Based on his past statements, I am convinced that Donald Trump is a publicity whore, a Trojan horse or both. The enemedia has tried so hard to sell Mitt or Huck as our candidate. Neither is getting much traction. So now, they are promoting Donald Trump.

Trump is neither as good a businessman as Mitt Romney nor as good as Huck on social issues. IOW, he's the worst of both worlds but talks a good game. Beware.

Funny, I remeember people (even in our own party) once saying that Ronald Reagan is 'not presidential, he's an actor, and not a very good one at that'. But look how that turned out.

Not comaparing RR to DT but just find it interesting.

Trump could buy and sell Romney 10 times before you can blink. He is worth much much more

I’m kinda worried that you’re right - and that a lot of conservatives are letting themselves be led around by a ring in their noses.

We need to stop letting ourselves be wowwed by media-generated hype, and instead stick with the Olde Wayes.

I’d be happy for some combination of the following: DeMint, Bachmann, Palin, Cain, West, Walker, Barbour, Pawlenty, McDonnell, Otter, or some others who I’m not thinking of right now. None of them are perfect, each has one or two things that some one-trick pony FReeper could naysay, but overall, they’re a pretty strong bench, though some of them need a little more time in the minors.

Huckabee (or Hucklebee, as my wife calls him), Romney, and other retreads? No thanks.

Huntsman is right out.
