The man considered by many to be the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination knows that he's a big draw -- and he says he could use that advantage to raise money for charity before the next debate. A whopping $10 million for charity, in fact.

Donald Trump is a household name. He does not have to up his brand recognition. Maybe, just maybe, he really believes he can help stop this Country from going down the crapper. Just a thought. But he’s going to do it his way and not the way the press and the Party wants him to and THAT is his appeal.
Ross Perot dropped out of the 1992 race and he's been a national laughingstock ever since then. People lost respect for him and he never gained it back. That run did nothing to boost Perot's "brand awareness." In fact, he's been absent from the public scene since. I had to search him in Google to see if he was still alive (he is).
Trump's not going to let that happen to him. His legacy is at stake here. If he carries this to the end and loses fair and square to another candidate, people can respect that. But if he drops out because he was just doing this for a lark (as you seem to suggest), then he will have destroyed his reputation - just like Perot.
Oh who is your RINO in the race? Or is it on the left side???? LMAO....
Who ever posted I supported Trump? Get a grip troll.
You know CNN will jacking up ad time in anticipation.
This is too rich. What a great idea.
You think big government socialism is going to save this country? You need to start learning more about Trump and not believing the media spin.
You don’t support any of the candidates so your opinion doesn’t matter.
What do you call post #16. Find one post where I support big government. You can’t. Because I’ve been one of the biggest opponents. If you aren’t a troll, then find my alleged support for big government.
Donald Trump is the wisest, humblest, most selfless man who ever lived.
He's like Ron Paul, Vladimir Putin, Pat Buchanan, and Ross Perot rolled into one!
Why do I have to support a candidate? If I did, you’d bash that. I don’t have to have an excuse to be a Patriot and stand up for the U.S.
He truly knows the Art of the Deal:-)
Awesome drummer.
You know full well that they don’t care one bit what Trump actually stands for.
He could, but he won't. If he demands to be paid then CNN will say no and the GOPe will heave a huge sigh of relief. And Trump won't be part of the debate.
So you admit that Trump is a RINO. All you are doing is helping Jeb.
Obviously you don’t understand Trump’s sense of Humor;-)
Well, they should have to acknowledge what they are supporting, right? The media and socialism.
Does anybody doubt that he will know how to play hardball with the likes of Iran and ISIS?
It’s not humor, it’s pathology.
