I dare say, Romney would be taking votes away from Trump.

I don,t know but i just try to put myself in his place, would i be willing to lose my entire fortune and my reputation unless i was sure of what i was talking about? no way.

And what is it that he's doing right now that puts him at risk of losing his entire fortune?

Reputation is relative...

“NEVER would I vote for Romney. I choked down that pill with McCain in `08 and look what it got us.”

Voting for crappy Republican candidates goes back well past McCain. I voted for McCain only because of Palin. I am sick of globalist Repubs and believe Romney is cut from the same cloth as Bush Jr.
If the Republican Party can not break away from its globalist agenda, it needs to die.
I too refuse to give my vote to another candidate out of fear of the opposition gaining control of the White House.

Yep. The Clintons and the Emanuels couldn’t be more pleased—or proud of themselves.

There’s no way a Pubbie wins if Trump has Perot’s position in 2012—and I just don’t see him either dropping out or getting the GOP nomination, so the setup is coming into focus perfectly. The Dems are just better at hardball politics than the GOP.

If Romney gets the Republican nomination he has a chance as an independent in 2012 the way he’s been polling.

I think he’s a tool of the Clintons—that will end up playing out perfectly for Obama.

Rom Emanuel gets $50.000 mayoral campaign donation from Trump. Is the Chicago machine orchestrating Obamas exit and Hillary's entrance with Trump's help? Just a thought.

Let's hope he's dwelling back under the rock where he belongs when the primaries are said and done.

Trump will not run unless he can win.

Trump should play the following card:

If the Factcheck.org COLB is legit, why didn’t Obama and his lawyers submit it as evidence in all [12?] court cases rather than spend over $2 mm fighting over “standing”?

Reason: Rules of Evidence. The other side could challenge the authenticity of the COLB under oath.

This alone is the smoking gun.

I'm a Palin supporter. Trump is going to do what he thinks is best to insure Obama's defeat in 2012.

If he runs as an Independent and splits the conservative vote, he will GUARANTEE an Obama victory, just as Ross Perot enabled Bill Clinton to win in 1992 with clinton getting just 43% of the vote.

Yep...that's exactly what I meant in my post.

I suspect he's playing on Hillary's court. I could be wrong, but I have a gut feeling about this.

I'm glad he's dogging Obama on various issues, but I hope people take a much more careful look before falling all over Trump and declaring their undying support, etc.

I never said I would vote for Romney. I said Romney has more personal integrity than Trump. Make of that what you will.

Perhaps....just perhaps....you might want to try concentrating on current day issues...those there is still time to do something about.

Soften it by the passage of time if you wish. The undeniable truth is...it's part of Trump's background. It warrants scrutiny... just as RomneyCare dogs Mitt Romney and Bill Ayers was part of 0bama's life.

We're just going to have agree to disagree on this. You're obviously a fan of Trump's and I'm not. Under no circumstances will Donald Trump ever get my vote.

agreed, I wish he and Huckabee would just go away. Its like when I was a teen and there were those kids who would hang around no matter how hard you tried to ditch ‘em. They just keep showing up.

The Pubbies still lose even if Romney or Huckabee or McCain or any of the other good old boy club wins.

And I disagree, Trump I don’t think would let himself be used as a pawn by anyone, for anyone elses purpose. Say what you will about him, but he is his own man, which is saying alot more than can be said for any of the so called “safe” candidates the RNC will try and run.

Sorry, I’m not letting Oprah pick my candidate.

If the pubbies cannot find someone with backbone to run, then I won’t hold my nose and vote for a jellyfish. They do more harm than good to this country by reaching across the isle.

Trump is a smack-talking pied-piper and anyone who trusts him is a chump.

Call 'em Trump's Chumps.

It would be close for me. It is pathetic that in a country so great! We would have this pile of ____ as choices for President. I would probably end up voting for Romney in the end.

I can’t blame Third Party types from rising up, after the performance of the House Republicans last week.

Trump didn't criticize Boehner's budget deal.

Oh I wasn’t questioning your voting proclivities. I was merely pointing out that even though Romney has more integirty than Trump, there’s still np reason I’d vote for him. Sor for the misunderstanding.
