Note also that Trump didn't run for president in 2012, because he felt that Romney would adequately represent his positions on the issues he most cares about.
But hopefully, Trump will do a service to this GOP primary campaign by getting other candidates to solidify their positions against illegal immigration and against amnesty. Then, too, he can siphon off some RINO primary votes from Jeb Bush and others.
I like to tell my friend that it would be a cold day in hell before I vote democrat. Donald trump is one of the few republican candidates that could cause me to vote democrat. I think he would be as bad a choice for the republicans. If he is the4 candidate I might just not vote
Trump may be a clown but he had some choice things to say today and was beholden to no one in saying them. It must be nice to be so financially independent you can call balls and strikes EXACTLY like you see them. Good for Trump.
Crazy Hannity said today on his radio program that Trump will sure as heck bring some spine and energy to the rest of the candidates if they expect to keep up.
WTH are the rest of the candidates anyway? It’s still early. They are pacing themselves, I’m sure, and still concentrating on raising money to make a credible run.
Trump is "financially independent" and "beholden to no one"?
Wait a second.
I've been told on this thread that Trump "had to" donate money to Democrats because it's the cost of "doing business".
LOL.
Big whip. All the big businessmen, as well as all financial institutions big and small, give to both sides. Because they are regulated by them, by whichever side is in office at the time. So business people hedge their bets, if they want to stay in business. You are stupid business-wise if you don’t. But it appears some here can’t understand the obvious. Plus The Donald in particular, being in New York, works in an environment entirely hostile to Republicans.
Well, The Donald just announced he is running for President as a Republican, not a Democrat. That in itself is a big step for this man to take, and a gutsy one. His true colors are showing now, because he is in a position and at an age where he doesn’t have to obfuscate any more. He’s got more cajones than many in this society for the issues he is willing to take on and speak honestly about. I’m all for him running, and the hits he is taking from the MSM, and from the RINO’s in particular (see too many on Fox News, in particular the horrid Dana Perino as an example)just show he is over target. And the target are RINO’s. Trump is going after RINO’s. You should be delighted.
Donald Trump IS a Democrat!!! I have heard him say that “He LOVES HILLARY”!!!! He is a Stalking Horse.....I Like him a lot, but he is a DEMOCRAT!!
Trump is a populist. And a Nationalist with appeal to Reagan Democrats.
“He’s going to be a force in this election whether he wins anything or not.
This shifts the debate substantially on some critical issues many other candidates are unable to address because their contributors don’t see the world the same way as the average American.
Trump is going to tap that vein.”
Bingo. Dead on. You nailed it.
Dear Chuck,
Trump is in a Democrat city in a Democrat state surrounded by Democrat states, and infested with Democrat politicians that could easily kill his business plans.
Peddle your BS somewhere else, hack.
Love,
Laz
Sure, "big whip". What difference does it make, right?
So it's okay to help fund the destruction of our country because it will help him make money.
Truly unbelievable.
“Tolerate diversity; prosecute hate crimes against gays. (Jul 2000
Really?”
Yes, really. You don’t tolerate diversity? We all do, if you want to live in this country. And although I don’t agree with the extra layer of “hate” being added to any crime, I do agree with prosecuting to the fullest anyone who attacks gays in particular, and using our current laws, minus the extra layer of designating it as a hate crime, even if it is, I want all criminals who do bodily harm to another prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
“I would agree with that statement, and I would further add, Trump has no values, he is just trying to sell a product to advance himself, to enrich himself.”
He’s already filthy rich, and doesn’t need to stoop to the “measly salary” he would receive as Prez. He wants to be Prez to fix this country and bring it back to wealth and prosperity. I’m all for that.
“Invite foreigners graduating from college to stay in US. (Dec 2011)
Really?”
Yes really. That’s how it always used to be, before the Dems radically changed the terms of immigration. You take the cream of the crop from any country and use them to help build a greater and inventive U.S. Only a moron would not recognize this as an excellent policy. One that used to be our country’s immigration policy for many years. Geez, think.
“I agree. Let’s see the whole mix of ideas and promises from all of the politicians, and have fun! Regarding some of the dialogue seen here over the past ten years or so, traditionally, real, common Americans didn’t call each other names and try to shut each other up over politicians.
Political class folks these days speak more like followers of Benito Mussolini. Too much recent European influence without adequate assimilation. We need new, old fashioned leadership in every level of business, academia and politics. The default process might help with that.”
Bingo, and bears repeating, which I just had you do above, lol.
“Rush was right today. he is the new Perot.”
Perot went third party. The Donald never did.
“Trump is a moron.
No one can take this white overprivileged sexist jerk seriously.”
You are all in for a rude surprise.
You're so right. Trump is so rich that he doesn't need to stoop to donating to Democrats.
Oh wait...
“Sure, “big whip”. What difference does it make, right?
So it’s okay to help fund the destruction of our country because it will help him make money.
Truly unbelievable.”
Our country is already hell-bent on destruction. And you think Trump, as pure a capitalist as you can get, will destroy us? Are you nuts?
LOL! Love the pic.
Pure capitalist?
Trump is a crony capitalist.
He donated to Democrats. He help fund the destruction of our country.
He donated to the Democrat Senatorial Campaign and the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee. He recently donated 100K to the Clinton Foundation.
That's 25K more than George Stephenopoulus.
That's the corrupt Clinton Foundation!
Are you nuts?
