“Trump is basically a huckster NY liberal with no qualifications for political office.”
I am no big fan of Trump, but he is growing on me because he has the cajones to call out Nobama. What are the “qualifications for political office” that he doesn’t have and who, is electable, that does have them? First and foremost I am open to anyone, most preferably a conservative, that can get Obama the hell out of office. I fear this country will not survive another 2 years of him, much less another 4 years. I will worry about the social issues and other positions later, but you need to have someone tough who can beat Obama. All the candidates out there are flawed, and Trump certainly is as well, I am anxious to hear more about what he has to say. Maybe it’s time to have a successful businessman run this country and not a career politician.
I’m not gonna argue anymore with anyone at FR about Trump. I’m confident he’ll make the best arguments AGAINST himself as time passes. (And, if Trump was in anyway an honest/worthy man he’d just challenge Obama in the primaries—so that he could remain pro-choice, pro-debt, pro-illegals and all the rest of it.)
As for who can run, win, and govern, that person is Sarah Palin. I’m sure a few others could do a great job, Bachmann, DeMint, and down the road Rand Paul or Rubio or Col. West as they gain experience. The conservative bench is getting deeper all the time.
