3 years after watching Romney

It's not that Romney didn't TRY to win - the fact was, he was a HORRIBLE candidate from the getgo (Romneycare, anyone?). If Romney was a REAL Conservative, he would have done much better. The momentum was on his side, and he certainly campaigned like he meant it. But again, he was a rotten candidate from the beginning.

I’ve got about as much shot of being president as Nader and Perot.

Not knowing anything about you, I'd say you may be right. I don't believe I would have near the chance as those 2, but I CAN say one thing: neither you, I, Nader or Perot had nearly the chance to become President as a 3rd party candidate as Trump does. If ever there were a shot at a 3rd party winning, I'd be willing to bet it would be Trump.

most people think he’s an @#$#$^%^, because he is.

I have a tendency to think he is too, but, quite honestly, I also tend to respect him despite that, as do many other Americans. Just saying someone is an a$$ isn't a reason not to vote for them.

I already answered you, sorry if you don’t like the answer but it’s rather obvious that the guy that has donated to every single Clinton campaign since ‘92 is comfortable with no gain other than having a Clinton in the White House again. He has a long track record of being willing to put money to that cause with no other gain.

If he just wanted Hitlery to win, he would simply continue donating, and let her do the 'dirty work', without risking his ego or executive reputation. Common sense says so, and is evidenced by the fact that he DOES have the ego he has. So instead of running like he means it, as he is doing, he would be better off dumping several billion into Hitlery's efforts, and sit back and let her do the dirty work.

It's not that I don't like your answer. I've mulled your answer over with the rest, and still NOTHING makes sense as to why he would go to such great lengths just to help Hitlery. He wouldn't do so without SOMETHING to gain himself - so tell me, WHAT does he stand to gain? $$$? He already has that. Fame??? He already has that. Attention??? He already has that. So, why go to this great length, with nothing to gain and everything to lose?

He may be an a$$, but he isn't stupid, by any stretch of the imagination.

Why wouldn’t he go to such great lengths? He gets all the ego stroking fun, all the extra press, and maybe gets to see one of his favorite people in the White House. He doesn’t have anything to lose really. It’s not going to damage any of his businesses. Sure a couple of his TV shows went away, but they were all long in the tooth and low in the viewership anyway. Only way he actually loses anything is if he actually wins next November, being president would hamper a lot of his business dealings. One way or the other this is a stunt candidacy, the only real question is what’s the final “trick” at the end. Is he doing it to help Hillary win? Is he doing it to restoke a fame that was fading? Is he doing it because he’s realized the whole political process has gotten stupid so why not make it even dumber?
