What is Trump really up too.

There is no doubt that "The Don" with his damnation of so many things that Conservatives are opposed to has a following that puts him at the top of the list of GOP candidates.

Many of the candidates have burned bridges with Trump and made an enemy that due to an ego the size of Mt.Rushmore, Trump would never support but just for a second, suppose that this is simply a ploy by Trump to pull hard core conservatives into his camp, while some other candidate pulls the moderates and independents into his camp and all of a sudden you have the majority of Republicans and Conservatives all moving in the same direction.

I really don't think Trump wants to become president. Why should he. Being president would put him in a box that would go against too many things his empire was built on plus he does have a lot of baggage that will become an issue at some point.

Granted my Crystal Ball is been wrong from time to time but what I see happening is that at some point Trump will announce that he has decided that for the "good of the party" and other reasons he has decided to end his run for the White House.

Next Mr. Trump will ask all his loyal followers to get behind him and help elect candidate so and so in 2016 that he thinks would led America back to fame and fortune.

If I'm right, Trump has conned America's hard core conservatives, middle of the road conservatives and independents under one tent that could led us up the road to the White House in 2016.

So there you have it folks. P.T. Barnum is credited by many to have said, "There's a sucker born every minute." There's just one thing wrong with that, P.T Barnum didn't say it.
A man named David Hannum said it about P.T.Barnum.
Just a little tidbit of "In your face" because I'm feeling cranky this morning.[}:)]

    Whether he knows it or not he's running defense for Hillary by taking flak that should be directed at her from the media which will enable her to slide into the White House [:(!]. A 3rd party run like Perot in 92 will put her in office just like it did her husband with only 42% of the vote. Why change playbooks if the one used before was successful ? This is their game plan to victory and unfortunately we and our constitution are screwed again ! [:(]

    He is saying out loud what most (R) scum won't say but needs said.

    That is why he is making the news.

    The news wants to destroy him.

    The news will destroy him.

    I wonder if he's trying to wake up America some about the crisis that we're in with our grumbling inter-self. The roads, bridges, power lines, water lines all falling out from under us. Words like: germ warfare, mustard gas(tastes great=diarreha don't wait)& We don't need no stinkin bombs are brought to my thoughts. What you say? All the flags after 9-11, where da at?

    Trump is attracting the disaffected voter who is swayed by superficial sound bites that are deliberately free of detail and substance.

    The narrative that he has the courage to say what we are thinking while the others cower behind PC and politics is, almost by definition, false.

    He has no doubt focused group everything he is saying, crafting his message and approach to tap into the emotional response of those disaffected voters.

    It is a short term strategy of self promotion, and may very well be designed to position himself as a kingmaker. It is obviously not a strategy to become president.

    Yep, I give him credit for telling the truth about the Obama created border crisis.


    The "news" that wants to and will destroy him is the democrat party.

    This will end badly for the Republicans.

    This election will parallel the Bush-Perot-Clinton election, where
    Perot pulled votes away from Bush and Clinton got elected

    Jeb Bush will get nominated.
    Trump will then run as an independent pulling votes away from Bush, and

    Hillary gets elected.[xx(][xx(][:(!]......it's depressing[B)]

    Hey fokes, he has the ear of ALOT of people. People tired of voting for the lesser of the evils. But, if he runs as an independent Hillary will get in for sure[xx(]

    I am not sure he could not beat Hilary, He would clean the floor with Her in any debate, He is not afraid to bash Her right there on stage. No doubt I would never vote for Bush, Christie or Patiki

    I am so sick of gelding Republicans. These guys are idiots to believe being spineless without convictions as "moderates" will gain votes. Is Nancy Pelosi a moderate? Harry Reid? Barack The Muslim Obama is not a moderate. These are hard core socialists.

    I don't want to see light socialists as Republicans.

    My own Congressman sickens me. Adam Kinzinger's talks tough on FOX NEWS but has no interest in voting against Obama.


    He'll it used to be Democrats that have the spine of earthworms. Now it is Republicans.

    I hope Trump shows them it is OK to ha E a backbone.

    In a world where Hillary, Jeb, and Trump are taking center stage in a presidential race, I can only conclude the kool-aid the masses are drinking is better because it has electrolytes.

    The proffessional politicians and media can't figure out how Trump is so far ahead in the polls shows just how isolated and far removed they are from the common people, they all gather around in bars after a hard days work [:o)] socializing during "Happy Hour" on other peoples money not seeing/knowing the pain out in the Heartland of America. Mid-size cities and small towns are all but dead and people are tired of trying to survive & they just don't get it ?? Win or lose maybe Trump will wake a few * up [;)].

    I'm suspicious of anyone who bashes Trump. What is their motivation? They must be a liberal Democrat? A run-of-the-mill mainstream suburban corporate type conformist? A RINO? A Media type?
