If Donald Trump being in the race is what it will take for there to be a serious discussion about the mess the US economy is in, I’m all for it.
He should seriously support Ted Cruz and stay out of politics.

Exactly! He and Ted need to have a “sit down”; SOON!
Whatever the truth about him is, the perception with about half the country (liberal or conservative) is that Trump is an attention-grabbing buffoon.
The Republicans could do better than running a caricature for President. With Trump, the liberal media would have half their work done for them in their usual character assassination campaign.
Realistically folks........ Love him or loathe him; how much of a chance do you think he’d have
#1. Getting the GOP nod and
#2. If he does, winning the General Election?
Trump was an avid supporter for Obama in 2008.
As a man who hires hundreds of people based on their qualifications, he was unable to see that Barack Obama had none. Trump supported the election of Obama on the basis of promises and skin color.
Trump lacks the judgement for the job. No way.
Also he thought it would be a good idea to have a faggot as a judge for the Miss America contest.
Oh God, please no. Then again, it would make for some funny moments.
I really really dislike him.
He’d be better then half the other candidates the GOP is putting up.
” Trump may be right some of the time, but on the whole he has always been very delusional when it comes to his own abilities. “
Trump is probably the best commercial real estate developer around ......total Class A properties.
Also, the best promoter since P.T. Barnum.
However, he is apparently clueless about anything else. Hey Trump, go home!
I don't think Donald Trump has love for anything other than Donald Trump. Right now, he can get his name out there (and, as others have mentioned, get people talking about Donald Trump) by saying things that are critical of Obama and at least nominally patriotic. But make no mistake - if he thought he could get a bigger response (and more support/adulation/etc.) from supporting Obama and/or criticizing America, he'd be on the bandwagon in a minute.
He must wake up every day and wonder what he can pi$$ away money on.
Before he makes up his mind to run for POTUS, I would like to see what he could do as Mayor of New York; Governor of New York, a New York Senator, and then and only then if he does good would I vote for him as Pres.
I think with his business knowledge, he could pull us out of the trillions of dollars Zero has put is in, but there are other things he needs to prove first.
Hed be better then half the other candidates the GOP is putting up.
And his wife would be the HOTTEST First Lady ever. That should count for something.
Trump cannot possibly be the one we need based on his past performance.
I thought he said he would only enter the race if he could skip the primaries and go to the head of the line at the Convention.
And he was smart enough to personally remove himself from Atlantic City when it was clear that it was dead in the water.
The idea that success in business will make someone a successful president is totally without merit, it was most recently proffered by Ross Perot because he had nothing else to offer. Herbert Hoover was by far the most successful businessman to ever be president, and though he wasn't as bad as the left makes him out to be, he was a pretty lousy president. Jimmy Carter was a very successful businessman (the whole small peanut farmer from Plains was an act, he had a very prosperous operation) and he was horrible as a president. Harry Truman was a lousy businessman, but a pretty good president as far as Democrats go (he was arguably to the right of every Republican that came after him except Reagan).
A lot of people like to quote Calvin Coolidge and say, "the business of America is business." However, this isn't what he said, his actual words were, "The chief business of the American people is business." Running a nation like a business will work some of the time, but it won't work when it really matters, not for a nation the size of ours. Russia is a business, it is a very large oil conglomerate owned and operated by Putin and a few dozen of his cronies, and it is run like a business; for about fifteen years, the Russian business was great, but the past year has demonstrated the flaw in running a nation as a business -- it only works when the outside world complies with your business model.
