The Donald is a businessman first and foremost, not a politician. He will spread it around to make sure he has whoever’s ear he needs. He has one goal and one goal only, to make money.
And quite frankly, while all of us here knew Obama would be a nightmare, I don’t think anyone in their wildest imagination could have predicted this. Anybody who is honest, be it Republican, Conservative, Libertarian, Independent or even some Democrats have to be absolutely horrified by what is happening now.
You answered your own question:
“Wouldn’t it be nice to have a President that would do what was good for it’s citizens?”
“The Donald does what is good for The Donald,”
Trump is all about trump, being all about trump.
If you want a nice big second helping of Barack Hussein Obama, you better keep focused on candidates that have minimal chance of beating him in 2012. Lets at least give the guy the opportunity to earn our support.
Great big DITTO’S. He is saying everything that network watching joe six-pack thinks and feels. He is hitting home for many of us.
I can look past the social issues to vote for someone who will protect our freedoms. We can debate the social issues in a free country- if we don’t have a free country, it doesn’t matter.
I will be investigating and watching Mr. Trump closely- he is not a politician, which means EVERYTHING.
There is zero daylight between us on this issue, I’ll tell you that
I want Trump around right through the primary debates, and a minimum... and I’ll say this: Trump will be leading the next few polls they take, I’d bet money on it
A proven winner, I sure he would bring John Bolton on board at the State Department... that’s what this country needs, then we and Israel can foment an overdue Iranian regime change
“If you want a nice big second helping of Barack Hussein Obama, you better keep focused on candidates that have minimal chance of beating him in 2012. Lets at least give the guy the opportunity to earn our support.”
I’m with you on this. All of these candidates are flawed in some way. Certainly Trump has his faults, but you need somebody strong like hi who is not afraid of the SRM (in fact in a lot of ways they are afraid of him) or anyone else, to take Obama out. None of the other candidates I see, at this point, are capable of doing this. In a perfect world I would love for Gov Palin to be elected, but I don’t know if she can overcome the demonization of the media to be elected. The media cannot do to Trump what they will do to her. If someone else like Trump does not surface I fear four more years of Steve Dunham and I don’t think this country would survive that. I am going to give Trump a chance and see where this goes.
That was to be “sure would be nice if he brought John Bolton on at State Dept”
Trump is about America and making it the best place on earth.
I disagree that it’s “all about Trump”. For example, how was this effort all about Trump?
Here’s a summary of the Wollman Rink effort detailed in his 1987 book “The Art of the Deal”:
After NYC spent $13 million dollars and 6 years trying to rebuild the ice rink, Trump looked at the mess and came in and offered to donate $3 million dollars to build the ice rink. He brought in experts from Toronto and did it the right way.
Results: Completed in 5 months. $750,000 under budget. He used the leftover money to renovate the adjacent skatehouse and restaurant. Earned $1.2 million in revenues the 1st season. He turned it into a profit center for the city (profits exceeded $500,000 the first year - all of it went to the Parks department and charity).
Maybe he did it for pride (that would be “all about Trump”), but he is America First and proud of it.
If he vowed to do this, he would have my vote.
We’re coming from the same place, Caped Crusdader
To be honest, yesterday was the first day in two years were I really started to think Sarah’s beyond repair this round, at least for the top of the ticket.
I adore her... but probably not this time, I’ll look how the polls go but have to keep an open mind after the way they’ve devastated this woman -who any normal human being would LOVE to have as a nieghbor. I think she can recover, but it will Trump would keep the topic on OBAMA... Palin would at min. too often find herself wasting precious time and resources on the defensive while losing control of the debate.
Trump would spend every minute making mincemeat out of Obama’s BS narrative and horrendous record... and with a big winner’s smile
Go get em, Mr Trump
That one had a big effect on my thinking too, MP
Well, we’ll never know after the Huckster had that big ole bonfire out back behind the AK Governor’s Mansion his last week in office, will we?
I think my main criterion for who will get my vote in the next presidential election is who Whoopi Goldberg rails against and spews her venom at. Knowing she hates a person is possibly the best endorsement a candidate could get.
Same goes for Joy(less) Behar and Michael Moore and David Gregory and Lawrence “i’m a proud socialist” O’Donnell and all the rest of those clowns. You all know the list in your heads.
You have a great Palin site Josh, but seriously- you know as well as I that a real estate developer needs to donate to all major politicians, and that NYC is run by Democrats
I adore Sarah, you know it... but I don’t think she can win this time, I’m sorry. I would love it if she could pull it off, the the high negatives will need to come down real, real fast
Trump is a class act, imo
Just as Reagan said... “If we don’t win the Cold War, we won’t need to worry about any social programs”
I love his truthful talk about global business. I have always winced with how we kowtow to the Chinese. Trump is refreshing and we may need him before we short term our country out of existence by letting other lands “own” us economically.
