LOL!!!
The liberal element of the GOP fears Trump more than the conservative wing
That should be all we need to know.
Personally, I believe having Trump as Prez would be an embarrassing thing for our country. That being said, historically speaking, most leaders have been embarrassing jokes. True leaders like Hammurabi, David, Solomon, Nebuchadnezzar, Alexander, Charlemagne, Washington, Bismarck, Churchill et al have been followed by pathetic losers who have either inherited the role or blackmailed, bribed and murdered to gain position. Many leaders are in position because they are the amiable front-men for cartels and guilds who have paved the way for their position. Given that, I don't really care so much for who occupies the Oval office nearly as much as I care about the people who controls and surrounds him.
Who does Trump owe? From what pool of resources would he draw to staff the various appointed positions? More old guard GOP, or would Trump candidate his White House staff with a special season of The Apprentice?
Dittos for "rogue" candidates like Palin. Whose Rolodex would she go through to find Sec State, Sec Defense, Treasury and the other Departments?
It should be pretty obvious to everyone now that the reason why Barry is always on vacation or at the golf course is because he presides yet does not lead. His role is to be the name uttered with every curse rather than the likes of Cass Sunstein, Ken Salazar, Lisa Jackson or Anthony "Van" Jones. Likewise, Trump, Palin or whatever darling of the Tea Party arises, will likely be yet another name for the masses to pin all of their hopes, dreams or curses on while the real heavy lifting of policy is being conducted by behind the scenes few.
What does excite me about non-establishment types, is that their allegiance is more likely to the disenfranchised lumpenprols than to Wall Street, "Bilderbergers/Illuminati", international criminal-narco cartels and the Unions.
Trump said he wont do 3rd party since it means Barry 2nd term.
I like him...but his money given to democrats in the past is troubling.
Donald Trump is an arrogant douchebag who's allowed to be an arrogant douchebag because he's a self-made man with a proven track record of success --much of this success achieved after experiencing the hard, painful lessons of failure. These are actually good qualities for an American President to possess. I'm electing a national leader, not a drinking buddy.
I'm not yet sold on Trump though but I do believe it'll be a good thing for the campaign season if he throws his hat into the ring.
I am thankful for that! Let’s hope all the “I am going to vote my conscience” folks will see things that clearly!
Whoa! The Donald’s rockin’ a Mullet there.
We need someone who is 100% dedicated to the preservation of our society, a person with tried and true leadership skills, a person who knows how to take a penny & turn it into private sector capital and a person who is not afraid to speak truth to power against our nations radical muslim & communist-socialist enemies from within as well as from without.
Does Trump fit the qualifications? YES. What does it matter that he failed. Like my husband & I, at least he didn't cower. Like us, he dug in and fought to rebuild up his business. This is the stuff a true leader. Period.
I like the fact that Trump can go after Obama without appearing as a politician.
Because very few “celebrities” are conservative, you don’t get much common sense thought in the “popular” day to day media. Just a lot of idiot libs spouting their nonsense.
Trump isn’t anywhere near my top choice for POTUS but I salute him for lobbing some snarks at Baraq. Snarks that will show up on Entertainment Tonight, HuffPo, etc.
I’m hoping he assigns the task of finding Baraq’s birth certificate to the Apprentice contestants some week.
LOL. That would be hysterical.
Apprentice: “Hawaii Long Form BC”
OOPS - Posted that one already. (BLUSH)
I hope to heck he runs. Even if he doesn’t get the nomination or win the Presidency, he’ll force the self-serving, lying, two-faced, chickens*** politicians to come out in the light and come clean with the American people. That’s something rats hate; the light.
I will be voting for Trump. He will say what others won’t and don’t have the gonads to. He bashes China and “free trade”. What’s not to like?
