My BS radar is telling me he's not as wealthy as he says he is. That radar is telling me he has no intention of delivering any of the things he's promised.

Now, he is whining that the judge who's handling his Trump University case won't be fair to him because he's building a wall and the judge is Mexican. Really? He is so special that he requires to choose his own judge? If he's found guilty of fraud, it's the judges fault? What a cry baby.

If there is something I despise in this world are people who blame others for their problems or their actions: "I got drunk because he/she/it left me", "I do heroin because I can't deal with my job/family/situation", or Palestinians blaming their problems on Israel, etc.

I got tired of making excuses or "adjustments" for Trump.
Trump is raising money for the Senate and house to raise money to keep their seats. If they don't get elected Trump will never get anything passed in congress. Do you expect Trump to fund all other candidates? He is not bought. Trump is raising the money for the GOP FOR them to give it to all other Republic candidates running.

We have such short term memories. Do you any of you recall a fiery lady who so enthralled the republican party with her sage wisdom, confidence, and ability to speak so well in a republican primary? She was passionate and energized the base, posed to carve a heralded political path for herself. During the convention, it was her intelligence and charm that had those conservatives pumped to take on the democratic candidate. Yes, Mrs. Palin was touted as being one of the great, conservative examples of our time. This was short lived.

When the general election turned to the primary, we watched this maverick become a caricature of a candidate (lipstick on a pig). She couldn't answer the most simple questions (gotcha questions, like what newspapers do you read?). She used her gift of articulation to expound upon her foreign policy experience as being in close to geographical proximity to Russia (not quite as impressive as a Mrs. Universe judge). She was a champion of abstinence (even though she couldn't impart that to her daughter). In short, the scrutiny of the general process highlighted her numerous shortcomings, and lack of intellectual ability.

Trump hasn't even started this process. He hasn't been required to deliver cogent answers or expound on policy; however, he still finds himself in a quagmire of reversal of opinions and reduction of his personal policy to mere suggestions for negotiation. Republican primaries are an odd production; however, when the dust settles, we will find Mr. Trump back with his other intellectual powerhouse predecessor--on some B-rated reality television show.

I know your position. I also remember how all of you, including Faux News, was convinced Romney was going to win in a landslide against Obama. As I wrote, short term memories.

Good luck!

Obama was touted to be a true intellectual and a centrist. What we got was a stammering idiot and a leftist toady who groveled to the big moneyed interests. Duhbya was supposed to be a conservative, he sold out as well to the same big moneyed interests.
You don't know who the person is until they're in office. But they never EVER surprise you for the better.

Talking Is Trump starting to Blow it? Becoming too overbearing, popping off TOO MUCH. I THINK SO.

We have 5 months of Drumpf tantrums ahead of us.


It'll be very entertaining and it puts Hill in the White House.

Trump really looks like he is unhinged, especially with his comments about the "Mexican" judge.


These congressmen that support him will pay a price.

Could not agree more. Guessing Trump will be lucky to get at most 20% of the Latino vote, especially if he continues his raging, racist rants against Judge Curiel. Seriously though, it turns off most people. Even Paul Ryan wishes Trump would stop the rants against the judge.

I believe Trump has good reason to be Dubious of that Judge, who is of Mexican heritage ...i.e., decent.

Blood Is Thicker than water.

But, the Vile, vicious Media, etc. are beating this so insanely, Not sure Trump can Survive, politically, as the GOP Nominee...OR win the Presidency?!

Really.....I was scratching my head over that, too. Wasn't the initial prediction that Trump was losing popularity - back in August of 2015? Trump derangement syndrome at its finest.
