Many around here seem to think Donald Trump has caused himself ''Trouble'' ...bad publicity, etc. with his factual statements which have offended some ....but also rallied many.

Are most of you this naive? I have to laugh. Trump has not caused himself ''trouble'' in the least.

What's he's doing is exciting a massive group of the base of conservatives who have been apathetic and stagnant for many years. Trump's STRONG Stance is Exactly what Ton's of ''helpless feeling voters'' have been yearning for.

The fact is....Donald Trump has been putting his money $$ where his mouth is. Rather than being a typical ''Politically Correct'' ...Go along to get along, fickle politician.....Trump is lashing out with Force Telling it like it is. Seemingly unafraid of losing his many lucrative business connections, Trump has shot out of the Gate with Fire and vigor.

He may not be a Skilled politician.....But what Good have Any of them been?

LISTEN...and you will SEE....Donald Trump is electrifying thousands with his style of candid, hopeful, outspoken speech..... on the Stump with Trump.

Donald Trump, Hot or Not: Not. The Spanish gaffe just shows the GOP's ineptitude with getting the minority vote. 17% of the nation is Latino and is a growing voting block especially in swing states. If whoever wins the Democratic nominee tries the Obama tactic of courting the Affrican-American vote, the GOP will face only the older white male and married white female vote. No candidate wins on those demographics alone. Reagan, Bush 41, Bush 43 and even Nixon knew that but not the current Republican party.

Not.

I shudder to think about what kind of people could be electrified by Donald Trump.

Hey, I am not sure my vote goes to Trump. But, Guarantee you. Trump IS firing out with many facts that the other wimps won't touch. If Trump can learn to temper himself....become polished, he'll be a force to be heard, at the least.

No doubt....Trump is striking a cord with many...daily. And, his Tough talk may breed more honesty from the Same ol...same ol political hacks who smooth talk us to sleep.

Debates will be LIVELY....fo sho.

NBC thing made Trump look great. They fire Trump for making controversial comments, yet Al Sharpton has a show with them. It's laughable, the incompetence. Trump has the best chance to win the nomination. He is exposing everything. Fired for making controversial comments, but Al Sharpton has a show? John Kerry negotiating with Iran? WTF? I'm pretty sure Trump can do a better job than Obama. Obama is a community leader, who never ran a lemonade stand before reaching office. Trump will do a little better I'm sure.

Agree. All the CORRUPT Networks are the biggest problem in American Politics. All are Agenda driven despicable, vile, dishonest .....with the goal of changing American values and tradition thru deceitful brainwashing tactics (LIES).

They have succeeded.

Nonsense.

I don't expect Trump to Win anything. I DO expect whoever does win, won't be any better. And probably won't be as good for the Nation.

None in sight....have the Know-how and ability to make a difference. I'm fairly certain of that.

what exactly are you basing this claim on? he's mid-pack in the polls and has the highest unfavorable rating among GOP primary voters. so again, what indicates he has the "best chance to win the nomination"?

I think he will win. Trust me, he won't make a fool of himself at the debates. For the most part, Trump is very calm, and to the point. When Trump talks to Bill Oreilly he gets loud. When Trump talks to a guy like Jake Tapper, he speaks calm and cool.

The only thing Trump has done wrong, is not clarifying that he was talking about illegal immigrants. The voters know what he meant. A lot of the general public (non voters) think he is racist against Mexicans. He should have been more clear. He will get better at being more clear in the future.

Right now is the toughest part of the battle for Trump. The media is totally to the left. Everything is racism, and sensitive and blah blah blah. He's beating the media down. He went from total joke, to serious contender in a week. He will be leading everyone when the new polls come out. And unlike Cain, he won't blow it.
