    Is Trump and agent provacateur? Meaning that he is actually trying to help the democrats by pretending to be a Republican? He did give heavily to Hillary Clinton in 2000, and has given to the Clinton Foundation more recently.

    I think so, and I'm starting to get tired of hearing Rush Limbaugh defend Trump--I've listened to Rush twice in the last month, and both times he was defending Trump. Is Limbaugh on the take for Trump?

    If I were to put on my conspiracy tin foil hat, I'd say Trump is part of a big plan to come out crazy so that the name Bush doesn't sound so bad when he gets the nomination.

    It's kinda already working even if not intended, all the sudden everyone else looks much better cause at least they aren't Trump.

    In the words of George Costanza :

    "I wish there were pigmen. You get a few of these pigmen walking around I'm looking a whole lot better. Then if somebody wants to fix me up at least they could say, Hey he's no pig-man! "

    I don't think so. I think he's just a wealthy, egotistical blowhard who is running for president because he can.

    Must be nice to have millions of dollars to flush down the drain...:)

    You guys keep saying Trump is so bad but you never tell us why.

    I bet you can't name even 3 of his stances on issues.

    You just don't like him.

    I don't think he's a suitable man to be President. He's on his third wife. He's not conservative. He's just a blowhard. The issues are immaterial if the evidence shows him to be a man who I don't feel I can trust.

    But unlike the RINO's he doesn't pretend to be strictly conservative. He has his views and sticks with them and to me that signals that he would be a fairly easy president to negotiate with. I think he would rather fix problems then tow some party line.

    Probably because he has been all over the map on the issues.


    Remember in 2000, when he said he was considering running for president that he would tap Oprah Winfrey as a running mate?
