[Crabtownboy]

Trump is all bluster and no substance.

Trump is widely known and widely hated.

Trump stand no chance.

Trump will hurt the GOP's chances to win the White House.

Your off topic post is very irrational.

Your off topic post is very irrational.

As I talked about Trump I was certainly more on topic than your immature, troll reply.

Trump has no chance. He would be a disaster. Sure glad he has no chance.

Trump is all bluster and no substance.

Oh I admit he is full of bluster. He is quite boastful. However, you can't dismiss him as having no substance. He can back up much of what he says.

Trump is widely known and widely hated.

Lots of folks hate him and lots of others admire him for being a tough straight-shooter.

Trump stands no chance.

As a Republican candidate for President? I think you underestimate him.

If he wins the Republican primary, it is debatable if he will succeed against the Democratic candidate. I would say he stands more of a chance than you give him though.

Trump has many negatives and a lot of positives. I cringe at some things he has said. I do not like his vanity. On the other hand I admire his principles and spunk. He may be regarded as a clown, but he is very intelligent. He can't lightly be tossed away. He will shake up conventional thinking regading the political process.

Trump will hurt the GOP's chances to win the White House.

Do you mean if he gains the Republican nomination or what?

Your off topic post is very irrational.

There is no way that his post was off-topic. You can disagree with his points, but he is certainly discussing the OP.

Why do you consider his post irrational? It is simply a post with which you disagree.
Saying that his post "is very irrational" is puzzling --even illogical.

Is Trump the next Reagan? I think he could be.:flower:

 

[kyredneck]

He could prove his critics right and do something outrageous to convince us he's not serious. Something like picking Oprah for his running mate.

Trump just said that "Oprah would make a great Vice President. I'd love to have Oprah."

Oh my.....but at the very least he's consistent/persistent; and I have to wonder if he's not right about it being a winning ticket considering some of his past successes:

"....After his splashy announcement Tuesday that he's running for the Republican presidential nomination, billionaire businessman Donald Trump made another bold declaration: Oprah Winfrey would be a "great" running mate.

"I think Oprah would be great. I'd love to have Oprah," Trump told ABC's George Stephanopoulos. "I think we'd win easily, actually."
Donald Trump is running for president in 2016

Stephanopoulos asked Trump whether he'd consider asking Winfrey to join his campaign, given that Trump mentioned Winfrey as a possible running mate back in 1999.

Winfrey said in 1999 that she wasn't interested in the job, and it's likely she'd say the same thing this time around. When Winfrey endorsed President Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, it was her first ever political endorsement. She endorsed Mr. Obama in 2012 but declined to actively campaign for him as she had in the previous race...."

Is Trump the next Reagan? I think he could be.:flower:

No, he is not. If by that you mean he is of the same stamp. Reagan was rock-ribbed Conservative. Donald Trump has some liberal leanings in his value system. He certainly is fiscally conservative. He is a true-blue patriot. He really does love America. He wants to get rid of waste. He wants to restore America after the ruin that Obama has made of things. He has a clear vision that others have not seemed to articulate. Remember Bush #41 when he said he didn't have "a vision thing."

I know he can gather around him advisors who are both very intelligent and Trump will not put up with nonsense. He will make a bee-line and address problems head-on. He will get things done and delegate wisely. But one thing (among others) concerns me. He has to work with both parties. Can he do that? But I don't think he would trample on the Constitution as Obama has been doing. Trump will not make all those unwarranted executive decisions.

He doesn't have the humility of Reagan. Reagan was a man of singular merits. His likeness needs to be on a Mt. Rushmore-type of monument. Trump is his own man. He is not Reaganesque. He is rather Trumpesque --The Donald.

Hopefully BETTER like no illegals can stay and have anchor babies to leach off tax paying Americans.

I'll say it again….he's one of the most successful people ever. All people got is dire supposition as weapons against him…."he will be a disaster"….why specifically will he be a disaster ?

I wish he was serious. I think he'd make a great president.

Finally, a fair criticism. Great point.

 

[Salty]

Two reasons that would not happen.

1-He would get nothing done as he is a bully and that does not work in a democracy.
.

AGAIN - I ask :
Is Obama a bully?

Salty, compared to Trump he is a meek and mild fellow.

Is Trump the next Reagan? I think he could be.:flower:

No, not at all. He does not have the people skills that Reagan had. He would be a bully bull in a China closet.

 

[Salty]

So you do admit that Obama is a bully - and you are right - Trump is a meek and mild fellow

Well, let see:

1) trying to bully the SCOTUS
2) trying to bully Christinas over the homo$exual issue
3) bullies the police (remember "act stupidly")
4) bullies the Tea Party (tax exemption)
5) bullies Veterans (Marine in Mexician jail)

Now, which ones have I forgotten

He stands no chance. But will aid in more quickly sinking the GOP ship.

The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems. [Applause] Thank you. It’s true, and these are the best and the finest. When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

The GOP should be embarrassed that he is a candidate.

There goes the Hispanic vote. They were never getting the Black vote. And now everybody else continues to see the type of people the GOP is offering.

All he needs to do is win and draft Lindsey " don't vote for me if you don't want to go to war" Graham as his Veep.

He stands no chance. But will aid in more quickly sinking the GOP ship.

He has the most negative rating of any GOP candidate. If he doesn't get the nomination yet still decides to run, he would really screw up the Republican chances. Think 1992 and Ross Perot.

 

[Earth Wind and Fire]

I'll say it again….he's one of the most successful people ever. All people got is dire supposition as weapons against him…."he will be a disaster"….why specifically will he be a disaster ?

I wish he was serious. I think he'd make a great president.

I know that his construction business, that his sub contractors were robbing him blind and he never took any steps to halt it....he was just clueless to the whole thing....makes me wonder if he has the attention to detail necessary to run this country....or the brains.

I think this is just another one of his publicity stunts because Trump is a long time friend of the Clintons. But I think this is actually refreshing because Donald Trump is one of a kind, he's "different". The problem is, he's also different in some negative ways, multiple divorces, multiple adultery, multiple bankruptcies, etc. Doubt he'd ever go third party but he does share Perot's (deserved, IMO) disdain for the Bush family.

Let's see ... were the dems embarrassed with obama? :tongue3:
