Well. Everyone thought Ronald Reagan was a lightweight too and look what happened. So, I say, don't rule him out. Not that I want him, mind you.

Good one! His verbal diarrhea is Trump's BIGGEST flaw that will get him in the way of winning the presidency.

Well Electable and likable are two different things.

I like Rand Paul, but he might not be electable. I like Ron Paul, he was too "radical" according to some.

Win or lose, Americans should thank Mr. Trump for being a true patriot. It doesn't matter he wants to win or not, he is talking about what most people in this country REALLY care about.

Right, he has poor impulse control. This might be his biggest flaw.

In all fairness, Trump is no Reagan.

Yes,but he is a grade A hypocrite. He hires illegals,yet rails against them. I could go on and on. We have many great candidates,and he is sucking all the oxygen out of the room.

He is the loudest one and he sets the bar way too high. So I am thinking he won't mind being held accountable. LOL. He makes a lot of promises, and he has to get something done. Don't you think? Since illegal immigrants is his strongest selling point, I DO believe he will be able to secure the border. It really is not that hard to do.

My brother wants a career in politics in the future, and he is a successful business man. My brother filed bankruptcy once, but he is still super successful. No one is perfect.

The only real reason to support Trump is the establishment shakeup he's committing to the Republican Party. And if by some miracle he won he wouldn't require the level of funding the other candidates do.

Did you know he was a Democrat from 01-09?

The past seven years would suggest that such supporters are the perfect reverse barometer of competence and an effective POTUS.
That seems to be a good reason to put a man to be the president of the most powerful country in the world.

Yes,

It doesn't matter what he has done, the ones who support him are willing to let the past go because he is appealing to a lot of people.

It's amusing how far right conservative rail against the Hope and Change populism but have been drooling over the right wing version.

So what if he used to be a Democrat? Reagan was one for decades, voted for and admired FDR, and was even a Hollywood guy - a typical Tea Party guy would have heart attack if a new politician with such a past wanted to join them!
