Donald Trump Prominently Considers Run For New York Governor

Donald Trump, the nation's most shameless political flirt, is at it again.

This time, the billionaire real estate mogul, reality TV star and perennial self-promoter is toying with the idea of challenging New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, saying the state's high taxes and tight gun-control laws make the Democratic incumbent vulnerable.

"I've got time," he told The Associated Press in an interview this week. "I believe - and many people believe - I'm the only Republican who can win. I think I would win easily."

Trump, who Forbes estimates is worth $3.5 billion, has vowed that he'll only run if the state's Republican Party rallies behind him and he faces no challengers for the nomination. "I've said it very clearly: If the Republican Party can unify and get their act together, I would spend the money and run," Trump said.

2. What, is he broke again? nt

[Gothmog]

3. Trump is trying to increase ratings for his NBC show

Ratings for this show were horrible in 2013 and Trump is worried that the show will be canceled or not renewed. Trump is trying to generate attention to help the ratings of this show

[SummerSnow]

28. He'll change his show to ,'The Apprentice: The Governor Chronicles

[bullwinkle428]

31. He does this every single year in the lead-up to the next season

of his show. It's become literally more predictable than the sun rising in the east, FFS!

[Gothmog]

32. Trump is very predictable

Trump really needs to improve the ratings for this show and so we can expect more stunts

[rurallib]

4. Imagine the papers digging in to his finances

Par-tee down reporters!

[DeadLetterOffice]

5. As an upstate New Yorker

...can I just say oh HELL no, lol.

[leftynyc]

21. Same from this downstater

He must be in that bubble Bill Maher talks about because I don't know one person - no matter their political persuasion - that doesn't think he's an asshole. I hope he does run - he'll get creamed and humiliated.

6. Go for it, you life-support system for a bad hair day!

Seriously, Donald, go for it. We need a good laugh.

[Auggie]

7. He doesn't have the patience or demeanor for a long campaign … forget it

[jmowreader]

8. We talked about this a few weeks ago

A serious run for political office would destroy him; pull-yourself-up-by-your-own-bootstraps Republicans won't like the number of times he's gone bankrupt, hardcore Christians don't want a guy whose money comes from sin, and he's fucked too many people who know how to find the phone number for the local paper's city desk.

[onehandle]

9. He is not a 'billionaire.' He has nothing near a billion. That's why he is a 'reality' show 'star.'

Sue me, scumbag.

10. If Hot Air Hair runs

New Yorkers will see an orange levitation all over the state

[catbyte]

11. Oh, stfu. Does he have another show to publicize?

[ELI BOY 1950]

12. STOP Stop stop

We have all been around long enough to realize that The Donald is a man of no political ambitions. It was funny 10 years ago but now it's annoying . Could the Donald balance the budget in the state of NY?
I think he was over his head when he had to make the choice between firing Gary Busey or Cheech Marin…

Let's stop talking about Mr. Trump…let's use this forum to move forward

[muntrv]

13. Translation: Watch new season of "The Apprentice."

[yellowcanine]

14. "I'm the only Republican who can win. I think I would win easily."

[irisblue]

15. hehehehehehehehehehe....

::wipes eyes:: he is such a putz....hehehehehe

[Redford]

16. He needs to get over himself

The rest of us did a decade ago

[olddad56]

17. celebrities have sort of been a bust at holding public office.

Trump isn't even an actor like Arnold and Ronnie Reagan. Notice that dick heads are always republicans. I guess the qualifications for running as a member of the GOP is "no experience necessary".

[Monk06]

18. Maybe David Letterman should invite him on the show and throw footballs at him again ....

like the last time with Squirrel Head standing on the roof of the building next door in the freezing cold.

[davidpdx]

19. The day Trump actually files to run for office

(any office) I will run around city hall naked. Pictures guaranteed! You can bank on it!

[DeSwiss]

20. ''If the wind's blowing right, I'll run......''

[trusty elf]

[pauliedangerously]

34. Maybe I've just missed out on Donald Trump Photoshopping....

...but that's one of the funniest goddamned things I've ever seen....and of course the frosting on the cake is the thought bubble. Hats off!!!

[trusty elf]

35. Hey, Thanks!

I'm glad you found it funny!

I can't take credit for "we shall overcomb" bubble though. I swiped that from the internet.

[dipsydoodle]

23. Couldn't run a tap.

Faucet to most of you.

[warrant46]

24. I'm sure the topic of Kenya will come up repeatedly

[SummerSnow]

26. Oh I see, he needs attention again...

I think he should get a mohawk .lol

[sendero]

29. I could be wrong..

... but I just don't see Donald Trump ever getting elected to anything. He's a singularly annoying asshole even if you agree with him.

[SamKnause]

30. Will New York

elect a "business man" who has declared bankruptcy 4 times ?

I think not.

He can not run on his "business history," or his "family values history".

[Freddie Stubbs]

33. Every few years he threatens to run for President
