I don't see a "big shoe" dropping on Donald Trump. He's been in the limelight as well as "tabloid fodder" for decades. Practically everything it is possible to know about him - real or imagined - has been put out there.

In fact, the recent scrutiny on Trump's past by his political opponents is actually having a reverse effect. People are starting to see the real Donald Trump. Before Trump got into the race, most Americans thought of Trump as this outrageous, larger-than-life clown caricature. As they look past the tabloid headlines of the past and give him a harder look, they see a more serious, hard-nosed businessman who treats his employees very well and is very dedicated to his family and American values.

Look at the desperation of Trump's political opponents today, now that they realize they are about out of bullets and Trump is still standing tall, way ahead in the polls and still the established front-runner. Now they are digging up things from the early 1980s (such as Trump's failed bid to purchase and move the Cleveland Indians ball team).

Earlier this year, I thought Trump would be vulnerable on some of his business dealings, like those eminent domain battles and the failed properties in Atlantic City. However, Trump has done a masterful job by sucking the air out of these potential negative stories by saying he "loves eminent domain" and that he was a genius for getting out of Atlantic City when he did. Some of us may disagree with his attempts use the courts to rule in his favor on eminent domain, but fact is Trump has successfully spun those situations into a positive light for himself. It's just Trump being a good businessman and trying to create jobs and wealth for others.

The only possible "personal" scandal with Trump is the fact he was married three times but that's already an established fact among just about everybody and the fact that his two ex wives seem to be on good terms with him and even supports his presidential aspirations defuses even that potential source of controversy. Otherwise, Trump is squeaky clean with his personal habits, doesn't even drink coffee or tea, I understand.

Thanks for the first hand account. I hear that Trump is doing an event in Tyngsboro, MA later this month, which is adjacent to the town I used to live in until about a year ago. I might take a drive up there to check it out first hand.

As for Trump's security, I believe he has the best that money can buy. If your security is doing a really good job, you should hardly notice them. Obviously Trump surrounds himself with 2-3 "body men" at all times but I'm sure there are others involved that are less conspicuous, who are vetting every person that walks into these events and also combing through the entire venue ahead of time. I don't think much is being left to chance here.

Will be interesting to see when Trump officially gets Secret Service protection - wonder if he will combine them with what he already has in place.

People are permitting themselves to hope that perhaps the country just might not be lost after all.

I think that's it, in a nutshell.

I’m all for enthusiasm, Lord knows we need it, and if Trumps our nominee then he’s got my vote. But we’re still in the vetting process and I’d hate to wait till we got to the big game before some big shoe drops because we got to starry eyed to see it coming. Just saying.

Your "concern" is well noted, but lacking in any firm evidence.

No....I already knew what Obama would be like from day one. I am much more pissed at the MAJORITY Senate and MAJORITY House republicans for NOT stopping Obama.

It is now abundantly clear, that all career politicians are controlled by their rich donors, which is why they keep pushing for the cheap labor express in form of more H1-B visa foreign workers, No deportation of illegals, and voting for ObamaTrade.

Notice how the secret service , Trumps security and he always wear dark jackets. The new material is very thin and lightweight.

Good Post, sir~ The average citizen you describe -is a duplicate of the one sending you this message. Why this man was the first question, after prayer and quiet understanding. God gave has heard our prayers and found the best for the undertaking. King David, was at one time so bestowed.

You Too? LOL we’re in info overload w/ so much and the circuits tend to short themselves. At times, it is found to be a lurker (or vacation) helps. LOL At those times found talking to myself, the TV, or walls to be therapeutic and when angry words are spoken there is little madness thrown back in my face. It’s difficult to constantly bite your tongue. Do you still have yours? :) LOL Sticking mine out just to show you it is still attached Happy Days are Near Again!

Not been posting on this site for very long so still attempting to learn to navigate and come to understanding of terms and definitions. You used the word 'contact' Question: the 'ping' list? Your name added to my ping list and I, too, hope you don't mind. Yikes! talk about info overload and working with half a brain. Attempting to learn new things here, how to watch tee vee in a new format and all the changes our nation is undergoing is not an easy task Onward and upward! Look in the sky!I's a plane, a flying bullet...a flying When pigs fly, that can only be a good thing Right? :) Make it a great weekend. Beautiful down here in Texas today.

You could be right, but then this is what HOPE looks like after, as you said, two endless terms of Obama.
