OK, elaborate. That is one idea you like. What about all the others in the article?

I don't know that Hillary was all that unbeatable, Hill, and I think the Republicans got washed over by the same wave that brought her down. Barack was like a rock star, man. People had to buy in, to find out his rhetoric was, well, as substantial as Sideshow Donald's hair.

Do you think the RNC is doing the same thing now?

Stepping on their dicks and not getting serious because they think their opponent is 'unbeatable'?

(not saying he is, just saying the RNC seems to think that.) If they dont get serious, he WILL be unbeatable.

Obviously he's flip-flopped on health care and taxes to get better ratings for the show. I have to say I like him probably because if he is a Republican he's not an extreme right-winger. I also like him because so far he's the only Republican to mention bringing jobs back to America. I'm quite sure after his show is renewed by NBC they're going to tell him to keep quiet because they don't want him to be NBC's Charlie Sheen.

What's really amazing about the tea party people in the Republican Party is that they like Medicare and Medicaid, I think 65% are in favor of those programs so in a funny way there is really no inconsistency in Trump being in favor of single-payer health care. I don't think he realizes or knows most tea party people like Medicare and Medicaid so he really didn't have to flip-flop on health care. And I really wish he could elaborate on this fact so tea party people won't say stupid things about how they hate government and then say, 'keep your hands off my Medicare.'

The easist way to beat Obama is to let him beat himself. The dynamic of the campaign is already in place. Polarization and demonization. Lots of demonization. Whoever the Republican nominee winds up being, we can all rest assured that s/he will be painted as wanting old people to die from lack of medical care, so the poor can eat them.

Why jump into that buzz saw any sooner than absolutely necessary? I'm willing to wait a bit, to see if Huntsman has the balls to attack Obama at the knee, when he returns from his China post.

They better get their shit together fast or we will have 4 more years of Obama because right now none of the present R candidates can touch him and I damn sure wouldn't vote for any of them.

I'm liking Daniels. To be honest though, I'm liking him better than I like his chances of winning the primary.

No more or less a republican than any other neo-con.

But lets`s count the reasons......

More money than Mitt.That should be enough right there.

Is a birther or is appealing to the loon-fringe part of the party(same thing).

Has gone bankrupt and been bailed out(read-bush/'08'meltdown/middle-class-ass-fuck)

Easily forgets about his money problems.Shameless denial, being a key republican quality.

Thinks that money equals success.

Dumb enough and in denile enough to think that giving thousands of dollars to liberal organizations, including the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, as well as to powerful liberal Senators Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, and John Kerry.From 1999 to the present, nearly 60% of Trump’s political contributions went to democratic candidates, while only 40% for republicans, wouldn`t come up.

Is dumb enought to say :

"I have made my point of view well-known, including the continued request for President Obama to be transparent with the American people and provide his birth certificate for forensic review. Only Obama is in a position to put to rest this long overdue and controversial issue. If there is nothing to hide, come clean."

And then expects to be taken seriously when saying:

"There are many important and pressing issues that, should I elect to run, I will address — including China, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, the price of fuel, unfair trade, unsustainable debt, the creation of jobs and the rising price of food.

Most Americans would prefer to have a serious conversation about these critical issues, followed by a competent and fearless leader who can advance them. Sadly, the press has en masse chosen to glom onto but one of the myriad issues I have discussed and would tackle as president.

Allow me to repeat here what I have said on numerous occasions: I have spoken my piece on this issue, and many people have the same doubts as I have. My concern lies with people like the single mom who recently wrote to me that she now works a third job to pay for the gas to get to the other two.

My ability as a leader has already been proven. If I should run, and if elected, I will create jobs, balance the budget, negotiate strongly with foreign countries, inspire my fellow Americans and make the United States respected again."

Is he a "real" republican?

Hard to say, really.Says he is and is pandering to them.He`s in 1st place, apparently.

Would love to see him run.It would be such a cluster-fuck! A richer, dumber, all be it uglier version of Sarah.

They would make an awesome team.And an awesome cluster-fuck.

Trump-Palin '2012'!!

I have no idea who will win the nomination, maybe Pawlenty. Doesnt matter what speculation is at this point though, doesnt matter what the polls say. It is still way too early, anything can happen and any dark horse can charge to the front of the pack, someone could even emerge to challenge Obama in the DNC, you just never know.

I doubt that any other Dem could get sufficient funding from the Dem fundraising machine.

Yeah, speaking of dark horses, who would have predicted an Obama nomination back in '06?

Correction - you didnt post any of the article... you dumb ass!
What you posted was a link!

Ive posted the whole article, not just cherry picked.

A few highlights.

He wants his own version of "universal healthcare"

He has called for a one time 14.25% tax on individuals and trusts with a net worth over 10 Million. (can you say redistribution of wealth?)

He wants to raise taxes.

Oh yeah, he wants to see Obama's birth certificate. I guess it's that last that qualifies him as a Republican.

So sorry, I assumed that anyone on these boards was intelligent enough to move the cursor over the link and twitch their forefinger.

I can see I was wrong.

You were. There is no more intelligence here than anywhere else and in fact...maybe a bit less.

Oh BTW, let's review. Inherited $50 million, used other people's money to make billions while in true capitalist form...walking away from billions in debt. This proves he is certainly your typical capitalist and thus very likely, yes...a real true blue republican.

Gotta hope he is....Will be some pretty classic meltdowns just in the primaries not to mention of the combover makes it to the nomination!

Obama’s oratorical skills caught my attention at the ’04 convention, but the lack of experience will be hard for him to overcome. I really expect to see him as the candidate for Veep with whoever.

He seems to have managed the hurdle, DG.
