I likee.
Only one problem. He isn’t running.
Nice post ! Well written article
Donald - by definition : “great chief; mighty”
Trump - by definition :
“Something, especially something held in reserve, that gives one a decisive advantage” as a trump card.
I will go on record right now and say that he won’t run. And if he does it will be as a third party, drawing needed votes away from the GOP nominee like Ross Perot. I’m tired of him sucking all the air out of the room.
And I happen to think Ben Stein IS colorful! Maybe that's why I kind of like Tim Pawlenty.
It is truly amazing that it takes someone like Trump to make an issue of the birth certificate. Anyone with half a brain knows that a COLB is not a BC, and yet nearly everyone in the mainstream media pretends there is no difference. They take the word of an unelected bureaucrat who claims to have seen the BC. Trump is right - it would be the biggest scam in American History. This issue has to be settled.
Problem is, I’m not sure if he runs in the primary if he even has standing. But some of the states should force the issue, imho, by requiring the BC to get on the ballot.
I agree with this article, Trumps numbers would rise if he declared. It is easy to discount the chances of someone who isn’t running. Not sure if he is the man I want as President, but I would have preferred Hillary! to Obama if I had the choice.
The more I hear the more I like. I love his take no prisoners approach. Would love to watch him debate Obama, he would eat Obama alive. He’s squishy on social issues, but for the sake of the country Im more than willing to set some of those doubts aside. I hope he does run.
Newt will not be the Nom because (sadly) due to his former Marital woes.
The Team is Palin/West.......HOWEVER Donald Trump is saying all the right things. And.....the Donald is now "Pro-Life". Huge.
It'll get interesting SOON.
His comment about Sarah P.- “polarizing”.
I take that very positively.
Dividing the sheep from the goats.
As satire, this is hilarious.
Elsewhere Trump is reported to be mulling the idea of running as an independent. This is where Trump’s achilles’ heel — his dauntless ego — might tragically override common sense. The only possible upside is if Trump makes Barack Obama look so much like a clown that Obama’s support falls below a third of the voters. It would be delicious to see the Democrats so deep-sixed in 2012 that they are a mere byword, a mere joke.
Musing... beyond a certain point, wealth brings drastically diminishing returns in a presidential campaign. Trump could certainly ensure that he dogs every single step of Barack Obama, and that everyone down to the park squirrels have heard about him a thousand times by Election Day, but if he’s not well liked it won’t make a difference, and if he is well liked he could save the dough.
Sarah Palin isn’t campaigning for President, yet. She is still only a political pundit. The MSM controls her image, which they want to look like an unbalanced fool. If she can speak past the news censors like Ronald Reagan did, with credible campaign promises, many who were her enemies for no good reason will cease to be so.
Donald Trump knows how to screw over the banks while the Democrats and Republicans only know how to get screwed by them.
A thought ocurred to me, as he droned pleasantly in the backgrount. Obama's media thugs will tear through Pawlenty like a grizzly bear mauling a hippie filmmaker.
It's not just Tim. The entire GOP field is weak as a girl scout troop. They won't be able to rally opposition to Obama. They won't be able to withstand the media assault.
What I'll say in Trump's defense is that he's an all-hype kryptonite to the all-hype Obama razzle-dazzle. Trump's celebrity popularity draws from the same well as Obama's. McCain laughed at the celebrity angle. Now his celebrity nitwit daughter writes for Daily Beast, and McCain is a forgotten old fool.
What we learned in the last 100 years of media warfare are muskets and horse cavalry in 2010. Obama figured this out, and amazed the greybeards by skating effortlessly to the White House. Trump is poised to follow his footsteps right straight in.
I think HI just passed new regs that individuals will be issued COLB only. Long forms will no longer be available. Thus Obama can tell states that require BC that HI will offer only COLB for everyone and since he already served one term he cannot be denied name on ballot. It means more court cases to resolve issue (what happens when two state laws conflict). Dems already made their counter move to state BC requirements. Some very powerful Obama backers are going all out to prevent release of BC. We live in very interesting times folks.
I concur. It is my fervent hope that she will air it out.
She will find widespread support when she does. Take it to the bank.
Palin has said Trump can ask the question all he wants about Obama’s past. Yeah she’s “polarizing” to the Media and the establishment of both parties.
