I would have to hear everything Trump has to say in order to make that decision. Of course he is a great business man- and celebrity. And he is not afraid to speak his mind. However- he can not fill the Ronald Regan's of this worlds shoes. It makes me step back and think about California's dealing with a governator that completely buried that state- (not all his fault) however he was the ring leader...and then left and is trying to be the movie star again.

I like Trumps fearless loyalty to America- however I believe congress and the senate would not be ready for an Ace like him. America people have to remember its' your state elected officials in House and Congress that make the decisions. We need more Jan Brewer's in this country that stand up for American's. Trump is right- we are going to he!!- we have every pork barrel ear mark special interest policy that is bleeding us dry. Like Trump said we need to take care of America FIRST! So if I had to vote today- yes he has my vote. However I need to see more of what he is all about.

Trump has MANY foreign businesses and business deals....so is he really thinking about America first too? Does Trump only hiring well documented legal America citizens in his companies? This is what he will need to prove after he lashed out with Meredith interview.

Mr. Trump needs to have his world wide open in order to run for President. Is he comfortable with that?



Regarding universal health care, Trump touted himself as "a conservative on most issues, but a liberal on this one. Working out detailed plans will take time. But the goal should be clear: Our people are our greatest asset."

Trump had switched to the Democratic Party from the Republican Party in 2001 and again registered as a Republican in 2009.[64] Trump said in an interview in 2007, "I'm very much independent in that way. I go for the person, not necessarily the party. I mean, I vote for Republicans and I vote for Democrats."[65]

Since the 1990 U.S. elections, Trump contributed to the campaigns of both Republicans, such as John McCain, Rudolph Giuliani, Newt Gingrich, and George W. Bush[66] and such Democratic Party candidates as Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Tom Daschle, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, Rahm Emanuel, Hillary Clinton, Anthony Weiner, Charles Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Charles Rangel.[
Trump's political stances included the following
Pro-life[69]
Anti-gun control[69]
Advocates for the repeal and replacement of Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act[69]
Anti-foreign aid[69]
Supports a fair trade policy and believes generally that the People's Republic of China should be considered more of an adversarial competitor, subjected to significant import tariffs as a response to China's currency policy in order to help balance the U.S. budget.[72][73]
Believes the U.S. should disengage in Iraq and Afghanistan[74]




Trump has filed BK several times- how financially sound is he to run this country?

He has never told a single lie about the corrupt A-hole in the WH, he is just asking the liar-in-chief to put up, or shut up.
As Donald said, he is obama's worst nightmare... obama is finished, the country may be saved yet...!

I do too...I love it actually. "People who have nothing to hide, hide nothing." Period.

He's a straight-shooter and even says openly..."Unless we get the oil I don't want to be dealing with Libya." How much more honest can he be?

Bingo.
He can afford to be "honest" where he is now. Try that in the political arena and see what happens. Anyway, honesty in office would be revolutionary.

YES HE HAS and you don't have to say AHOLE.

Yes. Maybe the Donald can convert all National Parks into golf courses (that only the top 20% can afford to play). Maybe they could be dual purpose...oil reserve / golf courses.

I said before I wouldnt rule him out and would like to hear more from him BUT, he needs to stop this sort of crap:

Trump explains where he keeps his Bibles – Glenn Beck

Im sick of politicians trying to pander to a group of people just for the sake of trying to get votes or approval. He clearly doesnt know what it means to be a Christian. Any person that has truly believed or does believe in it and has ever really practiced the religion of Christianity can spot a fraud. It was spotted with Obama and now Trump.

Wish the video was on Youtube. I think even the Beck haters would get a kick out of it. Trump looked foolish here and I hope he just drops it all together and doesnt try to revisit the "im a Christian..." thing again.

And while he is at it, unless his investigators find something note worthy, let's move past it and on to the real issues. I had no problem with him bringing it up but it's getting old. The media is only going to ask about that now as long as you keep saying the same thing over and over about it. Get out there and talk about your ideas, your views, what you would do to help this country and serve this country.

I hope you guys that want to vote for Trump realize its a lot easier to say you are going to do something as opposed to actually enacting it. Considering as soon as you get in office, about half the people want to see you fail and half the country hates you. Especially in this day in age of Information Technology, people are going to be nitpicking everything you do from the get go. Gone are the days of Slow news and information. Look at the last few presidencies.

I would vote for Donald Trump based on his opinions about illegal immigration alone.

I like what he says and I like who he is, but I would vote for his hair before I would vote for him
