Actually, that excitment will pull in a lot of voters.

Imagine Huck and Obama in a debate, compared to Trump and Obama. Snooze vs excitment.

If that happens they would almost make it Pay Per View, and that’s good for our side.

...and how many Republican candidates do we already have who won’t challenge it This time? Every one of them - even Michelle Bachmann - have totally backed away from having Obama prove his eligibility, even though the BC He released clearly states that his father is a British citizen. That certainly doesn’t match what I was taught about ‘natural born citizen’ when I went to school (obviously that was a while ago ;)

How can these people call themselves Conservative if they’re too afraid to challenge whether a sitting president is Constitutionally eligible? It’s absurd -but they cower from the media. Is THAT what we get with a Republican?

yes either way it will be very interesting. and he will hammer O relentlessly. Maybe Trump wont change dems minds but theres a lot of indies out there..Also the Messiah is gone. His “blank slate” is gone and the poor blacks never did get their new kitchens and obama bucks and hes already the first black pres so his turn out wont be nearly as large. and Trump will force him to spend money he didnt expect to. Yes we are in for very interesting times (and so far SNL sucks..waiting for Paul Simon!)

I understand How It Is - but I thought we “conservatives” had come to the realization that if we don’t Change things, we’re going to lose our country.

Call me a dreamer - but I’m working for the day when “how it is” becomes “how it Was”. It won’t happen in my lifetime, but I’m not willing to sign my kids over to serfdom without a fight.

"Excitement" tends to attract voters who would otherwise be disinterested.

Those voters tend to be Democrat.

For further detail, see 2008.

we shall see. Huckster has declared he is not running. God has been merciful

But this means the field is narrowing. I doubt Palin will run. Who do we have left who can raise the big bucks and whom you can stomach? Mitt? Newt? Trump can raise the big money and that’s why he is the last man Bammy Boy wants to run against

Love him or hate him, Trump can reel in these voters and beat Bammy by 15 points. I hope he runs Republican or not at all.

Oh, man! Talk about stupidity...I voted for Carter in 1976!

It wasn’t until 1980 that I started to do research on candidates running for the top two national offices prior to the primaries/cauci.

That is how in early 2008 I came to delving further into Obama’s background, as research information on him kept disappearing. Then my computer was hacked — three times!

That is a sure sign of a candidate with something HUGE they want to hide.

What you say may be true.

But doesn't it bother you just a little bit that Trump is anything but a conservative.

I’m calling “BS” on this.

From wikipedia:

“Roger J. Stone, Jr. is an American political consultant [1] and lobbyist who specializes in opposition research for the Republican National Committee in the United States.[2]

In other words - Karl Rove v2.0

The man who can beat Bammy has to be capable of doing two things. He has to be able to raise the money and inspire the voters. I want Bammy Boy out and Trump looks like he can do both. I do consider Trump to be conservative. He has that combative temperament. The liberal media hates him and that tells me he is conservative

Donald Trump is a Capitalist. He now sees what the socialist miscreants are all about. Everyone is not skilled in every area. Donald never learned about those threats until now.

Donald Trump is a Capitalist.>>>>>>>

Obama=lawyer
Joe Biden=lawyer
John Kerry = Lawyer
John Edwards= lawyer
Bill Clinton= lawyer

These parasites have ruined America
Trump is a builder capitalist. He has made payrolls, run businesses, had to deal with mafia type unions. In other words he is very well rounded

He was also on Greta saying he would never run as an Independent because he sees it would help Obama and he would never want to do that. He said he thought O would go down as the worst President in history, and he wouldn't do anything to derail the republican nominee.

Of Course... The problem with Donald is....He thought he could pay his way. He has now found this to be untrue.

I like the guy, but his virtue is very undecided.

Don’t digress too much because we have to oust Obama and whoever can do this is the candidate I support. Obama is so entrenched and so well funded that getting rid of him will be like staging a coup in a 3rd world country
