Trumps quote, " he is war hero by way of being a POW". I rook it as Trump was meaning, he was not Audie Murphy. More of victim of circumstance. | |||

As if it matters. Anyone who thinks Donald Trump has any chance at all of being our next president is either delusional or incredibly naive. It's very good that all this is happening in the year before the election. | |||

There in lies the problem, Trump and the majority of Americans have no clue as to what those pilots had to endure during Rolling Thunder. Every one of them are hero's. And the ones that got shot down even more so because they knew how fucked up those missions were but continued to fly anyway. LBJ should have been prosecuted for those missions. So when Trump, with his 4 deferments in hand, makes a statement like he did it exposes what a piece of shit he really is, as if we needed any more evidence. | |||

As I said earlier in the thread, Trump is serving his function as an iconoclast. Iconoclasts are not reverent of "war heroes", (whatever that means), so why is anyone surprised at Trump's remarks? Do you think his McCain remark hurts Trump's chances of being president? Well, put your mind at ease. Trump has no chance of being president, so he can say whatever he wants with impunity. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

Trump has as much chance as I do. But the fact that he is as high in the numbers as he is illustrates not how popular he is but how unpopular Obama is with all the other rinos in the field. There is little to no difference between the Obama democrats and the establishment republicans. Maybe it is starting to dawn on some people. Trump may be many things but he's not sounding like a politician. That makes him attractive to many. Mostly to the people who stayed home last time around. That's the segment of people who could win this thing over. If we wind up with a candidate these people won't get behind it's over Johnny.

I know - but I would like to see The Donald & Madam Secretary debate just one time. In the vast boring sameness of politics today, it's refreshing to hear about "third rail" topics without the filter of fear in offending someone. GGF | |||

Just wait until those people being polled realize this is Presidential politics and not American Idol they are being asked about! Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

I don't imagine trump will be president. But who here thought Obama had a chance of being elected in 2007? Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here. Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard. -JALLEN "All I need is a WAR ON DRUGS reference and I got myself a police thread BINGO." -jljones | |||

There's two huge differences that I am astounded even need to be pointed out to you guys: 1. Trump is a KNOWN VALUE, unlike Barack Obama. If you need this to be explained to you, you're too far behind the curve to bother with. 2. The America press LOVES Barack Obama. Again, if you need this explained to you, ask an adult. Now, would you guys please do me a favor and stow this "Well, we elected Obama" shit? Damn! | |||

That's where I'm at. I want him to remain in the race as long as possible. He seems to be doing a good job upsetting those who I typically despise. | |||

In terms of the American press, Trump = Ebola. He's good for ratings and they want to SCARE you with all the SCARY THINGS the SCARY MAN is saying, but that's about it. | |||

Bad dog! |
What is the similarity between Bernie Sanders, socialist, and Donald Trump, arch capitalist? They both represent outsiders from the beltway enclave, non-establishment politicians. There is national disgust with the Democrats and Republicans. Being an outsider is a huge advantage, and could even be decisive. That was true of "crazy" Ross Perot, who would have won had he not withdrawn. I don't think Trump will win the presidency-- I would not bet on it-- it's a long shot-- but far too much "impossible" shit happens these days for me to rule it out entirely. It seems like something impossible happens every day, sometimes more than once. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

The News Media are s**ting bricks trying to slam Trump. They know Trumps biggest voters would be the independents who can turn any Election. | |||

Thats a Washington Post poll. Another Washington Post poll taken over the same period asked "If Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination would you vote for him?" 62% said "Definitely would not". 20% said "Would consider". 14% said "Definitely would". That 24% number means absolutely nothing. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Yes.... a year and change out, it's fine. Entertaining, even. But Donald Trump seems to think Donald Trump has a chance at being our next president. He may be either delusional or incredibly naive, but it could make him dangerous. Don't go third party, Donald. "Some things are apparent.

Here's a pair to draw to! From Breitbart Texas:

Sure, but if you are worth billions, why are you paying rent, or not paying rent, as the case may be? A pissing contest between these two egomaniacs will be entertaining but not illuminating.
