I can’t believe how stupid people were to vote for Perot in 1992!

You keep telling yourself that. If GHWB had won, he'd have accomplished nothing. Kind of like his actual term! Republicans would not have recaptured Congress in 1994. We'd have never seen even one balanced budget and probably would've had a Democrat president on 9/11.

Here we are nearly 20 years later and Perot's core issues of debt, deficits and jobs are foremost in our minds.

If Republicans aren't stupid and nominate an ineffectual, incoherent, imbecilic bore, Trump running for anything will be irrelevant.

Well, It will be hard as 14% would put any black person up front. Donald Trump as president would be quite a shift in foreign and domestic policy. Would he keep his bearing after learning how the world works..............unlike the boy king.

I do consider Trump to be conservative. He has that combative temperament. The liberal media hates him and that tells me he is conservative

The liberal media hates him because he is attacking their Boy Wonder -- not because he's conservative.

Frankly, I find Trump's "conversion" to conservatism even less persuasive than Mitt Romney's -- and even later in the game.

Myself, I suspect that Trump will run as an independent -- for the express purpose of helping the Democrat get elected, be he Obama or be she Hillary.

Sorry to hear that you've taken leave of your senses...

Trump addressed this for that specific reason and said he will not do it. Ask Greta

Perot was a whore to whom Bush didn’t award a contract. So he split the vote, giving us Clinton who did give Perot the contract later. Does that make you happy?

“Here we are nearly 20 years later and Perot’s core issues of debt, deficits and jobs are foremost in our minds.”

He sure suckered you!

GHWB was the first to mention the NWO.

This is the deal and you can call me out later on my predictions.

#1 Job #1 is to get Obama out of the White House. I don’t care who can do it, he will be “conservative” enough for me
#2 Trump will not run as independent
#3 If Trump runs and get the Republican nomination the mass media will cast him as the evil conservative candidate. That while for you and me he is not so conservative....In the 2012 election this will be how he is described

Big frigging deal.

The idea was around when I was in college in the early 1970s. A lot of people talked up crap like that. Try reading the book, The Pentagon’s New Map, which discusses globalism and the United State’s role. It was written by a guy in the Pentagon to influence G.W.Bush.

I have heard this.

However, this thread is operating on a different premise -- rightly or wrongly. And my comment is in that vein.

In any event, do you trust Trump to stand by what he told Greta? I don't distrust him, but I'm not certain whether he's trustworthy or not.

If you have one talking borders and the other talking NWO, you can hardly call it nothing. I could care less about your links.

True. But so is every other potential Republican candidate.

However, Trump is not a conservative.

And, at bottom, I doubt he's even as Republican as most RINOs.

Well, take your pick. We had better come to agreement next fall because 4 more years of the Marxist is untenable.

Pro-abortion until a few months ago
Pro-Pelosi until a few months ago
Wanted Bush impeached for “lying” about Iraq
Top Democrat donor
Already ran laughable presidential “campaign” in 2000 (came in third place for the Reform Party nominatioin, losing to John “transendential meditation” Hagelin)
Advocated for massive tax INCREASE
Was FOR gun control until a few months ago
Said that he “probably” would run as an Independent
Reality TV star promoting celebrities, not competent people
Supported Hillary Clinton in 2008
Wants the rest of America to fear The Donald
Married three times, thinks “lifelong” vows are a joke, personal life a train wreak
Christian
Swears like a sailor
Ego, Ego, Ego
Never held any office
Loves Himself
Trump Entertainment Resorts filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
Donald Trump’s Scam School Got Sued
And, my favorite in-your-face,
Said Obama would be one of our greatest Presidents

I think Huckabee is your ideal candidate. (He can play)

Huckabee announced today that he’s not running, it’s all over FR. And what exactly does Huckabee candidacy have to do with the fact that Donald Trump is a walking joke?
