PALM BEACH, Fla. – Will Donald Trump actually take the presidential plunge and run for the White House in 2012?
Radio giant Rush Limbaugh now believes the real-estate tycoon and television personality will.
"Up until Friday, I didn't think so. I thought there were other things behind this," Limbaugh said on his program today. "And I still don't know, still into wild-guess territory. But now if I had to put money behind the guess, I would say he's running. I really think he is. As of now I think in his mind, he's running. Now, with Trump, anything can happen between now and that day that he says he's going to announce. ... I think he's gonna do it."

Palin: The Grizzly Mama. The original Tea Partier. But unelectable.
West: Great man, no name recognition.
Bachmann: See Palin.
Cain: AWESOME. Too little name recognition.
DeMint: Not running (unfortunately)
Trump. Not a conservative, will lose base. Will then lose GOP primary and run as independent. Obama wins 4 more years.
Palin: Obama wins 4 more years.
West: Obama wins 4 more years.
Bachmann: Obama wins 4 more years.
Cain: Might be able to beat Obama, but can’t get nomination.
DeMint: Not applicable
Sounds like we’re screwed then.
As I told you in the freepmail you sent yesterday, if the Tea Party united conservatives and republicans around the best conservative, we will win.
Shame you have us losing already without your savior.
Reminder: we heard the SAME arguments you’re using with Trump three years ago- with Rudy.
Ps: Even Donald so to count Sarah out or underestimate her.
I don’t have a savior in this race.
Palin’s negatives are SO HIGH, I don’t think she can overcome them. Cain is an unknown, and I’m still hoping for some magical way for him to become a “known.”
The debates will answer many questions for all of the candidates.

It's crucial that we unite behind a strong candidate in the primaries. My theory: Trump seems to want to dissipate the field of good, truly conservative contenders. His main target, IMO, is Sarah Palin.
If Sarah Palin is able to capture the nomination, she will win the presidency. The Donald's job is to ensure that doesn't happen. Trump wants to "Trump" Palin.

It gave me a laugh!
Trump could be the next Ross Perot..and we all know how that worked out for us.
Clinton
Knowing Trump, he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, borrowed money from Soros to buy it, held a wedding reception there, then turned it into a casino, and declared bankruptcy.
All in one night.
I give up, apparently you are too thin-skinned to admit you read it dead wrong.
Yes he is. I've seen him up close.
So how bald is Trump?
Any online images of that ‘cause I see nothing. That is why I get pissed when people say he has a comb over.
I’m not sure, but there’s definite evidence when you look close. Could be a lot of receding, could be outright bald pate. I’ve seen enough of them to recognize hair prosthetics.
Don’t know him well enough to get a direct view of the top of his head. ;)
Could be a lot of receding, could be outright bald pate.>>>>>>>
Definately not bald pate. What he might have is a little... some thinning on top. His hair looks fine, not coarse. Plus I saw a 1988 video of Trump. His hair is plain brown. He is tinting it lighter
I hope he runs and that his pompadour doesn’t become a joke. The commie media will seize on anything to trash the conservatives. We saw what they did to Palin
I remember hearing the same thing about Duncan Hunter. He was conservative but was never a player and had no chance to become president. There are a number of decent conservatives who are in the same situation now.
Obama won not because he expressed a great liberal philosophy but because he appeared to be, the appearance being carefully crafted with money and free press from the MSM, the type of leader the voters were looking for. 2012 will be the same. Right now, a lot of voters are looking for someone they believe will be a leader with guts that will get things done. Trump appears to be such a leader.
If you want a more "conservative" candidate to challenge him, you better find someone who will challenge him on this appearance of leadership, not just conservative philosophy.
Jim Robinson: Well, I’ll make an observation. Trump is NO conservative. He’s a self-dealing charlatan and he’s got a lot of fall-for-anything chump types fooled.
Mark Levin is my friend and a friend of FR and a friend of Liberty. I’ll thank you not to trash him on this website.
Jim Robinson: Trump has had a lot of bad hair days. Just like Romney. Two bad hair guys who are more liberal than they are conservative and both run-of-the-mill liars and political whores. Either will say anything to get ahead. Just working the system the only way they know how. Charlatans.
I’m guessing you spent some time in your quest to piss on Jim.
