Me too I would have no problem with Trump simply because he holds nothing back, he is a guy who would NOT put up with ANY BS from liberals, and he gets away with it. This is guy who called Rosie O’Donnell a pervert ha hah and not one gay or lesbian group dared say anything about it. But I think this POTUS campaign is all just another one of his publicity stunts
Don’t you realize that Trump isn’t really running?
to quote a rather infamous pic that i can’t find right now: “aw geez! not this sh!t again!”
Yes I believe that Trump if he really was serious would be a formidable candidate. For starters he isn’t doing it for the usual reasons most of these hacks run. He really just wants to save the country. Trump would have to take a few steps down in life to be President. Living in the Whitehouse would be like moving to a trailer park for him and Melania. He’s not doing it for the perks.
The other thing is Trump is like a Yenta. He can sit down and schmooze with men or women and talk them into all kinds of stuff.
The press will not bang on him as hard as they will on any other Republican candidate either. Can you imagine what the press would have done to Romney if he had gone on TV and started up that birth certificate talk like Trump did? It would have been a feeding frenzy.
Don’t fall for all that talk about how he donates so much money to the Democrats. Yes he does because he does business in the Democratic Socialist States of the NE. If you want the contracts you donate to the political campaigns. Its just business.
Is he running this time? Don Trump is plain spoken and he’s done a lot of good for New York and for other cities.
does his show need more PR?
again...
Trump make Perot look reasonable.
And what did he find?
Oh barf. Trump is doing it for ego, exactly the same reason why the others are running. It's just that his ego is so much larger than anyone elses.
“And what did he find?”
More lies. And he still maintains his reservations. At least he looked into it, didn’t he. More than most others did. I like The Donald. It appears you don’t. Each to their own. At least he’s got cajones.
More lies? For example?
More than most others did.
That's not entirely true. I'm sure that Sheriff Joe's Cold Case Posse will be releasing their findings any day now. Or any month now. Or any year now.
At least he’s got cajones
And little else.
You are now nitpicking and boring me. I get it, you don’t like him. Plenty of others do. As I said before, each to their own. Now, silence is golden, please.
I hope Trump gets in the race he will liven things up and keep these other guys honest in the debates just like Newt did in 2012.
Frankly right now If Ted Cruz doesn’t get in the race Trump would be my 1 or 2 pick. I would have no problem voting for him for President. Most of these guys who are going to run if they win will just be a placeholder for the next Democrat. Career politicians are whats ruining this country.
I'm sorry but I don't see the need for the Trump Comedy Hour to liven things up, and I think Cruz and Walker will certainly keep things honest.
Frankly right now If Ted Cruz doesn’t get in the race Trump would be my 1 or 2 pick.
Fortunately I don't think you will be disappointed on Cruz. And I can't think of anything that could make me want to vote for the likes of Donald Trump. Trump, Carson, Cain, Fiorina, all are wasting peoples time.
Oh cmon do you really want to watch the every 4 year yawn fest that is the GOP primary debates? A bunch of crony hack career politicians scared to death to take a real stand or say what they think in case they may lose a vote? I’m sick of it. I want to see a guy who could care less get up there and put out a coherent vision for the country. Like it or not Trump has one. And I predict he will fare very well with the public if he chooses to run. I am praying he runs and livens things up.
Trump’s father became wealthy by building large amounts of blue and white collar housing. Trump had higher and richer aspirations. If Trump really wanted to win, he would copy some of his father’s moves.
He is like Ross Perot in that he is very wealthy and understands wealth creation. He has not done anything heroic like Perot. One problem with elected officials is they are mostly lawyers. Like a carpenter thinking the only tool is a hammer, lawyers think the only tool is a law. Law”makers” can also be law unmakers. There are many laws I see could be eliminated or tweeked in ways that would improve prosperity. And I am not talking about getting rid of laws that can stop the banksters from putting together fraudulent mortgage packages and palming them off on suckers. Someone who has had experience in making large amounts of money might be able to figure out how to stop governments from hemorrhaging money from every pore. They could start with laws that make it very hard for poor people to become independent entrepreneurs. People who want the poor to be dependent on government are already doing that in a lot of places.
Ask any New Yorker. Trump ha been great for that city.
