Five threads about Trump but nobody is worried about him? Everybody's pooh poohing Trump on Fox News but nobody is worried about him? Who talks so much about people they aren't worried about?

I seem to recall no one was worried about Pawlenty or Huntsman but no one was talking about them, either. I don't even think anyone bothered with opposition research on them. I couldn't even remember Pawlenty's name last week. Jeb Bush announced this past week. Anyone know what he said? (Trump said Jeb should dress better on the campaign trail - I remember that.)

Didn't Hillary restart her campaign this week so how come everyone was talking about Bernie's crowds and his movement up in the polls?

The Clinton/Bush cheerleaders in the media aren't shaking their pom poms hard enough. They're too busy pretending they aren't afraid.

They're afraid as well they should be. A Trump presidency would be a major needed restart to the absolute BS both parties have gotten us into. Chattering heads are in the same bed as dem/republican entrenched politicians. It's a disgusting and incestuous relationship that will either finish of the dream of America or someone like Trump will turn it on its head. I'm hoping for the latter. Trump is a blowhard but then little barry of the large ears has that beat by a country mile. We've never had bigger blowhard in the white house as that POE.

It has nothing to do with any fears he could be nominated or elected Trump is a celebrity which is why he is getting the attention. He will get votes though. AZ's Arpaio shows that people are pretty stupid and will vote for a showman/blowhard if he says what they want to hear.

With some luck, Trump could end up in the top half of the GOP field.

If the policy objective is to preserve any semblance of real value to social security, medicaid and medicare, and increase the incomes of average people on US soil - which to me by now seems even a question of national security -, then constraining trade and immigration, and restoring at least some basic manufacturing to US soil, is a coherent policy. Inflation and interest rates could rise, but many people would welcome that, and if managed properly, wages could increase at a faster pace.



But the Clinbushes and Bushtons and other DRINOs, and their global business overlords,

Donald Trump is a breath of fresh air in an elevator of stale fots, but most likely that is as far as it will go.

Surprise me!

That's as likely as Hillary winning the Dem nomination.

True, o/s of JB and Rubio, it is a weak field. Like the Kentucky Derby, 20 horse field, 75% flawed.
