The only two likely things to take him out are either the endless gift giving rigged voting machines or him becoming sickly thin and him faltering out of the race (they poisoned him).
LMAO! What echo chamber did you step out from?

Trump has added an entire layer of interest to the upcoming debates. The GOP has no one else to offer but tired old hacks with a history of losing. America's biggest problem right now isn't terrorism. It's our own economy. We need a successful businessman, not another politician.

Go Trump!
Are you even aware of the countless times he has declared bankruptcy? There are many contractors, plumbers, electricians here in AC that went under all because Trump declared bankruptcy so he didn't have to pay them...meantime he gets to keep the yachts and planes....yeah, "go Trump", lol

Ok, yes Trump is rich. Yes he is successful. Yes he is a business man. Yes he is smart. But....the issue is one of character traits. He is USED to getting things done his way. He is a "my way or the highway" type of man. These are not the traits needed of a leader nor a politician (yes the Office of the President is a political position.) He will NOT be able to reach across the isle to work our differences, this is exactly the case and point of this news story.

Not endorsing Trump at all, but the last bunch of Presidents And Congress have those very same traits. With the tremendous difficulty in getting elected, it might very well be that those are the character traits that are required to run for office.

No. Thats a common republican talking point, because republicans love business. We need an economist, not a businessman. Businessmen know how to lean things and increase profits, they know how to get things done THEIR way. Those arent traits that the Country needs. Do you want a leader that commits the equivalent of mass layoffs, outsourcing work to other Nations, and shrinking budgets. Before you say yes....Consider this. Youre driving down the highway with your little children sleeping in the back seat. The bridge youre driving on collapses, you and your children are now dead. Why? Because some republicans believed the Mantra that government should be small and we should cut taxes.

Seems like a no-brainer. But for all of your business acumen, you seemed to have missed that point. You cannot bully your way into office. People won't vote for you, as you come across as a pompous budinski (No, not a relative of Monica Lewinski).

But while you are on a roll, why not go after BET and LOGO. The party doesn't state until you successfully rile the gays and the blacks, especially the gay blacks. Keep up the awesome job!
If Hispanic-Americans feel alienated by telling the truth about illegal immigration then there is something wrong with them. It isn't about them. They are just as obligated to respect our immigration laws just as everyone else is.

I don't know what you are implying about uncut grass, etc. If you are implying that Americans won't do landscaping and that we need illegal aliens to do it you are badly mistaken.

The powers that be didnt like him, so they used effective marketing (political satire) to make everyone laugh at him....even though he was right.....

Exactly. I dont get the hate from the middle class/ educated/ legal Hispanics. he clearly was referring to those who sneak over, pollute schools with kids who dont care to learn, juice off the system and commit crimes. But yet they all took it so personally.
