Trump is on the attack for now, but we do need to look at the skeletons in his closet that would be brought up in a general election campaign.

When businessmen open their mouths in politics, I think of Perot who was the vote splitter for Bill Clinton.

Right now I see Trump as a vote splitter in the GOP race.
The polling data puts him in second place behind Mitt Romney.

Is that the end result of a Trump candidacy that we want?

When polls showed Perot winning in 1992 he went kooky and pulled out, then re-entered the race once his numbers dropped down.

If Trump gets too close to a winner in the future will he burst his bubble to give Romney the nomination?

Is that the end result of a Trump candidacy that we want?

I think Trump’s life is pretty much an open book, we already know his warts.

You appear, incredibly, to have forgotten, or never knew, Perot was a third party candidate from start to finish.. Trump, if he runs, will run as a republican. The two are worlds apart.

There is no vote splitting with Trump in the race. He would be running as a Republican.

Perot split the vote because he ran as a third party candidate...
