How so? By action or vote:


Has he gotten us into a war?

Has he spent us into oblivion?

Has he taken the money you earned and given it to someone else?

Is he the reason the US doesn't rank in the Top 10 for education?

Has he taken away, eroded or threatened to take away any of your personal freedoms or the freedoms of family members?

Has he bowed to any leaders in other countries or apologized for the US?

Has he kept anything secret from you?

Is he a man of action/a do-er or is he a man of words/all talk no action?

Has he ever taxed you?

Has he ever made fun of you, publicly?

Does he have a record of rebounding from financial down times?

Please tell us how Donald Trump has impacted your life, negatively?

ie. Palin. She didn't make the national scene based on brain power.

Yes, though I'm not sure they're afraid Trump can beat Obama. They recognize that Trump is not afraid to get in their faces and push for action.

For three years, the media has failed to pursue any detail regarding the life of Obama. Trump, in three weeks, was able to produce the long form BC. Now he's looking for other info. You can see the shreiks in the *******s faces.

Also, Trump has drawn the heat off the real fear of the left.. Sarah Palin. ???What??? She's been in the news lately? Trump has put up such a big wall, the press and its minions - the libs - can't see what's going on outside of Wisconsin.

Trump won't be the republican candidate but he's sure got the left in a twist.

Why should liberals fear the Donald when he is one? Afterall he has a penchant for donating to people like Harry Reid and Rahm Emmanuel.

I just realized you can replace the name "Trump" with "Palin" and find the exact same threads. Probably even by the exact same OP...
There are probably other names too, those "only ones who can beat Obama" types that the libs are so afraid of.

No, we are not afraid of him. We do think he's funny though.

We are also smart enough to know that the Donald (do you think he refers to himself in the 3rd person?)has no intention of running for prez. This is all one big pr campaign to help falling ratings for a TV show, and to feed his huge ego.

all i know is trump said 'jump" and obama said "how high"?

up until trump came into the picture obama had zero interest in releasing any documents regarding any of his personal history.

it will be interesting to see what happens next.

again, i am not saying that i support trump-especially since he hasn't even outlined a platform- but trump certainly makes things interesting. for the record, i personally still hope that ron paul runs.
