toldailytopic: Donald Trump as a presidential candidate, thoughts?


I can't take him seriously and I would never vote for him.

I question whether or not even he's taking his presidential bid seriously.

It's kinda sad that he is doing so well in the Republican Party.

Did you read the part that said he was pro-abortion? That ought to be enough right there.

And the financing of the Dems? Think about it. I think someone's trying to play us.

Just forget I said anything, except maybe until you see the GOP field split beyond repair and Obama sailing into a second term.

DONALD CHUMP AND HIS SPIN

See, your first mistake was posting a link from Facebook instead of Fox News. :eek:

It's sad to me that Trump might risk splitting the GOP but in reality I don't think he'll cause that much trouble. I think Berean is right. Trump might make some waves now but later on the more serious candidates will rise.

I hope he's right. I don't think the field is that strong to begin with.

I wish Paul Ryan would run.

"Frankly if I ran as an Independent and didn’t win, I would hurt the Republicans and that disturbs me.”

Trump

Consider that quote is from the very same interview where Trump says that if he doesn't get the GOP nomination, he will probably run as independent.

If you put it all together, he's saying "if I don't get the GOP nomination, it will hurt the republican party, because I will 'probably' run as an independent." His "and that disturbs me," is essentially an add-on so he can remain aligned with the GOP until he decides otherwise, rather than standing against them (as he wants that support). It's a sneaky blackmail statement towards the GOP and it's not very veiled. He's taking your precious party on a [PR] ride, Chrysostom.

Whether I vote for Trump or not depend on who else we get for the Republican nomination. Presently I am leaning toward Keyes.

Trump is a joke. I can't believe people are giving him serious consideration. He's exactly what Obama wants to come from the Republican Party as a "contender". What an epic win that would be for Obama.

I think that the Republicans can do better than some washed-up, bankrupt-prone, combed-over, egomaniacal/narcissistic, media-whore. But I could be wrong. Maybe that is all the Republicans can pull together for a presidential nomination.
