Donald Trump Bolts Republican Party, Eyeing Other 2012 Options

Trump is a joke. Really. All he knows is business (and he’s not good at it with 4 bankruptcies under his corporate belt). He would make a poor President because he doesn’t know anything else about what it takes to be a President. Foreign policy? Clueless. Does he even understand how our country works? Just because he has an idea doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. We have a little thing called The House of Representatives and the Senate that must go along with what he wants. If they say no, it doesn’t happen. So, Trump is truly a joke and is out only for publicity.

‘ray for Donald. He needs to get the jump on the inevitable split that’s coming in the GOP. He wants that superpac money to have his name on it. No sense spending his own. Just cut the right deal and it’s life in the fabulous Trump White House! Do they have room in there for the Miss America Pageant in there? No? Time for a new wing with rentable rooms.

You all are wrong. Trump would make a great president. He’s got my vote!

I would vote for Trump. I too hate what the Republicans have been doing and also some of what the Democrats are doing. We sent these people to Washington to work for us and by working against each other, they are not doing their jobs. In most places, people who don’t do their jobs don’t get paid. These people cerainly do not deserve to be paid. It goes beyond rediculous.

Bring it on, Trump! The Republicans don’t want you and Obama is guaranteed re-election if you’re on the ballot!

Welcome to the land of the unaffiliated voter where we who are disgusted with the 3 branches of Government being led by the three stooges seek someone with some sense and a set. You may or not be that person but anything is better than liars and thieves being led by a man whose claim to fame was bank sit ins and government grant writing.

This is just about keeping the Trump name/brand out in the public.
The day he needs to reveal his actual assets is the day he drops out, just like before.
He is a limo lefty anyway, quite happy to spend OTHER peoples money helping people.

good riddance- just an odious individual.

Anyone think this clown was never a republican? Trump is Perot for for Obomama!

How many times has he gone bankrupt and how many ventures have failed? Trump is someone who shouldn’t run small town let alone a nation with nuclear weapons.

The GOP should count this in the plus column.

If any one here thinks Donald will run is delusional. He does not want the media checking into his financial affairs and displaying the face that he isn’t as wealthy as he claims. He is once again promoting himself. He is a genius at that.

Donald “Please somebody pay attention to me” Trump, is a liberal PLANT. They BOUGHT him off with an extra season of his STUPID SHOW and now they have him poised to SPLIT the Republican vote. Mr Trump YOU SUCK. Go get a hair transplant and get back to us will ya? Nobody wants a president that looks like a DERANGED CHIA PET!

This is because of one thing – almost all the Republican candidates refused to participate in HIS debate. Worse, the Inside the Beltway Republicans mocked him over it. So, Trump is genuinely angry! This isn’t just another stunt. He’s also enough of an egomaniac to run an Independent campaign to screw over the Republican party that so openly “disrespected” him.

Trump is a phony working with Obama and is going to try to siphon votes from the GOP. His agent is Ari Emanuel, Rahm’s brother, and he owns a huge hotel in Chicago. Don’t be fooled by this pretense. The Dems must really be nervous.

Was ANYBODY ever fooled by this guy? Seriously?

Trump is a clown and an idiot.

“Trump said, “but and I won’t do that.”

“the merger would be something that both parties sould become concerned about,”

Way to go, ABC. Isn’t Affirmative Action great?

Why does anyone think Trump would draw GOP votes? I’m sure right wing conservatives will jump at the chance to vote for a closet Democrat. If he does run, Obama and his liberal buddies should be worried.

Trump needs to quit playing games. If he runs as a third party he will be assuring the the United States will be a Communist nation within 5 years.

Trump may be rich, but that doesn’t mean he is smart, or wise, or principled, or a good person. Trump is just as phony as his hair. I’d vote for his hair before I’d vote for him…

OTOH the Republicans continue to show they have no spine and are also committed to big government and less individual freedom. Time for a third party that emphasizes faithfulness to our Constitution, to individual liberty and responsibility!

Dear Trump, please go away.

why not take the money money he is going to waste on this ridiculous venture, and do something good with it…like helping kids get a college degree or something. He may not be republican but if he did something good, he might actually become human.

There is a mental stability question he must answer first.

Not to worry. There are about 10 people who would actually vote for him but he would be a hoot in the campaign. No conservative or Republican would vote for him. We still remember Ross Perot. Maybe he could pick Newt. They could share campaign slogans – “It’s all about Me” Anyway, if we regard our freedom so little that we let someone like Obama stay in power we don’t deserve it.

TRUE…Ill add they want to Stop Ron Paul’s momentum, they dont want us getting our country back. This is another SCAM they are running, Dont be fooled

Looks like a Ross Perot all over again. I think Trump won’t do as well as Ross did and he flopped. American won’t be able to trust what point of view he is coming from. He will be a lame duck.

Possibly a bigger narcissist than Barry. Just what this country needs to ensure its final destruction…

Hey Trump! GO AWAY PLEASE!

Trump is the most delusional idiot in America today, he bolted the republican party because he has been told by numerous prominent republicans that he is a loon. All he is a narcissistic dumber down version of Ron Paul.

Trump = PT Barnum

Donald ” comb over’ Trump still hasn’t released his tax returns.

It seems like Trump is really a democrat and secretly supports Obama and he intentionally pushed the birther thing to throw people off track. He knows that if he runs, he’ll guarantee an Obama 2nd term; he’s an ego maniac but not dumb. Also, he’ll likely usher in Pelosi as speaker again. Our country will not recover from an Obama 2nd term w/ complete democrat control on Capitol HIll. Think our deficits and our national debt are bad now, just wait. Get ready for more misery and when people finally wake up, it will be too late.

I honestly wouldnt care that much if trump runs as a GOP vote siphon, barack obama turned out to be just as conservative as mccain, the 2010 house “takeover” turned out to be a farce, what do I care? I want to see ron paul run against obama in the general election and lose, just so I can be sure that this country is irreparable and find comfort in the fact that there is no way to save it.

It’s nice to see the “spoilers” raining on the Republican’s parade. Next thing you know, Sarah Palin might change her mind. Obama 2012.

The Globalists cannot be Ron Paul fair and square and know that they are losing, so now they have to pay Trump to run for a third party ticket to split the votes for Obama. If anyone can’t see this and believe anything this idiot Trump says after all these years, then you’re pathetic. And don’t give me that, “Oh, he’s a celebrity. He would be great in office because he’s Donald Trump” thing, then you all deserve the “REALITY TV” world that you will live in. Pathetic. There is only one candidate and one candidate only, RON PAUL 2012!!!!

The Globalists cannot beat Ron Paul fair and square and know that they are losing, so now they have to pay Trump to run for a third party ticket to split the votes for Obama. If anyone can’t see this and believe anything this idiot Trump says after all these years, then you’re pathetic. And don’t give me that, “Oh, he’s a celebrity.

There is only one candidate and one candidate only, RON PAUL 2012!!!!

Trump is like a bad annoying fly that just won’t go away. Someone SWAT that thing and his hairpiece!!!

I’d like to see some of his plans. Maybe we need a Prez who isn’t beholding to anyone, and isn’t afraid to tell other countries what to go do with themselves. A Presidency with “The Donald” at the helm just might be what this country needs.

I wish he would’ve ran as a Democrat and forced a Primary for President Obama. For the simple fact of “Fast and Furious”. Fast and Furious shows failed leadership at the Justice Department and in the White House. The fact that AG Holder is still the AG is a poor reflection on the President. As far as Trump goes, he disputed the bankruptcy claim the other day to Bob Beckel and Beckel apologized to him for saying he had several corporations file for bankruptcy. Trump says it isn’t true. I don’t know.

Please quit reporting anything Mr. Trump has to say about politics. The only one that takes him seriously is the media. I would literally vote for an Obama/Ron Paul ticket before I would vote for this wannabe P.T. Barnum.

First off, Trump would not be the worst President we ever had….WE ALREADY HAVE THAT NOW!! What Trump and his idiotic EGO will do is virtually guarantee that we have four more years of THE WORST PRESIDENT WE EVER HAD.

Mr. Trump:

You probably won’t read this, but i’ll give it a try. If you run as a third party candidate you will split the Republican ticket and give Obama a second term. You say you love this country, and Obama is ruining it. By running you automatically give Obama a second term! So, what is it? I’m not too pleased with the Republican slate either, but I would vote for “roadkill” over Obama. I see this election as a bridge to the next election where we have a candidate that we’re excited to vote for. I’ve done so much research (I use to do it as part of my job) on Obama, and actually believe he is trying (and succeeding)to radically change this country. I believe if Obama loses, America has a chance. If he wins, I believe America will be lost forever! What is it Mr. Trump?

TRUMP = EGOMANIC

Why is it so many rich people are stupid?

Dump Trump

If Trump wants Obama out of the Whitehouse then Trump should not run for office. It appears Trump’s ego is as big or bigger than Obama’s.

@RalphF – Do you think Obama knows how our country works? A career professor, community organizer, and politician who never worked in business knows how this country runs? I don’t think any single person has an omniscient capability to know exactly how a complex country is run. But most businessmen at least acknowledge that free markets and competition are the source of America’s prosperity, and do what they can to get the government out of the way.

This fruitcake does not have other options–who is he trying to kid? He must need some cash. You do know he’s a scam man, dont you?

He is the same shade of ompha lumpa as John Boehner, and I can’t stand either. Shocker theDon is running, it fills his bank with free publicity cash so why not? Where was his hair born? It seems alien to me.

Trump was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and only ever borrowed other people’s money to do what he wanted with it, mostly to squander it on big “deals” and self-promotion.

What!? He’s not a Republican?! What a shocker! (sardonic tones)

david you’re not telling me you STILL support Obama ..you have to be kidding me ..After all the corruption , all the massive debt you support this idiot? You’re either 15 years old and don’t have a clue or you’re getting something for nothing from the government. ( My choice from your rant is that you are 15 or younger, just my 2 cents )

Anyone who knows how the electoral college works realizes a third party candidate has NO CHANCE of winning election let alone winning a single electoral vote (one needs 268 to win). Since only an imbecile or a meddler would vote third party (or run third party) in a presidential election, it would appear Mr Trump is preparing to out himself and his avid supporters as such. The remaining question is do Ron Paul and his disciples (I used to be one) also fit this bill?

Recall that Clinton got elected twice and never got 50% of the vote.

Trump’s Apprentice starts again next month, need I say more?

Trump’s only allegiance is to his bank balance and he doesn’t care which party gives him the best crony capitalism.

*YAWN,* did someone say something?

Trump is an egomaniac jerk. For Republicans to suck up to ths clown is a disgrace. He chose not to participate as a candidate and be asked questions, hoping instead to moderate a GOP debate.Now he may run as a third party candidate which all but guarantees Obama a second term to finish destroying the country. Obama has a solid 40-45%. Any Republican will get at least 40%, even with Trump in the race. He can’t win! All he can do is split the undecided votes that refuse to vote for Obama denying the Republican candidate a majority. He made his mark trading on his father’s name and political connections in the Liberal cesspools of New York and New Jersey. He’s a brilliant marketer of all things TRUMP. If we ever plan on selling the USA to China for an overinflated amount and allowing them to keep Trump Capital, Trump White House and The Pentagon by Trump, then Donald is the guy. Otherwise, two words Donald, “YOU’RE FIRED!”

Trump should run as a democrat. He should tout the environmentalist side of the fight, take up with Buffet on his claim that millionaires should pay more tax and just go between the far left and the center of the political ideology and take up some of the Democratic votes away from Obama. With Paul’s possible run on the right and Trumps on the left, perhaps we can avoid another Obama administration.

I believe Trump is a shill for Obama and will become the “Immelt” of Obama’s second term. After making a “deal’ with the devil, Trump used Greta and every other honest news source he could to stab this nation in the Barack. Following this evil move, Trump will circle the bowl before disappearing to be remembered only as a liar that sold his country for a ‘deal’.

Nobody is fooled by this publicity stunt. Trump scores at the bottom of national polling for president. This can only be seen as a cheap ploy to reelect Obama. BTW he also gets to score tens of millions in tax free campaign contributions–which he can spend and launder as he pleases–in the process.

Trump is shamelessly putting himself before our country’s best interest. He’s also putting our financial future at risk. Which is galling when we all know he’s well heeled enough to ride out any economic collapse. Even a second Great Depression wouldn’t phase him.

And in the end, it’s all in vain—for sheer vainity’s sake. He sure won’t get my vote. nor the support of anyTea Partiers I know. Not even the Occupier Movement is stupid enough to vote for a self-serving publicity hound like him.

I figured out Trump several months ago- knowing full well that he is in bed with the Dems.

This guy has business dealing in Chicago. This is a Daley run State/City of Chicago. The Daleys are Democrats. You need the Daley family blessing if you want to “get your foot in the door” business wise.

Because of the aforementioned, Trump knows he can’t “ruffle feathers”. One way he further “nudges” and solidifys his presence in Chicago is to try and undermine the GOP candidate’s chance of winning this 2012 Presidential Election.

In essence by Trump running third party like Ross Perot did, those votes he would get would be more detrimental for the candidate running against Obama.

Trump’s unscrupulous business practices and narcissism fit in well with the Daleys and Obamas. If you don’t like Obama and should Trump run as a third party candidate, voting for Trump only changes the “color” of who will continue to run our country “in to the ground”. All the while these two clowns will continue to reap wealth and power at our expense…

He’ll take away votes from Republicans and he can’t win. Don’t do it Trump!

Just what we need. Another narcissist running for president. There won’t be room for both Trump and Obama on the campaign trail.

All crass, no class Trump.

Trump is getting $$$ from George Soros to guarantee Obama’s second term. Take that to the bank.

@Connie B. – then you will be voting for The MessiahObama. You will either be too stupid for words or a or you just don’t give a rip about the direction this country will go under The Messiah – take your pick. The only vote a conservative can make this time around is to vote so that The Treasonous Messiah does not have another 4 years to ruin this country even more. And that means you need to vote Republican. I wish it wasn’t so. I have no love for the Republicans. But I despise the Messiah so intensely that I’d vote for Carter again over him.

Trump is a second class moron, I am simply tired of hearing about how much money he has, and how bad China is,GICE ME A BREAK!!!

I don’t blame him. They treated him like crap and now the GOP has embarrassed themselves with this payroll tax cut business.

Don’t blame you Donald. The GOP does not deserve your attention or your money. There must be better places to be.

Trump never was a Republican.

Good riddance.

This is all a stunt by the democrats so that Obama will be re-elected. Trump is a democrat plain and simple. He has the money to get obama re-elected. Wait and see. The same way the democrats are making the republicans look bad when they debate. The media is in the tank with Obama, trump is a supporter.

How much money is Obama/DNC paying this prick to split the anti Obama majority? If Trump runs as an independent, Obama will be reelected with %40 of the vote. What a tragedy that would be!

The man fits in well with washington scene as he lacks a moral compass.

Donald trump is a democrat who only wants Oboma to win. He pretends to hate Oboma to get republicans to vote for him if he runs as an indendant so it will split the vote for Oboma to win. Donald cares about NOBODY but the Donald. Look at all the money he has contributed to democrats.
WAKE UP AMERICA

Trump…what an idiot, he is the most self serving person I have ever seen. He is good at one thing. Spin and Real Estate.

For all his noise Trump is no more than an Obama Shill. If the O wants him to run he will. Anyone that votes for Trump is a chump and may as well just cast a vote for Obama.

Another comment on here said something about Trump only being interested in the rich and to get richer. What the heck do you think the other candidates are doing already? Holding bake sales? Maybe he will do the same thing. Maybe not. But we can’t continue going the way we are going with the people who are in charge now. Something has to change before we go over into the abyss from which we will never recover and end up like some central american banana republic!

We are DOOMED!!!! OBAMA will be re-elected and we will be DOOMED!!!! DOOMED!!! DOOMED!!!!
Goodnight America!!

We will have another 4 years of Obama if Trump splits the ticket. How can a fellow so smart not see that? Whew!

IMHO Trump is sending a threat to the Washington establishment Republicans. He is basically saying: If you make a RINO (e.g. Huntsman or Romney) as your presidential candidate (which is what they want), then I’ll screw up the election and you’ll get Obama for another 4 years. THis is an interesting gambit. We’ll see what happens.

I like much of what Donald Trump has said. He is a bold thinker. But he left the “arena” and should not run as a third party candidate. That would alter the election and almost assure an Obama reelection or make the outcome uncomfortably close.

I, too, am disgusted with the House Republican leadership. I wanted to believe in John Boehner. But the big crybaby has been a true “Milquetoast” when it comes to dealing with the Obama regime. He needs to be replaced as Speaker of the House. There is absolutely no reason to self-neuter as Republicans. There should be the strongest fight and resistance against Obama and his dastardly party of leftist liars.

Trump is out of touch with the common man…how many of you folks know that he just bought a new B-757 (yes that’s an airliner) for his own corporate jet? I’m a pilot and I cannot tell you how much money that thing cost to buy and operate…millions and millions…it’s mind numbing…yeah, he’d be right in touch with the common man…

He’s a Democrat.
No one knows this?
Am I alone living in reality, he was a spoiler to ruin Republicans and give it to Obama.

Donald Chump, enough said.

This is a publicity stunt by a man who really does not want to win but promote his name.

What an IDIOT!

Please God let Donald Trump run for president.
Anything to dilute the republican vote.

Trump was never a republican, he was never a genius in business, his father was the genius, he was never a darling of the right, only the Rhinos who now are so privately embarrassed that they now make excuses for him ( yeah they trated him badly-really? When? He wanted to moderate a debate and put his ego ahead of the country–he found two suckers to play his game)

Anyone saying they will vote for this bankrupt loser then should ignore Newts infidelity and Romneys Liberal ways and realize that they are in lockstep with another egomaniac Mike Savage Aka Mike Wiener, another 60s throwback liberal.

He’s a Democrat.
No one knows this?
Am I alone living in reality, he was a spoiler to ruin Republicans and give it to Obama…………………………………..And Fox news and the Republican party swallowed the bait hook, line and sinker as he was their GUY all summer long. Who in there right mind would be associated with such a blantantly racist party?………………….RACIST, like Ron Paul and Rick Perry and their fervent supporters.

Obama fails article II and is not a legal candidate at all.
He’s here to destroy the constitution, US sovereignty, the middle class and US security.
He’s done a fine job of it.

Don’t know if you’re a Republican or Democrat?
Trump, you’re fired!

Trump is such a left-wing clown he would pull more Obama voters than otherwise.

For the Republicans to throw away the election, all they need do is nominate a total phony like Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich. I’ll vote for Humpty Dumpty before I’ll vote for another McCain-like pseudo-Republican. Ron Paul has a better chance than these two stale neocons, war-happy Hannity and Levin’s propaganda notwithstanding.

hahah trump, what a joke, they should put him on fear factor and make him eat bugs

Why the Hel!! would anyone want Obama Re-elected?

I been watching Trump on Fox News – all I can say I didn’t “Don’t trust Donald Trump” as he is I figured he was thinking of running for President as an Independent for the sole purpose of getting Obama re-elected. He’s pretends to be against Obama, but he is full of crappola and is for Obama and wants him re-elected. I’d bet money on this one. Trump is using Fox News to appear conservative and anti-Obama when he is pro-Obama and bad mouths the GOP field so he can use it as an excuse to jump in the race as a third party candidate. If Obama appears to be in trouble getting elected Trump will be like Ross Perot spoiler to split the Republican vote. I’m quite sure on this, because though Trump got Obama to release his so-called long form Hawaiian birth certificate he never questioned it or had it examined to see if it in genuine. Bloggers found issues with it right way and posted on Youtube as not being genuine or legit. Trump is a snake, a wolf in sheep’s clothing with a tremendous ego as he has given money to many democrats such as the Clintons, Pelosi and Reid and others, I didn’t trust him and neither should you. I knew he a snake Ion this.

Trump gave Rahm Emanuel a $50,000 campaign contribution in December 2010. . . . .Trump is and always has been a liberal even as he was pretending to look for Obama’s Birth Certificate. He knows a third-party run will only serve to benefit Obama’s reelection, which I believe is his ultimate goal. Don’t be fooled. . . .he is merely a shill for Obama to divide republicans . . . . . .a life long registered democrat.

Smart people have k.own all along that trump is desparately vowing to re- elect president thief. I think trump has been a democrat plant since he joined the republican party in 2009. Yes, he switched from the democrats in 2009. And just how many suckers call themselves republican? Certainly the rinos who fell for the hair. Lordy, lordy, lordy, people, THINK!

I used to be a big fan but now I believe he has a few screws loose

If Trump wants to defeat Obama by having a 3rd party candidate in the election he should find and back and ultra-liberal instead of running himself. That would take votes from Obama and hand the Republican the victory. By running himself, Trump will guarantee victory for Obama….if anyone is stupid enough to vote for him that is. Since he obviously knows that, one can only conclude that Trump WANTS Obama to be re-elected; probably because Trump is swallowing up companies in the crappy economy or something (speculation on my part…don’t care enough about Trump to research what the heck he’s doing). Trump’s lame association with the failed debate also was supposed to look legit, when in the end it was just a way to discredit any GOP candidates who agreed to attend. See a pattern anyone. Trump for Obama in 2012. Don’t fall for his BS.

Mr. Trump will not be the first or last to leave the Republican Party. A whole bunch of us will be too, right after the primaries. No, not going to the marxist, progressive party, going Independent. Staying until the primaries so we can make sure the Republican elite can’t push their marxist candidate on us.; (Romney). Trump is right.

Donald. You’re fired.

Well one thing is for certain, Trump could not do any worse of a job as president than Obama. That is a fact.

If anyone but Obama is elected, this nation only has one place to go, up.

If that idiot runs, he will be spitting the vote enough that it willl garentee Obama’s victory. The Democrats must be loving this. Trumps Ego is running now.

Trump, if you do this……YOUR FIRED.

I am sorry but any popular independent will split the Republican vote and hand the election over to the democrats (Obama) just like Ross Perot did for Clinton twice. Haven’t we learned this already.

Trump isn’t a Republican? Shocking! Not! Trump is a life long member of the Opportunist Party.

Who could possibly care? Why was this written?

If Trump isn’t a sleeper agent for the left, I’ll kiss your…..big toe.

Trump, spend a couple bucks now to save yourself cash and embarrassment later.

Hire a polling firm to see if there is a single voter outside of your friends and sycophants that will actually vote for you.

The result will definitely surprise you … And you’ll be the only one surprised.

He has the ego and tackiness of a rich liberal elitist, and yet the media claimed he was Republican because he’s rich. ?!?!

Folks, stop falling for the media’s portrait of Republicans. They’re playing you so bad … and it’s starting to really hurt you.

Trump’s finally figured out what real Republicans already knew: that he’s not a serious candidate for anything but reality TV star. The headline-hunting glory-hound celebrity media darling is always the last to know.

Dont worry, obama is so despised that even if this idiot were to throw his hat in the ring as a third party candidate, obama would still lose in a land slide. obama, like a rock…..only dumber!!!

Trump has obviously received his Big Payoff from the democrat party to disrupt a free election. I am guessing something on the order of $10 million or more.

ABC needs to hook up with GBTV and have Beck’s hour on for real news. You know, the kind that no one else will report. Your ratings would skyrocket past the dummies at FOX NEWS who traded in Beck for a table full of goof balls.

We need a third party, No more liberals and we had enough of RINO’s

He’s just mad because nobody wanted to show up at his debate.

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
– Lord Acton

Donald Trump is a psychology text book case of a megalomanical sociopath.

meg·a·lo·ma·ni·a (mg-l-mn-, -mny)
n.
1. A psychopathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of wealth, power, or omnipotence.
2. An obsession with grandiose or extravagant things or actions.

Wonder if Trump had not had a head start with Daddy’s money, what would he be doing for a living and what lifestyle would he be living?
He is a spoiled brat with a big ego.

i will not vote for a man who had liposuction done to his face

Trump’s is a wishy-washy. He can’t even make up his own mind. He is a gamble and like to play it by ear. I don’t think he will win but than again who know. In America more than half are a bunch of idiots. The young American just don’t know how to think must less how to vote. In addition, there are many fraud going on the voting poll. In fact, there are many that are not register to vote and they still vote. There are illegal immigrants who vote with no ID picture or paper of any kinds. So, that is why America is in a big mess as it is. As for the Republican nominee I hope it will be Michele. She has the least scandal of everyone else……….Good luck to all you idiots out there..

Trump + NYC Construction= wise guy connections. Check it out.

So what if he runs? That will just ensure that Obama is reelected. Obama is by his own accounts the fourth greatest president in history and that is only because he’s only had one term so far. He even shot a 39 under par and had 4 holes in one in one golf match. His foreign policy skills are so good that he won a Nobel Peace Prize before even taking office. No worries folks!

“One thing is for certain, Donald Trump is adamant that Barack Obama must be defeated in 2012 under any circumstances.”

Donald Trump, here’s a bit of cold reality for you; YOU do not get to decide the future of The United States of America.

Donald Trump is a shameless self-promoter. He is simply trying to make himself an item in the news of the day. If he were to run as an independent, I doubt if he could gather the requisite number of signatures to get his name on the ballot in the various states. His ego needs constant stroking, which is what he gets from all of his pontificating. The press gives him the attention that he seeks, because they think that is is causing more trouble for the Republicans. The press is going to do everything they can to get Obama re-elected, including running stories that will weaken the eventual Republican candidate’s position.

Trump would be the best thing that ever happened to the country, the white house, the senate and the house. He isnt compromised or beholding to lobbyist, he knows how to work with people, unlike the current resident of the oval office. But, since he is running an unlikely campaign, I’ll take Romney.

The only thing more stupid than a vote for Trump, would be a vote for Obama. Remember, you get what you vote for. Even if you are too stupid to understand how important your vote is.

Donald Trump is a blowhard of the same order of narcissistic psychosis as Obama, who used the Republican party to gain attention for himself in the manner of Ron Paul. I’d not vote for Trump or Obama. Obama was already cruel and unusual punishment. We don’t need the sentence extended with Trump.

Could there be more typos in this stories?

Maybe it’s been said before, but I just can’t resist! Trump – “YOU’RE FIRED!!”

The only people who are endlessly fascinated with Donald Trump as a potential Presidential candidate are the media. I have yet to encounter one normal person who would be excited to support a Trump candidacy. The man has no political philosophy or principles; his only devotion is to his sense of his own destiny – no wait, I’m sorry, that’s Mitt Romney.

Why doesn’t Newt offer to have Trump as his VP? The two blowhards would make a heckuva team.

Donald Trump is another Ross Perot in the making. He really wants President Obama to get the second term. It means, his criticism is just a cover-up of his undying love and loyalty to President Obama and his policy.

Two M-words: Megalomaniac, manipulator. Lemme see, Paul-Trump. There is your Obama second term.

Trump’s just upset because he was dismissed by the Republikan candidates for his stupid debate. Which would have been more of a ego boost for him…. Go sit in your penthouse, synthetic head, and mope…..

Donald Trump is in my opinion a Trojan Horse for Obama. I think he is working with the Dem Party.
He has never been a conservative and has supported many dems including giving them substantial donations. I think his plan was always to run as a third party canidate to siphon votes from the republican canidate. Obama only wins if the Republican vote is split, Trump seeks to guarantee an Obama victory. Let us not forget if not for Ross Perot Bush 1 would of won a second term. Trump seeks to do the same same thing. I predict he will run as a third party canidate no matter who the Republican Nominee is. If the election were a chess match Trump is nothing more than an Obama pawn.

Donald dump, we take a dump on you, all you want is your name out there.
Give it a break you lost your luster the same way Kim K. lost it. You need a bigger shovel so you can dig yourself deeper in your hole.

It always felt like Trump was working with and for Obama. It’s doubtful whether he can throw the election to the Dems because he’s so discredited with both sides. He’s destroying himself. I wonder what Axelrod promised him?

If he runs it won’t be on a third party ticket it will be at best a fourth party ticket more likely a fifth party ticket.

For all of you who would vote for Trump if he runs as a third-party candidate, I hope you all enjoy the second term of Obama. At least you will save me the trouble of standing in line to vote, as doing so would just be a waste of time.

Trump blames Bush for being so bad that he stuck us with Obama, who is even worse.
If Trump runs as a 3rd Party clown, all that does is guarantee 4 more Obama years, which means Trump is worse than Bush, which means he’s worse than Obama.

Not to mention that Trump has donated more money to DEMOCRATS than he has Republicans.

He’s a weasal and a phony — he’s a pro-Democrat.

Trump knows that a third party helps the incumbent, and he has given millions to Democrat candidates as recently as 2010. By stealing votes from the GOP he will all but guarantee we are stuck with Obama for another 4 years

I said: Who cares what this empty American says….
I didn’t vote for obama last time but this time I am gonna vote for him…. I think he is the best thing for America in recent history… WONDERFUL!!! 4 more years and this country will be purged of a corrupt congress and senate because the people are gonna purge every politician out by civil war…. There will be unrest like never seen in America. Because now Americans believe that good is bad and bad is good. Once this country goes even further to hell in a hand basket there will be a purging… When Americans can’t say “Merry Christmas” because good is bad and once they can’t store more than seven days worth of food because good is bad and once they can’t own a gun because good is bad….. There will be a purging of the bad by the good!!!!! So lets pull together and re-elect this person…. OBAMA2012!!!!!

Donald, PLEASE REGISTER AS A DEMOCRAT AND CHALLANGE OBAMA IN THE PRIMARIES.

Trump is playing the Trump card which is a Trojan Horse for the Fat Cat Liberal Progressives bid for Greedy Power Grab 2012.

Trump is living proof that wealth accumulation and intelligence are not synonymous. He’s got the personality of a 13-year-old bully on a playground; an arrogant showoff who craves the limelight. If he could go down in the history books as the spoiler who helped to reelect the worst president in history, that would suit him just fine…as long as the historians spelled his name correctly. On the list of repulsive know-nothing celebrities who blow off about politics, he may be at the very top.

Stop please just stop it with this Trump run again,no Trump not running nonsense and concentrate on more important issues. The MSM has turned this guy into Planet-X it’s out there, no it is not out there nonsense story with no real content at all. If he comes forward and wishes to pay off the trillion Dollar debt then he is news if not move on. The American people are like violins constantly being played.

Just like Ross Perot did for Bill Clinton, Trump is only in the race to help Obama get elected again. I’ sure a Dem pac is paying for his run as an “Independent”. His entering the race will guarantee Obama stays in office (as if all of the illegal aliens, dead people, etc who are voting won’t already help). Remember, Obama and his entire criminal Administration are fom Chicago where they “vote early; vote often”.

Who cares?

Besides the ‘Donald’ does ANYONE really care? He doesn’t have a TV to promote, right? Or a new book to sell? Nah!!

If Donald Trump runs it will have the same effect the Ralph Nader had when his decision to run as a 3rd party candidate got us G W Bush and the Age of Deficits and Wars. Trump running as a 3rd party candidate will guarantee Obama will be reelected. Of course, Boehner, Gingrich, Perry, Paul, etc. are virtually guaranteeing that now themselves.

The funny thing (actually sad) is that many Republicans fell for this trickster after his phony birth certificate investigation. Everyone else knew his game but Fox News had him on and gave him credibility so you fell for it. And now as they get their golden boy liberal Mitt Romney into position they have gone from ignoring Ron Paul and saying he can’t win too, “Well he can’t win, but here are some smears and slander anyways”. And the low IQ Fox drones will fall for that too. It’s what you get when you have an uneducated sheep populace who can’t think for themselves. And Republican Fox News viewers are some of the worst out there.

Trump is the only person wanting Trump to run 3rd party. He’s angry the republicans rebuffed him on his debate. He was livid with Bachmann because she discussed him being her VP, and then stiff armed him on the debate. His opinion was “how about some loyalty?”

Trump is driven by Trump, himself. No one else. He will guarantee an Obama victory if he runs. And all his bluster about “Obama must be defeated” is just that, self indulgent bluster. If that’s the way he feels, he better not run 3rd party. His “people” are deluding themselves thinking he would pull enough votes to win anything as a 3rd party.

Those that tout a 3rd party should be castigated and scorned. They don’t deserve to be applauded and cheered. It means they’re tempermental 3 year olds who don’t want to accept what the other voters have to say. If they don’t ge twhat they want, they’ll throw a tantrum and ruin it for everyone else.

That’s all this is from Trump. A temper tantrum. And if he does this, this will be the only thing he is remembered for. . . .putting a very unpopular president back in the whitehouse.

Trump wants an Obama re-election. Wall Street fat cats have gotten fatter under Obama and Trump wants to continue that. The best for for Trump to do that is become president. The second best way (and the more more viable way) is to ensure 4 more years of Obama.
Ray Charles could see through this BS.

Trump is an opportunist who puts his own gain above the best interest of the country. Unfortunately in the society in which we live, people will recognize him from his “reality” show and likely vote for him. That will split the party and could cause a defeat, but Trump could care less about that.
He would be an even greater self-serving egoist thatn we have in office now.

If Trump or Ron Paul make an independent run for the President it will draw off enough votes from the republican party to insure Obama is elected. I don’t like the bunch running for the republican nomination but like the man said, a ham sandwich would be better then Obama. As for the bunch running for the republican nomination, they have some good ideas, but I don’t see any real leadership in any of them.

For all of you “ANYONE BUT ROMNEY” conservatives out there, who jumped on the Trump bandwagon when he was toying with a GOP presidential bid – I will repeat “Told you so” If Obama was to be doing a fairly decent job, Trump would have been praising him up and down. He’s a LEFTY, through & through and the fact that he was at one point a GOP frontrunner, should shame each and every one of you GOPers that supported him. In your quest to try and deny Romney the nomination and then the presidency – you threw your support to anyone who talked a good game – shame on you.

Trump serves no purpose but to be a Ron Paul spoiler. He has already stated that if “the wrong person” got the nomination that he would jump in. Like the rest of Wall Street he can’t stand to see a principled constitutionalist get the nomination. ANYBODY but a real patriot! To hell with this globalist boot licking schill.

Donald Trump is one of the smartest people in the world. He is the greatest businessman of our generation and I’m sure he has a very high IQ as well. If he was running for president I think he would surely take well over half the vote. Even democrats and republicans would flee their ticket to vote for him. He would restore the White House to the former glory only known since the Kennedy administration. With him at the helm American would be back to being #1 and other countries would come begging to us for our technology and trade. I dare anyone to post comments on here to refute his genius and business capabilities.

To me, the ‘news’ of this posting is that there are so many people who seem to care what that bozo does.

I don’t refute his business genius, I refute his loyalty and patriotism.

If The Donald becomes a Democrat, the average IQ will rise in both the GOP and Democrat parties. Don’t le the door hit you on the way out of the GOP, you only had one foot in there anyway.

Call me crazy, but is that the same “Republican” Donald Trump that donated BIG bux to Rahm Emanuel’s campaign in Chicago? Trump is just a really bad attention seeking cartoon.

Anyone who could imagine a conservative running as a third party candidate in this most-important- of-all-elections would be a fool. Trump didn’t fool me.

Who cares whether Donald Trump runs for president or not? He will not syphon votes from the Republican or Democrat Party and he knows it. I saw one left wingers telling him to run thinking it would help Barack but he’s wrong. Nothing will help Obama remain in the White House. Blacks like me are determined to vote him out! Trump is making noise and no one really listening any more. He is seeking more camera and media time and he’s getting it. That’s what it’s all about, look at me, listen to me, I’m relevant and the voters are saying, what a joke, he is totally irrelevant. If he wants to run he can run in that Democrat circus that’s leaving power after next year’s election.

My wife and I just read that Donald Trump is considering a run for the 2012 presidential election. Doesn’t he realize that many of the polls showed that having Ross Perot on the ballot in the 1992 allowed Bill Clinton to win? I believe that he would cause that same effect as his independent run would steal more votes from Republicans than Democrats, only helping Obama to win and screw up our country even more.

What are your thoughts?

I wish America had a president that understood business. Posted by: Steven | December 24, 2011, 11:13 am.

Well, Trump certainly understands how bankruptcy court works. He’s been there enough……….

NOOOO! First order of business is remove BHO. Remember what Mr. Third Party H. Ross Perot got you in 1992. Bubba Clinton and all that followed, including Chairman 0.

a reality TV star as president? How about Monty Hall for VP? Trump is a complete joke. The only thing bigger than his mouth is his ego.

why does this man need so much attention? the donald should just go away and take care of his billions.

After the real estate implosion why would anyone vote for a real estate developer? Maybe Trump hasn’t figured that out yet.

umm Donald, no one cares.

Dear Donald,
If you run as an indendent and draw off enough votes to allow Obama to win another term, I will find you and thump you with a large stick

I kind of like The Donald, but I’d be with Jeri here.

I wonder if the pres will crucify him for his marital infidelities as they did Herman Cain

Trump running as a third party candidate could hurt the democrats. Here is my logic. A big block of the democrat voters is the very stupid. Only a very stupid person would vote for a grandstander with no real program like trump. Ergo, trump would take some of the very stupid vote from the democrats and thereby reduce the total democrat vote.

All we need is a 3rd party to put
Obama back in office.
Do these people have a plan?

SO, as we all suspected, Donald Trump is a Trumpocrat because, in the long run, the only one he cares about is Trump.

The establishment has gotta get a jump on creating a fake 3rd party for idiots to run to. It’s too easy to find out which banking elite funded this deceptively named Americans Elect Party

Will ther be a TRUMP/BUSEY ticket. Hey Donald WE DON’T WANT YOU!!! Take your sorry EGOMANIACLE self home!!!

Remember how Perot helped Clintoon get elected? Obama’s 2nd term could be a reality but then again, let’s not give Trump’s ego this much credit. Even true Republicans know this guy isn’t conservative enough for us to vote for him as an “alternative.”

Trump is a disgusting, narcissistic Megalomaniac who actually thinks the citizens of this country will vote to put his braggadocious butt in the oval office! Pfft! When PIGS fly! This loon with bad hair will never risk a landslide defeat because his ego would be on life support for the next 30 years. He is just being the same old gasbag. He really thinks he has the power to virtually appoint someone to the oval office or he will appoint himself!! Unbelievable. Let this CLOWN know he cannot get away with acting like a dictator. WE THE PEOPLE will vote for whom we want and there is nothing this jerk can do about it but whine, posture and threaten to run on a third party ticket. What a guy! Ugh!

Trump is nothing but a spoiled brat with delusions of his own importance. Remember the first rule from “Scarface” was “Don’t get high on your own supply.” Someone needs to deflate his head.

Have character, don’t be a character. He has as much chance of being president as I do.

Make a 3rd party called the CONSERVATIVE PARTY.

The candidates need to come up through the house and senate. That’s what’s always missing from the 3rd party, they don’t get into the debate because they don’t have anyone in the house and senate.

True Trump went bankrupt 4 times but he also rebuilt his empire 4 times so why couldnt he get America going in the right direction again? As for foreign policies? Hes done business with lots of different countries which would be a big asset to the USA as for the rest of foreing policy I ask you just what did Obama know when he started? Much less than Trump for sure and he got elected…he hasnt learned much either so that reasoning doesnt work…Trump is smart enough to find the right people for the right jobs.

I like Trump… He is who we need to run the country. He is great but people don’t like him.

Congratulations to MrFalcone for presenting a more straight forward and unbiased article re:Donald Trumps political considerations; vastly different from one recently presented by another writer on this ABC site. As I stated in the previous blog. I am an independent and I hope Donald Trump runs for office. He’s definitely got my vote and the support of many others who are await his official notification. It is not the least bit surprising to see bloggers here…mostly “liberal”, throw daggers at Trump. Those of us who admire/support Donald Trump, are for starters, not threatened by him or jealous of his wealth/success. He is a very intelligent man w/ a proven track record to overcome challenges. We need a strong leader, one who is not so concerned with political correctness but rather speaks w/out reservation for what he truly believes. He’s a true patriot. Imagine…a patriotic president- hmmm?
