It just seems Palin was the darling, now everybody is running to Trump. You don’t see that?
Sorry. I am just bugged at a guy going after Obummer with both barrels red hot is getting heat here at FR. It is about time we take this loser on. Trump is doing it and is very successful so far. That earns my respect.
Did you see it? It was really disgusting.
I find it disturbing.
I’ll take a deep breath myself.
I didn’t see it, but it certainly does not surprise me.
Whoever ends up being the republican nominee will be ruthlessly trashed in such a manner. Especially someone who has any chance at all to win in 2012.
After President Ronald Reagan, the next GOP Presidents/final GOP Presidential candidates were “to the left” of Reagan, and we haven’t gotten out of this “ongoing negative funk” yet. NO MORE RINOS, please!
This is an old article from the 90’s. They just crossed out Jesse Ventura and inserted Donald Trump.
The one for Pamela Anderson was unbelievable.
Sure, Trump deserves credit for bringing the issue to the forefront, but before anyone starts to get tingles up their leg about Trump, research his background to see what he's all about.
I personally don't get hung up on a single issue, but try to balance my opinion on the whole package being offered by each “candidate”.
Trump is an egomaniac that has grasped upon this issue for his own personal ambitions, and in a few months I believe it will become crystal clear to the bulk of conservatives that he would be a better fit for the left than republicans.
Or Ross Perot, it’s hard to tell.
Palin endorsed Trump’s birther quest. That puts a very high lift to his efforts. A Palin-Trump ticket doesn’t seem far fetched today going by Trump’s expression for USA exceptionalism. When and if there is a get to gether of any sort the combination could be jelling. I believe Trump could work with a strong woman and Palin with a strong man. My hope, if such happens, is that Trump recognizes the wrongs of the people he has played footsy with in the past and forgoes any further dealings and instead caters to the world of Palin.

From my point of view which isn’t anywhere near the point of being a Trump supporter I will say that I believe;
a) We wouldn’t hear any McCain type BS about how his opponent would make a good President.
b) He would support our best international allies and be a nightmare to our enemies.
c) We could hear a refreshing no nonsense outspokenness regarding the stupidity of the entrenched bureaucracy in the fight he would face to get the nation in fiscal shape. He would tell people they could go pound sand.
d) I think he can twist some arms to get things done fiscally.
e) The real unknowns about Trump are what kind of judges would he would appoint and whether he can be counted on to effectively support social conservative issues. I don’t believe he really gives a damn when it comes to social issues important to conservatives.
But until he throws his hat in the ring all this speculation is pretty much moot.
When it comes to Palin I know we would get a-c and rock solid on e but I don’t know if she could deliver on d.
And same with her, until the hat is in the ring its all moot speculation.
The Donald isn’t going to be president, but he will spice things up a bit.
Thanks for posting that, it’s a keeper! So right-on, I couldn’t have said it better.
And to the people who say they “can’t stand the guy”, respect is what’s more important, not nicey-nice affability. If I hear one more pundit or politician on tv say, even if they disagree with BHO on virtually everything, how much they “like him personally” and what a “nice guy” he is, I’ll barf.
Trump does love this country, with good reason, and he’s just the alpha leader we need - he’s a worthy adversary who can defeat BHO.
Very true and what wannabe president spends millions or has millions to burn to find out about the fraud in the WH?They seem to let Donald burn through his cash and offer no assistance or help.Trump is a put up or shut up man.
Personally, I would rather not buy into a kind of false "conventional wisdom", and look a little further into what his core values are...which is what some our fellow voters should have done with the Obama "craze" a couple of years ago.
Trump has a way of saying some things that sound good, but isn't that what Obama's voters would tell you about Obama in 2008? Sure, we know that Trump is a businessman, but do we know much more? There are a lot of successful businessmen and women who would make a terrible POTUS.
I am an ego maniac as well. When I wake up in the morning, I do everything possible to put food on my table for my wife and daughter. Trump so far has does the same. Can you tell me the last time we had a POTUS that did that? When our economy is stabilized, we will all be happy. Your post is the same BS I read about in 1979. Time to get real and solve some issues. Working for a living is not a bad thing in my book.
while i agree with him on some issues, i cannot/will not vote for him unless he is the GOP nominee and running against Obama... and i don’t see this happening...
