I’ve been amazed at some of the support given to Donald Trump from readers and Republicans throughout the country. The man is a joke people. A complete and utter sham. Stop wasting precious time and support for this fraud.
A new poll supposedly shows that he is leading the pack….not so fast:
PPP took a sloppily-designed poll and is spinning it to make Republicans look as crazy as possible. This may be comforting to partisan Democrats (like, say, the people who work at PPP), but there’s no reason for the rest of us to take it seriously.
Mark Levin points out in the below audio how disingenuous it is for anyone to excuse the donations he gave to Democrats because “that’s what all businessmen do.”
Baloney.
February of 2010, as the Tea Party movement gained steam and we were fighting for every vote he gives money to Anthony Weiner. A year before that he gave to Schumer, Hillary Clinton, and Charlie Crist. Levin points out there was no money given to Rubio.
And this is the person Republicans want to get behind.
Insanity.

Levin:
…and the storyline that he puts out…we’re all supposed to go gaga for, is that he’s a businessman, he’s got businesses, this is what you do. I don’t understand what that means? That means, did you get something in return for these contributions? Because that’s a crime. So what do you mean, you do these things, this is what a businessman does. What does a businessman do? Make unprincipled contributions to some of the most left-wing losers in the nation who are undermining our country?
This is the new Tea Party candidate?
Why? Because he has the gift of gab? Because he talks tough now?
Explain how any of you can support a guy who says this:
“We must have universal healthcare,” wrote Trump. “I’m a conservative on most issues but a liberal on this one. We should not hear so many stories of families ruined by healthcare expenses.”
The goal of health care reform, wrote Trump, should be a system that looks a lot like Canada. “Doctors might be paid less than they are now, as is the case in Canada, but they would be able to treat more patients because of the reduction in their paperwork,” he writes.
The Canadian plan also helps Canadians live longer and healthier than Americans. There are fewer medical lawsuits, less loss of labor to sickness, and lower costs to companies paying for the medical care of their employees. If the program were in place in Massachusetts in 1999 it would have reduced administrative costs by $2.5 million. We need, as a nation, to reexamine the single-payer plan, as many individual states are doing.
On top of that he has full blown Bush Derangement Syndrome….I mean the list goes on and on.
As Beck said earlier about the birther argument…please just stop it.
@MataHarley:
Stupid is, as stupid does.
People like you with your kay sera sera voting attitude don’t belong anywhere near a voting booth.
Typical hausfrau.
@Ivan: Ivan, please note the words with capital letters. Assualt Weapons Ban That means it is an official act, not a separat action. Your ignorance is only exceeded by your display of it!
Yo… brown noser. Figured out that Perot’s political issue stands makes your Chump, Trump, look ever so slightly to the right of Obama yet? Or still learning how to read last month’s news?
Oh yes, nothing *QUE* sera sera about my 1992 vote. I wanted Perot. That is my voting right. Most especially when I don’t like the other two. But that Constitutional right may be just above you, and your ability to spell “Constitution”… or “right” or “Que”.
Or were they all typing errors, oh Mr. Dim Bulb?
Ivan,
In the unlikely event that Trump did go 3rd party, would you cast your vote for him?
@thebronze #2:
and
@Aqua #36:
I agree with MataHarley that this issue is a distraction that only benefits Obama. Not hurts him. In my opinion, he wants to keep the issue alive because it makes our side look like kooks to those in the squishy center.
@retire05 #69:
Did more conservatives sit out the ’08 election than cast their votes? What uber-conservative candidate would have won in ’08 against Obama- 1st “African”-American president- out of the pick of the litter fielded during the primaries?
What the hell do you want? Your choice for now. A community welfare seeker or a casino operartor?
Why Trump is no Ross Perot
http://washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/2011/04/why-trump-no-ross-perot
Philip Klein pretty much calls it as He sees it. I concur. It is still early in the time frame for the Campaign and the Speculators are generally wrong this early. While we’re at it anyone want to predict the winner of the 2012 Kentucky Derby?
@Wordsmith, what may be the more interesting question is if Ivan voted for his conservative icon, Pat Buchanan, and the Reform Party in 2000. Or does he only pay lip service to his conservative heros?
@oil guy from alberta, short answer? Neither. Trump’s face time and appeal would disappear if the MSM got a clue, and started pumping him on how he’d deal with the universal healthcare/o’healthcare he supports, and any repeal that shows up on the POTUS desk. Take careful note, he does not broach that subject in his interviews willingly.
@Old Trooper 2, Perot was “tea party” before there was a tea party. Actually, it’s almost prescient, reading his issue platforms back then.
Trouble is, he was also wacko. Since he was well in the lead over both Clinton and Bush, I think he got cold feet thinking he might actually win. Reality is, the closest Bush got in the polls to Clinton was 6 points down after a convention bump. After that, he was a double digit loser thru to the election. Exit polls following the election showed that with Perot’s re’entry, and in a three way race, Bush was still down 11%. In a two way race with Clinton, he was down 13% to Clinton. Perot siphoned off both parties, not just the GOP.
While we can’t effectively see a parallel universe with any certainty, electoral analysts say Bush wouldn’t have won that election under any circumstance. It was one of those years, like many, where the choices between clown to the left and joker to the right were simply unpalatable to so many.
The ups and downs of ensuing history showed that Clinton’s term and the never ending Dem majorities in both chambers of Congress gave us Newt and the midterm turnover. Then, of course, they blew it too.
But of couse, there is yet to be a Congress or POTUS in the past century that hasn’t upped spending and debt every Congressional session. Both parties are addicted to spending other people’s money. So it’s quite disingenuous for the Ivan’s of the world to put the onus on a single party… especially one who’s only held the House majority 9 sessions out of 39 total Congressional sessions since the New Deal era.
But then, Ivan doesn’t like the Dems, detests the GOP, considers Buchanan to be the conservative poster boy and is a Trump’s chump. But he also rails against voting 3rd party.
Reconcile that, and all you get is a bitter, unfocused man with no solutions, who simply likes to listen to himself whine.
Sunday Methodist sermon Quote from J.C. on Good Thursday “If you puff yourself up too much you will get the wind knocked out of you.” As a moderate Dem. I’ve always considered Word and Mata the most rational and intelligent voices of Conservatism at F.A. They say Trump is a chump. Nuf said
Exit Q. Where’s A.C.?
YES where is AYE CHIUHAHUA, I was thinking the same, lately.
@MataHarley:
Exactly the point I’ve been trying to make to Ivan. As well as his hypocrisy. You simply cannot lambast the other commenters here for making posts criticizing Obama and the dems, and who do not comment directly on the GOP’s failures, by only blasting the GOP, and not giving criticism against the left, as Ivan has done. He rails against conservatives blaming Obama and disregarding the GOP, while he rails against the GOP and disregards Obama. Doesn’t work that way.
And, as a semi-apologetic move on my part for various posters here, I haven’t heard any of them state, in absolution, that Obama and the dems, and ONLY Obama and the dems, are responsible for the current economic mess our country is in.
Yvan, you hit the 100 comment, that’s what you where after all along, we gave it to you,
now behave. like a CONSERVATIVE, TOLERANCE AND CLASS. that’s what you find here,
only the NON CONSERVATIVES MAKE TROUBLE HERE AT FA
Donald Trump = Ross Perot = Obama re-elected in 2012.
I suspect that Trump is an Alexrod plant and that he stands in line to make a bundle after the election, just like Imhelt.
Paul Is Alexrod playing for the Yankees? Just kidding. Don’t think “The Donald” a Dem. plant, just a belligerant narcissist, who’ll drop out early, crying foul like most bullies. He won’t run as Indie.
@MataHarley:
Yeah, I was wondering about his own track record on voting for president in past elections.
@rich wheeler:
I have a hard time believing he’d even seriously run for president, period.
If he does, maybe Vince McMahon (or wife Linda, who did run for Senate last yr and might again) should be his VP….*snicker*
Yup, real presidential material here…very dignified…much more preferable to Beltway Republican clowns.
Word Linda for veep (woo the Palin gals)
Vince (Sec.of Defense.)
Sec.of State He loves Hillary
Secs of Treasury His 3 wives Then they won’t spend HIS money
Secs of Education Don Jr and the beautiful Ivanka He spent boatloads on theirs
Other suggestions?
@rich wheeler:
I’ve spoken to him via email last month. He’s been very busy with his business and traveling a lot. No time to get online it appears.
Thanks Curt Glad A. C. is well and staying busy. I miss his insightful and humorous commentary.
CURT, thank you also from me, I was thinking this week of him not having been here for a good while,
HE is busy, that sound good to me, best to you AYE CHIHUAHUA, It took me a long time to write
your name properly, I sure don’t want to forget it now,
I never forget how you took my side the first time I came and miserably try to give a comment,
with a disable english pattern that had no head or tail, I will never forget that one.
best to you
Donald Trump’s Solution on Gas Prices: Get Tough With Saudi Arabia; Seize Oil Fields in Libya and Iraq?

OLD TROOPER 2, hi, IT seems so easy to talk about it,
but the challenge to do it seems impossible to do in my view,
bye
@Old Trooper 2….oh boy
@ilovebeeswarzone: lovebeeswarzone says: 112
And people who put the American public before Obama/Boehner’s crony capitalistic society. Those people are the most troublesome!
;->
@johngalt:
I have said it time and time again that speechifying against the Democrats is a waste of time. They are like the worst gang of drug dealers the US has seen.
Yes, Democrats are dumb/evil.
There, feel better?
Now, I hold the Republicans to a much higher ethical code than most of the posters here at FA. They really are pathetic how they give Boehner aka “Cry baby” a pass for his budget-busting profligate spending plans.
I don’t.
Think of it this way: when you see a homeless man(Democrats) stumbling down the street with a needle stuck in his arm you think,”oh lordy, there he goes again on another binge.”
When I see the cop (Republicans) stumbling down the street drunk and with a needle stuck in his arm I get alarmed.
You guys apparently don’t.
@ Curt, That interview puts Diplomacy and US Foreign Policy on a New Level, and NO, I quite frankly do NOT want Trump answering that 3 AM Phone Call.
The last thing I want to do is get into a debate with a few of the people posting on this thread but I’ve seen some interviews on youtube of Trump and he is the wrong guy. Now a lot of people liked some of his staments a few weeks back, after listening to a interview of his with Laura Ingram I thought he might be the guy. I don’t watch TV or pay attention to celebrates, I did read a book of trumps on real estate investing and enjoyed it. I had no idea he was as popular as he is, never watched his show.
A lot of people had opinions on DT before I did but what changed my mind was his recent interviews about middle east policy, specifically Iraq/Afghanistan. He has even changed his stance on the subject saying he will only stay if he gets the oil… Well not everything is about oil.
This birth certificate argument has really gone on a long time and is not a political ideology.
On top of that a country should be represented abroad by soldiers. They seem to be the only part of the government people can count on to uphold freedom. Politicians are just part of the problem. I think its reasonable to ask that a president have served his country.
I may not vote in 2012, I just don’t know yet.
@Ivan:
You just don’t see how you are appearing here, do you? You might have said, in your post #124, that you think democrats are dumb, but in your post attacks on others here, your focus is entirely on the GOP.
One reason that is a wrong attitude to take is the votes of the GOP on Obama backed legislation. Other than a few token RINO votes, like the Maine Witches, very few Republicans have voted in favor of Obama’s legislation, like Stimulus or Obamacare.
Another reason that is the wrong attitude to take is the 2010 midterm elections, in which TEA Party backed GOP candidates did quite well, even winning some races. Those were true fiscal conservative candidates that won, and that was evidenced by the votes on the 2011 fiscal budget that just passed. The problem you run into to is including all Republicans within the group you rant about. I agree that the GOP leadership is ineffective, currently, and was nothing more than a dem-lite alternative, during Bush’s years in office, but that is no reason to castigate everyone who currently resides under the ‘R’ banner.
Hey Curt:

Don’t you love how Trump RIPS INTO THE MSM???
Something the current crop of Republicans, especially Palin, doesn’t have the balls to do.
Actually, the average Republican candidate is too busy kissing MSM ASS to do a decent interview.
What a pit-bull. What a fighter.
@Ivan:
What a fraud, what a joke, what a Democrat…
CURT, YES a pitbull unpredicteble, you nener know when HE will jump at your throath,
I can’t believe how silly and totally irrelevent all you people are…step away from faux news and the internet! Guys…you’re entitled to your own opinions, but you don’t get to make up your own facts. (your party…not intended to be factual…) Do you have any idea what a laughing stock the Republicans and Teabaggers are becoming?? People, real people are getting sick and tired of being on the wrong side of the issues, and distracted by the smoke screens, the shrill idiocy of Palin and Bachman- voting against their own best interests. Did anyone hear Paul Ryan get slapped down today in a town hall meeting? This by his own people. Rats leaving the sinking ship! Maybe we should talk about Gov. Rick Perry, who hates the Feds but has his hand out for FEMA relief! How many of you people realize that the value of what you are taking from the government far surpasses what you are paying in taxes. What you pay- not what Bof A or GE or Exxon pays. They pay zip. Oh, no…Starve poor people and hand out corporate welfare. Stupid Republicans…Where are the jobs that the Bush tax cuts were supposed to stimulate? What short memories you have…remember what the economy looked like when Bush took office? Smile and say Surplus! 8 years of repos gave us tax breaks for the wealthiest, shipping jobs overseas, unfunded wars – and you braintrusts are too dumb to see reality. You just live in your vacuum and stay tuned into fox. If Glen Beck or Rush says it, it must be true!!! Idiots.
Never mind, this is why you all are going to get your a**es kicked in 2012. Dumb as a bag of hammers!
@Nikki Ross: Troll much?
Nikki Ross you are talking about the DEMOCRATS, exactly,

What if it is finally realized that war and military spending is always destructive to the economy?
@Choose Liberty: As destructive as having a country that speaks German or Japamese? What a dumb comment. War and military spending when balanced provides the security that an economy needs to prosper. You must have majored in the liberal liberal arts!
