Just got home to see more of his out of control egotistical, idiotic, thoughtless, banter again. Trump gave out another candidates personal cell phone to the public and called another a *******.

He has zero substance to anything he says ..... ask for specific plans and strategies and he goes on the attack thoughtlessly rambling like a crazed lunatic. This guy is all about the attention he's getting. Maybe he needs more Viagra.

His opponents have no need to beat him out of the race ...... he's doing a good job himself.

If anything this is going to be great entertainment watching Trump's campaign, don't take him too seriously.

But now he's actually a front runner.

I bet his wife is with him because he's either good looking, charming or intelligent right? er .....wait .... yeah ....... he is rich. lol.

I agree people would like a leader who is direct and not scripted - but they also want a intelligent and strategic leader as well. This guys a time bomb.

Are there no normal, sensible candidates out there who could tell it like it is, take a firm stance on issues, yet intelligently explain the path to get there???

Quickest way to get Hilary elected is that have Trump on the ballot, either as a Republican or as an independent.

Is Trump a good candidate because he has a well thought out and articulated plan to address the multitude of issues the US is facing domestically and internationally?

Or.

Is Trump appealing to your opinion and emotion by saying what you want to hear?

If it's too good to be true, it's probably snake oil. Beware the salesmen.

There are a few. John Kasich and Scott Walker, Ben Carson, Huckabee to name a few that seem to be rather straight talkers.

As has been said already, Trump's popularity at the moment, regardless of his antics, is demonstrating just how sick and tired people are of the Washington establishment on both sides and politicians in general. Everything has gotten completely out of hand crazy.

Hard to read if he actually has a strategy at this point, he hasn't made anything much in the way of a coherent speech yet. He is firing in all directions, on all the talking points that torque people in the US, and maybe elsewhere, to a point. He definitely stirred things up on McCain, that may have been a mistake, but, there are a lot of people who are ROV vets who support him, not so much in the Navy air corps though. There are people who may think McCain was a "hero", that hate his politics, and support Trump's politics, so far. And don't respect his statement, or him for it, as he never served.
I want to see him start on Clinton, there again, "he likes her, she is a friend". Could be Benghazi will jump up and bite her yet. Some people are accusing him of being a rat in the woodpile over that. I guess we will see it play out, it will be entertaining. The biggest fear seems to be him going independent, that would probably not be a good idea from the look of it, so far. It is very early yet.

Default Winning Ticket: Trump as President and Carly Fiorina as Vice President

I have been studying American politics since the early 1980's and believe That Trump, at this point in time is the best choice for President.

With 44% of the registered voters not voting in the last election cycle, all Trump have to do is to appeal to the disenfranchised, the Silent Majority and also win a decent percentage of the regular voters that always vote and he will win.

Career politicians are so indebted to their constituents and financial contributors that empower them through Super PACs that they are not in a position to make decisions that are in best interest of the average American, hence the financial gap between the 1% and the middle class which have been decimated over the last 30 years. All the politicians are doing these days is managing and contributing to the decline of America. It has to stop, otherwise the USA will become another Greece and a third world nation instead of a super power.

It has also been very disconcerting to see the liberal media trying their very best to try and write Trump off as a viable candidate and have been actively doing their very best to discredit him to include Wolf Blitzer of CNN and Chuck Todd of Meet the Press and NBC. It makes me very sick to see the media trying to sway the electorate instead of just reporting the news, unbelievable and scary!!!!!

The American people are sick and tired of the Professional Political Class, words and gestures, inaction, speeches, horrible trade deals, stupid immigration policies, abandoned Vets and corruption which IMO is why Trump is earning so much traction. What the American public need now is a leader that has a ton of business experience, someone that is not hamstrung by financial backers/contributors and lobbyists and does not cave like a cheap tent and isn’t afraid to get into a fight because he is overtly Politically Correct.

The best ticket to right the sinking U.S.A. ship would be Trump as President and Carly Fiorina as Vice President. Both of them are supremely intelligent, they are not part of the Professional Political Class and know how to balance the budget and operate a business.

What a breath of fresh air that would be, instead of a community organizer that wants to sound like Martin Luther King Jr. experiment, or an old hack like Hillary Clinton that does not know how to tell the truth if it slapped her across her fat and sagging butt!

What is Trump's plan? Anything in writing a guy can read that's not transcripts of his impromptu narcissism?

Trumps narcissism is not impromptu, it is deeply ingrained. If you do some research on people that are narcissistic you will discover that most people that are very successful are narcissists by nature. It is what it is.

His plan is as blatant as his narcissism.

Tougher immigration laws
Tougher dealings with the Middle East terrorism
Rebuild the economy

These are the most important issues in America now.
How he's going to do it? ..... I dont know.

But I want to see that Great Wall of Mexico get built lol

I love watching that guy give speeches.
His comments and outward physical expressions are priceless

Those are statements not plans - there's a big difference.

Until I hear something approaching a reasonably coherent and intelligent plan with substance - he will remain simply train wreck entertainment for me.

Good news is I'm stocked up on popcorn. Bad news is, if he wins, the influence on Canada will be significant.

This I agree with - lobby groups and contributors do, in fact, direct the policies and subsequent outcomes based on their ability to control a candidate or politician because the politician is indebted to them. This is 100% true.

The problem is Trump is indebted to his own narcissistic view of himself, his ego and the sound of his own voice. That is dangerous. Kinda like having the "button" installed on his desk, anything that sets him off will cause him to slam his fist on the button without thinking causing his country more problems in the long run.

That's the real issue here.

Recent poll found 62% Americans would not vote for Trump. Republicans will elect a leader that has a chance.

Latest poll as of yesterday, even after the McCain Comment (after McCain called 15,000 American "Crazies") is Trump lapping the field and with a double digit lead. In Iowa in the lasted poll a couple of days ago has Trump in the lead!

Think about this. NBC BEGGED Trump to do another year of the Apprentice, he refused because he decided to run for election. His annual salary for doing the Apprentice was $213,000,000.00 per year!!!!!!!

All of these Political Class Politicians, would quit their political position in a heartbeat to make that kind of money, not Trump. Why? Because Trump is a stud and the other political turnip heads are duds! LMAO

If he is on the ballot either as a Republican or independent, as I've suggested before it would be the easiest way for Hillary to be elected. Those cheering Trump on might want to consider that.
