The guy has more dirty secrets he doesn't want exposed.

He's a serial monogamous. He trades in his wives every 10 years and then starts breeding with the new wives. I'm guessing he is soon ready for an upgrade for the latest wife since she is hitting 30 years old.

Conservatives will see his progressive stances and realize he's way too liberal on many of the issues, even if Trump has done a 180 on a few of those stances.

Progressives will see his overall records and realize he's an asshole.

If Trump runs he'll have to answer to all the fuck-ups he's done in his life including all the marriages, the cheating, Gaddafi camping on his property and of course, the many bankruptcies.

1. Hopefully he'll take Romney and Huckabee down with him
before he goes.

2. That's true - if he can split the votes you might see Palin or Bachman on the ticket
and that'll be a coast win for Obama.

4. He may not really be running in the end, but he is definitely an entity.
If he was still polling around 6-11% I might agree with you but he has managed to put himself into the lead.

It seems like Trump pretends to run every 4 years, the fact that he is getting serious traction with the republican base right now tells us a lot.

We would be advised to pay some attention to Trump, his antics, his polling on the right, and how the republican establishment responds to him. The dream of course would be for Trump to run as a third party and spend a few hundred million.

8. To be honest - this is a bit of premature ejaculation
If he did this NEXT year it might have an impact, but I give it another month and people will start tiring of the blowhard.

5. I watched O'Reilly last night have 2 conservatives on to discuss Trump and I actually agreed with
Andrea Tantaras (sp?).
She is loving Trump out there because she said Republicans need to let him talk because he is "taking it to Obama" and he can bring Obama's disapproval numbers up even if he doesn't run. I do think there is some truth to that.

10. Trump is nothing more than another Ross Perot.

This is nothing more than another publicity stunt for him. I can see right through this crap! However, if he wants to run then that's fine!

11. I think conservative $$ men are starting to see these people as sinks
That's why FOX has started to have a love/ hate with these people. Why is Trump running. Because he will make $$ from running. A lot of conservatives will be running for the sole reason of $ to be made from the process. I think conservative money men are cluing in to this and the fact a lot of conservative money will be poured into dead ins this election cycle. I don't think there's anything they can do. They got the ruling they wanted on unlimited money, now they get the main pain for there side from it. Unlimited non-candidates that will suck off the free money train.

12. I think he's just messing with everybody. Maybe he'll take his
show on the road like sheen (tongue in cheek smiley) did.

13. Oh, he's much more than that - He's a cartoonist's dream come true!
Especially when coupled with the Palinoid.
