While it may be another case of “crying wolf,” real estate mogul Donald Trump has once again inserted himself as a possible contender for the 2016 presidency.

Trump told Bloomberg Politics that there is an 80 percent chance of him running in the Republican primaries, leading some to believe he may be considering a serious run at the candidacy.

Run Donald.

This is actually from the Christian Science Monitor, so take it as a real tip.

First, Trump has name recognition that is good for polling.
Second, Trump appeals to people who seek a straight-shooter and who will tell you like it is.....not political pabulum that masks true intentions.
Third, Trump is not well-liked personally for his womanizing and abusive nature.
It would be a big distraction if Trump entered the race.

Sure, Trump is a self-promoter, and he’s a bit of a goofball, and this is probably just another publicity stunt.
But I agree with most of what he says. And he is absolutely spot on when it comes to economic issues. So I do hope he makes it into the debates, at least.

“Well, it’s not fun. I’m not doing this for enjoyment. I’m doing this because the country is in serious trouble.”This has the ring of truth.
The ring of truth is one of Trump's trump cards.

If nothing ELSE he’ll keep everyone honest (translate: focused ON the issues) What's going to get Trump focused on the issues?

“Well, it’s not fun. I’m not doing this for enjoyment. I’m doing this because the country is in serious trouble.” He's doing it for the ego trip.

The last thing we need is another candidate to split the conservative vote.

Trump is not my top pick...But I would support him before I’d support Bush, Rubio and a number of others...
In fact, I could vote for Trump for President if he was the primary winner while I couldn’t vote for Bush and a few others...

I don’t much like Donald, BUT he isn’t afraid to call a thing what it IS!
The other Republican types are afraid of their own shadows!

Trump has NEVER been serious about any political office. He uses campaigning for publicity only.

Yes, the country is in serious trouble for a lot of reasons. Trump is a businessman. What is Trump’s position on the influence of the Chamber of Commerce and open borders/amnesty?

I think you mean what is his real stance since it may not be the same as he states.

If this is jsut antoehr egomanical publicity stunt FUDT, but ont he toehr hand if he is being a serious cndiate that will focus on the issues and push out the RINO's than welcome.
That being said there is no way I will vote for Jebby or Mittens. I held my nose and towed the party line during the last two presidetnial elections. I will not do that again.

He is a clown.
Anyone who thinks seriously about voting for him should have their head examined.
