Uh, Konnikova? You were looking for a narcissist?
But there are no Republicans about whom you can accurately say all those things—unless you count Donald Trump. In a recent interview, Ari Fleischer, who was White House press secretary under George W. Bush, said it was clear that Trump was “no conservative.” The real issue is more basic: there’s not much evidence he’s even a Republican."
ooooooooo
Stand bye for incoming salvos...
Uh, Konnikova? You were looking for a narcissist?
... been wondering about Trump’s politics for quite awhile.
AND.... it seems to me he is one person who could beat Hillary in the D primary.... whereas he’ll be up against several pretty good campaigners in the R primary. He IS a smart person who should be able to see this ...
on those two counts, we’re mystified...
Trump is a buffoon, but it is the so-called “conservatives” that are actually considering this person as a viable candidate that are either fools or trolls. Donald Trump is NOT attempting to “fix” America. He is stroking his undeserved ego and messing with the GOP primary. Real conservatives like Ted Cruz are being hurt and ignored because of this idiot.
I much as I dislike the GOP establishment, I would vote for many (not all) in the general election if they get the nomination; I wouldn’t be happy about it. However, Donald Trump is such a despicable personage that I would NEVER vote for him in either a primary or GENERAL election. I will stay home like I should have for Romney.
Shrug.
Cause the fix is in for HELLary.. thats why...
Trump just wants to grab some “VISIBILITY” ...
VISIBILITY converts to $-CASH-$ and “other things”..
Trump is investing in MORE visibility..
The Trump Show... is a Kabuki skit..
Second reason: The Democrats have a system. Anyone can't just ride in an expect to take a place. On the Republican side it's much easier for any yutz to enter the race and go from there.
But if there is ever a Republican incumbent again, it's possible he could run as a Democrat. The left will love him when he, "stands up," and doesn't back down to the media, corporations, the party establishment.
Don’t forget, Donaldomaximus also donated to his possible opponet, Hillary Clintonista.
We know Trump is...well...Trump. So what? What matters to me is he’s currently hitting some key notes on issues we hold dear.
Immigration amnesty is strongly opposed by Republicans and even many Democrats, but the Uniparty absolutely refuses to stop illegal aliens from streaming across the border and overstaying visas. They can’t even point their fingers at President Obama on this one. He’s just trying to use executive orders to legitimize what the GOPe has been complicit in for years.
We are sick and tired of voting for the lesser of two evils, and have no doubt. Most of the GOP is full of evil and has done and would do—although to a lesser degree...maybe—what Democrats do. Again, we’re sick and tired of being disenfranchised. Trump, for the moment, is addressing OUR concerns, and I love it!
It is extremely unlikely that Donald Trump will ever be president, but stranger things have happened. We elected a person based solely on skin color...twice. And I gotta say, could Trump really do any worse than what we’ve already had? Would he really be worse than a President McCain, President Jeb Bush, or President Hillary?
Yeah, we almost went there once with McCain and I shudder to think what would have happened had he won! Compared to that, Trump doesn’t frighten me one bit.
Notice she didn’t analyze Kerry (he served in Vietnam,btw)...uh,Rush did about the best analysis possible today. Trump has better grasp of reality than Kerry.
Trump is neither a conservative nor a liberal. He’s neither Republican nor Democrat.
He’s a Trump-lican-ocrat-ney.
Which is to say, he’s a wealthier, bad-hair version of Mitt Romney. Buyer beware.
All the mindless nut-jobs on the Left, and she has to figure Trump out. Honestly, when does this never-ending onslaught from the left get seen for what it is?
This presentation causes me to come to two conclusions. This woman could use a good work-up herself, and a lot of FReepers should join her for a group-discount.
Guys like Trump and Rush Limbaugh have larger than life personalities. It’s their livelihood. They market themselves. It’s part of their business image.
This is not a sign of some mental disorder. It’s merely a sign of a person with extreme drive. And folks, in many instances it’s a sign of nothing more than being a very successful Capitalist.
This woman markets herself also. The only thing is, she hasn’t been as successful at it as Trump and Limbaugh.
Perhaps a 12 step program on envy is in order...
What does it matter what Donald Trump is as long as he speaks on the issues and presents a clear distinction between the liberal agenda and the conservative agenda.... I am sick of voting for parties and being told I have to go along to get along...Let the other Conservatives in this primary group start speaking out and loudly defending their Conservative beliefs as Ronald Reagan put it raise a banner of bold colors, no pale pastels...
I damn well HOPE he won’t be Jorge’s third term. The Bushes have been an unmitigated disaster. They created the environment for Obama’s triumph and helped provide the tools he is using to destroy us. They were and are flunkies of international crony capitalists. Jorge was the worst President on defending our borders until the current half-wit took over.
I wonder what her thoughts are about Obama not running as a
Communist or her thoughts on him saying marriage is between a man and a woman or If you like your plan you can keep your plan?
Think about it broad ‘red meat’ statements that he really didn't believe in or plan to act on. He gave the many what they wanted a dog and pony of hope and change while declaring just how brilliant he is. He is like Brobama taking popular positions that he had never had before and had done nothing to promote. I wonder if the Brobama's Roman Columns are available for The Donald's' coronation?
Maria hasn’t wrote anything authoritatively on BHO? So it isn’t so!? The left is really transparent if you know how to look with your eyes.
I love listening to the GOPe CRYING ABOUT TRUMP.....
It just validation how out of touch they are with he average voter.
Our country is in trouble. A milk toast Republican is not going to work. We are way past that point.
