You must remember, these polls at this point in time, are junk.

If they were truly an accurate gauge of a future candidates electability, Obama wouldn't run for reelection and Mike Huckabee would be the next President, and neither of those instances are going to occur.

"He’s got an ego that’s even bigger than Obama’s if possible but there is nothing phony about the man and he understands business and capitalism. He may be the only one with the know-how and style who can turn the country’s financial mess around. "

Donald Trump is an avid supporter of American sovereignty, as well as an expert in financial affairs, and I believe that he is a flaming patriot. While I believe that Sarah Palin equals the Donald in patriotism and American sovereignty, I do think that Trump might just prove to be an at least equal challenger to Palin, and a winner against all others. I can support either of the afore-mentioned candidates, or especially both, in either order.

Obama now has foreign affairs/war/policy "cred" ( well, he and the MSM think so and it's sort of true )and Trump has none of it. He can talk about business dealing with China, what it takes to build something in Dubai, but that's about it.

What does "THE DONALD" do, should he enter the fray and during the primaries, his opponents haul out the vile stuff that was made public during his divorces? What does he do when he is trashed for his bankruptcies, lies, exaggerations, past support of lots and lots of Dems, including Rahm Emmanuel?

Lots of people HATE him; hate him more than they hate Sarah Palin, even.

And do you really believe that he's going to accept having to not be in charge of his empire ?

I kind of Obama's baggage is much more destructive if you look at his history of friends. And we know he will be the opposition.

Obama and Clinton have set a precedence on baggage. Ever heard about some of Obama's terrorist friends? And Bill Clinton won re-election despite all his baggage from before and during his first term.

Thanks to Obama and Clinton the doors have reopened for Oliver North, Newt Gingrich, Donald Trump, heck even Nixon could be electable after the precedence set by Obama and Clinton.

Not really.

ditto that. Furthermore, I see his birther ploy as just that, a ploy to pull a key demographic out from under the true conservatives in the race. He’s gaming us.

I totally agree that the polls are going to move around wildly as events change. That is why I am not dismissing Trump or Palin, nor am I cheerleading them. I have such a deep hatred of Obummer that any opportunity to throw him out in ‘12 is how I will vote. I think all of this will reveal itself after two things. We see who is actually running in the primary and the first couple debates. Debates always weed out the weak right away so the focus can be on the real deals.

I have one caveat on dismissing possible candidates. I have dismissed that POS Myth Romney. Romneycare should have him at home writing books this election, not running against Obamacare.

You make good points regarding Trump and foreign policy. But if we continue down the road economically we wont need to focus as much on foreign policy since we will not be able to afford to defend ourselves let alone wage war in places like Libya.

It would be nice to know all the candidates' stances on business and economics. It's a very important issue this time around.

Whole countrys can tank and the well-positioned can profit from it. Just ask George Soros. Trump is a Perot-in-waiting.

Sarah didn't give money to Rahm Emmanuel, nor other Dems; but Trump did!

She's always been a GOPer; Trump has only been a registered GOPer for a few years in the late '80s-'99 and then reregisterred as one in '09.

Trump is only angry at China, now, over some business dealings.

Then you don’t mind that Trump favors the killing of unborn children?

I think you misunderstood me. I didn’t say I supported Trump. I think others want to see him run simply for the entertainment value.

Whether or not Trump knows anything about foreign policy, he can sell the idea that he does.

Brackets’ is a community organizer who can’t even organize an Allied Coalition much less the Middle East “Community.”

That's utter bilge!

The MSM covered up and covered for Obama, to such a point, that very few ( the great unwashed, brain dead )knew about Ayers and Wright, etc. and they won't know about any of it in '12.

That has never been and certainly won't be the case for any of the GOPer hopefuls during the primary and election season of '12.

Given enough time, Trump could put himself into a Soros-like position. But it would probably take longer than a campaign cycle in which he had hopes. Should Palin come out on top, she would definitely reach out to Trump.

Where has Trump gone on record on either side of the abortion fight? Trump-branded abortion facilities appear to be rather scarce.

But if Trump is the only one standing in the end to go against our closeted Muslim President, we would also have to consider his religion and ask ourselves, who does Obama favor killing?

Go do a search on Donald Trump.

Obviously, you don't know much, if anything at all about him. He hasn't a chance to win and become the GOP nominee; however, he might, indeed, pull votes from others..........not that there's anyone worth a damn, outside of Sarah Palin, in the talked about group of possibilities.

I don't, for one second, believe that any GOPer can beat Obama; however, I do think that Palin can....though it will be a difficult slog.
