Why you should fear Donald Trump
CNBC ^ | June 30th, 2015 | Mark Macias, media consultant

Posted on 06/30/2015 5:52:54 PM PDT by Mariner

In business, you fear the person who has nothing to lose and everything to gain because he will fight you till the end. In politics, you fear the person who has everything to lose and nothing to gain, especially if he has totalitarian control.

These general principals are why NBC and every GOP presidential candidate should be very fearful right now of Donald Trump. He won't play by the rules in politics because he has run a totalitarian regime. He will also fight till the end because he wrongfully believes he has nothing to lose in business.

The proof for that analysis is already underway. Less than 24 hours after NBC severed its business ties, Trump began throwing dirty bombs at the network. As a former producer and executive producer with NBC in New York, I can tell you Trump knew exactly where to hit.

Chris Christie. He announced today.

Hallelujah! The GOP is saved!

/S

Another distraction from substantive debate on turning this country around.

Didn't you host the original Seattle Freeper BBQ?

Or maybe you just brought some good chow:)

I agree. He’s either a clown or a carnival barker ... or both. He’s not for real and he’s not running for president. It’s a farce.

"He’s actually a liberal

He’s a total grandstander

And truth he doesn’t want the job, we wants the press."

No one wants to hear it. The cult of personality is running at breakneck speed.

"Are you a gibsmedat who doesnt like Trump?"

LOL, see?

It's actually gone that far..."how dare you dislike/criticize Trump!"

"Why do you think he’s not in it for the actual run? Seems to me that he’s running just fine"

Of course he is...right now. Because he wants to.

He thrives on the spotlight and the attention. He's a veteran stunt-puller, a modern-day P.T. Barnum. He can afford this national ego-stroke until he gets tired of it and drops out. Until then, he'll keep on tossing the red meat to the people who are in awe of him.

And the fact remains that Trump is a liberal.

I swear...y'all are just easily fooled. Amazingly so.

Now, now, fat boy is a derogatory term we should not use when talking about fellow republicans. How about Jumbo?

"You misspelled BILLIONAIRE."

The two are mutually exclusive...?

I do think he is seroius...I hope he is the nominee.

I'd be thrilled to have him as our nominee as well, I think he would be a good president.

I just thought the “we needs the media” typo was funny.
Theres plenty of room to criticize all of the candidates.
Its just different to see someone really play hardball with Hillary and the press, isnt it?

Actually I like the way Ted Cruz plays hardball. He does so while maintaining a semblance of dignity...cool, collected, sharp.

He doesn’t flail around and yell.

I spent the last two weeks out on the streets of a large American city helping someone launch their ballot petition effort. The only presidential candidate regular folks were talking about was Donald Trump.

Did’nt Cruz reverse his vote on Obamatrade? That is not flinching. That is making the right decision on 2nd thought.

Not only is Trump going to make Mexico pay for the Wall, he is going to make Univision pay for his campaign.

The others are looking more pale by the day.

Not. Saban owns Univision. He is Hillary's campaign bundler. Univision owner: 'When Hillary Clinton is president...'

As a Mexican-American, words can't describe how offensive that "sound bite" was. Trump's speech wasn't political or divisive. It was pure racism, playing to the lowest common denominator — fear.

Nothing hurts like the truth.
