Trump will run as an Independent

[Sallow]

He's not running.

He's been down this road before..and generally gives up.

But even if he does..so what.

That isn't what he said Sallow; he said he would run in any event. If he couldn't get the nomination, then he would run as an independent.

His background as a developer/builder means he has a bent to bluffing, and that may be all it's about; bluffing to see what it will get him.

Builders, developers, men of action understand that every day they have to go out and bluff the world, and that's inate in his personality IMO

I live in NYC..and am well acquainted with this flim-flam man.

It's very likely this will all evaporate next month. And he'll claim what he always claims, that his privacy was getting violated and his family comes first..

Or some sort of nonsense like that.

But if he runs..then what? It's not going to make much difference. Ross Perot..didn't make much difference. Sure he peeled away some votes..but that was mainly from people who either weren't going to vote anyway..or might have went either way.

 

[Sallow]

Let's say he does run as an Independent. He will be taking time and notice away from serious candidates. But let's look further... he has the money to buy the best advisors and camp[aign specialists money can buy if they want to go with Trump. And if Trump listens to his advisors and behaves as they tell him, perhaps he would be an apt candidate.

And about the birther issue...I do believe there are more Americans who wonder about it that would rather push it aside. Not sure if they want to open the can of worms, but they wonder.

I personally would say, open the can of worms and I don't think Trump could follow the advice of any advisor. He's been his own man for far too long to listen to others.

This right there is even more proof that that man isn't Presidential material.

A good leader listens and takes advise.

Not only dictates and tell's others what to do.

Trump's a poor businessman and would probably make a lousy politician. He doesn't shake people's hands. Can you imagine that?

It's a cinch he won't get the Republican nomination.

Hmmmm....I wonder how bad the GOP will be hurt by losing their "birther" base?

It will cripple them in the POTUS run and cause the House and senate to suffer losses also. All that waffling on Obama's birth status will split em and bite em squarely on the ass. It was a huge mistake not coming out early and denouncing the birthers.

What a Circus!

Of course Trump is going to run as an Independent. He's too much in love with himself to believe that the people aren't in love with him too. He'll run as an indy, and when he loses he'll claim that it's because of fraudulent voters from Kenya casting ballots. He'll take the issue to the Supreme Court, asking for a recount, and when they turn him down he'll sue the court as being non legitimate because he refuses to acknowledge that their confirmation hearings were valid.

Sallow I think you're wrong. Perot determined the election of Clinton in 92; without going into the electoral college: Clinton/Gore got 44,909,806; Bush/Quayle got 39,104,550; Perot/Stockdale got 19,743,821 - 19% of the vote cast and almost half Bush/Quayle.

Unfortunately, not "going into the electoral college" is pointless, because that's exactly how the President is elected. Perot may have had whatever portion of the overall popular vote, but the only way it would be said that him being in the race benefited Clinton would be for Perot to have pulled enough popular vote within select states such as to cause those electoral votes to go to Clinton instead of Bush. I don't see that to be the case.

Any fool who would willingly support and vote for the self promoting asshat should have their voter registration card forcibly removed and denied voting rights for life. This is all a stunt to get his name in the media. For Trump, there is no such thing as bad publicity.

this is a good example of obama's metropolis, first deny people vote, then what books they may read, then air. you represent your side well.
suit up because everything i've read here bad about trump describes the lazy loser you've offered up, to a tee. suit up cause we're going to have a lot of fun with y'all this next government revamping season. go live in europe. we will have a huge field of bright shining possibilities, you're stuck with the mimbo. unless hillary runs, you'll be defending a proven failure soon to be loser. ex president spendthrift i hope

You live in NYC....and you do not see any similarity between the "buzz" when Bloomberg started to feel things out and the "buzz" with Trump?

And as for the "flim flam" comment.....seems to me he knows what he is doing as it pertains to real estate. Sure, you can run with that chapter 11 stuff and all of the other rhetoric...but the bottom line...he is doing quite well for himself....

Seems to me he knows how to play the game.....and to be quite frank....after watching how Axelrod was successful playing the game on behalf of Obama, I am not so sure you should be so quick to discount Trump.

The American electorate is easily fooled....

So one person making a stupid extremist comment represents the entire "side"? This is the sad lack of quality of the political discourse of today's USA.

I think you're right (Sallow too) - Kudos!

Are you fucking retarded? Seriously? I represent my side well? Defending a proven failure soon to be loser ex president? How in the holy fuck did you ever get I was a liberal out of my comment? I'm a conservative libertarian. I was being facetious moron. I'm with Neal Boortz on this. If we want to lose it all for a generation, run Trump or Palin. We'll get creamed. Maybe I wasn't being facetious. Anyone who would be stoopid enough to vote for the walking, talking asshole known as Trump is too stoopid to be allowed to vote.
