"I don't hear (Team Obama) talking about Mr Pawlenty
or anybody else... they're only talking about Trump"
Donald Trump is already claiming to be the one Barack Obama fears the most, and based upon the telling cheap shot that David Plouffe -of DNC Troll Patrol fame- took last weekend on Face the Nation... he may be right.
Trump's people are now investigating Obama's well-shrouded background, employing "great resources... looking into it very seriously". Like the seasoned competitor and showman that he is, The Donald also makes sure to let loose a daily round or two himself to keep that Trump name on the front pages whilst he chips away steadily at the false Obama narrative...

"Libya! a total mess- I mean, the man is doing a terrible job as president"
"(Obama) has no control over OPEC because they don't respect him"
"You're going to see your gasoline for your car be six, seven,
and eight dollars a gallon very soon"
"Just show us the (Obama long-form BC) proof"
"I like how now (Obama) says 'we have to work on the budget'- where the heck has he been for the last two years?"
"Here's a guy who's never done a deal in his life, except with Tony Rezko..."
"His grandmother said very clearly he was born in Kenya... until all the handlers went crazy"
"...why is his family arguing over which hospital he was born in?
They don't even know..."
"Let the ObamaCare case go straight to the Supreme Court"
"The last person they want to run against is me... and I know that from a fact, from people who are very close to Obama"
"I will tell you this: the country's not respected... it's poorly run... we're a laughing stock throughout the world..."
"There are a lot of things we can do to reduce that deficit...
and I mean in a hurry"
"I would love to take (Obama) on"

Trump 2012...?
Truth be told, the knee-jerk reaction was negative... then I started thinking: I want a real fighter to rip into Obama hard while also a true conservative we can depend on to swing a mean budget axe... willing to go on the offensive to unseat this heinous regime in the most aggressive fashion possible. Otherwise, the unholy Prog/MSM alliance will simply chew us up... much as they've already done to Palin, sadly.
But it's not just the debt, and of all our numerous simultaneous crises the economy is the one likely to make or break the 2012 election, barring a terrorist attack or other momentous event.
Who do we have running (or thinking about it) that possesses the acumen for jump-starting entrepreneurs and small business? We can't affford to fail this time, the country's on the financial ropes. Besides Donald Trump, maybe Mitt Romney... but I'd take Trump over him or any similar RINO in a New York minute- wouldn't you?
Clearly Trump would fight like a tiger... and have fun doing it, a key to success in any endeavor. Add to that essential quality his business background, powerful name recognition, winning take-no-prisoners style and true conservative platform (below)... I'm going to give the guy a real serious look... if he can beat Obama, I can't say I'd have any real issues with a Trump presidency.
He also has vast experience dealing with politicians of all stripes -both domestic and international- and I doubt any personal baggage 3x married Trump brings will make a difference this time- the country is scared, and seeks a firm hand bringing practical solutions stat.
Trump has stated he'll "probably" run as an independent if denied the GOP nomination... so we all better get used to the idea of a Trump 2012 campaign- seems a near certainty.
The balance of any Trump platform might be expected to look a little something like this, based on prior statements...
more conservative than expected? That was my impression:
____________________________________________________________________
- Supports a fair trade policy and believes generally that the People's Republic of China should be considered more of an adversarial competitor, subjected to significant import tariffs as a response to China's currency policy in order to help balance the U.S. budget.
- Believes the U.S. should disengage in Iraq and Afghanistan

I’m still a little suspicious but Trump is making the rest of the field seem like a bunch of cowards. It’s amazing the service he’s providing. Finally, someone is saying what he’s saying...and he’s a liberal so people listen. He can go on nbc and they’ll let him talk, at least for a little while until they go whole hog and try to politically assassinate him.

Hey mnering:
We get it, you keep posting that same old graph on every Trump thread. This is almost the 10th time you’ve posted this same content.
If we cared about ontheissues.org, or how Rudy or Clinton map out on the issues we’d be on ontheissues.org website.

What kind of person argues that the 14th Amendment changed the qualifications for POTUS?
The 14th Amendment had nothing to do with the unique qualifications laid out in the Constitution for POTUS.
Are you ready to admit that now?
To: dawn53
the only easy path to re-election for Obama is if Trump runs as an indy.
Maybe Trump doesn’t want him gone, but wants him to stay?
I think we should judge his actions, not his words.

Mark Levin:
"Trump is NOT the real deal. He will get Obama re-elected. This is not a game. This is not a circus. He is not a conservative. He was happy to donate to Schumer, Weiner, & Emanuel campaigns last year. He was pro-choice recently and now claims to be pro-life. He sounds more & more like Ross Perot. If he runs as an Independent, Obama wins. We should not encourage this."

As long as people drool all over Trumps feet, buy into the media hype, and actually think he is Conservative, I’ll post it.
We are becoming infested with American Idle voters.

Trump said he will run as an independent, split the Republican vote, & re-elect Obama.
To: Reaganite Republican
I'm having flashbacks of Ross Perot.
The only reason that this guy is palatable at all, is that he's the anti-Obama-- and is finally raising the questions that a plurality of us have been asking since day 1.
Trump is not, and never has been, a conservative-- unless you compare him to Obama. But then again, Bill Clinton is a conservative when compared to Obama.
Trump is serving a useful purpose right now, and I applaud him for what he's doing, but I hope he doesn't become the GOP nominee for President.

The left have enjoyed widespread acceptance of many falsehoods as fact. These include the falsehoods that 1) they are the friends of the middle class and the ‘little guy’, 2) they are intellectual, 3) they are non-discriminatory and better for blacks and minorities, 4) they are more altruistic, 5) they represent the middle of the road non-radical position.
For many of these the exact opposite is true. Republicans, however, spend the vast majority of their time trying to defend themselves against claims from the left that it is the Republicans who are radical.
To win back the country conservatives and Republicans have to be willing to take the fight to the left, and control the narrative. You don't win fights by backpedaling and not throwing any punches. If you let the other side load up and take shots without having to worry about getting hit back, they will, and some of those shots will land.
It is refreshing to watch someone like Trump who is willing to throw punches and mix it up. The Republicans need to ridicule the left and push them back onto their heels. It's required.

To be fair, Trump said “probably” he would run as an Indy but would seek the Republican nomination. Trump says he is in it to win.
To: Reaganite Republican
You forgot one, numbnutz, "I'll run as an independent if I don't win the republican nomination".
How do you like mr. wonderful now?

Trump says he would run as an independent if he doesn’t get the nomination. He is trying to re-elect Obama it sounds like to me.
He is NOT a conservative in my book, he is a clownish buffoon.

If he runs as an independent, he's nothing more than Obama’s boot licking toadie.Correctamundo.
He needs to read up on Ross Perot.

A little bit ago I heard an ad for Oreilly tonight. He is going to explore allegations that Obama has covered up his college and other records. I predict O'Reilly's "exploration" will end with zero discovery.
To: Reaganite Republican
The Trump backers are just dreaming. I can’t believe you all are so desperate that you’d believe his shtick is real.

If Trump wants to beat Obama, he should run in the Democrat primary against him.
