Newly minted Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump believes he has a way to guarantee that hell win the White House: Oprah Winfrey on the ticket.
"I think Oprah would be great. I'd love to have Oprah," Trump told ABC News George Stephanopoulos in an excerpt from Trump's first interview after his Tuesday morning presidential announcement.
"I think we'd win easily, actually.
We used to have Rosie the Riveter in this country; now we have Peg Bundy.
Was Rosie ODonnel unavailable?
That tells me a lot about your politics.
"[Donald Trump] has made highly publicized forays into national politics on occasion over the past two decades. Late in 1999, as the presidency of Bill Clinton wound down, Trump was one of several contenders for the nomination of the Reform Party, the remnant of the third-party movement begun by billionaire H. Ross Perot in 1992." Source
‘If he was joking he should have said so.’
He said as much a few minutes ago on FOX.
That, sir, is miserably and disgustingly obscene. On the part of both the ‘cartoonist’ who drew it, and you for posting it.
No need to be overtly graphic - time out for you all - - -
What an unfortunate and sad time in this country’s history.
What troubled me more about that interview was Wil going after him with a gusto he’s never used on anyone. He should stick to his baseball stats and stay there.
Whatever about Trump politics or abilities, he has one ability that is not deniable: he points out with crystal accuracy what is wrong with the US and our current batch of worthless politicians. I look forward to his keeping the fires glowing under most of them with his direct speaking and access to the media. I’d love to hear his commentary about Bohner and the TPP and how he is doing everything he can to get it passed while bayonetting any conservatives in his path. You want a real POS, look at the Speaker.
Trump is a loose cannon.
“Trump is a loose cannon.”
Even a loose cannon hits the mark once. I am not saying he would be a good president or even a good candidate, what I am saying is at least we know where his heart is. Almost 7 years in and most in the US have not yet figured out Obama is the enemy, Bohner, McConnell and Reid are nothing more than self serving politicians and Polousy is a party hack.
I don’t know where Trump’s heart is, and neither do you (imho).
Trump knows how to put on a show.
That’s it.
I am not worried about his being in it for the money. That is what I know. I know he will call out the shamsters. He did it and continues to do it today.
It was distressing to see Mark Levin fawn all over this madman. Trump couldn’t run a Casino and he thinks he can run a country. Welcome to bedlam folks.
So...he’s not so smart after all.
The truth hurts. Donald Trump’s utter appeasement disqualifies him from the presidency and even running for the presidency on the Republican side.
Where and when did I endorse Trump. Please show me.
I think its funny how he just rambles like a crazy guy. A rich, white, crazy guy. Remember how Perot screwed things up? Trump is not going to be around long enough to do that.
Its a year and a half before the election (give or take a little.) We have a long way to go. It is way too early to get worked up about any of these clowns.
I think getting worked up over President is stupid anyway. We should be getting worked up about getting rid of the leaders in Congress. THEY are the ones who don’t get that we are in trouble. THEY are the ones who spend the money. They are the ones who allow the IRS to happen, for Defense to get cut, and for the feral animals of Baltimore and Furgeson to get our tax money.
So, instead of insulting me, how about your focus your outrage where it belongs.
The fact that the people around here think Conservatives are going to have a say at the table without someone tipping the table over are just kidding themselves.
So, instead of insulting me, get angry. Get your walker out the front door and get mad as hell. But not at me.
Because when it really hits the fan this time, you and your ilk are going to be on the menu, not at the table.
Mrs Trumps lil boy Donny might be elected..... in FANTASYLAND.
Why not pick Ronald MacDonald as a running mate.
The Alliteration would be a chunk of Marketing Genius?
Donnie and Ronnie!-2o16
Who WOULDNT VOTE for that team ?
That was the shortest campaign in presidential history.
Put a fork in him.
Hes done.
Pretty much.
That is true also. Jindal screwed himself with that “response” speech a few years back. But purely based on actually acting on conservative principles, Jindal takes back seat to no one. He has not even declared yet. He does not have the name recognition of a John Ellis Bush or even Christy. I am willing to sit back and cut him some slack, to see if he can gain in polls, after he declares.
Personally, I admire the courage of Pam Geller. And what she did was justified in my own eyes.
However if you look at it from the perspective of a successful businessman, they are always looking for some gain or advantage in the real world. A businessman seldom does anything simply because it feels good.
Wow. That was fast. A bullet to the head would have been slower.
