Fabulous straight talk from Trump. The reporter learns that The Donald does not suffer fools.

Interview highlights: Thanks Palin; Says, if he were POTUS, we would take Iraq's oil and compensate our allies; Would not allow Iran to take over Iraq; Would impose 25% duty on Chinese imports.

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

[Huck]

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

[Dr. Sivana]

Running as an Independent?! That would be 1992 all over again.

[KevinDavis]

Ross Perot again..

[KevinDavis]

If he runs as an independent, he is going help Obama get reelected..

[Durus]

If he ran as a independent it would insure Obama’s second term.

[Mr. Jazzy]

So, in other words, Donald Rump is going to play Ross Perot to whoever the GOP runs in order to split the conservative vote and keep Odumbo President.

Sounds about right for him to kiss and make up with all his big money elitist friends in the banking industry and Wall street.

[McGruff]

If you've been around long enough to remember Ross Perot's presidential campaign this is not good news.

[BobL]

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

[struggle]

Wow, Soros sure is smart.

[ScottinVA]

Trump is going to do what he thinks is best to insure Obama's defeat in 2012.

BS.

Trump is finally exposing himself for the amoral, self-serving attention whore that he is. Going indie and splitting the GOP vote -- and he KNOWS that would happen -- is NOT doing what "is best to ensure Obama's defeat in 2012."

The GOP's chances of defeating Obama are slim to start with. Split that vote and there's no point in even fielding a candidate.

[fulltlt]

If we were given the choice of:

Democrat: 0bama

Republican: Romney

Independent: Trump

who would you vote for?

That's just what it may boil down to.

[ScottinVA]

I’d vote for Romney over Trump. I despise Trump.

[struggle]

When I say that I mean:

1. Trump has ALWAYS been in cahoots with the Clintons.
2. Trump has a financial relationship with Soros.
3. Trump is causing flack for Obama because of #1 and #2.
4. Trump has never intended to run Republican, he hopes to split the ticket to a three way race so the idiots that vote reliably Democrat will vote Hillary in 2012.

Exactly. And I think Trump’s ties with Soros need to be explored further.

[OKSooner]

No, his intent is to help Hillary get elected.

[RoadTest]

“Trump warns that he might run as independent”

That will assure Obama;s election, if that’s who the Demonrats put up. Trumpet will simply succeed in splitting the Conservative vote so that it loses an possibility of being a majority.

Trump warns that he might run as independent

Ross Perot .... and

have been thinking that bringing up Obama's negatives this early ensures that the public will ignore those negatives when the time is right.

Trump is a tool for Obama ...

[Logic n' Reason]

If the Trumpster does indeed announce his candidacy...believe you me, he's going to get "vetted" by the msm in a way no one - not even SP - has seen before.

Had a third of what is going to be leveled at Mr. Trump been leveled at the empty suited stain now inhabiting the "white house", the stain never would have made it out of Chicago.

Nuff said. You'd probably prefer Obama back in the White House if Palin doesn't run or doesn't get the nomination. Otherwise I'm not sure how you can be happy that Trump is blackmailing the GOP. If he runs as an independent now, after he's declared himself pro-life, pro-gun, pro-birther, etc. it's the GOP nominee he'll take votes from no Obama. So it will be 1992 all over again.
