While I still think Trump is a jerk and a loose cannon, I do agree with some of what he says. I was just taken to task for calling a person "Oriental" when I guess the new term is "Asian" ! Aren't there Oriental rugs and the Orient Express ???
Talking about putting up a wall or having a secret plan to defeat ISIS is not intelligent discourse but it is obvioulsy appealing to some.
Everyone is tired of the money involved in politics and career politicians, his self funded campaign coupled with his insults to entrenched candidates resonates with voters, but this will eventually play out. In the mean time his entertainement value is priceless but at the same time prohibits intellent discussion of important issues at hand.
Let me know when Hillary does half as many interviews as trump so we can hear her message on important issues.
That could work to his advantage. Obama didn't have a strong political background so...
Your argument about Trump's success is weak. He's a self made multi billionaire. If it were so easy to become rich selling NYC real estate, why isn't everyone a billionaire?
it'll be interesting to see how this unfolds.
Trump inherited his wealth, he is the last thing from self made.
The reason the vast majority of people in NYC are not billionaires from real estate development is because they do not start off with $100 Million dollars to begin the company with. Trump had an enormous amount of wealth bestowed on him by his father in the 1970s. It is much easier to turn $100M into $1B than to start with nothing and build an empire.
Trump did nothing extraordinary, if you want to see a self made billionaire, look to our former mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Trump is like "professional" wrestling. Everyone knows it's phony baloney but it's a pretty good show.
Since when is the big problems of this country -phony baloney.. at least Trump is willing to tackle the problems unlike the wimps we have in both parties. The dems and rinos grow the problem, ignore the problem and collect a paycheck doing it.

Perhaps you don't recall that he lost it all at one point and had to start again from scratch. Sure his name was helpful, but there have been fortunes lost before where the person disappeared into history as a has been.
40 million immigrants in the US and the Republican Party is well on the way to losing them and their progeny for decades. That does not sound politically correct, I would agree.
