Oh man, it just hurts that a candidate is finally appealing to average Americans, doesn't it? He refuses to kiss the backsides of minorities, LGBTQRSTV(whatever), feminazis, any group really. He's pretty offensive to a lot of people. But a bunch of people like him, that's all that matters.
If he wins, or even keeps running for that matter, it's gonna hurt some special snowflakes feelings, break some racial grievance industry employees hearts.
It's so nice to finally see a man stand up and act like a man. Not a perfectly sensitive, perfectly balanced, trying to satisfy everyone politician.
People hate Trump cause he's a real man. Real men like Trump for the same reason.

Let me just float this notion...
Look at Trump's stated positions from before he began this sham of a campaign. He is on record, for example, as being against the ACA ( Obamacare for you Fox news folks ). This will get him a lot of approval...
Only his on record position is more nuanced... He is against the ACA because it lacks a single payer provision. He is for fully socialized medicine - like most other Western nations have.
Take a gander at this article - where a pollster literally gets "shaky knees" because Trump supporters are so dogmatic about Trump. It is a true cult of personality.
What if Trump really is smart. Smart enough to have read the landscape and deduced that insane rhetoric will cement him a win? What if he's read Machiavelli and Sun Tzu? What if he's saying what it takes to get elected - with no intention of building any walls... but, rather, of actually trying to make a difference.
What if The Donald is a progressive in wolfs clothing?
Hrm.

I tend to agree with you. Trump didn't get where he is by being stupid. He's smart. He may be going with the old adage that any press is good press. You'd have to be living under a rock in a 3rd world country to not know that Modern Family is a major hit show. By doing what he did, he's now put himself into millions more homes this evening. Be it good or bad it's still millions more than Jeb will be in.
Whether it will be enough for him to carry on successfully or not in the end remains to be seen.

The Kardashians also have a long running successful TV show. Should we consider one of them for president? And I remember Trump running in 2012. Did you vote for him then?
Dynasties aren't created by just one man, a man who inherited his fortune by the way. But sure, be a bamboozled voter. Voting with your passions has really done America well.

If this is the best that a potential POTUS can do by way of online retorts - the US is screwed.

Trump had an inheritance. That's not "earning his own fortune" or what ever it was you said. You get 40-100 million dollars from daddy, you better damn well not become a poor man.
I'm getting really tired of reading these comments from Trump lovers. Facts be damned. They're voting with their emotions. That's how we ended up with Obama.
Trump Plaza Associates, the company that runs the Trump Taj Mahal, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Delaware on Tuesday.

He's not smart. Maybe canny (big maybe), but he's not that smart. I think that any success that he's had is based on sheer belligerence. He is the king of chutzpah but that's the only thing out of the ordinary about him.

You realize he doesn't own the company. Wow are the hatred for trump amazes me. People try to attack him with things he has no control over. He doesn't own the company they liscenced his name. So they could use the trump towers logos. He even tried to sue them to have his name removed but it was under contract. Other then then paying him to use the name trump he has nothing to do with the company. By the way it's all in the article you posted next time before trying to attack someone with an article might want to read it.
ABC News reports that Trump businesses have actually gone through Chapter 11 bankruptcy four times - in 1991, 1992, 2004 and most recently in 2009.

Ok fair enough.
