I like trump because he is tearing the other stooges a new one. I can't wait for the debates. He is going to tear them up. Funny thing is that the other candidates seem like they are afraid of him. If he goes rogue he will tear the Republican Party up...
Trump is playing the Ross Perot card. He will switch to run as a independent and he will split the conservative vote giving the democrat the White House. Trump has no intentions of being President ... he is just making sure a Republican does not win. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

That is why a lot of people say he is not really a conservative Republican.
I think he is a great businessman. No more, no less. His attitude, and every move will ensure that his family business stays on top. He is my idol.

He's not really even that great of a businessman. It's true he's made a lot of money (and had 3 bankruptcies as well, let us not forget) but keep in mind that he inherited a big chunk of change (his father was a slumlord) so he had a lot of money to start with. On the face of it the money he's made makes it appear he's a financial genius - until you realize that had he taken that money and just blindly invested it in a S&P 500 index fund, he'd be worth even more than he is today (and that's using no financial skill or business smarts AT ALL - just putting the money on autopilot and letting it just grow).

Well, I won't say he is the greatest, but in my life time, he is one of the best because he masters one thing: publicity.
That is all he needs. He knows people would attack him because he disrespected a war hero (Mccain) Does the remark hurt him? Don't think so. He knows people are going to attack him for buying politicians? He admits it himself. LOL Donald Trump gave Lindsey Graham's cell number away and destroyed him! lol
He knows how to work the media. He knows that he cannot satisfy everybody. He knows what he is doing. He is NOT going away.
By the way, Disney was once just a struggling filmmaker with too many bills. Dude survived Bankruptcy maybe several times.

He IS a master of that - which is why he is where he is.
But a President needs to be more than just "publicity".
He doesn't have a chance of becoming President - or even of taking the GOP nomination.
He'll self-destruct at some point because he doesn't engage his brain before he opens his mouth. At some point he'll go to far and lose the GOP lead. He'll then run as an independent.

I said this on another thread and it's worth repeating here. Trump is a multi billionaire with ownership in over 400 businesses and has created thousands of jobs over the years. Only four of his business filed Chapter 11. That's an impressive record by any standard.

I agree, I said I support him for staying in. I never said he would be the president.
Republican party should thank Trump for giving them a wake up call. Matter of fact, I believe it is going to be Clinton vs Bush all over again. You should go to the election forum. Many interesting posts there.
