What a stupid thing to say. Trump is worth $9 billion. Both Obama and Romney spent $1 billion on their campaigns, and that was before Citizens United. Estimates for the 2016 race are ranging from $1.5 to $2 billion per side. Do you really think Trump is going to spend close to a quarter of his fortune on a long shot presidential bid?

He surely would get our country's debt straightened out...
Oh really? How?

I want to hear more, but I like what he has to say....

What do you think?
What do I think? I think he was at the center of a bunch of transparently racist idiots raising questions about the place of Obama's birth. I think he has not proposed one single compelling public policy idea. I think he has no (or close to no) public policy experience. I think he's a clown, and has zero chance of winning.

What has he proposed that you like so much?

my guess is that he'll file for an extension on the financial disclosure then bow out before that comes due in the fall.

well, then, know this, I'm not defined by my political affiliation and I expect anything when it comes to Washington, even hiding birth records....information, and has done some very low down underhanded things not in American's best interest I might add.

Oh and by the way, for a new person, your certainly not humble....

He doesn't need anyone...he's rich all by himself, so he won't be in bed with the corporations or special interest groups....period!

I believe a lot of people are intimidated by him and jealous b/c he knows how to work the system...is he shrud, of course he is...but a whole lot more intelligent then Jebb Bush.
I get the part about how he quit intelligence, and I agree completely. But I'm not shrewd enough to know if he's shrud or now.

I was an employee of a small company when one of thier major clients declared bankruptcy and walked away from hundreds of thousands of dollars they owed to us. They reorganized and are back in business today under a new name, but the small business I worked for never recovered. It's what Trump does again and again. I'm sorry, but unlike you, I don't find that kind of behavior admirable.

Everything sold at Walmart is made in China. What exactly is your point?
That the typical American is hypocritical.
Then they certainly could relate to Trump

Though in all seriousness, I don't think Trump is being hypocritical. It is our government's
trade policies with China that hurts America. China is only doing what they can get away
with.
