Trump is no chump, that’s for sure.
Since his attention-grabbing presidential announcement last month, Donald Trump is surging in the polls, dominating media coverage and drawing huge crowds when he speaks.
Not only did he trump all 15 GOP presidential contenders this week in the latest Economist/YouGov poll, just yesterday his rally in Phoenix was in such demand, the location had to be moved from a hotel to a much larger convention center to accommodate the thousands of people who wanted to listen to the Donald speak. The outspoken GOP front-runner is unscripted, honest and sincere. And voters find that straight talk refreshing in our politically correct culture, where one bad word, joke or comment can get you fired, attacked or labeled a racist.
So yes, voters on both sides of the aisle are listening to what the Donald has to say — regardless if they agree with his views or not. Trump is exercising his constitutionally protected right to free speech and he isn’t letting fear of public backlash or fear of losing business partnerships muzzle him.
He’s showing a spine.
That’s something that will be needed in any commander in chief who goes up against Vladimir Putin, Iran, ISIS and other dangerous enemies who wish “Death to America.” Here’s an important consideration: If a presidential candidate is afraid to speak his mind — in his own country — will he also be afraid to stand up to foreign enemies?
What a contrast to Hillary Clinton, who spends most of her campaign either hobnobbing with one-percenters at expensive private fundraisers at millionaires’ homes or roping off media and refusing to answer their questions. At this point in Clinton’s campaign, the average voter doesn’t know what she actually stands for as she’s refused to take any real questions from voters — or media — that aren’t staged or pre-screened by handlers.
Whether you like Donald Trump or not, what’s impressive is that he’s displaying leadership right now by shaping the topics that will dominate the 2016 presidential race — immigration, jobs and national security. Trump is setting the political agenda, not his opponents on the GOP ticket, nor the Democratic machine.
In the 2016 election, we could end up having the ultimate capitalist, Donald Trump, going up against the ultimate socialist, Bernie Sanders.
Now that would be a debate worth watching.

Thank you for that vetting, ASA Vet
> First they said Trump would not run.
He has already filed the forms to run officially.
> Then they said Trump will drop out.
Many businesses cut ties with Trump to look PC.
Trump did not flinch, actually doubled down.
> Then they said Trump was a past donor to democrats.
Do those low information people know that all large
businesses donate to both parties? Do they know the
total donations by Trump to democrats are less than
0.01% of his net worth? I would posit he is stingy
with democrats.
> Then they said Trump was in this race to help Hillary,
by running on 3rd party. I saw his interview on TV.
This is what he said “Hillary is the worst SOS ever!”
“Hillary would make a terrible president”
“My best chance to defeat the democrats is running
on the republican ticket, 3rd party is a bad idea”.
> Then they said Trump will never file his financial statement.
Trump said yesterday he will file financial statement this week!
> Then they said Trump is not as rich as he says.
Trump said yesterday, people will see when he files
his financial statement, he is actually more rich!
What will the Trump haters say next?
He does not qualify based on his hair style?
He speaks the truth.....quite refreshing in this PC America we find ourselves currently in.
I can’t wait for him to tell Obama “you’re fired!” in his inimitable way. Thank you Donald Trump!
Trump’s dad, a successful man, his middle nam is Christ? Wow.
Trump could be to this race what Rush Limbaugh was to talk radio in 1988.
Already, I can remember where and who I was with when I saw him on BOR a few weeks ago.
This is what 15,000 people looks like.(2.1 million "liked" this)
Trump is not a conservative, he is more likely working for the GOPE in order to help Jeb.
Wow...the news reports said 5000...but who believes them?
I have to say that this election cycle is Trump's to lose at this point. The only way he doesn't win is if he drops out or self-destructs in some other way.
I don't think the media can touch him. He's been a controversial public figure for so long that there's no way the media can redefine him.
With the large following on social media Trump already has (and it's certain to explode), he can easily bypass the conventional media to get his message out.
He's got millions of dollars of his own money to burn and he won't even need a lot of it. Just a cellphone with a Twitter account and he'll make headlines whenever he wants. Trump is not afraid to use social media. All the other candidates are running a traditional 20th Century campaign.
The candidates better STEP UP their rhetoric... -OR-
Donald Trump will feed their lunch to his dog...
Not only THAT but Trump is a better actor than Ronaldus Maximus..

That is a key statement and one I’m sure for much of the hand wringing on the left side of the aisle.
Your trolling remains illogical.
Trump, and America, absolutely hate the GOPe
who belong in Hell for lying to their voters.
Of course Trump hates the GOP since he is a liberal Democrat
Trump the GOP, or dump the GOP.
“Trump is not a conservative, he is more likely working for the GOPE in order to help Jeb.”
Yeh trashing Jeb Bush night and day is really helping. I think Jeb would strongly disagree with you. LOL!

THE DONALD!
