“I really want unity,” said Trump, who is scheduled to address a GOP fundraiser in Buffalo Friday. “I want to go in there right from the beginning and I want to go in swinging right from the beginning. I don’t want to be knocking Rob or knocking anybody else to win a primary.” …

I’d rather see him than the bozo we have now

And Carl Paladino as his running mate

This has been here before.

There may be other folks who would like to run....but I see no one better.

He believes in NY, is an astute businessman and owes no one.

Plenty of men/women have run unopposed for different positions. A waste of time and money...

I believe he's a winner if he runs for governor.

He switches party every 5 years or so. Isn’t it time for him to be a Democrat?

Paladino is a personal friend of mine and is far from crazy- he is a brilliant and nice and generous man.

But how many have demanded a clear path to the nomination as a requirement for their running? He wants a primary but without an opponent, so why bother with a primary? The alternative would be a convention to nominate him, but he doesn't want a convention either. What's next? Eliminate the legislature so he doesn't have to deal with them voting down his agenda?
