He might run. No he won’t. He might run. No he won’t.
For nearly 30 years and during at least four election cycles, Donald Trump teased the American public that he might run for president of the United States.
To standing-room-only crowds in tiny New Hampshire restaurants to viewers of “Meet the Press,” he told anyone who would listen that he could win if he ever ran.
So no wonder in late May the New York Post ran a story under this headline: “Stop pretending — Donald Trump is not running for president.”
But after all that hemming and hawing — some might call it braying — the Donald Trump campaign train has finally left the station. Trump, who announced his candidacy on June 16, is now leading national polls of GOP voters. Here’s the stop-and-go path his campaign has traveled.

Trump detractors can blame it all on a guy named Mike Dunbar, a Republican activist in New Hampshire, the first to float the idea of a Trump presidential run.
Dunbar was unhappy with the Republicans’ White House hopefuls for the 1988 elections — including Vice President George Bush and Sen. Bob Dole — calling them “duds.”

Vet,
I’m still waiting for the next Reagan (see my tagline). At one time, I thought that the next Reagan was Sarah Palin...but that’s another story.
Anyway, the country needs someone to stop the bleeding, to hold the fort until the next Reagan comes along. I’m pretty much convinced now that the person best suited to stop the bleeding is Donald Trump. So thanks for the Trump posts, and please keep them coming.
