Mr. Trump said that a presidential campaign without him would become so “boring” that he would struggle to pay any attention to it.

Back to business as usual? It was be an epic wave depression across the country. The anger level would go from level III to off the charts permanently.

The corrupt main stream media, professional con-men in DC, influence peddlers, La Raza, lobbyist, Mexico, Communist academia and the rest would be dancing in the streets.

I’m not the one supporting a lifelong liberal democrat in a republican primary.

I like Cruz almost as much as I like Trump, so I do have a fallback position. But, yes, there are only 2 candidates in the race I would consider. For me, there is no race without either of those two.

Trump is correct. I can't remember the last time I paid this much attention to a presidential campaign that was still over a year away!

Usually I don't start focusing on the campaign until a few weeks prior to the Iowa and NH contests.

If Trump never got in this race, I don't think anybody would even know who Ben Carson is. Jebbie, Rubio and probably Walker would be the frontrunners. More attention would be getting paid to the Democrats with the Bernie Sanders vs Shrillary Clinton contest.

Donald Trump is 100% correct and right on the money!!! You will witness the truth of his words, come October, 13th, 2015, when the Democrat Party has its first debate. If the the Democrats can muster up 24 million votersor more, for their debate...I will eat crow!!! Otherwise....Trump is right on target. We shall see in just a few short days!!! Oh, by the way...I will not be among those watching the “Obamabot America Destroyers” in the Democrat Party debate!!!

Well I for one, if Trump had not decided to run for President, would have moved to Italy....where my ancestors came from...

It wouldn't have been any worse or better, knowing what kind of idiots would be running the rest of this Country in the ground....

Don't get me wrong, I love America, but what the House, Senate, Bushes, Clintons, and now the Kenyan have done to her is to painful to watch the rest of the ‘commies’ to finally destroy what she once was...

Thank God for President Trump!!! He loves America, he wants her to survive and be the Great Lady she should be...

no, his fans would just go back to watching Honey Boo Boo...................................... Like Cruz more than Trump, but if its against Hillary, I’d go with Trump. Cruz is too intelligent for the Honey Boo Boo crowd, they’d be turned off by him. (If there are Republicans watching that crap, I don’t think they are actually Republicans.) Cruz will have a problem with most of the voters, he would be speaking way over their heads. In an ideal world you would be dealing with well informed, and educated voters. Unfortunately we have to deal with a plethora of dumb down voters who would normally vote Democrat. Cruz would get the Republican vote but not so much those in the middle and democrats. Trump is appealing to many, he speaks to them at their level. Mr average guy is listening to him. Its ABC, anyone but Clinton.

This is what they want Sam.

Total apathy and mass disgust to the point where Americans won't even vote. Most Americans know damn well DC is completely rigged and controlled by the sultans of sham and and disciples of deceit. Trump is a massive threat to their corrupt insider interests and agendas of even larger and more controlling government.

A Populist who is maybe 60% Conservative is probably the best we can hope for in this election.

The way the country is headed we’ll be damned lucky if Bernie does not win.
