Trump talks to appeal to the everyday people.. but he can class his act up when he wants to sound presidential.. Trump is having fun and I was having fun as he hugged the American flag , giving a thumbs up.. he is getting more likable to me.. kind of funny too. I had to laugh with him ,, not at him..
He brought the house down last night. That was a show you could sell tickets for $100. Seinfeld can’t hold handle to Trump.

Trump is a disaster. He can't even keep his cool anymore with the press. He was screaming like a madman "excuse me, excuse me!!!!!" during his NH cult session.

The only people that will support him til the end are the hate mongers he attracts, like the passionate Boston guys that assaulted and urinated a homeless man.

I feel like Trump's down fall will be if he says something too un pc. I was very surprised that the Republican party didn't crucify Trump more for his comments about John Mccain. I thought for sure he was finished, but instead a lot of people actually defended Trump's comments and try to down play Mccain's suffering. One of my European friends mentioned how shocked she was that Trump was still leading in the polls after that comment considering how idolized the military is in the USA. She does't come from a militaristic country, but a politician publicly insulting a war veteran no matter how much of a jerk they are, is certain to destroy that particular politician's career.

Trump is like a runaway train. He cannot be stopped.

I loved it...was so funny.. Trump has many sides to him.. Trump doesn't want to come across as a boring typical politician.. he makes politics come alive and the stuffed shirts like O'reilly tonight had to jab Trump..

O'reilly's ego got the best of him tonight.. saying I am right on Anchor Babies.. Trump is wrong.. two big egos!! I couldn't write a better book in my imagination to what is going on in politics today.. Trump is shaking it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump's followers are hate mongers. When you are so full of hate you usually can't think straight. As long as he keeps promoting his hateful agenda, his followers will be with him, even if some of the things he says don't agree with your values.(think abortion, military, subsidized healthcare, gay marriage) He learned from the best, Hitler.

If you hear his speeches he never offers any concrete solutions. He just badmouths everybody and their mothers and then he says "I'm gonna fix that" and most of the time he will keep his plans secret.

"you gotta trust me, (because) I'm rich and I know how to fix things" is how he answers most questions.

Still watching him. And everybody else as well. Will never defend what he says. He's a billionaire running for the most important office in the world. If he can't defend his own words and actions then I don't want him as president. Besides, he doesn't need a scmuck like me defending anything he says or does.

I think I've got Trump the man figured out. My big question in the future will be who he decides to surround himself with. Which financial advisors, policy advisors, military advisors, social policy advisors will be working with him? Those decisions will be important to me going forward. A leader doesn't need to know everything. But they need to have the ability to pick advisors wisely, need to have the ability to listen to those advisors, and need to be able to humbly absorb that advice before making decisions. Can he do all of that? I don't know yet.

He's been very careful not to mention any names yet. It keeps the fantasy alive, almighty Donald Trump. "I will pick the best like I always do"

I don't think he will mention any names ever. Maybe a vice president pick if he gets that far. It will be very interesting to see who he picks. My guess is that he won't choose anyone from his party. Maybe another businessman that can also brag that he will fix the country because he knows how to make money. Or maybe some Anti-Illegal immigration leader like Jan Brewer?

I beg to differ. His downfall will be if he says something too pc. But I am not concerned. After Chris Cuomo interview he was saying that Trumps has moderated and not as bombastic as before. That concerned me. Minutes later at the NH rally he was as outrageous as ever.
