So along with the John McCain comments and now what he did to Lindsey Graham...I think we all need to move waaay past Donald Trump as a serious GOP contender. He's a flash in the pan.
For those of you who don't know what he did to Lindsey Graham...Graham is friends with McCain and Graham defended McCain (along with almost ever other GOP candidates). In a retort, Trump publically read aloud Graham's personal cell phone number.
Not classy. Not presidential.
Re: Trump? no.
Trump is a hardened business man that has built a fortune by making the right decisions which usually are tough to make. Democrats and Republican politicians are used to making the wrong decisions as is obvious as we have 12-30 million illegals in the country. In a nut shell, stupid people do not get to be billionaires. Unfortunately stupid people are the ones that have been elected to run our country into the ground. Trump is performing a much needed service for our country. House cleaning the dirt so the country sparkles again.
Great points!! I would vote for Ben Carson over Trump. They are my top two.
Case in point: the EnCap site in North Arlington, Lyndhurst and Rutherford, NJ.
EnCap is a landfill.(translate: who knows what kind of toxic waste may also be buried in it??)
Trump wanted to take that entire tract of land and build a world class golf course and take the rest of the property and build high end high rises, midrises and a shopping area.
Those 3 towns are middle class and Rutherford is becoming kind of upscale but by and large it is still a middle class town.
The high rises would have ruined the view of NYC and Trump took off and booked it when they told him he'd have to remediate the entire tract of land before he was able to build anything.
All of this happened about 8 or 9 years ago.
He's built a golf course down in Colts Neck -- trendy high income area but the majority of people who come there to rent the place out for a wedding or a prom...right; the middle class. We didn't need another golf course. (and I wonder if that one's not on top of some kind of former dump or landfill.
Say no to Donald. Who needs him?.
He did all that because he is a successful business man. Imo as POTUS he would make much needed positive changes for the country. Donald Trump is the only candidate that will not be controlled by the Washington D.C. Cartel. He is also the only candidate that can bring back jobs, close the borders to all the illegals, protect the country against ISIS and make our military strong.
We have illegals here from every country you can think of -- it isn't just Central and South America.
They are getting in here somehow; that we know -- whether they are being brought here by some entity who promises them freedom for only X amount of dollars...which they wind up working off by being put to labor in a sweatshop, prostitution or some other type of enslavery.
Maybe they fall through the cracks; visa runs out and they get under the radar somehow.
How does he plan on finding every single illegal and shipping them back to whence they came?
I think they are also having a second debate earlier that day (4PM East?) for the candidates who are NOT in the top 10.
Oh! Like the governor of my state, Bobby Jindal. You go, Bobby! Race those other GOP candidates to absolute last place.
Let me tell you how bad he is. Despite being extremely conservative in one of the reddest states in the country, he has one of the lowest governor approval ratings.
Sorry to even mention such a non-contender, but my snark could no longer be contained, lol.
He is NO Perot.
Everybody was interested in Perot...but not a third party candidate, which he was.
He pretty much took the nation by storm. But nobody wanted a third party candidate.
