Well, the Republicans have no leader at the moment. Can’t say that I really care about Trump at this point, there are several want-a-be’s right now. The problem is that none are gong to be front runners at this time...

Unfortunately, there are no decent candidates to take on the Socialist Obama. The Republicans in office seem to think that just slowing down the socialist advances are enough.

We are at a crossroads - we either collapse fiscally or we get it together and pull ourselves out of this fiscal pit. Unfortunately, we have no Statesmen, no political leaders, and subsequently, little chance of changing the direction that the country is heading.

I suggest planning for the future with these things in mind.

After the RomneyCare debacle, he shouldn't even be in the running. We can't ignore MSM we have to lever MSM to our advantage, a la Trump. It's unfortunate for many Freepers, but Trump knows how to lever MSM to "his"(may be our) advantage.

Sarah Palin is someone I could vote for, onyx. A good traditionalist and a solid conservative.

Question is, will she run?

No More RudyMcRombees!.. and no Trump's either.

I have no absolute knowledge whether Trump will be a reliable conservative. From what I have seen, he is a reliable hardcore, to the mattresses, adversary to Obama. The question is do we want to win the WH or don’t we? If we do want to win the WH, do the candidates who are now lined up have what it takes to get effectively into Obama’s face day in and day out for the next 18 months? Obama has already counter punched Ryan’s budget proposal. If you saw the Hannity interview, you know that Trump did not agree with the House’s setup of the budget negotiations. That was his complaint with the Republican Budget Proposal. We gave Obama a target to whip us to death.

Next year RomneyCare/ObamaCare won’t even come under discussion. All that is Tea Party stuff the MSM and others want to avoid.

Yes you can argue with results. Al Capone got results. There’s more to a presidency than “toughness.” You need that, but it has to be combined with principles or it’s more dangerous, not less, than being wimpy. Trump is for Trump. He makes deals with known Russian mob figures. He helps fund Chicago Bad Guys, Inc. He repeatedly has used bankruptcy to escape bad debt, keep the cash, and leave shareholders holding the bag. His “toughness” is only “inspiring” because we all want to see Obama get his comeuppance, and Trump, master seller that he is, is using that need in us to sell us on himself. That’s all that’s happening here. It is stupefying to see how quickly so many so-called conservatives are dumping proven conservative leadership for this pitch man. He is false flag all the way.

I don't know what she plans to do, but I was heartened by her quote! She seems to be hinting at a run.

I refuse to vote for a scoundrel. Obama is stalling the obamacare court challenges from going to SCOTUS, because he's hoping one of our guys die, so that he can replace him [or them] with libtard(s), so just imagine the justices that a non-conservative would appoint!

You are 100% correct. There are no decent candidates able to take on MSM’s darling Obama and win.

Regarding your last sentence, I'm trying to figure out how to survive this country's collapse which will be hastened with an Obama reelection. Any suggestions? Feel free to freepmail me.

It will come up because of the three cases facing the Appellate Courts. It will also come up in this year's and next year's budget fights.

She is repeatedly hinting at her intent to run. She has to hold back due to FEC rules that kick in and limit donation amounts and sources once the magic threshold of “testing the waters” is crossed, so she has to be very careful what she says and how she says it. But the “wink” is there if you look for it. I’m betting she runs.

Baloney. Whoever wins the GOP nomination can win in a landslide. The indies are not for Obama, and the MSM will have no more effect on election results in 2012 than it did in 2010. We have the juice this time around. We just have to be fearless in using it to win.

I don’t know enough about him to seriously support him but just enjoy some brief relief knowing he is in Barry’s face. Trump is an like attack dog who isn’t threatened by the opponent’s dirty tactics. He enjoys the battle.
I guess I see it as giving Soros a run for his money.

Correct! She’s also still employed by FNC and I’m not sure whether TLC plans to re-run her series again before Labor Day.

Here is a link to Trump's book, "The America We Deserve". at Google Books.

On pages 31-32:

"I support a woman’s right to choose ..."

(Note: In 1999 Trump told the Associated Press: "he favors abortion rights... “I believe it is a personal decision that should be left to the women and their doctors”" Link)

On pages 206-208 & 218:

"... the goal should be clear: Our people are our greatest asset. We must take care of our own. We must have universal healthcare. Our objective [should be] to make reforms for the moment and, longer term, to find an equivalent of the single-payer plan..."

On page102:

"The Republicans walk the NRA line and refuse even limited restrictions. I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun".

yes people wear down and start believing the lies, especially when no one defends her in the conservative media after her initial glow wore off.
I hope wisdom is gleaned and applied by those who follow her, other than “don’t disturb the enemy if you want to survive”.
