Rev. Franklin Graham, who took over his father Billy Graham's ministry, said he has looked at the field of potential candidates for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination and thinks Donald Trump might be the one.
"Donald Trump, when I first saw that he was getting in, I thought, 'Well, this has got to be a joke,'" Graham said on ABC's "This Week." "But the more you listen to him, the more you say to yourself, "You know, maybe the guy's right."

I care that Trump has the Democratic Party on the run.
I care that the Republican Party hierarchy is attacking Trump WHEN they should be going after Obama and the Democrats!
I am not a sucker and wouldn’t vote for Trump in the primary.
But folks, I’n not seeing a lot of fighting spirit coming from Republicans except those beating on Trump.
NEVER KILL THE MESSENGER - TRUMP IS THE MESSENGER TELLING US HOW TO GET OBAMA.
Trump is doing all of that.. and for this, for now, he is to be deeply appreciated until the butcher's bill comes due. But, one has to always be careful when something is too good to be true.
It is nice to see him fighting though and on this and most of the above you are absolutely right.
I sense the bomb bay doors are about to open on the Trump airship.
Thanks.
I think, like someone else on this thread mentioned, it is going to be an interesting ride this election cycle.
Yee-haww!
Some of us have life and a job and we don’t sit at the computer all day counting how many times an article is Posted.
Weak and lame. With an attitude like that, you are sure to get some flack from the mods as well. You aren't new around here, its hard to imagine how someone could not have a clue in the space of nearly 9 years.
Isn’t the Democratic Underground missing you about now?
Sorta like you're doing now with Trump?
Oh, and rest assured, as the creator of the Day in the Life threads, I guarantee that I will do not such thing if Trump even sniffs the White House.
But I leave the 'idolatry' to you since you have such a lovely head start.
Well, I’ll make an observation. Trump is NO conservative. He’s a self-dealing charlatan and he’s got a lot of fall-for-anything chump types fooled.

That is Jim Thompson’s take and he owns the site. I believe that Trump is doing a service no one else would take. Let it play out.
Again, no one is trashing Trump for the BC stuff. What we are challenging is that Trump is NOT a conservative, and folks shouldn’t be jumping on the RINO train. And this mad rush to suddenly declare Trump the candidate, that no one else can win BUT him, and that those who oppose Trump are Obama supporters is sheer nonsense.
no dems is a great poster and in good standing at FR, but thanks for your concern.
Don’t listen to that. He has fired up his own roller coaster and so far it’s been fun. We have a full year to get a candidate on board. Let him bother the hell out of the left for a while.
Which is cool with me, but you are saying the new standard is duplicate threads are no problem and who cares about checking. That's No Dems point which he came back to long after I dropped the suggestion. I had just seen this same article multiple times this weekend. He could have easily said, I checked.. but he said who cares.
And now, here is a mod chiming in saying.. this is the standard I guess.
But, lets review the record of No Dems in this thread.
He has said the following things about me with zero evidence much less any ground to stand on.
Lets go back in order:
Isn’t the Democratic Underground missing you about now?
Because I don't support Trump?? Or, what, support the rules of respecting folks around here by checking posts before I put them up?

This is a return to this issue that I had dropped but for some reason, it bothered him, but once again he coupled this with a personal insult. His point being that he shouldn't have to worry because he is busy, I guess. None of the rest of us are. Gees.
Did you not finish the 5th Grade or are you drunk or do you just need to lay down the crack pipe?
Because I called him out on supporting Trump for being a flag waving in the wind, when he excoriates Santorum for the same thing.
Well, it got you participating didn't it? If it is a re-post, so what? How many people will die from it?
Who wants to participate if folks are just going to gratuitously call you names, and argue that the rules don't apply to them. Hmmm?
I have no idea why a mod decided to step in to defend this behavior, much less praise it, but I know when someone doesn't have the facts on their side and the resort to personal attacks it isn't very appealing. I give as good as I get, but I check who I am dealing with and this guy has been around here long enough to know better and frankly posting about it being stupid to check for duplicates in the treads is a way to get a whole lot more of this behavior if the Mods signal they don't care. If this guy doesn't need to care, why should I?
Nothing to brag about...
I guarantee that I will do not such thing if Trump even sniffs the White House.
Oh, so it's all up to you huh? Aren't you the epitome of humility... Anyway, he can't do no worse than that RINO whore of government largess whom you idolize.
You get points for ass kissing post of the week.
You sound like a wussified hall monitor who just got his ass handed to him and you’re still whining.
WHAT ARE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES WAITING FOR?
Put out or get out.
If you can’t beat Trump, then join him.
Yep, perhaps. But, if I had my ass handed to me, I haven't noticed it yet. And, you certainly didn't do it. And, no dems calling me names doesn't phase me, but a Mod praising that crap made me irritated.
