Sounding increasingly like a candidate, Donald Trump repeatedly told a raucous tea party crowd today he has the qualities needed in the White House and the conservative ideals necessary to seal the Republican nomination should he decide to run.
Trump struck familiar themes and talked about his own business acumen in his speech to hundreds gathered at a park here, where his name festooned signs, buttons and T-shirts of supporters. The real estate mogul even talked about the type of people he'd have serve as diplomats and said he was looking forward to releasing his financial disclosures.
"Most very successful people, the kind of people that we need running our country, don't want to be scrutinized and abused," he said. "This is the kind of person that this country must have right now."
He derided President Barack Obama, calling him the worst to occupy the White House in history. He again questioned whether the president was born in the U.S., even though the fact has been affirmed by officials in Hawaii, where Obama was born. And he maligned China, saying the U.S. should take control of Iraqi oil and described American infrastructure as third world.
Trump ticked through a number of issues seen as bedrocks for conservative candidates, saying he is anti-abortion, against gun control and wants to repeal Obama's health care law. Throughout the speech, he portrayed the U.S. as a nation in decline and himself as its potential savior.

Wow, son, you need a map. GWB is from Texas. Oh, and YOUR BOY is a NE RINO too. Damn, you’re dumb.
It's not his 'business savvy' that we conservatives find lacking -- it's his commitment to conservatism.
Not you Cheetah...the other guy!
Thanks - this is getting very interesting.
See, there’s your mean spirit again. Ugly...ain’t it? Not you, Cheetah...just ‘rintense’...
I agree, and it is fun as hell to watch.
We still have a long way to go, I hope others in our party are watching and learning....maybe even grow a pair.
“Wow, son, you need a map. GWB is from Texas. Oh, and YOUR BOY is a NE RINO too. Damn, you’re dumb.”
Prove me wrong or apologize ,NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Please! Are you the conservative holder of all wit, wisdom and knowledge? Reading through your posts on this thread, I would think you are the master of all time space and dimension. In reality you're just some punk on FR without the balls to even display a state flag. Put down the wine and STFU.
“Not you Cheetah...the other guy!”
Got it thanks.
Yes, because you two ‘principled conservatives’ are so tough!!! BTW, your lame butts are getting schooled by a chick.
How much of that computer you're posting on was made in China?
“And are any here under the impression that politicians are more highly principled than moguls?”
I wasn’t addressing that concept. I was addressing the concept that Trump was doing this to help us, or that he cares about anyone other than himself.
“It’s not his ‘business savvy’ that we conservatives find lacking — it’s his commitment to conservatism.”
Right now I think he has the best chance to win,and coupled with West would be a home run!
George W. Bush was born in New Haven, Connecticut.
You clearly have defined yourself as NOT CONSERVATIVE by your attacks on Palin, and have steadfastly refused to say just which, if any, conservative potential candidates you would support.
Being a former law enforcement, government union person does not even hint of you being conservative. Being an "independent film producer" (is that code for "porn producer"?) does not hint at you being conservative.
Absent any self-definition, people are going to judge you by your posting history. That's more than fair.
“Question, Back why the animosity towards someone who is fighting our common mortal enemy? “
How is he fighting our “common mortal enemy”? Did he do that before or after he gave money to support that “common mortal enemy”?
“Yes, because you two ‘principled conservatives’ are so tough!!! BTW, your lame butts are getting schooled by a chick.”
Where is my apology???
And then in your infinite wisdom explain how electing a RINO will advance conservatism.
I think you’re doing an excellent job and I totally agree with you. I’m having a hard time believing that people around here are getting sucked in by The Donald. Conservative they are not but then the Donald isn’t either.
Thanks for posting that.
By reading your posts on this thread the only thing I could tell for sure is that you are not a lady.
