And this makes him different from other politicians

Actually those that are NOT on the b.s talk shows and crap reality shows are the ones with credibility. Trump cld be good for financial issues...yes he is an odious person, but sometimes they get the job done.

If they dont find a decent Indep. who isnt a nut tea-bagger, I guess we have no choices.

I will like whoever favors a middle east withdrawal... not really for ideological reasons but because it is such a crushing financial strain on our economy, and the money is desperately needed domestically. I'm flabbergasted that Obama got us into a third war, isn't that why they told us not to vote for McCain? After this whole Obama fiasco I'm not even sure I can bring myself to vote at all.... but I will.

I'm an independent with a slight lean to the right.

But these days it's harder and harder to tell these two parties apart.

What happened to less spending and smaller gov't?

I voted for Obama last time

It's no slam dunk that I'll vote for Obama again.

I took an online questionare to determine which candidate was the best fit for me in 2008, the answer was Mitt Romney. Mitt has no chance of being the GOP choice for president (too liberal)

I'll do my homework once we get a lirttle closer.

Overall, other than Trump (who appears too "liberal-minded") to southerners, there is no competition for Obama.

Both Repugs and dems are STILL losing the sight of Independents who are fed up. Maybe Lou Dobbs will run for office someday.

If Lou Dobbs is even going to run it would have to be now, or maybe 2016 but not someday. I don't think the American people want a Pres that is so socially conservative anyway.

really?. Im not seeing socially liberal is accepted that much.

Trump has just created a circus. Im tired of it already. Its turning off voters a year early.

I voted Obama, and that turned out like voting for banking corruption and Federal bailouts.

Other than that I am way sick of media circus. Its sickening, I will not even turn the tv on unless its to watch a classic film on TCM. I have satellite and watch 2 channels, lol. Thats another problem in America. Too much trash media.

GOP a non-factor with their obstructionist tactics, petty, inaccurate, trite narratives, whining, clueless commentary, and failure to come up with ideas to solve problems.

We are fortunate to have Obama at the helm, and there isn't an opposition candidate who can touch him. He's here through 2016.
I think you forget anyone can read your past posts. Nobody will buy that you are an Independent.

I think he's Lindsey Graham with a D. He's a drama queen.

there is socially liberal and there is in your face socially conservative. For the most part, the mainstream GOP would rather see socially liberal and fiscally conservative instead of the other way around.
