They simply DON'T LIKE EITHER GUY ENOUGH FOR THEM TO GET ELECTED.

Trump comes off as an arrogant blowhard.

Ron Paul comes off as crotchety old man. There is nothing about him or his rhetoric that is hopeful, paints an optimistic vision for the future, or inspiring. He's a policy wonk that is charismatically deprived.

Well it was nice while it lasted.

If America was truly meant to last then it will last.

What is going on right now is national debate about the future of America and what it will look like and what kinds of values it will have.

The American people are directly responsible for the decline of this country. No President is going to turn this country around. Motivated active people that get involved a community and national level will.

I agree!

Our current POTUS is extremely inept and in way over his head. His grass roots, community organizer, experience means nothing. Add to that the fact he is also a narcissist, has surrounded himself with corrupt people, and you can't believe a word that comes out of his mouth.......Donald Trump looks pretty good!

If more people declare they are a Republican candidate for President it will force the Democrats to spend more. Right now they are chomping at the bit for Republicans to "declare." I say 50 people should "declare" and bleep the major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) that can't handle more than two candidates per party. We don't need them anymore, anyway, to tell us who we should vote for.

I, for one, am hoping and praying that Donald Trump runs for President (with Sarah Palin as his VP) because I think that a lot of people want answers from all of the real estate swindles and bogus business scams that he has been involved in over the years.....

Did you say "egomaniac?"

You do not participate in the construction industry in NYC and AC without doing business with the mafia.

Big difference between Bush II (who inherited his wealth and power) and guys like Trump, Gates, Perot, etc... that did it on their own. You may not like then but you have to respect their accomplishments.

Now I don't know if I'd vote for Trump as he's a bit of a loose cannon but I have more respect for him than I do for someone who was born into power (Bush) or someone like Obama that comes from liberal academia and has little practical life experience.

Well, not exactly, his dad was not on welfare, no question, he is successful despite going into bankrupcy all too often, now, he is not stupid, he is not running because he has no chance against Barrack...

Paul speaks as though he can make things happen without the Constitutional checks and balances. What a loser. No wonder he has consistently been rejected.

Shame on you Pubs for not being able to do better.

Can you enlighten us on this "successful" part, I think I missed that.

Default Donald Trump May Make The Run.......

He was on the Today Show stating he may run for President. He was asked certain questions about the US and IMHO, answered them pretty well.

Thoughts?
