TRUMP
Emphasizing that he “cherish[es] our seniors,” The Donald said in an interview that Republicans are on a risky “ledge” by backing a plan that could be perceived as hurting older Americans. “I’d have to study the plan,” Trump said in an interview on CNN. “I will tell you, I think it's very dangerous for the Republicans to go on this ledge, because I, for one, would have to be very, very careful.”
“I have a lot of respect for Paul Ryan, but what is happening is the Republicans are going way, way, way far out on the ledge,” he said. .

I am. He is right.
Trump is playing it smart.
Behold the turtle
whom goes nowhere
without streching
his neck.
Where does he stand on the issues...other than the Obama's BC and China?
He's a fraud.
Why?? Cause your master the Donald says so??
No the GOP is the fraud. Obama is an honest communist.
Paul Ryan’s proposal is good conservatism at work.
Trump is for big government. He even supported universal health care.
Work to get conservatives elected, NOT liberals.
NOT Donald Trump... NOT now ... NOT ever!
Yes, the GOP is a fraud. But, what is Trump’s plan to pay of the $14 trillion debt if he doesn’t have the balls to tackle entitlements?
Trump is a tool.. Ryans 6 trillion over 10 years is not enough.. NOT too much..
Trump is a progressive shill exactly the way John McLaim was/is..
Exactly!
He might be saying this to set up his reun as an indie.
I’m 73 and Trump can go straight to hell!!
He will get most senior voters that way and become the next president. The tax-oil-for-teachers candidates are in his rear view mirror (unlike the education presidents’ claims about visions of Heysoos).
Trump is pretty good at not paying his debts.
"As for Representative Ryan’s proposal, his roadmap, it’s good. It’s a great start. Unfortunately, it doesn’t really dig into the debt and get our arms around it or stop the deficit spending practice that we’ve become unfortunately accustomed to for still a long time down the road. But it’s a great start. He showed a lot of courage and you know, he’s spending some political capital in proposing it. I support it. I’m glad that he’s going to do it. I just wish we could be more aggressive and do this quicker because if not, we’re going to be beholden to other countries who will own us. They will own our debt. We will be less free. We will be less secure. At least Representative Ryan’s proposal gets us on the right track towards the solvency."
Trump thinks it's too far over the ledge, Palin knows it isn't far enough.
You guys are wrong and are being misled by the media. I saw the full interview with Trump. He said he thought the Republicans were being forced in a trap... that basically, they shouldn’t be the ones leading on this budget plan so Democrats can use it against them. He thinks it will hurt them in 2012 and they should force Obama to lead on the budget. He’s not saying he wouldn’t support entitlement reform, but with a full deck of cards, not just 1/2 of the House.
Trump led on the Birth Certificate and now Palin has been emboldened. I’m proud of both of them.
