I’m not mad at him, I just think he’s a self aggrandizing liberal opportunist who would make a lousy President.
Very well put! Sums up my thinking perfectly. Trump is doing a great job going after Obama and generally pointing out how stupidly we carried out our foreign affairs and trade policy. That doesn't translate into being a good president.
Donald Trump is Ross Perot for the new millennium Also, his admission that he would consider a third-party run if he didn't get the GOP nomination marks him as a sore loser and traitor. He's disqualified if he won't respect the rules of the contest.
Finally, there's that little problem that He's A Liberal!
He’s playing rodeo clown for Obama.
Agreed, but as long as he's attacking Obama (and effectively), I won't complain.
So what is your problem with him taking the point on this mission when nobody else has the gonads to do so? I wouldn’t give a plug nickle for him but as long as he is out there on the point, I will do my damndest to make sure everyone in the patrol at least pays attention to what he sees ahead of us.
I sense that as long as it is not someone you agree with that everyone else should keep their mouths shut? That kind of logic is the main reason we are where we are.
Not to say that it is germain to this instance, but Norma McCorvey is now one of the most ardent pro-lifers out there, you know the “Roe” in Roe vs. Wade?
I still would not vote for him but I can consider the chance that even he has had enough, and he has the stature and name recognition to move the arguement forward.
Levin rips Donald Trump to shreds
Posted by The Right Scoop on Apr 15, 2011 in Politics
Audio:
Levin points out many things about Trump that show he is no conservative, but a few of the glaring ones are the fact that he support Charlie Crist over Marco Rubio twice, as well as calling for the impeachment of George W. Bush, accusing him of lying to get us in the war. Oh yeah, and he supported Universal Health Care in America, the Canadian style.
And there’s more. This is a must listen.

America: It’s time to dump Trump

Think Donald Trump is a strong conservative alternative to President Obama? You might want to think again! Pat and Stu juxtaposed some of his recent, aggressive comments with ones he made not that long ago. He criticized Bush, praised Obama, and more!
What were some of the things he was saying just two years ago?
Trump right after 2008 election: “Bush has been so bad, maybe the worst president in the history of this country.” “So incompetent, so bad, so evil.”
For comparison, Trump now says: “ [Obama]‘s been a horrible president. I always said the worst president was Jimmy Carter.”
Trump in 2008: “You can be enemies with people, whether it’s Iran or Iraq or any other place, have dialogue. [Bush people] won’t even talk to him. It’s terrible.”
Stu pointed out that Trump is essentially making a policy statement here. “Bush sucks because he won’t talk to President Ahmadinejad. That was his point there: We should be meeting with these people; we can have a dialogue.”
Trump in 2008 on Obama: “I think he has a chance to go down as a great president. Now, if he’s not a great president, this country’s in trouble. I think he’s going to lead through consensus. It’s not going to be a bull run like Bush did, he just did whatever the hell he wanted, go into a country, attack Iraq which had nothing to do with the World Trade Center, just do it because he wanted to do it.”
DONALD TRUMP donates $50,000 to RAHM EMANUEL campaign for Mayor in Chicago
Democrats and Republicans sitting in a tree...

“Illinois law placed no limits on political contributions until Jan. 1, and Emanuel made the most of the opportunity. He collected more than 70 contributions of $50,000 or more, accounting for roughly half the $10.5 million he raised by the end of last year. Those contributions alone were more than was raised by all of the other mayoral candidates combined.
Many of his biggest contributors live outside Chicago. He received large checks from New York (the financiers Roger Altman, Ronald Perelman and Donald Trump each gave $50,000); Silicon Valley ($50,000 from Steve Jobs); and especially Southern California, where Emanuel’s brother, Ari, a powerful Hollywood agent, raised money on his behalf. David Geffen gave $100,000, Steven Spielberg $75,000.”
“Now, this reminds me of why I thought Donald Trump was a liberal Democrat in the first place. And I was blown away when he announced he was a Republican and he was maybe going to run for the Republican nomination,” Pat said.
