    That any journalist would write a piece taking Trump seriously should immediately get them fired and unemployable forever.

    No one's going to donate to a Donald Trump campaign and he's not going to spend $100M+ to run for president.

    Donald's money is tied up in real estate and the various partnerships and companies that own individual properties.

    He's not liquid and he's not going to liquidate holdings to run for President.

    I'm shocked that he's gone all "birther" because I think it hurts his brand, but he's certainly loving the attention.

    Also, people like that Trump is beating up on Obama and talking tough, but just as they liked Giuliani post 9/11, they wouldn't vote for Trump once they actually examined his record.

    His donations to Democratic candidates alone would ruin him in Iowa and New Hampshire.

    First of all, the obvious answer is FUCK NO.

    I don't understand what he's doing. I'm not sure I would go as far as to call the man "stupid" but the idea of him running is absurd and the idea of him making the birth certificate an issue is absurd as well.

    He has some decent ideas about ending the war, but any respectable ideas he has are completely dwarfed by the birther bullshit.

    Don't know why Donald is so against foreigners. Seems to me two of his three wives were foreign.

    The first wife could be the reason. He hates her.

    Well the one he's currently married to is foreign, too. Unless that one is on the rocks and he'll be going for marriage No. 4 before the election.

    I would vote for Ivanka before I voted for her father.

    On the other hand, Donald was able to negotiate peace between Meat Loaf and Gary Busey, so there is that.
