Trump says he'd be a smarter president than his competitors
Yahoo News ^ | August 14, 2015 | KATHLEEN RONAYNE

"We will make great trade deals, we will save Social Security without cuts, we will come up with health care plans that will be phenomenal — phenomenal," Trump told a packed high school auditorium.

Trump's trip to the first primary state comes as he continues to hold a commanding lead in the Republican presidential primary, despite a spat with Fox News personality Megyn Kelly, staff shakeups and continued criticism over his comments about Mexican immigrants. Although he speaks without a script, Trump's talking points here echoed those he's made on the campaign trail for months, namely touting his skills as a negotiator.

The crowd ate it up.

Trump packs in every arena and the audience falls in love with this dude. Not bad for a non-professional politico!

And his casino in Atlantic City was just a small setback on his bad judgement?

He is smarter than his competitors...except for Cruz.
But IMO they are collaborators, not competitors :-)

I want Cruz, Trump and Carson to operate as a tag-team in this race :-)

Trump’s supposed to be a pretty smart money guy. Does he know that the unfunded liability for Social Security is something north of $70 trillion??

Trump inherited $40 million.
Ended up with $10 Billion
That is a 250 multiplier!
Very rarely anyone has accomplished such success.

One suspects that Mister Trump crafted his statesmanship and diplomatic techniques from watching the Arthur Fonzarelli character.

Just remember he's 1000x better than anything the Rats throw up in 2016.

If anyone has the smarts to understand federal spending and future liabilities, it would be a businessman who prospered in the very tough NY city construction market.

Trump: “I was against the Iraq War!”
Trump: “We should go in there and take their Oil!”

If you just speak the truth and simply say what you really believe in then you don't need a script/teleprompter, or a great memory ;-)

If you spout lies you better have a teleprompter to help you keep the lies straight, and a great memory so you don't lose track of all the lies and give away the deceit.

He IS what the rats have thrown up. He consulted with Bilbo before he decided to run.

Ahh The Fonz! Was he a popular one too? Looks to me like the GOP insiders, media pundits and many posters are shocked and flabbergasted at Trump’s poll numbers. Come to think he entered the arena only 2 months ago!

Or, for that matter, anything GOPe. Remember:

Boehner 2010: Give us the House, and we'll block Obama's agenda!

McConnell 2014: Well, shucks, we couldn't do jack squat these last years cause we only had the House. Now give us the Senate and we'll block Obama's agenda!

Screw the Establishment!

Well, I guess we can hope for a real erudite, smart guy from any ivy league school who was a Constitutional scholar and professor in college, did a short gig in state level politics and a short term as a US Senator to be President? Oh wait....

OMG you can not understand such simple things? Trump was one of the few against starting Iraq war. He is proven correct in spades. Trillions of dollars borrowed from China, hundreds of our brave soldiers killed, thousand disabled.

Now in 2015 we find ISIS with capture of most of northern Iraqi oil fields. That is 80% of their money resource. We take that away from them, ISIS becomes weak.
