I’m sorry. I wasn’t clear. I was talking about Carson.

I think Trump already has enough voters signed up.

No other candidate in this crowded field has the leadership skills that Trump has. I’m sorry if that steps on toes, but truth is truth.


True it is.

Thanks for clearing that up. I didn’t realize Carson wasn’t on the ballot in Virginia.

Carson made some brief speech at a prayer breakfast and all of a sudden some people were saying he should run for president. It reminds me of Paul Ryan making some strong comments concerning a budget in front of Obama. Both were put on the political map by short videos. I don’t believe either video would make one a great Speaker or president.

Sorry. I got all my posts confused. I’m trying to work and post at the same time. Probably not a good idea.

This probably means that he already has a deal in place with an unnamed party. Now he’s offering the deal to others. If he pulls this off, it will demonstrate, by example, what he can do as President. At the very least it keeps him in the headlines.


Good point

Think of it as a double team.

Cruz brought up the issue at the debate.

Trump will use his skill set to nail the details.

So yes, I am serious.

Most of us truly wish to leave something of pride for the next generation. Our grandparents, parents, ancestors fought and died for this country. To see how it has been squandered is deplorable.

It is deplorable, but it can be salvaged, and quickly.

Trump has been in this thing only a little over a 100 days, and look how the landscape has already been turned.

The right man can turn the country too, especially one who has stated he is going to work long and hard as President.

I believe he qualified for the Virginia ballot a few days ago.

If the profit goes to a conservative group - that group can pay the networks for time. We pay for our own debates - make money selling ads and pick our own moderators. If that's even close, it sounds great.

Democrats can do the same...of course not many democrats watch debates - there's the few white liberal elites (the group propped up by the ‘victim groups’) some dependent women - a few union bosses and a small number of blacks and Hispanics.

Hillary's big meetings are filled with old white people bused in from local retirement centers... and some high school kids teacher's unions push to stand behind her. It's ‘astroturf-lite’...None of those groups are going to show up to watch a debate in person or on TV..

That is the “ask”. It’s a negotiation. So, ultimately maybe something goes to charity. The network will have no ratings without Trump. Moreover, he’ll probably tell them that he’ll do some televised event in the same time slot, or one close to it, that will assure that the network gets no ratings.

Ping!

Assembling a Make America Great Again pinglist for FRiends of Trump. There is power in numbers, in discussing his positions, in networking and even in organizing local events as time goes on.

If you've been pinged, you're already on and need to do nothing. Let's add FRiends of Trump by word-of-ping and try to avoid disrupters on the list.

To be dropped from, or added to, this pinglist, freepmail Albion Wilde.

Why not let the networks simply keep their own profits from the debate? Profits aren't evil. In fact they serve a purpose.

When one limits profit, one also limits debate. It doesn't encourage debate.

You will have less debates.

Trump was on record at least a month ago about donating proceeds of the debates to charity. Recall? He made news suggesting it to CNN.

And that’s the first I’d ever heard the idea anyplace.
