So, is he "The One" who will bring sanity back to the nation, or is he the next "Ross Perot"? We do see him arguing vociferously about a birth certificate. He is hemming and hawing about running for office and his numbers place him second in the running to the king of RINO's Mitt Romney. Conservatives all over the internet are grinning like possums eating bumble bees and somehow Mr. Trump finds himself on every liberal talk show. From The View, to an MSNBC interview, "The Donald" is making his case that Obama is a "scam artist" and that "his investigators" are in Hawaii with "unbelievable" findings.
But what do we already know about "The Donald" and why should he garner Tea Party votes, let alone the Republican nomination? He has never held public office of any kind so he has no public track record other than bilking others for every red cent he could; including the tax payer. If he is running as a conservative, what his his position on abortion? What would his foreign policy be towards the middle east? Israel? Taxes and our tax system? Who would his appointments be to our supreme court? Who would he bring in as cabinet appointments? Is there any track record at all for Republicans or conservatives to judge by?
Let's look at recent business associations. His television show is an NBC product. NBC is run by Jeffrey Immelt, an Obama sycophant and corporate thief who used this administration to enrich himself and his company from the American tax payer. His show employs Gary Busey, a known Jew-hater. He produced the "Miss USA" pageant and I am sure, just by coincidence, rewarded his pageant winner Rina Fakih with the title despite her open support for Hezbollah. Oh, and a co-sponsor of his Miss USA pageant is Farouk Shami who proudly celebrated the fact that his father murdered many Jews. Then, of course, there are Mr. Trump's large business interests in that nice not-so-Jew-friendly place Dubai.
Ah, but all of this could just be "The Donald"'s pursuit of the almighty dollar at work. It could just be coincidence. What about his political affiliation? He has said in recent interviews that his political affiliation is Republican. But then, he has also stated that he believes that George Bush is the worst President in US history. In 1998 he openly discussed running for president as a Republican. That would mean he would have run against.... um.... George Bush. In 1999 he switched from Republican Party to the Reform Party and has switched back. Imagine that, he might have run against the Republicans to... well... split the vote.
And so, that brings us to the troubled presidency of Borat Insane Obama. Just as the wheels are coming off the cart of his presidency, just as it might prove hard to fund raise, just as his foreign policy blunders are piling up, the budget is blowing up, the price of oil climbing to historical highs. Just as all the lies are being replayed over and over again... The Donald comes in and screams... "Birth Certificate" and blows all Obama stupidity and malfeasance off the first story on MSNBC and puts in a rodeo clown to wave a red cape in front of the "mad bulls" in the conservative movement to change the argument.
Voila! The fund raising letters go out this week. Obama is filling up fund raisers in New York and San Francisco at $36K per head. Now, to be fair, it wasn't Donald who they are quoting, but the timing is extremely suspicious- and Mr. Chump.. er Trump has played this act before. As just stated in 1999... but also in 2008. Oh and I forget- there are pictures donating to Rahm Emanuel's campaign in Chicago. Replete with the obligatory campaign photo.
And then there is an article in US news asking the same question, "Is Donald Trump a Democratic Sleeper Agent?". Then there was his meeting with 20 Blue Dog DemocRATs in New York earlier this year. So could it be? Maybe a sleeper agent. But then again, maybe a megalomaniac. Maybe he is making some sort of business deal.
Maybe we are all just being "Ross Perot"'d.
He’s playing every single one of you like a 2 dollar banjo. All Freepers heard was “wheres the birth certificate?”
And that was all she wrote...
People are desperate for someone relativley prominent who has not been decried as "unelectable" before a ballot is cast.
The "You're fired!" guy fits the bill, in the public psyche.
Hang the fact that people only know a little more about him and his positions on the issues than Obama.
If Trump wants to hammer the eligibility issue, fine, but I do not think that alone makes him fit for the Oval Office.
I'd still take Palin or Bachman over the Donald. West and Cain are two I'd like to hear more about, too.
The best of all worlds would be for Obama to get trumped on the BC issue, and then Trump does not run, leaving the way open for a true ideological conservative. If we had one, that is. Those who think Trump is a true conservative are Trump chumps.
Conversely, the worst of all worlds would be for Trump to get trumped, and then go third party splitting the conservative vote putting Obama in there for another term. Perish the thought.
I don’t really care if people here want to vote for him, but the amount of people deluding themselves about his supposed conservatism is insane.
Oh crap, you're thinking like me now (See post above yours).
That should scare the heck out of you :^)
Something along those lines. I think he’s connected to Soros. It is rumored that Soros is displeased with the “one” and is looking for a replacement. Soros knows that Sarah has the support of too many conservatives for obama to be reelected. He needs a “Perot” to split the Tea Party vote.
Yeah, the manipulation is blatant. But obviously very profitable for Trump. He is a master of self-promotion.
If Trump wants to hammer the eligibility issue, fine, but I do not think that alone makes him fit for the Oval Office.
Trump is more fit than the idiot we have now.
Nah. GMTA!
Let us hope and pray that he doesn't. It would be a complete disaster, and would usher in a second term for Obama, as our vote would surely split.
So are most of my grandchildren, but that doesn't make them presidential material, either. It isn't just a question of more fit, it is a question of who is best.
I like what the Donald is doing for the time being. I hope he is smart enough to resist the temptation to be another Perot. That is the only thing that will give us another four years of Barry.
Vote for your grandchildren then.
LOL, boy I sure hope so, ain't much room for error in 2012!
People are on the Trump bandwagon because as conservatives, or Republicans, we hunger for someone with guts. Trump is giving that to the people in spades.
We’re tired of the wishy, washy, mealy-mouthed Republicans who have jelly spines. This is why he is resonating with the American public right now.
Never mind his past issues - people are hungry and desperate. Hopefully, common sense will set in eventually.
$24,750 to Charlie Rangel, including $10,000 in 2006.
LOL! The birfer delusion is not the way to defeat Obama in 2012, in any case, and the Donald is a fixture of the 'Rat-infested entertainment industry, not a serious candidate for political office.
You want Obama to get a second term????
