"People who think he's a joke and a fool need to be careful because by the end of the campaign, the joke may be on them." That's how Joe Scarborough summed up the surprisingly respectful analysis of Donald Trump's candidacy on today's Morning Joe.
Introducing the segment, Scarborough suggested that if Trump sticks to a Perot-like populist message, he could get 15% of the primary vote. When Joe turned to Steve Schmidt, this NewsBuster expected the former McCain campaign manager and establishment Republican to dump on Trump. But to the contrary, Schmidt agreed heartily with Joe and went on to make the case that Trump is channeling widespread popular resentment, is the man people would want to hear in a debate, and could be "very impactful" in the race. John Heilemann was similarly respectful of Trump's potential, saying he "doesn't play by the rules and is fearless," and receives serious, generally favorable local coverage in places like Iowa and New Hampshire.

If Trump is the nominee, and his opponent is the Hildebeast, he will WIPE THE FLOOR with her snagginess!
In fact Trump will beat ANY Dem hands down!
Trump just has a huge ego and wants to be President because of it, not to serve the people. Service is not in his DNA unless it is self serving.
Trump is pro-homosexual marriage and pro-abortion therefore I could never vote for him. I agree with the previous poster that Trump is trying to pave the way for Hillary.
I notice he would rather attack republicans than attack her. He is positioning himself to beat up the Republican nominee so Hillary will win. Look for him to run Third party like Rush suggested. He will do anything to get Hillary elected.
That’s my problem with him, we already had a candidate that was going to do all the good things Trump claims he wants to do.
Can you imaging Trump bringing a case before the Supreme Court? “You should vote in my favor because I’m really, really Rich!” Snort!
Nah, he’d just tell the Judge, “You’re Fired!”
I just want to win.
Agreed. Isn't he already on the speech circuit?
I just want to win.

Me too.
Which candidate do the independents like?
Mac was a prima dona. He was the greatest general in his own mind.
He got fired for insubordination.
He would have been the worst thing to happen to this country. He cared about Mac first.
re>Trump is pro-homosexual marriage and pro-abortion...
he said he is for tradition marriage and pro-life.
Are you a major media journalist?
>>he’s saying things millions are yelling at their TV every night.
I don’t yell at my TV. (That’s probably because we don’t have “TV” in our house)
But - he certainly did hit all the resonant notes.
