Think Donald Trump wouldnt do well in office? Think again. Yes, he has a tendency to speak without thinking and hes embarrassed himself on more than a couple of occasions. Plus, we all thought this was just a publicity stunt. However, what we may not realize is that Trump may bring some needed change to the country.
13. Trump gets it. He believes in American exceptionalism, hes committed to education, an he demands high performance. After all, he has been know to fire anyone that doesnt meet his high standards. Talk about efficiency.
12. Trump is planning to build a great, great wall (yestwo greats) on our southern border between the U.S. and Mexico. The best part? Hes planning to have Mexico pay for that wall, and mark his words, I will immediately terminate President Obamas illegal executive order on immigration.
Plus, with less authentic delicious Mexican food here in the U.S., obesity rates will probably drop.
11. No one will be tougher on ISIS than Donald Trump. Mostly because Islamic terrorism is eating up large portions of the Middle East and theyve become rich. They even built a hotel making themselves a direct competitor of Trump Hotel.
10. Trump has a confidence and a self-assured, powerful personality that is perfectly suited for politics. Unlike other politicians who tend to be swayed by lobbyists and special interests, Trump is his own special interest and is unlikely to give that power away to anyone but Trump.
9. Trump is extremely rich, obviously, and his track record for financial success proves that he knows how to build a successful empire. With the U.S. trillions of dollars in debt, this is the sort of leader that might be able to turn it all around.
8. Trumps loyalty will only be to America and Americansnot any political party, special interest group or foreign entity. Like his slogan reads, Make America great again!
7. He has emphasized beliefs in free enterprise and a strong military. He repeatedly highlights his acumen for success, his ability to get things done, and understanding of finances
6. Trump is undeniably a great negotiator, and despite his outrageous public statements in the recent past, he knows how to navigate complex deals and convince a wide variety of industries, businesses, and investors to do what he wants and to work with him to achieve his goals.
5. He loves all raceswell, maybe not Mexicans as he referenced them as criminals, drug dealers, rapists but we digress; As a president who respects most races, he will hopefully alleviate the recent tensions between police officials and the African American community.
4. Trump isnt politically correct. He isnt afraid to say what he thinks, and he can certainly voice an opinion. If he has an issue with you, he will say it to your face. Itd be nice to have a politician in office with that level of transparency.
3. Trump said it himselfhe will single-handedly stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. We arent entirely sure how, but hes Trump; Anything is possible.
2. With more time and focus in the White House, there would be less time to star in his own show, The Apprentice, hopefully bringing the ongoing series to a halt. It was good for a season or two, but now its just obnoxious.
1. Because he said so.
I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created, I tell you that. Ill bring back our jobs from China, from Japan, from Mexico and from so many places. Ill bring back our money.
Sadly, the American dream is dead. But if I get elected president, I will bring it back bigger and better and stronger than ever before, and we will make America great again.

So were Romney and Bush .... but they all cave, whether it is special interests or what, I don’t know. Romney caved and caved here in MA every time - it’s like he was afraid to be called a racist or an elitist or whatever - so he always caved to the Dems.
If the only thing Trump does is to build that wall then it will all be worth it.
After Obama, what do we have to lose ?
IN BEFORE NICK!!!!
Not an initial Trump guy but I think he may have the makings to be a great pres. Hoping anyway. Trumps worst enemy may be himself...but he is getting coached well it seems. Time will tell....by Nov it may be a done deal.
And all the time we have a whole bench full of decent, intelligent, principled conservatives, each getting only a few percent in the polls. (spelling corrected)
Who would that be, other than Cruz?
The rest of the pack want to abandon the rule of law and accomodate the fraudulently documented foreigners by changing the laws. Not very intelligent, principled or conservative.
Put down the crack pipe.
Obama hates this country. Obama has never built anything. His goal is America's destruction.
Trump loves America and builds stuff:
I'd argue that his success has fueled his ego. So what?
Losers whine and complain. Trump doesn't like failure.
His family seems well grounded as well:
Oh, you mean the BACK benchers. Yep, we have a bench full of them alright. RINOs everyone of them, except for Cruz, who I have a few issues with as well. Principled? Yeah, as long as they dance at the appropriate time when their strings are pulled.
Yeah, doc is a lib and has no energy. ;-))
And those that could have done something, what have they done. The rest of the decent are soft and would not accomplish much in two terms. Trump is not perfect but those policies are desperately needed and NOW. Not years from now. Better have someone for America than the likes of King Obama is for communism, he is black as hell, and loves his Muslim teachings.
I watched Trump’s press conference in San Francisco after Kate was killed. Trump gave 80% of the 50 minute long news conference to ordinary people who had lost loved ones to illegal immigrants. He, a billionaire who’s time is worth lots of money, stood attentively and respectfully by.
That is not something a narcissist would do.
I was impressed.
Quit repeating this LIE!
He specifically referred to ILLEGAL MEXICAN INVADERS as "criminal, drug dealers, rapist..."
This leftist lie needs to die!
And all the time we have a whole bench full of decent, intelligent, principled conservatives, each getting only a few percent in the poles.
Seriously....besides Cruz, who else on the list is conservative? Perhaps they’re polling where they are because the voters just don’t trust them, or like what they hear/see?
What you posted is right on, imo. But I wish there would be a place for Steve Forbes in a Trump administration.
I’d like to see that. Although I have no knowledge of what, if any, relationship he and DT have.
“Ann Coulter should be press secretary. That would be fun.”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I cannot think of a better choice.
C-SPAN ratings would go through the roof. It would put the Comedy Channel out of business, and I mean that in every good way.

Forbes would be perfect as IRS (de-)Commissioner.
It's not even a coherent lie. "Mexican" is a nationality, not a race.
We don't know, now that Iran has all that money and the nukes-thanks from YOUR pResident in chief- so enjoy the happiness of living, loving, being apart of the beauty that surrounds us all...
This is America, regal mountains; beautiful lakes and streams; beautiful parks and hiking trails, fresh clean air, looking up to the sky in all it's glorious blue; what more could you ask for...
And you, dear person, so sad and down toughen, so hateful...come join us for beauty and victories because that is what is going to happen after 2016 elections!!!
There are a number of scary things about Mr. Trump... not the least of which are what appear to be possible narcissistic tendencies. Having said that... he seems committed to securing our borders and making it difficult for people here illegally to stay. In this dangerous world this is the most important priority for our country's survival.
As much as I personally prefer a couple of the other candidates... they also do not seem to have the charisma that will get them elected. I think that Hillary is toast which will probably mean that crazy Uncle Joe will be the Democrat to beat. Despite his gaffe a minute reputation, after watching him on television lately I have come to the realization that he actually will be a formidable foe. I think Trump is the one who is probably best equipped to take him on. They will be fighting over swing voters who seem to respond well to Trump. The dirty little secret is that Despite Trump's hard line on illegal immigration he actually has more Hispanic support than Romney did.
