geraldo/Al Capone's tomb level fraud.

Before the re-election, Trump made Obama's critics look like a laughingstock. Who do you think Trump's discrediting of Obama critics helped in the 2012 election? Trump did more to get Obama re-elected than anyone else in the country.

Do you have any response to the Trump's making a total CLOWN and LOSER of himself? How can someone support a JOKE like that?

He’s a kind, decent and honest man.

Also brilliant, of course.

The more I see and hear him interviewed the more I like his instincts and convictions. He doesn’t have to search for his answers, he knows what he believes.

All this crap about ‘not having experience’ to be prezzy is just that. Shoot. If you know what is right and wrong you are going to be all right, better than all right.

Carson can talk to the people and move his policies forward.

We have a few good candidates this time around. He damn sure is one of them.

Slowly but surely black conservatives are comming forth accepting the reality that Obama created this hyphenation of Americans using race for his own political purposes. (linked below)

Supporting what I’ve been posting here in FR’s for years charging Obama employed a political tactic to defer any constitutional questioning action of the 1st branch by the 2nd branch of government.

The sad part is we do have a black candidate now in second place in current polling running for POTUS who has yet to speakout on this matter.

Again, are you his next-door neighbor or his banker? How would you know how much money he has or how liquid he is? You are HILARIOUS!! Okay, now tell us all about the scandal of his network marketing endeavors ... that’s my favorite!!

Basically, you are saying you believe everything the media and Trump tells you?

There have been two more in-depth, objective studies of Trump's wealth. One book, which used the best sourcing, said it was $150-$250 million. (this was a few years ago) Trump sued them over that information. HE LOST THAT CASE IN COURT. In a deposition he admitted to exaggerating his wealth, using other fraudulent numbers, and basing his net worth on how he felt! You are supporting a clown!

Still now reply on Trump Rivera’s claim he had blockbuster revelations on Obama’s birth certificate.

You are allegedly a Cruz supporter but you support the person who is kamikazeing Cruz’ campaign. You mean you are a liberal fifth columnist in the Cruz camp?

BTW, Trump has a Prada store in one of his buildings that is worth over $200 million dollars, so your math doesn’t add up.

That’s a serious showstopper for me. These are not your father’s vaccines nowadays, leading to many, many adverse reactions and even deaths. The gubbmint has even admitted there is a secret court with plaintiffs gagged before they receive compensation.

I like and respect Dr. Carson otherwise; he’s just badly misguided here.

I think Carson probably is a good man.

I am well aware of his religion, and if he sticks to it’s tenets, it would tell me all I needed to know about character.

What Carson doesn’t have is the economic end of the knowledge.

We can kid ourselves if we want, but Trumps economic and business experience will be an amazing asset to the nation.

If his heart is it the right place, and he means what he says, I think Trump is the go-to guy.

The media is trying to rehab the jbush divide and conquer strategy.

It is the McCain playbook.
