If it comes down to Mr. Trump and Mrs. Clinton, she would loose in a landslide, and the reason being, she is tied too closely to the present administration, and all the lies.

I can't believe anyone could actually say that with a straight face. If he runs he'll get vetted by the media which will cause him to loose his cool, blow is top and show how out of touch he is with reality and the world at large. He doesn't have the temperament to be a dog catcher, let alone a president of a country. Oh, and by the way, the ability to accumulate wealth proves nothing. Lots of dirty, crooks without a moral bone in their bodies are able to accumulate wealth.

IF wealth is the standard of a man, do you think Donny has accumulated as much wealth as Saddam Hussein? Vladimir Putin? et al? Would that make those people superior to Lil' Donny?

No, but you can get a damn good head start by having the right parents. From what I've read Donny was able to borrow ~$30M from his future inheritance to get himself going and he didn't do a damn thing to bring that about.

In case you're unaware, there's a very large difference between picking yourself up by your bootstraps and picking yourself up by your silver spoon.

What is it about him that you feel he would make a lousy president.?
He is going to make an announcement on June 16th.
I am sure he will run for the presidency, and I think he would make a great President.

I don't believe those against Mr. Trump's bid for the office have actually sat down and listened to him .
What he has to say should be heard by every American of voting age.
I want all of you (before coming to any conclusions about Mr. Trump) to take some time and listen to what he has to say, then ask yourself if he makes sense.
Click on this link.
Donald Trump - 2016 Republican Presidential Candidates
After watching the first video, (when it ends, a series of other videos are displayed on the screen) click on the video where he is talking with Bret Baier.
It will be in the upper right of the screen.

I guarantee when you listen to him, you will come away with a whole new impression of the man who would be President.

Bob.
I think the man a buffoon.

probably none, so???

when did an amount of money become the determining factor in judging a person's character or work ethic? trump's elaborate comb-over shows me he's a man with some self-image issues. plus his obsession with business and his high profile affairs point to a man that can't balance work and a family life. two things i wouldn't trade for trump's estimated $4.2billion.

there is no poll that shows anything close to that claim being the reality. just the opposite. if you like the guy, great, knock yourself out, but if you're going to predict a landslide have some numbers to back it up.

it's trump that has embraced one of the grandest "tinfoil hat" beliefs, birtherism.

He made his money the old fashioned way- Her Inherited It.

Trump's old man was a developer and Donald took over from him. I don't begrudge him that. Fair is fair, but he is not some rags to riches or Steve Jobs type of story. He is good at what he does.

He is still a buffoon and someone who should not be anywhere near any government position.

here are some of trumps dabblings into birtherism:

trump claimed that obama's grandmother said she was at his birth in kenya.

false. sarah obama never said the president was born in kenya and has repeatedly stated that he was born in HI.

trump claimed that obama spent "over $4 million" in legal fees hiding his records.

false. the vast majority of the 220+ birther lawsuits obama has not been a defendant and the few that he has been were quickly dismissed. there is nothing to support the claim that obama has spent "millions" and the amount has fluctuated among birthers from 1.5 million to 10 million.

trump claimed to have "people" in HI investigating obama's birth and that "they cannot believe what they are finding".

to date there has been nothing to indicate these people actually existed let alone found any evidence.

trump claimed that a HI "certification of live birth" ( COLB ) is not a legal birth certificate.

false. it is ( trump's own lawyers submitted a NY "certification of live birth" to the court to prove the facts of his birth in his lawsuit against bill maher ).

trump claimed that there is no signature or certification number on the COLB.

false. photos of the COLB clearly show both.

trump claimed that "nobody knew" obama growing up as a child.

false. recollections from friends and classmates are easily found from all phases of his youth and schooling.

What is it that made you form your opinion of Mr. Trump.
Please be specific in your answer.
It is easy to make a statement,but takes balls to back it up.
So, let's have a go at it.
Why your negative feelings about Mr.Trump?

Bob.
He is a birther, nuff said.

Reportedly, there are nude pictures of wife#3 out there.
There is a 3- year age difference between his oldest and youngest child.
Sounds very similar to Newt Gingrich.
