He'll fold twice as fast as Mutt, and flop twice as hard as Juan!!!

He is a known friend of the Clinton Crime family!

Bingo - they have sold their souls and our country down the river and have been doing it for years only to enrich themselves with wealth and power. If I were Queen, I’d put them all in prison. The least we can do is unseat their sorry @sses from our government or make them comply to the peoples will. NO MORE LIP SERVICE!

“I made myself listen to his announcement “

Me too. He’s flawed, but he gave a great announcement. I loved it. I’ve been very disappointed with all the top candidates. There’s a lot of reasons he would be better than the professional politicians.

If the rest of the field continues down the path they’re going, I’d vote for him in a flash.

Exactly, Trump is not establishment, he is not Ivy League, he is not a dc lawyer, he is not a Chicago mobster, and he is not a politician. He is clearly an astute business man that knows how to make things happen without sucking on the taxpayers. He is not my first candidate, but I will not belittle anyone willing to set foot in the ring. If Trump shows strong in the polls, the old media and the establishment will have him eviscerated. They hate outsiders. They did the same to Palin.

Seems to me that would be a good reason to support him.

'It is way past time to build a massive wall to secure our southern border - and nobody can build a bigger and better wall than Donald Trump,' said Trump.

I know he says he beats China all of the time, but I think they have it all over us, including the Donald, on walls.

I hear you and realize that this man who trumpets his own horn repeatedly is seen as a joke to some. I made myself listen to his announcement - rambling at times and of course, self- aggrandizing, but he made some excellent points and backed them up with examples and I think he’s worth considering. Never thought I’d say that - but I found myself agreeing with most everything he said - especially taking it to the political leaders that have made such reckless and stupid decisions that have hurt the U.S.A. I really believe The Donald loves this country and wants to see it great again and will wait and see how things unfold before discounting him altogether.

I've listened to him over the years & he's a straight shooter. He's smart not only in business but in foreign policy, I'm very impressed with him & glad he's running. Time to break the Republican Party stronghold on us by picking our candidate.

Trump is more a leader than a politician, and better yet, he isn’t an ivy league lawyer.

He did graduate from the New York Military Academy (which is a private high school within the shadows of West point), spent two years at Fordham University in the Bronx, and then graduated from Wharton School at U. Penn (Ivy League) with a BS in economics. He claims that he has never smoked or used illegal drugs, and that he does not drink and has never been much of a drinker.

"If it comes down to Trump and the Dem candidate, Trump with be triumphant - no doubt."

Right. /S

Rush Limbaugh just posed the question--what happens if Trump decides to pull a stunt and go third party? That means one thing: Hillary.

I could imagine the clown doing it.

The LIBS are all going nuts on Twitter. They are leaving this country if Trump is elected. Even more reason to support him!

You are right. I didn’t know Wharton was considered Ivy League.

Yes, but you can bet that the GOPe, Hillary, and the MSM will emphasize that Trump only has a BS degree and he was only at Wharton for two years, and as a result he is only barely more qualified than Walker to serve as POTUS.

Here’s my dilemma- I’ve been behind Ted Cruz all the way from day one as a hopeful. He’s got brains , he’s articulate and he’s a publicly God-fearing man. But the problem here I’m having is what I haven’t heard from Cruz. Trump said all that Cruz hasn’t said from what I gathered from his speech today& I liked what Trump had to say and I think it resonates with a lot of people.

The reason I’m on the fence right now is because of Cruz’ position on this TPP/whatever it’s called. I’m not too happy about his backing of ANY of that.

I do believe he loves the USA too and it is wise to see how things unfold.
One thing I know for sure is he is a patriot .

This shows how low we have sunk. BO has made hate America the mainstream for liberal progressives. And now, we are simply happy to see an American that loves his country. At one time, 99% of Americans loved their country. Hate and change are now the mantra spewed by the demrats, homowood, and the old media.

I just returned from sitting on the can. I depressed the handle and flushed Hillary, Barack, Michelle, and Donald.
