Trump has filed Bankruptcy, what, 4 times at least? He’s gotten where he is by taking huge risks with other people’s money and cheating them when it didn’t go the way he expected…all the while living the lavish lifestyle with other people’s money. Can’t stand the man…his ego writes checks his body can’t cash…
At this point I’d vote for a hologram of John Wayne.
If that’s true I can’t support him.
That was 15 years ago though. A lot can change in that time. Not saying it has, but that single quote can’t be held in too high of a regard.
I think the closest thing we have to an outsider, who at the same time is capable of doing the job and not getting steamrolled by the establishment is probably Rand Paul. Thinking an economic genius can effectively run government is how we ended up with “whiz kid” Robert MacNamara.
So we shouldn’t hold NAFTA against Hillary? We should forgive Christie for the NJ Assault Weapon ban?
What I like about him in the race is the fact his thoughts are unfiltered and he doesn’t care what others think.
He’ll say what needs to be said and the others are too afraid to. That makes for good entertainment if nothing else.
When there’s a train wreck next to the highway, doesn’t everyone take a good long look at the horror?
I think like Perot, when faced with the possibility he could win, he will find an excuse to bail.
This is all about Trump and the things he promotes and little to do with public service.
I disagree. I think he follows the classic pattern of once you have enough money, then you seek power.
Now, whether he’s in it for a real candidacy or just to shake things up, time will tell. I like what he said in his announcement speech. I personally hope he stays in long enough to become either THE front runner or darn close, and that causes the other candidates to realize what it takes to win.
Maybe, but it’s early and I won’t yet rule out supporting Cruz, Paul, Fiorini, Carson, or Perry.
If Trump makes it to the TX primaries, he may well have my vote. I like Perry too.
Trump calling the Fox talking heads “losers” was funny as heck! I like George Will and Krauthammer, but they had no right to dismiss Trump as a contender. His credentials are as good or better than anyone.
I’d love to see a Trump/Cruz ticket!

Remember when Perry said something to the effect that if you’re against amnesty you have no heart?
I wouldn’t piss on him if his guts were on fire.
"On June 16 Donald Trump officially announced his run for president and in so doing reminded those attending the announcement that we must “fully support and back up the Second Amendment.”
He brought up the Second Amendment in reference to the recent prison break from New York’s Clinton Correctional Facility, citing how people in upper state New York are arming themselves for self-defense and treasuring the Second Amendment with the escapees still on the loose.
TIME published a text of Trump’s comments:
Fully support and back up the Second Amendment.
Now, it’s very interesting. Today I heard it. Through stupidity, in a very, very hard core prison, interestingly named Clinton, two vicious murderers, two vicious people escaped, and nobody knows where they are. And a woman was on television this morning, and she said, “You know, Mr. Trump,” and she was telling other people, and I actually called her, and she said, “You know, Mr. Trump, I always was against guns. I didn’t want guns. And now since this happened”— it’s up in the prison area— “my husband and I are finally in agreement, because he wanted the guns. We now have a gun on every table. We’re ready to start shooting.”
Trump said he found her comments “very interesting,” and added that the lesson is clear–“Protect the Second Amendment.”
On April 11 Breitbart News spoke with Trump, and he told us then, “It is so important that we maintain the Second Amendment and that we maintain it strongly. And one of the main reasons is because the good people, the upstanding people, follow laws and norms, but the bad ones don’t.”
He explained that gun control laws do not impact criminals, because criminals “couldn’t care less.”
He then stressed, “It is absolutely imperative that we maintain the Second Amendment in its strongest form.”

Perry used a lot of TX resources to reinforce the border. I don’t believe he’s for granting amnesty to everyone, but I could be wrong. I thought he was for a realistic solution to deal with the fact that we are never going to send 10M people back south of the border.
I’ll have to dig into his bottom line meaning, but you know as well as I he had to deal with the issue first hand as governor, and at least he took action and equipped TX DPS with good gear and resources as far as I know.
First, I can not believe people still think the Republican party has any sort of viability or moral legitimacy. The solution to our country’s issues does not reside within the GOP.
Second, our country’s financial issues are not resolvable under our current BS Federal Reserve/Banking Cartel system.
Several have posted this video before. For true insight into our almost certain fiscal collapse spend the time to watch…
That stuff is a lot different than a one-liner.
Not to me.
Harry Reid changed his tune to become an NRA A+ candidate, then he changed his tune back and attempted a nationwide assault weapon ban.
I don’t care if the last time somebody mentioned gun control was back in 1968, I remember and I hold them accountable. If you don’t believe Trump would get behind an assault weapon ban 100% if it would secure him money or power then you are really kidding yourself.
But this is all academic, I don’t think we ever have to worry about Trump becoming President. Unlike Hillary, he is unelectable.
Trump is a self-aggrandizing bully with a bad comb over, so WTF, we could do worse.
Oh, believe me I understand what’s going on with this country’s finances. And right now the only candidate I have a interest in is Rand Paul. But, the overriding bottom line here is, If we, the people want to turn this country around, and get it on the right track that’s going to require massive budget cuts. I mean with the scared cows of Medicare,Medicaid, and SS as well as cutting the size of the govt’ by at least 2/3 and shitcanning the Federal Reserve…and that’s just the start. As far as the debt goes, what can’t be paid back, won’t be paid back… A good example of that in the present, is Greece vs the EU, As of today, it looks like the taxpayers in France, and Germany are going to be on the hook for the majority share of the bailouts given to Greece in the past, as Greece has pretty much told their creditors to kiss their ass.(The PM of Greece is meeting with Putin on Fri) We’re talking 10’s of billions of euros… But, back to the U.S. I’ve pretty much given up. George Wallace was right “There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between a Democrat and a Republican” I’ll get off my soap box and leave one of my favorite quotes here…
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, People will eventually come to believe it. The lie can only be maintained for such a time as the state can shield the people from the political, economic, and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the state to use all it’s powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the state”

Any chance that we could keep this thread on track. There are plenty of other threads that detail how Republicans = Democrats and only the descendants of Ron Paul can save us.
