Jesus.......

How many clowns can we fit in this car?

The presidential process has become a reality show...........



According to MSM, about 40% of Republicans are not happy with the Republican field.

Hence calls for Gov's Christie and Palin to enter as it's still early on with only 4 states voting so far.


As for the Paul/Trump ticket a previous poster mentioned, I"D LOVE TO see that, but don't think the Donald could stand to be 2nd fiddle.

It turns out that Donald Trump’s recent talk about a White House bid was more than just talk, in fact his top political adviser told ABC News on Monday, “I have spoken to many high-level political operatives, campaign managers, finance directors.”



Looks like he may be getting in!

Question is, will he re-enter as a Repub and change his mind on that?


Awesome find! In speculating...

Maybe he's going to go Independent and really shake things up? Hell, why not? As BH and Mask said, this race has become quite the show.

It's better if Paul just stays away from Trump, you don't want Pauls image to be tainted by Trump. Paul needs to steer clear of anything that will affect him negatively.

Well, there are many speculative stories popping up right now. Several say he'll endorse Gingrich, others say Romney , and a few have insiders quoted as he'll be running himself.

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Probably why he said in the OP's screenshot, that he'd be arriving in Vegas tonite, complete with the time , so the press will be flocking there to try and get the SCOOP!!

The Donald doesn't announce that he is running for anything, he will notify you that he is not only your president but your vice president as of tomorrow evening.

Spot On! I think you should write a set of Chuck Norris style "rules" for The Donald.

Another source making it seam he's going to make an endorsement announcement...


Trump told ABC News yesterday that he would make an endorsement in the GOP race "in a very short time." He has been keeping his options open for a third-party bid, but told ABC's George Stephanopoulos that he'd "rather endorse a great candidate that's going to do a great job and win the election and become a great president."

That would be my bet and adheres to the laws of DONALDISM.
The first law of DONALDISM:
When you have nothing of importance to say ,act like you do and have extensive media coverage to announce that nothing of importance.

Second law of DONALDISM:
Get involved in any thing that is currently getting lots of media attention and act like your approval or comments mean something.

What chump. Trump, get a clue...you're irrelevant, you're old. No one cares about what you think.

Having said that I hope he does run.....there may be plenty of stupid Romney and Newt supporters that would probably go for him....


Some day you too will be OLD my Grasshopper. Act now while you have the light of day so that you may be as irrelevant as Trump is.

I think I'm outright starting to hate Donald Trump. Every time he appears on TV a kitten dies somewhere, I'm convinced.

Drudge is going with politico.com saying he's endorsing Newt.

www.politico.com...

And this is the benefit:

The endorsement gives Gingrich a needed dose of free media from the person who became the first to channel, in the GOP field, the desire by the grassroots to find a nominee who could take the fight to President Obama.



I'm sure Trump will garner all the attention he can. Oh well, this might get crazy. I think a Trump stump might do more harm than good, but what do I know? I never was a fan of his.

Maybe Republicans should consider accepting a more human, less 'ignorance and greed' stance on issues and they might find they attract more likable candidates.

It's difficult to find the right candidate to connect with people when candidates care more about corporations than people. Candidates who care more for the rich than the poor. Candidates who want to go to war rather than strive for peace. Candidates who would rather support Health Insurance companies right to stiff people and let them die, over affordable health care for everyone.

Try appealing to people of conscience. Try inspiring Republican voters to have a conscience. Try inspiring empathy and see if it helps generate a following.

Or maybe we just haven't seen enough D-Bags yet. Bring in Trump, Bring in Palin. Bring in more greed and then scratch your heads trying to figure out why sh*t isn't selling.

There are no rules for the Donald, the rules conform to the Donald.

Ok, I better stop now.

I seriously doubt that the Donald will announce that he will run for president cause it violates:
The third law of DONALDISM: Don't put yourself in a situation where you can lose in front of a large audience.

However, the interesting part is:
the fourth law of DONALDISM: Only publicly endorse or associate yourself with winners by having insider information of the outcome.

Which of course leads to the
The fifth law of DONALDISM: Anytime that something turns out positive that you were involved with , you must notify the world that it was because of your involvement that it turned out positive


I think the Donald is getting bad insider information if he picks Gingrich ,hence he is technically not going to break the fourth law of DONALDISM (but the rules conform to the Donald anyways) .

IMO their is an artificial virtual fight between Romney,Gingrich, and Obama anyways, so the lobbyist don't really care as long as its one of those puppets.

Although , Gingrich appears to be a little bit of a lose cannon, hence why I think they prefer Romney. However, America loves a virtual comeback from the virtual underdog. So they are making it an exciting virtual fight between Romney and Gingrich and as long as you pick one of them, they are golden.

Ron Paul has done a great deal of service for our country to get people to question if what the goverment is telling us does really make sense and to follow the money. It amazes me that everyone always says to follow the money except when it comes to politics. For some reason people believe their party is above temptation.

We need to keep Santorum in there just for the fact that he exposes Gingrich and Romney for what they are: Obama clones.
In the end it looks like its going to be another 4 more years of the same regardless.

Prediction: Say good bye to your internet freedom because of Ron Paul. He clearly has shown the cracks in their current system and I assure you they will be closed. Ron Paul is going to do to the internet what Ross Perot did to public debates.

BLah blah blahh...
