Will be entertaining… better than the Marryweather Pacio boxing match. I might just have to renew my CNN subscription. We will see how much dirt he has hidden. I will see how he handles debating people on an equal footing

Another clown in the parade.

Sort of like 4 years ago. Someone has to play Bozo. Trump tends to fit the role well.

He makes any other GOP candidate look good.

He is a showman.
This is the perfect stage for his megalomania.
Plus he has a lot of money, so he can buy the stage.
Somebody, maybe Rush Limbaugh, said that politics is show business for the untalented and the unattractive. Here is one more example.
But is he really any less of a moron or clown than any of the other candidates that came after my grandparents generation, the so called Great Generation?
After they left the stage, things went downhill pretty fast.

Maybe I should have said “is he any more of a moron or clown”.
Hope you got my meaning anyway.

He’s a joke.

Even before he opens his mouth, the hairpiece is enough to make me piss myself.

He makes a lot of noise about running but the plain fact is that, so far, he has not been willing to share accurate info about his financial affairs.

Full disclosure is part and parcel of the deal for any President or candidate. I’m not sure at which point in the entire process this is required but it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if he goes right up to that line and then withdraws citing some manufactured reason just like last time.

But he sure loves all the free publicity up until that point and is perfectly willing to run his mouth at every opportunity.

I’d be surprised if he goes any further than he did last time.

Mitt Romney with more cash.

Considering how long it takes him to do his hair each day, he wouldn’t have much time to actually BE president.

Also, editorial cartoonists would have easier jobs because all they need to do is draw him the way he actually looks.

My reading is this, him being president would suit the US very well, a perfect match.

I see him as the candidate who makes Ted Cruz seem like a mellow moderate in comparison.

My main question about him: do he have the stamina & patience to keep going to the end of the marathon that is the Presidential election process? Stamina, maybe. Patience, I have my doubts.

I hope that he doesn’t fire his secretary of state publicy.
