Anyone who believes Donald Trump is "in it to win it" I think is seriously mistaken.

Having said that: Trump isn't my choice. Hard to take him seriously as a candidate. I do however appreciate the fact that he speaks truth to the issues that many Conservatives, and I'd argue blue-dog Democrats care deeply about, illegal immigration being one of them.

The whole illegal immigration issue strikes alot of chords with both Conservatives and blue-dog and heck, even some moderate Democrats who think their party has swung way too far to the left.

So I like the fact that Trump speaks plainly and bluntly on illegal immigration, our messed up economy, Obama's incompetence, etc.. and in doing so, is holding the Republican Party's feet to the fire.

At the end of the day, Trump speaks alot of truth. The Republican Establishment / GOP-E snobs may not like how he says it, but he speaks truth nonetheless.

Still, he's not a serious candidate and somewhere along the way one can't help but think he's going to embarrass himself and that'll be the end of his campaign.

The question is: Is The Donald willing to be POTUS for four years without tiring of the hassles of the job?

“Still, he’s not a serious candidate and somewhere along the way one can’t help but think he’s going to embarrass himself and that’ll be the end of his campaign.”

Have you ever stopped to think about the self-discipline required to amass billions of dollars in a field as competitive as real estate? There aren’t too many billionaires for a reason; it is not easy. It takes a serious person to accomplish that. He obviously takes what he does seriously. He is leading in the national polls, and you say he is not a serious candidate?

"....still, he's not a serious candidate."

Since he's shown he's more serious and emphatic about any number of issues than all the other candidates put together, I wonder what he has personally stated that convinces you he's not "serious" and is "not in it to win it"...and please provide a link to back up your analysis....just one will do.

Trump seems serious enough and is making things interesting - he has now made my short list behind Cruz and Walker and is poised to jump to #2 ahead of Walker if he keeps going the way he is (the meeting with Cruz may prove interesting).
