No
The article presumes that Trump’s candidacy is nothing but a stunt, from the very beginning...and he has no intention of ever disclosing his finances.
I think they are very, very wrong.
I’m not on the Trump bandwagon...but his second in the polls right now, and obviously a viable candidate. The media is in a constant state of denial.
Actually, he’s first in the polls.
I want to see Cruz, and Trump in the debates.
I don’t think Trump really needs the GOP’s debate stage.
If Trump is not on the stage, their ratings will be ~30% lower than if he’s on the stage.
Fox “News”, Soros, Romney, and Rove will find
a way to destroy America even further.
American MUST boycott the advertisers of FOX “News”,
NBC “News”. It work in the Revolutionary war, and
it WILL work now.
He said that he would file all the financial disclosure forms required by the Federal Election Commission so I don’t see how this is supposed to hypothetically seek Trump off the stage.
He has hit on many hot buttons with the general public - both republican and democrat - which explains his early lead in the polls. These are things the people want to hear.
They think he’s not serious.
Why doesn’t the GOP just issue a statement saying “The white bitch killed in San Fran had it coming” and be done with it?
I mean apparently rapes, murders and prisons filled with illegals are mirages, and it’s going to be open season on all of us soon enough.
Every school, every tv show, every “star” is spreading the word that white heterosexual Americans are public enemy number two. God is public enemy number one.
The heroes are illegal citizens of Mexico, and men that want to be women.
And Donald Trump is the problem?
“They think he’s not serious.”
They think no such thing. They are soiling themselves in fear. They know most Americans overall, and most Republicans especially, HATE illegal invasion of our country.
Given that he has SACRIFICED a lot of endorsements, TV deals, golf ventures, and an array of boycotts against him costing him millions $$$, I'm leaning towards thinking he's in it for REAL this time and is taking no prisoners.
Which Trump is the REAL Trump? Many pundits say Trump doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell. The same was said about Reagan "the actor" early in his candidacy.
The very first sentence in the article is a damned lie.
GOP *establishment* hopes to keep Trump out of the debates, and Slate knows that.
The author starts with a damned lie, so there is no point in reading further.
We will find out next week then because he also made it clear there would be request for an extension.
...Be NO request for an extension. lol
No, I mean “serious” about filing his financials and actually running. They assume this is all some big publicity stunt.
Fox wants ratings and a debates without Trump will be a disappointment. With Trump a ratings bonanza.
I see the Reagan analogy too. Trump is the most hated candidate since 1980, something that is also reminiscent of Reagan. And lots of democrats like what Trump is saying about immigration and the 2nd amendment.
I will say that my biggest problem with Trump is that he has donated heft sums of money to Democrats, in the not so far off past. Some will say he had to, to ‘get things done’...but frankly that’s exactly what’s wrong with Washington.
I also have no idea where he stands on social issues.
But a part of me likes Trump. He seems fed up with the spineless wonders we have as our leaders. If he keeps it up, GOP candidates are going to have to quit hiding from their shadows, and stand for something.
