More Horse-Sense from Trump

With Donald Trump topping the latest 

CNN/OpEdRe Poll, a few choice quotes...

_________________________________________________________________________________

"I hate what's happening to the country"

"The US border with Mexico is a joke... it should be militarized so that no illegal immigrants can come in. Moreover, doing so would stop the burgeoning US-Mexico trade in illegal drugs"

"(Pakistan) knows where Bin Laden is... cut off all aid until they hand him over"

"I am opposed to gay marriage... causes me trouble in New York, but I just don't feel right about it".

"Well, there is a Muslim problem... all you have to do is turn on your TV... Unfortunately, at this point in time, there is a Muslim problem in the world... you know it and I know it."

"I didn't notice Swedish people knocking down the World Trade Center." 

"That (GZM) was so insensitive- keep in mind, that's my territory -Manhattan real estate- and when they announced the Mosque in that location- I couldn't believe it."

"There's something out there... that brings a level of hostility that I've never seen in any religion.  You can say what you want about the Koran.... there's something there, there is tremendous hatred... and tremendous hatred of us. I look at Iraq... we spent all this money and all those lives- they hate us!  These people hate us, they can't get rid of us fast enough."

"(Obama) may have a birth certificate... but maybe there's something on there, maybe he's a Muslim..."

"I would tell China that you're either going to shape up, or I'm going to tax you at 25% (tariffs) for all the products you send into this country.... I'm all for free trade, but it's gotta be fair trade"

"What's protectionism? They're making $300B! I want some protection, if that's the case... The fact is that China has taken advantage of our leaders for long time, but they're having a field day with Obama... a total field day."

"This year they're going to make $300B on us alone- but guess what: that's either going to equalize, or 

WE DON'T NEED CHINA."

"Whether or not we should have been in Iraq, that's one question- but we're there. Iran will take over Iraq the day we leave... Iran is already talking to those people..."

"We will make a fortune... There are 15 trillion dollars worth of oil in Iraq...  we are not going to hand that oil to Iran."

"As soon as we leave Iraq, Iran is going to go and take over Iraq and take over those huge oil fields the oil -2nd largest to Saudi Arabia. That would never happen -believe me- if it were up to me."

"Nobody knows who the (Benghazi) rebels are... I hear they're tied to Iran, I hear they're tied to Al Qaida. I'd have to find out who the rebels are first, but I'll tell you what: I'm only interested in Libya if we take the oil. If we don't take the oil, I have no interest in Libya."

"Unlike our leaders, the Chinese leaders are intelligent... of course they're interested in the (Libyan) oil. We're not interested in the oil because we don't have the right leadership."  

"We're not respected, we're going down. China is taking things over -they're taking our jobs, they're taking our money. Then after they take our money, they're loaning it back to us and we pay interest. They're manipulating their currency, they make it very hard for our companies to compete" 

"This country has never been so low- we've never been at a low point like we are now."

Another item of note: Trump is showing confidence in the brave democrats of Georgia, investing in a new luxury development sure to provide Tbilisi a much-need economic and morale boost after the way the Russians have been slapping them around the last couple years.

At least one American is lending a hand while this unprincipled squirrel Obama licks Vladimir Putin's rear end and sells out yet another freedom-loving friend of the United States...

Yep, social issues are still important, but first and foremost needs to be a laser-like focus on saving our country from falling off a fiscal cliff. Trump seems dedicated to getting us on a sound financial footing as a country and doing whatever it takes to avoid having other nations treat us like suckers.

Perhaps one term of Trump steering us away from economic collapse followed by two terms of Palin and/or Bachmann getting us on a strong moral track could be just the revival this country needs.

But I’m making a pledge right now that I’ll vote for WHOMEVER our candidate is in the general election next year because we simply cannot survive 4 more years of Zero’s destruction.

I’m not at all thrilled about Huck or Mitt or Newt or Rudy, but if one of them is the choice against Zero, I’ll hold my nose and push the button for them, same as I did for McLame.

[fatima]

Who do YOU think can win?I really don’t think Trump will run for President.

[TigerClaws]

Good point about Pakistani aid. Good point about the Mexican border.

Trump keeps nailing it and not avoiding taking stands.

[CowboyJay]

"This year they're going to make $300B on us alone- but guess what: that's either going to equalize, or WE DON'T NEED CHINA."

China - You're the worst trading partner a country could possibly have and... YOU'RE FIRED!

Trump gets it. And he would rip the community organizer a new one on the debate circuit.

[jq2]

Speaking of “You’re Fired”, even Trump’s show TV show is based on his decision making abilities and common sense judgement. You don’t see other potential candidates display real-time decision making for all of America to see on a weekly basis. Trump puts it out there for everyone to see for themselves.

[pgkdan]

Basically, Trump will not be seen as presidential to many because he doesn’t say a bunch of nothing like most of our politicians do and have done for years. I don’t think he can win because of that, but I will enjoy him making the others squirm.

That was my first reaction when I heard people talking about a Trump run a year or so ago...and it was my opinion just a couple of months ago. But I've come around. In a big way! It is SOOOOOOOOOOO refreshing to hear someone in the public limelight speak his mind in an honest and open way. Not even Palin or Bachmann have been as forthright as Donald Trump has been and I for one will support him 100% if he does indeed run for the GOP nomination.

Interesting story...I took my sales force to dinner last week and one of my folks asked if anyone had been following Trump lately. Everyone had and all but 1 were very enthusiastic about him. One was still of the opinion that this is all a publicity stunt. I hope like hell he's wrong. But it was great to hear 7 people agree with what I've been thinking...and one of those guys was an obama voter!

[Reaganite Republican]

Trump is most equipped to win, imo

Name recognition... tons of money... killer organization.

I’m starting to think he’d crush Obama like a bug

[Reaganite Republican]

IF you asked me a week ago, I said “no Trump”

Then I watched about five recent Trump interviews on Sunday afternoon...

[varon]

He speaks and people listen.

Additionally, he speaks without a teleprompter. His beliefs aren't scripted!!!

[Iscool]

This guy’s going to attract many Republicans as well as Democrats...

[Crim]

“IF you asked me a week ago, I said “no Trump”

Then I watched about five recent Trump interviews on Sunday afternoon...”

Which proves you will be swayed when a RINO sings sweet nothings into your ear...

He’s the same Trump he was last week.

[Reaganite Republican]

Unless Sarah -who I love like a sister- can get those nasty negatives down that the MSM and Left have stuck her with... I’m not willing to run her this time, she’ll never beat Obama with 40%+ negative... sorry my friend

[Crim]

Save the friend crap....Not your friend when you are pushing a fatcat Libtard over Palin.

Not even close....

I swear...people go gaga over a libtard just because he says what he knows you want to hear...THIS WEEK.

I’ve been around long enough to remember the same thing being said about Reagan not being able to win...

Save it for the teenagers who dont have a clue...

Trump is all about trump...period.

[mo]

what’s good for Trump...will be good for Americans.

conversely...what’s good for ‘Bammy, is , has been, and always will be bad for Americans.

Its really that simple

[Crim]

You had to go back 23 years to find something about trump as a back up?

There’s your sign...

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Trump may not be a conservative but he is an unabashed capitalist. I believe he really loves this country too. I believe he will not run—but he has infused energy into the race. I could see his scowling face as president. I think he could lead this nation. Our enemies would fear him as they did Reagan—The MSM and Liberals would do their best to trash him but—make no mistake—he has a long memory and he seeks revenge. Attack him at your peril.

[Crim]

“what’s good for Trump...will be good for Americans.”

Oh boy...three bankruptcies and multiple failed marriages and affairs...

I can hardly wait....

[Grampa Dave]

Transcript from Rush Limbaugh:

RUSH: "Okay, gonna try to get Trump on one day this week. We should be able to do that. Actually, you know, I think Trump might actually be the real illegal alien here. I mean, you say what you will, but he is once again actually doing a job that most Americans wouldn't touch. He fits the bill in that regard."

END TRANSCRIPT

[Reaganite Republican]

I hope Palin can win... but obviously nowhere near as deeply as you are

Don’t get mad at me, I’ve always supported her... but like I said, with negs in the 40s she’s hopeless vs Obama

[Crim]

I’m not “mad at you”...I’m properly scoffing at the notion that trump is a conservative.
