What People are Saying About TRUMP

Sorry to say it, but Donald Trump's the only one -except perhaps John Bolton- saying anything even close to what I have been waiting to hear on vital defense issues... like "no nuclear Iran, no way". When Trump isn't in the room, I can already see that many important things won't even be discussed- not by the Mitt-bots of the world. Add to that his reach-out to the TEA Party, we need this guy around.

I'm as aware as anybody of Trump's negatives as a candidate, but I'll tell you this: outside of defense issues, debt and jump-starting the entrepreneurial class in this country are top of every sane GOPer's list. Alas, there's only one guy here that can say he's ever put people and resources together to conquer a challenge on this scale... and this one actually enjoys it.

As Cavuto quipped on Fox "Guys who build skyscrapers with their name on them" know how to get things done.

And plenty of positive buzz out there...

"What Donald Trump is really doing -and as I pointed out yesterday- Donald Trump is providing a lesson on how to beat Barack Obama.

"Donald Trump is showing that the way to do it is go after these people.

Not just Obama. You go after the Left, you go after the Democratic party, you don't get timid, you don't act defensive, and you don't act afraid. You just go after them."

Rodan @ Blogmocracy makes a pretty good case against those who suspect a hollow publicity stunt...

I disagree with Matt Latimer’s assessment of Trump will not run.

He’s ruined 'Trump the entertainer' brand and has crossed the Rubicon.

Clearly he’s going all in and is giving voice to segment of the Conservative movement that hasn’t had one since Reagan.

Palin came close but she was smeared by the Left and was brought out too early. Trump knows the media very well and is not afraid of them.

Ironically he’s being attack by Republcians and not the Left. I hope he turns his guns on the Rockefeller republicans and smashes them once and for all.

Trump speaks the truth and the American people are tired of lies.

Chris Moody at The Daily Caller says TEA Party hero Rep Allen West and Trump will share a stage in Florida this weekend...

Florida Congressman and Tea Party favorite Allen West isn’t opposed to the idea of joining possible presidential contender Donald Trump, West told The Daily Caller Thursday.

.......

West said when asked if he’d accept a veep invitation from Trump. “If the people think that I have an ability to continue my service of my country in a different capacity, first of all we gotta talk to God, we gotta talk to my family, we gotta talk to the constituents.”

Trump and West will speak at the same Tea Party rally in Boca Raton, Florida this Saturday.

And is Mark Levin slipping? From where I'm standing, blogger Lame Cherry handed the guy his hat with
"Stop Trashing Trump":

It is always interesting when you see someone like Mark Levin just go off on Donald Trump.

Psychologically, it means Mark Levin views Donald Trump as a threat.........one weighs whether a person is a friend or a threat.......if a threat, apprehension builds, then emotional outburst ensues which leads to attacks to neutralize the threat.

What is fascinating in how an accomplished Gentleman like Mark Levin would view Donald Trump a threat, unless he notes in Mr. Trump an upset in the apple cart which Levin and his limbs of Limbaugh and Hannity have decided who will be the Republican nominee.

I will be frank. Donald Trump is an accomplished builder of things big and extravagant. He does this immensely well in dealing with industry, union thugs, government trolls and the economy. He has had problems in marriage, has had problems in business, but that is what an American industrialist is.......you have ups and downs in taking chances in life.

I view Donald Trump not in the least as a threat. I am wary of him as he did support Obama like many did, but he is saying all the right things now.

I don't care as Mr. Levin nit picks about what the Donald only speaks of on a few issues, as Ronald Reagan had his triad and that is where he focused too.

Could Donald Trump be using this as a publicity stunt? Sure he can be up to something, but in that I see the way of utilizing Donald Trump which Mark Levin should.

Is Mr. Trump still a registered Democrat? I believe he was in 2009.

I know this is a vacuous and cheap shot against our new wonder, Trump, whom I love for all the right reasons—taking it to Obama and the msm, BUT, his voice and his central theme of his clinically proportioned self-love are going to get so-o tiresome, so-o very fast. Poor thing. I think he is a sad case of NO self esteem, struggling to be counted as “special”, and his age has made him more desperate to gain that acceptance and the admiration. Too bad.

I am a people and I am saying, it would be a big mistake to pick him. Not that I can pick one myself yet.

If he runs, I’ll eat my head (Charles Dickens). He stated on Rush today, that he is going to either announce on the finale of Apprentice, or announce a date that he will announce..

IMO that is just simply: self promotion.Not that the guy wouldn’t be better than our zero Prez, because he would.

We better pray he doesn’t run as an independent.. if so, we’ll have Zero for another 4 years, because Trump the INdependent would split the vote from our side.

Every single FReeper knew in ‘07 exactly what zero would do (which he did and does) and how he would mutiliate the office of POTUS before the rest of the world.

I guess I can’t trust anybody who couldn’t see this coming, and supposedly Trump is the least naive guy on the planet.

So, no sale.

Trump might be a good president, but I hope that he’ll get political experience, before running for that office. He should move to Conn. and run for the U.S. Seante, since Sen. Lieberman won’t run for re-election. Trump would win that race and be re-elected, in 2018. If that happens, he could be elected president in 2020 or ‘24.

At the current rate of constitutional and economic decline in this country my sense is that by election day 2012 a stuffed pumpkin could unseat the Obozo. My question to who ever that person is, will they un-do the damage and work to restore our Constitutional RULE OF LAW? If it is proved that the Obozo was in fact not eligible to be president will the next president remove the 2 Supreme Court justices (Sotomyer, Kagin {spelling?}) and will the Obozo, et al be prosecuted?

Why take a HUGE risk with Trump when Michelle Bachmann is available? (and has better hair!)

Are you bucking for Trump's campaign manager on FR?

FR opposed the liberals Giuliani and Romney in 2007-2008.

And we'll keep opposing Romney and Rudy if necessary, along with TheDonald for 2012.

No more liberals. No more RudyMcRombees. And no Trumpsters!

I like Bachmann far better, but don’t think she will beat Obama... same with Palin this time, unfortunately

Hey, I’m not endorsing Trump... just enjoying his addition tot he debate for now

And I am arguing he’s not a “joke” as a candidate... not in my view

In Obama we have the greatest gift ever given to the Republican Party - with it Conservatives could literally DESTROY the Democratic Party FOREVER!

Why are the wimps at the RNC and in the MSM so afraid to do so?

Donald Trump is a messenger; he is not yet a candidate. He is showing us the way to destroy Obama AND the Democratic Party.

To all those posting here determined to shoot the messenger — you are idiots.

2020 or '24?

At the current pace there may not even be the pretense of free and fair elections by that time.

If there is not a DRAMATIC change in direction in Washington far sooner than that there will be no chance of it happening 3 election cycles from now.

This nation, as an experiment in freedom, will be history.

Wimps in the MSM???

RNC obviously, but those are not "wimps" in the MSM...they are the children merrily following...and clearing the path for...the Pied Piper as he leads them over the cliff.

I think that our country will have free and fair elections for at least the next 10 years, especially since Republicans did well, in 2010, and because a Republican will probably be elected president, in 2012.

Trump supported Kerry for pres. He supported Hillary for pres, and he thought Barry was smart and had great potential to be a great president. Now he comes out and proclaims to be a conservative savior. He says he will cross the isle and work with the other side.

I do not trust the braggart for one second.
