the $9billion claim comes from trump. forbes estimates it at $4billion ( still impressive but not amazing considering the inheritance he started with ). but it's still an unknown what trump's true net worth is.

i believe he has till next thursday to file his financial disclosure or seek an extension. my guess is he will file for an extension, participate in the first debate, then drop out before the second deadline to release his financials.

Trump appeals to the low info, ignorant voter who likes blaming illegals for their place in life.

The problem is while he looks high the average GOP voter won't vote for him or would stay home if he was in the general election.

He also makes the GOP look angry, foolish and extremely childish.

trump says what a lot of people are thinking but after the boy cried wolf many times i believe he cheapens the election. It seems as if he's only self promoting and not serious, reminds me of wwf..

Trump is weeding out the democrats in the line up of Republican candidates. Those that don't agree with Trump are actually the new democrats of today. Those who agree with Trump are the REAL Republicans, and of course the liberal crowd are the socialists which goes under the banner of the democratic party today.

Why Are Conservative Pundits Attacking Donald Trump
Because they don't think an Arnold Schwazenegger or Jesse the Body Ventura situation can work nationwide and win enough electoral college votes, thus he is in the way, wasting time and money. And even if Trump could win states like California and Minnesota were won they fear that he will prove not to be a fundamentalist conservative just as the two governors. However if the Republicans hold on to congress they won't need a president to play goal keeper as Gov Schwazenegger did early in his term.

After Perry spoke out against him last night, I filed him under RINO along with Bush and Christie.

i've got true respect for a real carnival huckster ( i'm thinking people like pt barnum and ron popeil ). trump never struck me as having that ability. he simply repeats that whatever product he's endorsing as "the greatest" ( without any substance to back up the claim ) and if it fails he simply ignores that it existed or in many endorsement deals deny that he had any say in a product or property that bared his name .

The Republican party is divided.. Bush , Christie and others are left in the slot of democrats.. the pundits are now siding with Bush thinking he will be the next presidential hopeful.. to the American people who support Bush, most just know his name. We have stupid on both sides of the aisle.. at least the REAL Republicans are sticking with Trump.

Hillary is the best the democrats can do.. now that is the real joke!!!

Trump appeals to those who want the facts, voters who want a change, voters who want someone not afraid to stand up to others, voters that aren't cuddled up in there little world of PC. These are the reasons why everyone is afraid of him...hes laying all the cards out on the table and doesn't care what people think. He's just manning up where everyone else has failed.
