  Trump is an actor. He will be a third party spoiler for the GOP no matter who gets the nom.He loves attention and is not really conservative. Art of the Deal. Knows how to work the room!

  I could not vote for Donald Trump. He just seems so full of himself. In my mind, the problem with Big Business People being in the White House is that they make decisions that leave out the “human factor”. It all about Money and Money only. We need someone that keeps “people” in mind. Not just what is good for business regardless of how it affects “the people”. There has to be a good balance or both! Republicans want to privatize SS and that scares me to death. Especially when the regulations have been removed from the Financial Industry. If GWB had privatized SS during his administration like he wanted to, where would retirees be at this point? Some people are never able to have their own 401K and depend on SS as their only income. It is just plain scary. People can say that these people “made poor choices” but the bottom line is :There are not enough good paying jobs for everybody” so there will always be those that CAN’T save for the future at all because they are just getting by on their low wages.

  I urge everyone to read Donald Trumps new book “Time To Get Tough” … I kept saying to my self I didn’t know that …. And, he completely covers all the bases with the USA problems AND SOLUTIONS AND ACTIONS.

  Perhaps people should vote for who they’re going to vote for and not simply follow somebody elses vote. Think for yourselves people. Trump relishes in your stupidity.

  I’ll betcha its Romney – nobody has been a harsher critic of Iran, the Middle East and China than Romney and standing for everything Obama is against in restoring this country to its capitalist principles from being a venture Socialist government, which have been critical issues to Trump.

    He is involved in a conspiracy with Obama.

    1. Trump was one of Obama’s biggest campaign supporters.
    2. Trump supports single payer.
    3. Trump’s birth certificate ploy did nothing but taint all Republicans as so called birthers.
    4. Several weeks ago Trump said that he may run as an independent, if the wrong Republican candidate was not nominated.
    5. Just a couple weeks ago Trump declared himself an independent.

    I’ve said since Trump’s birther ploy that his intent was to split the Republican vote by running as an independent, and thus handing Obama a reelection.

  Classical liberalism is the philosophy committed to the ideal of limited government, constitutionalism, rule of law, due process, and liberty of individuals including freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and free markets.

  Most GOP’ers are classical liberal/confederate thinking southern democrats not a Republicans.

  The GOP was assimilated by the South after the success of the southern strategy, transforming the party beliefs into the classical liberalism of the South.

  Trump wants to return to the policy of Lincoln & Dump the Clasical Liberal policies.

  Here is what Trump wants http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_School_(economics)

  The Southern Strategy was a Nixon/Republican Party strategy of winning elections in Southern states by exploiting anti-African American racism and fears of lawlessness among Southern white voters and appealing to fears of growing federal power in social and economic matters (generally lumped under the concept of states rights). **Note Lee Atwater’s points on the strategy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy

  Historically the most representative defenders of classical liberalism were southerners such as Jefferson Davis (pres on the Confederates) and Alexander Stephens, who perceived the Republicans as the party of big government, conspiring to take away local authority, individual freedom (especially property rights), and the proper Constitutional authority of the states.

  The South Called Themselves

  I was one who REALLY hoped Trump would seek the Republican nomination, so I was disappointed when he pulled the plug on the idea. Now I’m excited by the idea of him running as an independent.

    Me too!! Did you know This.

    TRUMP IS THE NEW REAGAN?

    Free trade in America is the policy of economics developed by American slave holding states and protectionism is a northern, manufacturing issue.
    Historically, southern slave holding states, because of their low cost manual labor, had little perceived need for mechanization, and supported having the right to purchase manufactured goods from any nation. Thus they called themselves free traders.

    In pro-Lincoln newspapers, the phrase “free trade” was invoked as the equivalent of industrial suicide.

    Northern Progressives sought free trade to undermine the power base of Republicans – Woodrow Wilson would admit as much in a speech to Congress. A brief resurgence by Republicans in the 1920s was disastrous for them. Woodrow Wilson’s ideological understudy, Franklin Roosevelt, would essentially blame the Great Depression upon the protectionist policies exemplified by the previous Republican President, Herbert Hoover.

    And did you Know this?
    Reagan’s Record on Trade from THE CATO INSTITUTE

    “The Reagan administration has failed to promote free trade. Ronald Reagan by his actions has become the most protectionist president since Herbert Hoover, the heavyweight champion of protectionists.”

    The Entire Reagan/CATO article is here http://www.cato.org/pubs/pas/pa107.html

    DON’T BUY INTO THE FREE TRADE LINE, IT IS OLD SCHOOL PROGRESSIVE PROPAGANDA & CATO & REAGAN PROVE IT

  Like the Donald he would be a good adviser to turn to for some things in business problems but no his endorsement would be interesting but not sway me. I’d be looking for someone that does what he or she says in things that are logical and possible to obtain and do. . .Not more empty promises.

  I like the Donald, but I doubt his capacity as a probable candidate. For instance, he said that he would impose tariffs on Chinese imports… anyone who knows anything about foreign policy knows that tariffs punish the existing population, not those in control. As far as celebrities taking office? I weep for the day that the Kardashians run for office. By the way, off with you, Al Franken.

  His endorsement doesn’t mean much to me but it would be interesting to see who he would back. The best news would be if he said that he wasn’t running third party.

  Count me as one of the millions interested in Trump’s endorsement. His endorsement says “I’m not running as an independent, I’m backing Mr/s X”. This is what will interest me, even though I will most likely not vote for Trump.

  His endorsement will not influence my vote either.

    NC is right. If he endorses, it will mean he’s not as likely to run in a third-party campaign…and that’s good news for America!

    I was thinking the same thing; if he endorses someone it means, unequivocally, that he will not be running. I recently blogged about how puzzling it is that people are even seeking his endorsement. You can check it out here: http://blogheidi.com/?p=456 “Dear Donald: My Letter to the Unlikely Kingmaker”

  Trump is a successful businessman. Love him or hate him you have to admit he has insight into business that most people lack. I think it would be interesting to hear who he thinks would be the best candidate and why. And I don’t doubt for a second that there are millions of people who would be interested in hearing his opinion on the matter.

  On the other hand, I certainly don’t see it having any effect on my vote.

    He may be a successful businessman. Too bad that has absolutely nothing to do with politics. Too many people want to run the government as a business – it doesn’t work that way and will never work that way. The answer is to just get it out of the way and let businesses and citizens take care of their own issues.

    Politics is not a business. They are not designed or intended to make a profit. They are only supposed to have funds so they can operate. They hook you and reel you in by making themselves bigger and so need more money to run. Problem is they have no business interfering with most of the things they are interfering in. Just sayin….
