Dan Rather: Donald Trump Could Be Our Next President (watch out for exploding heads)
newsmax.com ^ | Bill Hoffmann

Posted on 10/12/2015 9:02:03 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Veteran newsman Dan Rather says Donald Trump could be headed to the White House.

"I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility he gets elected," Rather, former "60 Minutes" correspondent and "CBS Evening News" anchor, told The Hollywood Reporter.

"I said in the beginning he's not going to go away quickly. He isn't going to be the shooting star that goes away.

"Because whatever else you think of Donald Trump, he is smart, he's very television smart. Donald Trump certainly has a good shot at the nomination.

But Rather believes Trump must provide many more details on his ambitious policies.

The principle question for Trump is, how is he going to handle foreign policy? Because he doesn't have great experience in foreign policy," he said.

"So I think the key question is give me the names of specific people that you will call upon for foreign policy."

As well, Rather said, he needs to expand on his idea of ridding the United States of all illegal immigrants.

"He wants to send all of them back to Mexico and other places … but how specifically does he intend to do that? With 10, 12 million people, how's he going to find them?"

How much foreign policy did the current POS have? Unless a day trip to Springfield counts...

Considering that Trump has two bills, what are the other candidates doing except trying to copy his skills (Carson) and yapping their jaws to hear them rattle....

He has Hotels and Golf courses ALL over the world. He probably more experiences in foreign policy than most.

“...Trump must provide more details...”

Meanwhile, the media is OK with Hillary refusing to provide any details on anything from her past or present and was totally ok with her statement “What difference does it make...”

Every knock a boost, as they say, particularly when Redford's propaganda film of Cap'n Dan's "undeserved" boot from SeeBS is being marketed and promoted.

Blather has to say something to get himself mentioned by the current LSM.

the Chinese government-run bank is a big tenant at Trump Tower.

He’s actually negotiated with the Chicom government. And got a deal that he liked. He is their landlord.

Who else can say that?

Jeb?

He has one heck of a lot more foreign policy experience than the current turd in the white hut

How the rest of the world views the turd

Not to mention the fact that the media didn't ask oblahblah ANYTHING about foreign policy or much else in 2008; they were all like, 'oh he's great because he'll be the first black president'...screw them, they are nothing but liars from top to bottom. I'm not real crazy about Trump but he is about one-thousand times better than ANY of the democrats running.

With 10, 12, 30, 50 million people, how do you not find them?

It's not exactly looking for a needle in a haystack is it?

Rather is invoking the Trump Media Rule.

Mention Trump, make the news.
