Who has personal skin in the game? Trump has his entire family business name on the line here. He is putting the franchise at financial risk. I consider that a commendable risk by someone who loves the country. Frankly, while it would be a feather in his hat to become president he is putting his money where his mouth is, not someone else”s and he is not beholding to anyone. Maybe one of these days someone will actually take note of that.

Hardly. They all have personal skin in the game here... financially or otherwise. Putting yourself out there in the political process isn't a differentiator. And by the way... Trump brags about how little he's had to spend to get the support he's gotten. I commend him for it but it's hardly putting his family's financial future in jeopardy.

True... but he's hardly a political outsider when he is one of the ones the establishment has been beholden to.

Consider something... why would a guy like Bloomberg want to be major of NY? Power. He already has wealth and prestige... the political position is power. In my opinion, Donald Trump is much the same. He is saying what many of us want to hear but in the end it could just be a billionaire's game.

I think Trump just really wants to win. He said before, unless he wins this will have been a waste of time...and obviously, money. Go Trump! Sometimes more is less....he knows this, and I mean that he does not have to win every state, especially that strange, strange Iowa thing.

It's like the founders pledging their lives, their fortunes, and the sacred honor isn't it? It is obvious that spending all of your adolescence in military school will turn you into a patriot.
