I think that it was hilarious when a community organizer with no executive experience was running for the White House. The joke is on the nation now.

Trump has at least run buisnesses. The left is absolutely terrified of Trump, as he would destroy Obama in an open election. When the left feels threatened they resort to personal attacks and this has been the strategy for Trump.

No "positive ideas"????

1. Revoke China most favored nation trade status
2. employ corporate "consumption tax" analagous to Japan and China to reward US job creation
3. re-negotiating or revoking NAFTA
4. enforcement of the borders
5. flat tax
6. raising medicare and social security eligibility
7. balancing the budget


no..........................wait.................. .................. these are all the things which Obama has failed to perform at the expense of the nation. Why? He is not a leader and has no plan.

The dems are terrified of a candidate who has a plan, as it makes Barry the incompetent look even more inept. Obama's campaign theme? Keep spending and invoke class warfare. Now that is a "leader" we can do without. The nation will not be fooled again.

Tell me, besides class warfare, what exactly is Obama going to note as his achievements in the debates? Does the nation crave high unemployment, currency devaluations, and insolvency? It is hard to defend Obama unless one simply resorts to personal attacks and class warfare. That is not leadership, that is the beahvior of a child.

Looking back at the choices I would say they/we made the correct choice. Now it looks as if the GOP has not learned a darn thing and will back another set of candidates that the majority of American voters cannot vote for.

Last night on the Apprentice Trump said that lot's of people want him to run for president.
Did he mean all three of his adult children?

President Donald Trump - 2013 to 2021.
I don't want an entertainer the President of the United States. This guy is becoming a complete joke with each day that goes by. Does he have such a think skin that he has to attack everybody that questions whether he should run for office? Get over yourself and announce that you aren't running already!

By all means, I hope you're out there on the stump for Trump 24/7

I see nothing but a cheesy free publicity stunt here, time will tell

Let him run, the parade of skeletons will be quite entertaining

BTW, history shows us a POTUS need no achievements to win reelection, far more than one political hack has proven that.

Trump would be America's Chavez - a little mind, a little person with a big ego.

Wrong, he started running a positive campaign but then realised he was losing so he took the karl Rove approach and started attacking heavily. That was one thing that made me not vote for him.

If you think the debt increasing by $3.4 trillion in 2 years is good, then yes, it was the "correct" choice.
