Donald Trump: Should We Take Him Seriously? (Now leads 2012 GOP Field by 9%)

Re: Donald Trump: Should We Take Him Seriously? (Now leads 2012 GOP Field)

Wait, you guys have lost me. Are you actually suggesting Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990? Because not only have I not ever heard of Glenn Beck raping and murdering a young girl in 1990, I find it extremely difficult to believe Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990.

 

Re: Donald Trump: Should We Take Him Seriously? (Now leads 2012 GOP Field)

Beck has never denied it.

 

Re: Donald Trump: Should We Take Him Seriously? (Now leads 2012 GOP Field)

Let me be absolutely clear. No one is suggesting Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990. To do so would be crazy. People are simply acknowledging that many other people THINK Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990. And if many people believe that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990, isn't it incumbent on Glenn Beck to prove that he did not, in fact, rape and murder a young girl in 1990?

What's he hiding?

 

Re: Donald Trump: Should We Take Him Seriously? (Now leads 2012 GOP Field)


Why can't he just go to the place where the notarized records of those who have neither raped nor murdered young women are kept and get a certified document proving he neither raped nor killed a young woman? This seems damning to me, although I have no opinion on the matter either way.

 

Re: Donald Trump: Should We Take Him Seriously? (Now leads 2012 GOP Field)

It seems damning to me, too. Of course, there's also the open question of whether he murdered THEN raped a young girl in 1990, or whether he raped THEN murdered a young girl in 1990. It seems like that's a reasonable question to ask, given all the uncertainty.

Dennis Rodman I think.

Wait, if he lied on his application to Fox News, they need to fire him right now!

 

Re: Donald Trump: Should We Take Him Seriously? (Now leads 2012 GOP Field)

I don't believe Donald Trump raped and murdered any young girls either, but I haven't actually seen any certificate that proves it.

And some of my best friends are blacks, too! I even have a statue of one on my front lawn!!

Thomasson: Trump brings glitz to bland GOP field So why shouldn't this improbable character from the Manhattan real estate jungles believe he could do the job. After all in this country anyone can run for president, including, as BIll Cosby said, "that fellow from the old Smothers Brothers Show," referring to comedian Pat Paulsen who announced for the presidency more than once as a publicity lark. Leave it to Cosby to come up with the appropriate comparison. Maybe he should run.

Opposing Obama won't be easy. The president's ability on the stump is daunting. In this era only Bill Clinton could match his charisma. That may have diminished some but not enough to give the current crop of opponents much hope in the hurricane that is a presidential campaign. The task will be to convince voters that they were better off before they elected him and that they will be better off when he is out of the White House. How easy is that in an economy continuing to show improvement and given the power of an incumbent to dictate the news?

So if this is one of those elections without an obvious opponent why not look at the likes of "the Donald"? It would be a hoot. Every few weeks he could sack his campaign manager or one of his key advisers just for show. "You're fired!" could become the campaign cry. It would drive the political pundits crazy. He could comp free nights at the "Taj" or the "Plaza" in Atlantic City for big donors. Smaller contributors could be offered a free meal at the casinos' buffets with those giving $20 or under receiving coupons for a discount at the ancient hotdog stands along the boardwalk.

Go for it Trump, baby. We can hardly wait! http://www.scrippsnews.com/node/60969

Agreed. Lighten up, Carlton. Not every Trig reference is a Downs Syndrome joke. And as the father of a special needs child, I never went for that crap, anyway.
