    Donald Trump is the only Republican candidate who, I think, is capable of carrying out his promises.

    He announced today that he is, after years of flirting with the idea, officially running for president.

    I am officially backing Trump for America! Make America great again! :flagus:

    He is?

    Are you SURE that will be his "big announcement"???



    (BTW, I'm curious why a "conservative" would use actor Richard Schiff, apparently as his character "Toby Zeigler"...who was an ardant progressive on "The West Wing"....as his avatar photo?)

    Politics aside, I feel his pain in dealing with morons.

    Also, despite his progressivism, Toby was very critical of Islam, which I can empathize with.

    He is a brilliant self promoter. But President? I don't know. And believe me I support his economics and support for business and growing the economy and creating jobs and opening trade. But would he make a good President and be able to work within government and get his own ego out of the way............I don't know.

    Trump knows he will never be elected, he just likes the attention.

    Like he kept his promise of proving that Obama's birth certificate was a fake and that his private investigators were in Hawaii gathering evidence...FOUR YEARS AGO...:roflol:

    If these guys are getting paid by the hour, they are worth more than Trump...LOL

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Thank you I needed the laugh today.

    Here's a good joke for today............Donald Trump running for president :roflol:

    I really don't know what's worse, Donald Trump running for president or his supporters thinking he would do a good job.

    ...or his supporters actually believing that his intentions are genuine. He will drop out before he actually has to officially disclose his personal crap. This is a publicity stunt and anyone with even a modicum of intelligence gets it.

    The government official, the one that died mysteriously later, would not allow the "original" to be validated by objective document experts! The BC presented was an authentic copy of a phony document!

    A birther supporting another birther...how unique. How's Orly Taitz doing these days? I wonder if Trump will pick her for his VP.

    Did Trump's fictitious private investigators die mysteriously too?

    That was a very weak post, but understandable since you don't have much else.:roflol:

    1. Never have been happier to have been wrong in my life. I'm sure Jeb is happy too.


    2. Odd I don't recall "Toby" calling all Muslims terrorists or terrorist supporters...as the Islamophobic Right do????

    - - - Updated - - -

    Simple paradigm...

    Birthers are racist whites who cannot accept that a black man "legitimately" became President of "their" country.

    Period...full stop.

    Even Ann Coulter compared them to the Klan.

    You're obviously a bonafide birther and you call someone else's comments weak? Now that is too ironic to even be funny.
    Where are Trump's private investigators? Are they dead too?

    What does Trump's P.I.s have to do with it? The "Original" document should have been allowed to be examined by objective document experts, and that did not happen! Am I talking to a wall, or is diversion your only tool?

    What bias do you think a republican had? Because his BC was validated by a republican.

    The copy was and there was an opinion issued. Where is the report of a panel of objective original document experts? I just like the truth, and I don't enjoy being gullible like most.:cool:

    Only a birther takes another birther seriously, therefore I will not enter into an utterly ridiculous debate with you on the subject. Obama was born in the USA of an American mother and is about to finish up the final term of his legit presidency. You will have to get your jollies elsewhere if you want to indulge yourself.

    I'll ask again, what bias did a republican have? Because his BC was validated by a republican.

    Everybody supports those things. He just doesn't know how to do it.

    I also supported his too-big-to-fail bailout by his bankers when he was $billions underwater.

    That's a cheap throwaway line for people too afraid to commit to supporting a candidate....or too partisan to criticize him.

    Charles Manson could run for the GOP Nomination and you'd say "Better than Hillary or Obama!"....

    most of SANE America might not agree though.

    It's a lame excuse for somebody who doesn't want to support a Republican who is foolish or silly...or even might lose...and thus link that defeat to the person supporting them...


    or for a partisan to avoid criticizing a silly or foolish Republican candidate and thus anger his/her "political allies" who might support the candidate....or simply trying to avoid saying ANYTHING bad about a Republican.
