        And why does he even have a ridiculous show? Because he needs the money.

            How does one lose money in the casino business when the odds are stacked against the customers? The suckers are supposed to lose the money - not the house.

          The sickest part of the joke, from what I read on another site, is that Donald McFollicle thinks he would crush the President in a debate.

      Now that is sad.

      Really, really sad.

      The people are now unable to vote for their hero, the personification of all that is good and healthy in America.

      Really?

      No, I don't think so.

        It must be a tough decision for Donnie. President of the US or loud mouth phony on a crappy tv show must leave him at loggerheads(whatever they are).
        Fox needs at least some talent. This is just sad.

            Boxtop,

            The stomach-ache comes from reading your posts.

            It is sad that your skills of critically thinking about every piece of information that we are bombarded with each day are washed-out.

            Here is why you believe what you see on TV to be true just because it is piped into your house.

            Boxy, I want Obama to win, because:
            1) My retirement account which was cut roughly in half due to Bush's failed economic policies is almost back to where it was prior to the crash.
            2) Less than 50% of our oil is foreign supplied (it was about 60% under Bus). This means less of our money is being funneled to terrorists.
            3) The man responsible for killing 35 Syracus University students and one of my college friends (from a different college) on Pan Am 103 is no longer around at a cost to us of about 1 week of the Iraq war.
            4) He doesn't want to go back to failed GOP economic policies of the past 30 years (actually, the current candidates represent even worse policies than Shrub) that have left us with huge deficits and a gutted middle class.
            5) OBL is missing an eye and sleeping with the fishes.

      Many older conservatives look at the list of front runners, Trump, Perry, Cain, Bachmann, Gingrich, and are sickened by what has become of the Republican party.

      Mr. Obama said it best last year at the Press Club Dinner. Pointing out Trump in the audience, he said that Trump decided to keep Gary Busey and to fire Meatloaf on the Apprentice and that those kinds of decisions would keep him (Obama) up at night. Cool, Mr. President!

      Oh that just sucks for the rest of us... the comedic fodder for Trump's Presidential run would be epic.

      btw... Mr. Trump, I want a President who is dedicated to leading our great nation, not one who thinks it's a good gig but not willing to sacrifice his current gig to do it.

      Not allowed? Rubbish. He couldn't host the show while he was running but that doesn't mean the show would have to end. He never was and never will be a serious candidate. It's all shameless self promotion.

      I believe that there is something disingenuous about Mr. Trump. He had the chance to not renew his show last year so that he could run for president. He preferred to renew his show. I would have preferred that he not renew his show, fail as candidate, then stand out on the street with a sign that says "Will fire you or anyone else smarter than me for food."

      It would be just plain funny if the Democrats would try to push a bill allowing for a one time exception to the rules so that Trump could run and do his show without conflict.

        If Trump actually wanted to run he would just get someone else to host the show.

      No, you can run. You just can't expect to be allowed to stay on the TV machine unless you want to pay for the air time for your opponents to have equal access. No reason why NBC should. Besides you claim to be such a successful business man, losing your TV gig shouldn't hurt you financially.

      Thanks to one of the few remaining restrictions on the media!
