    I'm honestly curious about that because if he does not tell the Republican line on that those are two major players who could go to war against him if he goes in the wrong side of the field there.

    Donald Trump has policy ideas? Who knew?

    Our guns are stupid. They're morons! When Trump is president, we'll have the best guns in the world.

    We have global warming because our leaders are weak morons! They're stupid! He'll put global warming in its place.

    I've heard people say Donald Trump "Built a business." Really?
    He inherited his father's money and went bankrupt four times.
    I don't know anything about business, but I'm pretty sure if I started out with what he had I couldn't do any worse.

    I'm actually fascinated by what he could do in this election.

    Let's say he has 30% of America buying his hairspray. Come the first primary, 30% just might be enough in each state until the heard is thinned.

    The problem is, 30% is not enough to win it all. He might get close to 40%, if he was the GOP choice on the POTUS ticket, but so many Republicans are logical people who could not possibly pull the leaver to have this guy in the White House.

    God, what a mess.

    Can't wait to see how Trump would auction off the Vice President/Chief Apprentice job.

    God, what a mess.

    His business is vastly larger than his father's.

    Trump has never declared personal bankruptcy, though he could have.

    He is currently involved in 515 business entities:

    The 92-page report starts with the 515 entities where the Republican presidential candidate has a title (usually president, chairman or both). It provides a window into the sprawling Trump empire, which includes the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, Trump World Publications LLC, Trump Ocean Manager Inc. and DT Dubai II Golf Manager LLC, in addition to golf clubs, vineyards and a private jet operation.

    Even if a handful of those reorganized under bankruptcy protection, is that a bad record?

    And, yeah, lots of people have taken successful family businesses and driven them into the ground. Growing it to the size Trup did, even given his father's success is rare.

    Much easier to score a run when you are born at third base.

    No doubt, but he grew his father's business tremendously.

    He's expanded into areas his father never would have. Hell, his father advised him to never build/buy in Manhattan.

    His wealth is no more a result of his hard work than my lack of wealth is my fault.
    That's all I'm saying.

    Looks like Huckabee figures Trumpspeak is a sure way to boost his polling:

    "“This president’s foreign policy is the most feckless in American history. It is so naive that he would trust the Iranians. By doing so, he will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven," Huckabee said in an interview with Breitbart News."

    Playing the Nazi card. And it's still July.

    That's absurd.
