what to do about Trump?!

[Leather1969]

Trump is an interesting phenomenon. He clearly knows how to handle publicity. He has very deep pockets should he choose to expend his resources.

What if the party chieftains continue to seek Trump's head on a platter and the rank and file revolt?

We may very well see Dems believing they can afford the risk of supporting Bernie.

What then?

God, I hope they run bernie...He is the only one that cares for the little guy and isn't owned by the super rich.

I think Trump is more populist than Hillary. He would make a good third party candidate.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

What to do about Trump?

Nothing.

He's doing it all himself.

He's like $arah Palin on speed.

Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Sanders is a freaking loon, you'll do yourself better by remembering robbinhood is fiction and not a political strategy.

How about if Trump and Hillary BOTH get pissed off and run independently? A 4-way race.

It is really hard to say. Can the Dems inflict enough damage to stop him? I don't know. There has been a lot of talk about being a plant, but I don't think he'd waste millions on a plan like that when he can just buy their affection. We'll see how it goes.

The Little Guy? ...You mean the Union worker who is making $28 an hour and getting 12-weeks of paid leave every year? Is THAT the "Little Guy" you're talking about?

Funny, now that we KNOW that the Republican leadership is IDENTICAL to the DemocRAT leadership the "Teflon Trump" has all the money and gathering so much support so that he can actually make THIS difference...

If he is a plant he wouldnt be using his own money.

Bernie is something... It's like he is saying, yeah... I want everyone to make $150k a year but I am going to tax you 90% when you do.... and the Libtards eat it up! Yeah, he's going to stick to to the rich and we're going to all have everything! Yay US! ...duh...

 

[Vigilante]

Even the FEW DemocRATS with functioning brains realizes that we've been PLAYED for decades... The Fucking stupid Republican Leadership let the cat out of the bag after taking the Senate in 2014, and DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE COMMIE IN THE WHITE HOUSE WANTED....did the Republicans produce any bills of sustenance? If so PLEASE LIST THEM....Someone....anyone?

Leather,methinks Trump has both parties politicians in he pocket,if the Rep's dump him and he goes independent....he will Gift the Dems.,the Presidency,just sayin, steve

I suspect that Trump's true net worth is far lower than the $9B he claims. An intrepid investigative reporter could do the country a big favor by outing him. The resulting Ego Explosion would be horrifically entertaining.

Again... not so sure about that. I can envision a scenario where Trump runs 3rd party and wins in a three-way with Hillary coming in second and the GOP a disappointing third. It would spell the end of the Republican party and we'd get to watch history happen. A lot of people may disagree with me on that... Trump has the potential to pull Democrat votes like no one else in the Republican camp. He also has potential to pull some votes from people who ordinarily might not ever vote. No reason to believe he wouldn't do well among independents who have no party-loyal affiliation.

You are listening to the political pundits who are still lamenting over when Trump will drop out of the race... As he continues to surge upward in the polls with a commanding LEAD. The establishment elite, democrat and republican, want this man nowhere NEAR the beltway. They are going to tell you every day that he cannot win, that if he runs 3rd party it would be a disaster, that if the GOP nominates him, Hillary wins by a landslide... anything they can say to get someone who supports Trump to second-guess themselves.

I think.... This is why Trump is so intentionally being bombastic. He knows that his supporters realize the way you go after Radical Liberal Socialists is to pop them in their stupid kisser when they insist on personal attacks instead of discussing the issues. A growing number of people are seeing that Trump can handle these clowns... doesn't matter what he says. They want to blow it up into a media firestorm? Fine with him, he thrives on it! More TV time to get his points across to the American people.

I suspect that Trump's true net worth is far lower than the $9B he claims.

He released a financial statement in June. It reports his net worth at somewhere near $10 billion. He had claimed "somewhere between $8~9 billion" and liberals speculated it was probably closer to $2 billion. The financial statement is not forged or fraudulent, it says what he is worth... close to $10 bil.

Forbes lists him as the 123rd richest person in America.

It's not the money - it's his ego. He has a conniption fit when anyone questions his wealth.
