President Donald Trump?

I think his economic policy would be pretty good, I am worried though that a New Yorker wouldn't get the gun issue.
He does have a ccw but that doesn't prove anything.

We have a Jupiter-sized ego in the White House now. I don't think we could stand one any larger.

Trump makes my skin crawl.

Trump would liven up any campaign simply because he will say things other candidates wouldn't.  Right out of the box he takes on "free trade" and how it isn't.  Trump reminds me of the kids along the rope line in the tale "Emperor's New Clothes".
"Men, it has been well said, think in herds. It will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one."
- Charles Mackay, Scottish journalist, circa 1841

"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it." - John Lennon

I'd vote for him.  On the other hand there probably aren't too many people in the world that, if they ran against Obama, would cause me to vote for Obama.
But I am sort of set in my ways ....  [tinfoil] :angel:

In his speech at CPAC, he said he is anti abortion and supports the 2A.

I'd probably vote for the guy. Two problems, one he is the left's PR wet dream. OMG teh evil bigse businesses man! He wants our poor people's precious but we won't let him haves it!

2nd, any after hour oval office antics that go down will probably make WJ Clinton look like an Eagle scout. Womanizer in Chief, hairpiece in chief, I can see it all. Easy for G.B. Trudeau to draw, economic stability for late night hosts.


On CPAC, who cares? All the pet social conservative causes will just torpedo any chance of a candidate surviving the primaries and making Obama one term. Unless of course the raving left does the same to their *former man. Personal views aside, I don't care about a lot of the wedge issues right now. I just want a simple statement like that man is a socialist, I am not. We can fight out the small stuff in more appropriate venues.

longeyes i couldn't agree more

folk need to research trump a bit study how he does his thing  his "character". it isn't what his pr machine pitches
It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Trump once attempted to use the power of gov via eminent domain to seize a woman's house- so they could give it to him to tear down and build a limo parking lot.  That tells me everything I need to know about his view of other people's rights.   :mad:

Nothing like tearing down the other candidates at CPAC.

4 times that I was able to find.

An election that ends up Trump vs. Obama would be the ultimate vortex of suck.

PUULEASE anyone would be better.
Government isn't business and you cannot run a business like government and visa versa. And Trump ain't much of a businessman.
