Trump launching Presidential run

[Preacher]

Cool...what's his stance on things?

Excellent. That will help the Democrats.

Come on, not again.

These are serious times.

.

Republicans don't care and certainly Donald Trump isn't feeling your pain.

 

[NoTeaPartyPleez]

Look at how much these libs FEAR Trump! All the attacks on his character prove it!

Change out "libs" with "cons" and "Trump" with "Hillary" and you might have a point.

He will provide comic relief during the dozens of 'debates' coming up. Maybe he can get an endorsement from Palin and complete the idiocy trifecta that is the GOP field of candidates.


Where's my man Li'l Ricky Santorum? Talk about good for a laugh...

I wish him well. LOL

Donald Trump couldn't even run a casino with the rigged tables. You're fired. (-:

Donald Trump is a multi millionaire with enormous name recognition.
What have you done lately?

I saw this about Ben Carson, but it may be apt.

A candidacy like Carson’s presents a new kind of problem to the establishment wing of the G.O.P., which, at least since 1980, has selected its presidential nominees with a routine efficiency that Democrats could only envy. The establishment candidate has usually been a current or former governor or senator, blandly Protestant, hailing from the moderate, big-business wing of the party (or at least friendly with it) and almost always a second-, third- or fourth-time national contender — someone who had waited “his turn.” These candidates would tack predictably to the right during the primaries to satisfy the evangelicals, deficit hawks, libertarian leaners and other inconvenient but vital constituents who made up the “base” of the party. In return, the base would, after a brief flirtation with some fantasy candidate like Steve Forbes or Pat Buchanan, “hold their noses” and deliver their votes come November. This bargain was always tenuous, of course, and when some of the furthest-right activists turned against George W. Bush, citing (among other apostasies) his expansion of Medicare’s prescription drug benefit, it began to fall apart. After Barack Obama defeated McCain in 2008, the party’s once dependable base started to reconsider the wisdom of holding their noses at all.
....
At the 2012 convention in Tampa [the gop party heads] did away with the mandatory proportional delegate awards that encouraged long-shot candidacies. And, in a noticeably targeted effort, they raised the threshold that candidates needed to meet to enter their names into nomination, just as Ron Paul’s supporters were working to reach it. When John A. Boehner gaveled the rules in on a voice vote — a vote that many listeners heard as a tie, if not an outright loss — the hall erupted and a line of Ron Paul supporters walked off the floor in protest, along with many Tea Party members.

At a party meeting last winter, Reince Priebus, who as party chairman is charged with maintaining the support of all his constituencies, did restore some proportional primary and caucus voting, but only in states that held voting within a shortened two-week window. And he also condensed the nominating schedule to four and a half months from six months, and, for the first time required candidates to participate in a shortened debate schedule, determined by the party, not by the whims of the networks.
....
“We don’t need a six-month slice-and-dice festival,” Priebus said when we spoke in mid-March. “While I can’t always control everyone’s mouth, I can control how long we can kill each other.”

Hmm, lets see. Alan Keys ran at some point. Herman Cain ran in the last election. Mitt ROmney is a Mormon, not a Protestant. CVirtually the same things also apply to Democrat, but more so. Hillary was gypped out of the nomination in 2008.

Let the Teapub Primaries begin!!!

 

[OKTexas]

I really don't see a problem with Trump checking things out, he doesn't have a chance of winning but he might force some of the others into discussions they might have otherwise avoided.

I will be awaiting a response from Mr. Bill.

Trump already ran for president, and he generated zero discussion aside from what a retard he is. The rest of the GOP field avoided him like the plague, and he failed miserably in the primaries. He's an idiot who stands a zero percent chance of ever being president.

 

[Rozman]

If Al Sharpton can run for President why does the left have a problem with Trump?

 

[Zoom-boing]

Oh for God's sake.

It made me laugh almost as much as...

Al Gore should run for president - Vox

I hope the Teapubs have a looong drawn-out Primary like last time

There are not enough words to describe how little I care.
