As things stand now, Donald Trump will be getting my vote for President. Now a lot can happen, a lot can be said, a lot of media Trumpattacks can be hurled. But the man is the only one up there that I think can re-make America, close our Southern Border, restore our Military, return jobs to America and stop our race to the bottom. He’s paying for his run himself; he’s outside of the Washington swamp; he’s the plain speaking, larger than life candidate who presents actions that back up his words. He knows how to handle the media, something no other GOP candidate can do.
Keep in mind that Fox and the rest of the news peddlers merely parrot the talking points given them by their CEO’s who all are part of America’s vast, interlocking, media-entertainment swarm. Media will tell us who they want us to support, not who is best for our country or for us. They want what’s best for them, namely a Hillary or another Bush. Is that what we really want now– a third Bush or a third term for President Clinton, the impeached husband calling Hillary’s every move?
Another commenter spoke to the one real issue on many minds: “If Trump Builds a Border Fence, that is MORE IMPORTANT than [the promises of] any candidates combined!” On a recent Nat Geo program about the Border patrols in the Laredo, TX area, one appalling scene showed a “Stash” house, that is a way station where human traffickers stash, or park, Hispanic law breakers entering the USA illegally. A whopping 68 men from Central America and Mexico were lined up side by side along walls, in tiny spaces; one was even hiding in a kitchen cabinet.
Another raid showed Border Patrol drug busters hauling in...

Trump is running as a Republican, not an independent. He can’t split no vote.
well said sir....he has a great tone, is fearless....and he’s much closer to Democrats on many issues over the years of his adult life.
He doesn’t have a RINO tone, but he has a RINO minus record.
Presidential -- Not so much.
Trump sure is getting a lot of free publicity for his latest train wreck reality show or beauty pageant or book or marriage or whatever he is up to these days.
Trump appeals to those who want their politicians to be ‘rock stars’.
If Trump runs on jobs and stays on message he has a very good chance.
Republicans are sick of the republicans. I can barely stand to listen to the sniveling pack of quislings as they vote time and again to betray us. There is a line that has been crossed. Don’t fall down in a dead faint if Trump’s polling numbers take off.
If Trump turns out to be a serious candidate and he’s in it for the long haul I have no problem voting for him.
You do have a point he was kinda a wet pancake sort of guy
And how is he going to do all that?
The Donald had given more money to democrats and his favorite President is Clinton! That’s all I need to know!
“but he’ll need congress to agree to a wall”
The bill to build a wall has already been passed. It just wasn’t enforced.
“Trump appeals to those who want their politicians to be ‘rock stars’.’
Most of us would settle for politicians who govern by what they say while they campaign for office.
“Attention Whores deserve attention.”
As a poster correctly observed yesterday, with so many Republican candidates running for office, it would be impossible for some of them to have a chance. Would you care to comment on some of them, by name, who are also “attention whores”?
“I probably identify more as Democrat.” ~Donald Trump
If he’s running as a Republican then where are his financial filings?:He is just doing a Stephen Colbert.
lol
Speaking of which....
In 2012, the namesake of this blog (Kevin "Coach" Collins aka FReeper jmaroneps37) announced from his blog just two days after the 2012 election that
...now we know: the 14 million missing voters from Romney’s column are Evangelicals....They stayed home because they made a conscious decision to allow our Marxist enemy to continue ruining our lives rather than have Mormon Mitt Romney as our president....The Evangelicals’ hatred of Romney burns so brightly it blinded them. Self- flagellation and a willingness to aid and abet a clear enemy became preferable to them – consequences be damned .
-- from the thread Evangelicals plunge America into darkness – mislead polls and stay home on Election Day
I doubt he’ll do that, actually putting his detailed financial info out there for the world to see. That’s where he’ll quit.
He’ll probably spike, but will ultimately fizzle when his true colors are realized.
I fully understand the issue of tariffs....I fully see what the beautiful nations of the Caribbean have done to their citizens with obscene tariffs....I fully comprehend the views of John Stossel, Walter Williams, Ronald Reagan, Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell on tariffs.
I fully understand that nations don’t do trade with one another, individuals do. I fully understand that there’s no such thing as “an American job” per se - only jobs that individuals create inside America, or out.
I fully understand how the shallow mind thinks tariffs work. They don’t realize that to protect a few hundred or few thousand workers, we penalize 300 million consumers and reduce their liberty. I realize that tariffs favor certain jobs over others.
And I fully understand that if we got rid of our liberalism, our jobs would absolutely explode. It wouldn’t make any difference what China did or did not do at that point.
I think you might not understand any of that.
