The article goes on to say:

... several new polls that place Trump near the top nationally and in New Hampshire are forcing people to take notice. Although those results could be a sign simply of name recognition, Trump is signaling, through the Laudner hire and other moves, that he intends to wage a serious campaign. He has hired 40 paid campaign staff members around the country, including eight in Iowa.

Good article.

Perot 2015?

I’m in - what’s the use of voting GOP anyway.

Wait a minute. The current wisdom with some on this site is that Trump will flirt with the race for about 15 more days and come out and endorse Hillary. He just wants some attention. And he is a clown. And he is dumb.

What did Trump say about the latest SCOTUS rulings?

[Logical me]

Cruz is my man. Problem is with Cruz as with all politicians they to damn slow to correct anything. But Trump, this man will make the changes the next day and curse out the Senate and House if they do not comply. Lets see what Trump does in the next few months. The rest of the GOP candidates are numb with talking points and too damn slow to save America.

Count me in too. I like him.

He is far from stupid. Hard nosed character. No lightweight. Quick witted.

And Great for what looks to be a one liner, twitter driven campaign.

Almost every aspect of him is an antidote to Hillary. New and different vs, er, Hillary. Charisma vs Pants Suit. Her mechanical, strained delivery and dirty political cash machine vs quick witted responses, and I am richer than God, put away your wallet. This is about issues.

Issues that she famously refuses to discuss. Along with you know, actually answering questions.

Trump does not lose his cool, Hillary is definitively uncool, especially when she gets screechy. He is not a pol, not the corrupted business as usual that Hillary represents.

Over the last couple of days he comfortably and casually handled aggressive attitudes at CNN and Univision. An important skill.

The general mediots fear him, and will be out to get him. They tried to take him out early with name calling. "Not serious, clown car, dumb, a joke, novelty act" etc. He weathered it easily.

Don't know about his, or anyone's chances. But it looks wide open.

He will shake things up. I want that. So for now, I am in. Later folks.

The story is indeed interesting.

Trump has recruited Chuck Laudner, architect of Santorum’s 2012 Iowa campaign. Laudner’s goal is to recruit voters who have not participated in past caucuses. This was somewhat the case with Santorum supporters too. They showed up long enough to cast a straw vote and then didn’t follow through so that Ron Paul supporters ended up in control of the Iowa delegation to the national convention.

Who will the new Trump supporters actually help this time?
