Anyone who questions Obama's birth place is undermining their reputation as an intelligent preson. Anyone even commenting on that this time around looks weak.

Lets face it, anyone who can do any good for the USA will not be popular with the majority. Drastic change will hurt, and unfortunately many many people are short sighted. They will see that things will look worse for the next 5 years and panic, voting out that president, rather than realise that putting up with some pain now will ease the pain in the future.

As I said above, drastic change is needed, and drastic change isn't easy nor comfortable. Here it is plain and simple, what is best for the country isn't popular. What is popular isn't best for the country. The reason things head down hill is because people don't vote for what is truly best for their country. They vote for what is best for them in the next few years. If a politician starts making the harsh choices that are needed, people will yell and scream because it (usually) hits them harder in the wallet by a few hundred dollars a year in the short (sub 10 year) time frame.

I think he's an ego maniac but his view of our big business giving our jobs to China is running us into the ground is dead on.

Exactly! While he makes stupid comments about things like Obamas birthplace, he does have some valid points. The problem is that if government were to start imposing large tarrifs on goods imported from countries with unfair, uncompetitive conditions (e.g. China), people would run around screaming about the fact that that government is interfering where it shouldn't and that America is free market- claiming that this interference is "socialism". They wouldn't be happy because at the end of the week, buying the "cheap" Chinese imports from Walmart cost them $10 more.

Unfortunately people blame imports for the destruction of their local manufactures and industry. Imports from other first world, standard wage countries who compete in quality and technical design rather than on low cost actually boost the economy they're imported into. This is because the companies in that economy have to innovate to compete, build the best quality product to survive, rather, than produce the cheapest possible product- where only a 3rd world, super low wage manufacturing base can compete.
 
Let's vote for someone we all can agree on. Santa Claus for President.

Nope! AFLCIO and SEIU Unions wouldn't allow it. He has labor camps full of "free" labor building his toys. Bloomberg and the anti-salt crowd would come down on him for his over-eating habits. PETA would come down on him for the unethical treatment of reindeer. Congress would investigate him for giving away toys tax-free to not just low income children but also the children of high income earners. Also, his beard is fake much like Trump's hair so he must be an idiot! lol

Presidents have no power without house reps in their favor anyways. With Trump following a Democratic president...he'd be involved in a house with Democratic majority.

Assuming the house stays Democratic majority...which it probably would with someone like Trump possibly to take the presidency. He would have to wait two years to try and get the house with reps in his favor. By then...his first term would be up. You really think Trump would serve another two years?

And he's a republican...I think that's obvious. He walks around acting like he doesn't know his party...all the while wearing a red tie, ha. Republican all the way.

The republicans control the House the democrats control the Senate.

Look, I don't know everyone of this mans business's and neither do you. I find it extremally hard to believe that EVERYONE of his business's have gone bankrupt. In case you have forgotten, we are in the midst of the worst fanancial crisis since the great depression. Most all large corporations have have suffered great losses during these tough economic times. It really only seems to me that the ones who have survived, recieved gov't bailouts. I never remember seeing The Donald recieve any bailout and yet, he's still on top

Thanks everyone for expressing your opinion. I really appreciate you all keeping this thread civil. I believe its a healthy discusion for us all to express are views

Maybe The Donald will see this thread and chime in his thoughts

God bless America,

Yes I would vote for Trump if he were to go against Obama, anyone would be better than Obama. Trump is a successful business men who run's numerous businesses. Yes he has filed for bankruptcy several times but he has always found a way to succeeded. Obama has run Acorn......you do the math. I would prefer to see people receiving government assistance be mandated to work, be drug tested, and not make it a lifestyle. Obama is content giving away the hard earned income of those who work. If you're a successful hunter your family has food, if not you learn to hunt..........not expect those who are successful to feed your family.

What scares me is how the media has construed Obama's image. CNN and MSNBC have gone away from ethical journalism practices, Fox seems to be the only people reporting the truth. If people can't recognize his ties to all the radicals and Czars (too many to list) then your blind to the truth. Look at Obama's actions when he travels abroad through the middle east and look no further, he's a muslim at heart with an agenda which all starts with cap and trade. Obama makes Carter look like a moderate.

Ok I think I'm worked up enough to go enjoy some quality quiet time detailing my car. Afterwards I'll garage it until we get a quality president who cares enough to help rid the speculators and lower gas prices rather than going on vacations and fund raisers at our (the taxpayers) expense.

We need to make great strides in an attempt to reviatlize this country and make it as great as it once was.
 
Snoopy, Woodstock 2012!

On a side note... We just need someone with ears that will listen to the PEOPLE and eyes to SEE WHAT IS WRONG! Nothing more Nothing less... SOMEONE WHO WILL CLEAN UP OUR COUNTRY and BE THERE FOR IT'S PEOPLE!!!

These are the two biggest points you have and they are both spot on with why OUR country is a WRECK!!!! Thank you for pointing these out as we all need to realize this!!!
 
I won't vote for Trump. He supported nationalized health care, donated to Democrats, and supported the SCOTUS decision in Kelo V New London, CT eminent domain case. Now he's a chest pounding conservative? He's an ideological drunk driver, all over the road politically. If y'all want a successful businessman for a POTUS candidate, look into Herman Cain.
 
I think that we need someone who will go after the big money people. To bad the big money people have our goverment bought and payed for. Its the middle class people that pay the most taxes, die in our wars , and keep the econony going , but its the middle class that gets craped on the most. By middle class I mean the $35,ooo.oo to $100,000.00 a year people. We should have a National Health Plan. For a start just give everbody Medicare. It covers 80%. If we can pay for war , we can pay for Medicare. We need a Presedent like Franklin Roosevelt. We need programs to get people back to work , and not just give people money. We better do something fast because we are going down the drink fast . At this rate we will be a third world country.
 
Let's also not forget the government is also being controlled by and work with the mafia and cartels.

"You can help create your own luck, you can make things happen through hard work and intelligence."- Donald J. Trump

no way. incredibly high risk personality. has proven himself to have little regard for others and lacks integrity. i've lived near Atlantic City my entire life and ever since i was little i've known how terrible it is to do business with Trump. i'm 32 now and things haven't changed. they never will. it is the way he is.

Ron Paul is the only candidate who would have made the major changes necessary to get this country sorted out, but the US is too middle of the road to accept such a solution, and can't see the forest through the trees. the people of this country would rather die a slow death than take a little pain up front in exchange for living happily ever after. partisan politics is ridiculous and people are too lazy. RP is too old now, but there is always hope that eventually his son will fill his shoes nicely. and by that time, the generation that could possibly accept real CHANGE will give it a chance.

republican, democrat, conservative, progressive, tea party....i don't care about labels. and screw the news networks. i don't need anyone to explain to me why one person is better than the other while trashing everyone else. i want someone who will do what is right and stop the incessant wasting of cash by our government on all fronts. defends our shores, take care of our people and stop spending money and lives on foreign interests. nobody fulfills all of those requirements except Ron Paul.
 
Well, one things for sure. The Amerian ppl are tired of the status quo. Thats why I feel The Donald is are only choice. The man is not afraid to speak his mind and his success in the business world can't be denied. He commands the attention of all...

For example. I like his stance on pirates

The rich pay 50% of the tax money the government brings in from the citizens and nearly 50% of the population pays no taxes at all. The only thing that brought America out of the depression was WWII. FDRs programs created temp jobs not long term jobs which is what we need. Plus the fed can't even pay for the SS money that you are forced to pay into the system so how can it pay for healthcare for everyone? Let healthcare companies compete across state lines and you will see a real decrease in insurance rates. The fed is spending itself and this country into oblivian and it's not just one party or president that's responsible. Cutting spending and trimming down the fed would be a good place to start.

Sad thing is, is that now days, the President does not have anywhere near as much say as he used to decades ago. He is more of a head-figure then anything. They can say what they want to do, and push for what they feel is right, but if the House and Senate do not pass it, Its gone. Unfortunately, the House and Senate just cant agree on anything and are too worried about what party they belong to. They argue, and rub dirt in each others face while the American people are the ones suffering.

this country's political methods need a complete overhaul first if anything.

But hey, thats just my opinion. And as the saying goes; "Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has them, and they all stink".
