The Donald leading in the GOP

Trump speaks out of all sides of his mouth, chatting it up with Pelosi and giving money to Rahm. But maybe that is who we need as President, someone who is an opportunist instead of a true believer...

...who am I kidding, they are all opportunists.

I think a mafia boss would be a great pres.

A few random thoughts.

Didn't most of us get enough of "running the government like a business" under Bush?

And speaking of running businesses....didn't Trump run his into bankruptcy?

And last, but maybe not least, Karl Rove doesn't seem to think he's a viable candidate. I may have issues with Rove's ethics, but I would never, ever argue that he isn't a brilliant strategist. But here's what he said a few weeks ago on Fox News:

You know, the troubling thing in the interview tonight was [Trump] said as time has gone on here, over the last couple of weeks, he has become more interested and more believing in the issue. You know, when he first brought it up, he said 'of course I accept that he's a citizen. He ought to just release the, release his birth certificate.' Different tone tonight. This is a mistake. It will marginalize him and he's falling into Barack Obama's trap. Barack Obama wants Republicans to fall into this trap because he knows it discredits us with the vast majority of the American people when they do.

Now, I might not agree with Rove on it being an Obama trap thing (in fact I would argue that Rove threw that in not because he believes it, but because the viewers might) but I do agree with him that the minute Trump starting blathering about the Birther issue he was pretty much toast as a viable Presidential candidate.

Any thoughts?

I think Obama is chuckling about this "run". I mean really, is that all you got?

Ladies and gentlemen, the *front-runner* for the Republican nomination for president, Donald Trump, according to the latest poll done for Daily Kos.

Perhaps the best evidence yet that the Republican party is slowly but surely morphing from an actual party into an outright cult of stupidity.

He's bankrupted what, three, four times? For the tune of billions of dollars. how many lives has he destroyed with his profligate, irresponsible behavior? He shows 0 consideration for others. In other words he is the exact opposite of who we need in control of this country.

sorta like our past and present government.

But wouldn't it be cool if in November, 2012, Trump could tell Obama, "You're Fired!"?

Wouldn't it be cooler ifwe elected a chief executive who put thenned of his country ahead of his need for self-aggrandizment? Or one who was more concerned with preserving the rights of citizens over lobbyists?

No! We prefer bragging rooster types that tell us what we want to hear.We deserve what we elect.
