Trump hasn't been in Politics and doesn't have any dirty laundry in it. Must piss the other politicians off to a tee that a non political person can run and be near or the top of the polls. And a big thanks to NBC for running the Apprentice for a very long time and letting America watch Trump make decisions on whom to keep and whom to fire. Some of those folks in Washington could be getting nervous if he ever gets elected.

He's saying all the right things, if he can keep his foot out of his mouth.
With the frickin' deficit higher than the moon, I think we need a businessman.
Entitlers ain't gonna like him; businessmen don't give away money. So, being a white businessman, he automatically loses the entire non white voter segment and all the Dems.
Not in terms of the Electoral Vote Count come the only vote count that is meaningful.
On the other side, Bernie Sanders is making a similar mistake.
For Trump it was all over before he announced. His support is too limited, his foot in mouth troubles too damaging to the votes he must attract. His personality is perfect for a flashy celebrity buzz and rapid peak, but there is no distance to it.

Yeah that's what you been saying all along. Now Trump is leading 26% to Jeb Bush's 3rd place 12% in the polls.

Sure he does- He is a corporate mogul and he has dirt on both sides of the fence along with Carly. There interest are being sold out to the highest foreign bidder with Obummers TPA, TPP, Fast track etc. Enough is enough with American jobs.

Watch all the polls. Not just leading to the party nominations but the "If the election were held today" polls. Clinton beats every Republican. In the case of Trump by as much as 17 points.
Obviously it matters if a candidate can win a nomination or not. It matters far more if the candidate can win the general election.
Right now the closest anyone comes to beating Clinton is Jeb Bush and he's 6 points back but closing the gap.
What a sorry state of affairs that is.

All I can find. Try it for yourself:

Agreed that Trump is doing well towards the Republican nomination. While I suspect he will fade and not win it, it remains a long shot that shouldn't be ignored.
I'm talking about Tuesday, November 8, 2016. The Presidential Election. Not the primaries or the conventions, the final big fat hairy deal when an embarrassingly small percentage of Americans will turn out to do their civic duty. The Democratic VS Republican final test. Who wins the big chair and who makes the concession speech?
Right now, in terms of that big day the Trump effort is aiding Clinton.
This kind of thing happens fairly often in our Presidential elections. A candidate that excites and satisfies a base is too weak in the wider electorate to win. Democrats have been there before with McGovern, Mondale and Dukakis. Republicans have had their own examples of this with Bush Sr., Dole and McCain.
Failure to consider the end game is a plan to lose that game.
Right now, that's where Trump is.

While I am not as astute as a political pundit as you are I can do math. The Dems have 3-4 viable candidates while the Repubs have at least 10.
As we all know if every Registered Democrat voted we would never have a Republican in office.
I am not a Trump fan but he saying what people are and have been thinking.......main stream people not the weirdo's, the 3% of the population that the press plays to and wants everyone to think is mainstream.
Make no mistake this country is angry. We need someone who will put it back on track.
Trump, for better or worse, is going to say whatever he pleases. His financial backing is such that he can afford to displease the mainstream. He's smart and he's about as politically incorrect as anyone could possibly be.
Don't misunderstand. This is not an endorsement for Mr. Trump. While I suppose it's possible that Trump might bubble to the top, I believe otherwise. The one thing I see as a positive is that Trump will hopefully force whomever is chosen by the Republicans to rise above the norm and actually offer us a conservative candidate with strong convictions and the ability to call Mrs. Clinton the dirt bag she really is... And make it stick!
I'll note by the comments above that the majority here are doing exactly what those in power wish. You do realize, don't you, that you're participating in the "divide and conquer" methodology of both political parties? The moment personal wealth is brought into a discussion, then assume someone of us has bought into class warfare.

Without question, and should there ever be a decent politician that runs for president on the GOP ticket, they will be so readily identifiable as being supremely suited for the position, that the voters they have run off for the past few elections will once again join the party. Just my two cents.
Why would anyone in their right mind vote for a democrap
or a republican?
Here's the problem... Dems are mostly brain dead. By this I don't mean stupid. It's more a matter of being indoctrinated rather than educated.
The Republicans misunderstand the meaning of having a pair. They seem to believe that by being male they qualify and that by being a female and wishing so the shes in the crowd can claim such. Not so of course!
What nobody seems to understand that "growing a pair" has a much deeper meaning. Sadly most are castrated in both the literal and figurative sense.
I don't think that's much of a qualification for Commander-In-Chief
Bankruptcy saved his empire. More than once.

Not so, Smart business folk know how to manipulate law that the congress and senate passed. Loopholes. This country runs as a business not some political playground for those folks in Washington. Watch Trump come forward and tell America he will do the job for Nothing. Or he will donate his salary to needy causes. Try that with those morons there now. They vote themselves a pay raise.
Most on GB are by now aware of this happening--The point Trump didn't take it, most of the Republicans as 'nord' noted don't have a pair. They would have simply shrugged off Grahams mouth and trudged on, not Trump. The general worried about where we are headed public loves it

Like I have posted before. I may not vote for the man, but if you look into the circumstances and the outcomes of the bankruptcies they do not support a statement like you wrote.
I posted an article about this in another thread. But there are several sources of information available.
Trump was in favor of the President's stimulus package. Also supported the Clinton 1994 semi-automatic weapon ban; supported "universal healthcare."
Trump tells a good tale. He'll "bring jobs back to America". Sounds good, but no specifics given. "Seal the border." Again, no specifics.
I think he's a shill, thrown out there by the RNC by design, to make Jeb Bush look like a "moderate." Same as Bernie Sanders. I absolutely believe he gets air time to make Hillary Clinton look "centrist."
It's all a big circus. No conservative will ever be allowed to reach the general election. The two Royal Families will be the 2016 ticket: Bush and Clinton.
We ARE doomed.
Trump is a very successful businessman.
With the frickin' deficit higher than the moon, I think we need a businessman.
Entitlers ain't gonna like him; businessmen don't give away money. So, being a white businessman, he automatically loses the entire non white voter segment and all the Dems.
I've been saying we need a businessman as President since H. Ross Perot ran in 1992 and 1996.
Face it, the US government is the "largest" business in the world.
and it needs a businessman with business smarts to run it.
History shows how lawyers and politicians cannot run a business.
92 percent of President Barack Obama's administration has "never worked ...."

Bankruptcies are legal codification of promises made and not kept.
His first one, he had to sell personal assets because he did not protect them.
His last three, he had learned to protect personal assets, and only had to sell or give up control of business assets.
Either way, he did not follow through on the commitments he was contracted, and his creditors were forced by the legal pressure of the bankruptcy court to accept something other than that which was contracted. Not what I would like in a President.
One bankruptcy, or maybe two shows aggressive risk taking. Four shows lack of discipline and excessive risk taking. Again, not what I would like to see in a President.

Ross Perot warned them... That giant sucking sound of Jobs and Industry leaving. They should have listened. Maybe this time.
