All the work the Republican Party has gone to to prove they are not a fringe
party has gone out the window. Trump is an idiot and most of the people
know it. His big mouth preaching he is going to make America Great again
is a slogan made by Mussolini when he said he would make Italy Great again.
The term is used to announce muscle flexing and that leads to war.
Its like saying I will use your children and grand children as cannon fodder to
make myself look great.
He is looking more like a Narcissist every day.
I am beginning to think the Republicans are the party of ignorance when they
used to stand for sound fiscal policy. Now they want to oppose everything
and are marginalizing themselves. This will put Hillery in the White House.

You've been proven wrong over and over. You are hardly one to speak about US politics.

I would sure like a small portion of that idiots wallet .
A fiscal genius like yourself can probably match Trump $ for $ .


Hey isn't Tower Ranch one of your golf courses ?

That is all they have, ridiculous insults. Trump is stupid... Trump is an idiot.

His net worth is up to what now... $4 Billion?

Trump's support will collapse. The political parlance now is so corrupted by with political correctness.. that anyone who dares to speak in plain language, giving voice to opinions that are common in coffee shops.. or internet forums.. is a breath of fresh air in political atmosphere that reeks of conventional phrases.. and an unwillingness to speak on 'out of bounds' topics.. or question accepted truths.

Trump's problem is he's good at the counter punch.. and pushing people's buttons.. but he's got absolutely no coherent, integrated political platform. All he does is react to emotional, hot topics.. expressing anger and outrage.. but never a real solution. That's the definition of a demagogue.

he is demanding so much attention from the media, as they are totally for the story, the worse it is
the better they like it, so they aren't paying any attention to the other candidates, they can't
get a word in edgewise, trump has the floor and he isn't about to give it up, he loves the
attemtion, and will continue to say brash things to keep them looking at him.

it will be interesting to see him in a debate with his own people, I wouldn't
worry about Hillary Clinton, she can handle herself, and with her he might
meet his match.

he knows what he is doing, and sure, lots of people love the acting, rudeness, bluntness, and they will
do the same as the media, keep their attention towards him, and he will throw out those remarks
very timely, just as the last one is fading, out will come a new one.

its too bad the head of a country isn't the right people, it never is, and never will be, the people
who are best prepared to do such a job, will never act like him, they won't lie, but unfortunately
we have never, and will never see one at the helm.

maybe carter was the closest we will get to that type of person, but again he
pissed off the real politicians and wasn't colorful enough for the people,
so out he went.

Meh, its just his turn. Remember the 2011 primaries? Every candidate no matter how crazy got their few weeks in the lead.

Carter was awful. He pissed off the whole country which is why he got so thoroughly bounced. Weakest President ever.

Trump isn't going anywhere, his timing is way out of whack! :) Just think of how many people will be thoroughly sick of him by election day.

What does money prove? A couple of possibilities..............you have rich ancestors, you've been screwing people, you made some lucky investments!



Until Jeb or Scott Walker gets the nomination. :)
You still need a modicum of smarts to screw people ,and positive investments made over and over trends more to smarts than luck.
So yah I really don't think idiot fits .
Boorish pig maybe . Idiot never .

we'll have to agree to disagree
carter was that intelligent, quiet man, who worked hard, wasn't interested in
acting or entertaining anyone, wouldn't play the political fake games with the
politicians, and the people got bored with him, cause he wasn't flamboyant.

he wasn't weak at all, just not the regular loud spouting arm waving, lieing,
usual politician.

and to this day from the time he left the white house he has been helping those
who need it all over the world, worked hard right along with everyone else
and didn't ask for any attention on him at all. I have lots of respect for him.

A lot of wise investing boils down to common sense. One young millionaire with little special education was on the news a decade or so ago. He just invested his money in stuff people use every day even in times of recession- tooth paste and soap were two things he mentioned. You know full well that stuff is going to sell, and pay dividends! Need smarts to screw people? How about a propensity for lying with a straight face?

Trump: Hispanics Love Me!



LAREDO, Texas (AP) — Donald Trump paid a visit to the Mexican border Thursday, predicting Hispanics would love him as president despite roiling the Republican race by branding Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals. His comments have sparked a feud with exasperated Republican rivals who find the billionaire's words worrisome as they court the surging bloc of Latino voters.

Trump's in-and-out border visit came as the businessman and reality TV host has dominated attention in the Republican presidential race and seen his ratings roar, though he remains a longshot candidate for the White House. He has thrust himself into America's heated immigration debate, one that has put Republicans in a bind as they try to woo Hispanics, the biggest U.S. minority and one that has voted overwhelmingly Democratic in recent presidential elections.

"There's great danger with the illegals," Trump told reporters, referring to the millions of Americans living in the U.S. illegally, many of them Hispanic. But he claimed a "great relationship" with Hispanics, even as Latino leaders have come at him with blistering criticism for his painting Mexican immigrants as criminals.

"I'll take jobs back from China, I'll take jobs back from Japan," Trump said. "The Hispanics are going to get those jobs, and they're going to love Trump."

Hispanics love me, Trump declares at Mexican border

I like that he is taking on the usual blowhards in the Republican party. Like Lindsey Graham.
