>> Trump is ... possibly the right person to lead the nation. Any thoughts from fellow freepers?
Sure. I think you’re insane. :-)
But I have to admit I am REALLY enjoying him running off at the mouth, for now. He gets press, too.
Absolutely works for me.
He’s not a social conservative at all. And for that I won’t vote for him. But I’m glad he’s in the race so far, because he does bring a businessman’s perspective to trade and oil. I think he will help steer the discussion to the right subjects and right solutions.
I’d love to see him put in charge of Homeland Security. He’d fire the incompetents and secure the border.
He’s saying things because (IMO), he’s not really going to run. Trump is best at one thing: Promoting Trump.
He’s a vainglorious lib who pimps for Hitlery.
Yes, he is saying things others are too scared to mention. I like that about Trump. Maybe he’s doing it for publicity. That’s most certainly part of it. Yet, he’s willing to stick his reputation out on the line. I’m not decided yet, but I could be convinced to support him if he can also convince me he’s a bonafide conservative. It would take a lot of convincing, but he’s on the right track so far.
Donald Trump, while (perhaps) arguably conservative on some issues, would be such a disaster as a political candidate that grad-students would write doctoral dissertations based on his campaign on how not to do it.
His angle now is good. Asking questions. His history of general administration support, especially Hillary, is a better context to view IMO.
Obama seemed like the right man too back 2008....and he said all the right things and talked so moderately for a lot of people and once he got in office the he shed his sheep clothing....Now Trump isn’t Obama most likely as far as a leftist but for someone who called John Kerry a friend and liked Hillary etc....i would be highly suspicious.
He seem like he will go to the highest bidder..which ever way!
If the Repubs are stupid enough to run him, Huckabee or Palin then we deserve 4 more years of Osama...
I will state the obvious and say I would vote for him over Obama.
That said, he has way too much baggage from his often odd TV appearances, being bankrupt, wives etc...
He would be too easy for the MSM to change the subject away from the disaster that is Obama.
The GOP nominee must be a conservative without the personal problems who can daily repeat again and again why Obama is a disaster. See the 1980 campaign for example.
He’s a self-promoter and Hillary supporter. Period.
Don’t be fooled.
Didn’t he go bankrupt twice?
And well you shouldn't be. Trump is for Trump - first, foremost, and always.
Invariably they will disappoint in a matter of days/weeks.
I would never decide on a President on the basis of a few good comments.
However, Trump is doing the country a service with his statements and for that I am grateful. (But he wouldn't make a good Pres).
He’s using bonafide “birthers” to promote himself. I repeat: He’s using others to get ahead in life.
Trump has the guts to say things that most of the GOP in the US congress is too chicken $hit to bring up.
Any thoughts from fellow freepers?
You are an idiot easily amused by monkeys wearing a fez and top coat clanging on cymbals.
You are the epitome of the failure of the American consumer class to fulfill the duties of citizenship.
You vote based upon the appearance of power, instead of the power of ideas.
You have more knowledge of your belly button than politics.
Other than that, Trump’s own business partners know he’s a moron. Go listen to what Wilbur Ross really thinks about Donnie Jr.

Steve Martin’s Monologue
.....Steve Martin
.....John Belushi
Remember that old Steve Martin joke about the secret formula for becoming a millionaire?
“First, get a million dollars ...”
Donnie Jr has never made a dime in his life for his investors in total, due to his repeated failed projects. His companies are BK in total and have been since 2006, and he started the TV show to maintain income stream.
Catch his appearance tonight on Greta. He is really putting the pressure on Obama and people like O’reilly are going to have a hard time continuing to ignore this issue.
He actually said tonight that he is starting to have great concerns that Obama may not be showing the birth certificate because he was not born in the US which would make his presidency ILLEGAL!
Holy crap batman:
I don't think Trump is serious about running but I do think he now believes Obama is not eligible and he is out to expose this to the American people. Go Donald Go!!
Trump is an idiot.
But I hope he keeps talking about the trade deficit, the birth certificate, the off shoring of jobs and China.
