Unlike Trump, Obama's the last one to dismiss anyone for incompetence. At least THAT much would change. Along with Trump's picture going onto the $10 bill.

Either that or the new $5 gold piece, The Donald.

You know it's gonna happen. Corporate branding meets government.

Trump reminds me of Ross Perot. One hell of a lot of common sense Americans wanted Ross to be their President. The press kept talking about his big ears, eventually grinding down the electorate. Oh, yeah, they called him crazy, too.

With Donald, its the hair. That's how official Washington and the wannabees plan to ultimately convince the electorate. Its about the comb over. Yeah, that's it.

hhmm.... at the current price of gold I would think that the denomination would have to be larger than $5..... which would require a magnifying glass!

But gold would definitely be more to Trump's liking than mere paper!!

Five dollar gold piece? Do realize just how tiny that would be?

They'll ignore Shrill's three cribs and Kerry's (and TUHrayza's) ketchup fortune, and go straight for the bucks behind Trump Towers. How can such an obscenely wealthy man (as opposed to obscenely wealthy woman) be allowed to prosper in capitalist America? How DARE he?

To all you Chump supporters. As a Conservative, can you honestly say you approve of these contributions?

Since the 1990 election cycle, the top 10 recipients of Trump's political contributions number six Democrats and four Republicans. Embattled Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.), who was censured last year by his U.S. House colleagues, has received the most Trump money, totaling $24,750. The most recent contribution from Trump to Rangel was a $10,000 gift during the 2006 election cycle.
In the most recent election cycle, Trump doled out $22,500 to political candidates, of which $16,200 benefited Democrats.
The top Republican recipient of Trump's money is Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) who has collected $13,600 from the billionaire magnate, the second most of any politician. Trump did not contribute to McCain during the 2010 election cycle, during which the former presidential candidate was facing re-election.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) is the recipient of $12,000 in Trump contributions, including $10,000 for his 2006 re-election campaign.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has received the fourth-largest amount of Trump's contributions, including $4,800 in the successful 2010 campaign against Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle. In total Trump has contributed $10,400 to Reid.
In 2010, Trump also contributed $4,000 to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who easily won re-election. Schumer has received $8,900 from Trump since the 1996 election cycle. Trump has also been generous to New York's other Democratic U.S. senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, who's received $5,850 in Trump money.
After McCain, the Republican with the largest amount of Trump's contributions is former Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.), who left office in disgrace in 2006 when his online solicitation of male House pages became known. Trump contributed $9,500 to Foley between the 1996 and 2006 election cycles.
Trump has also supported other notable politicians, including:

• $7,000 to former Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), the "liberal lion of the Senate"
• $7,500 to former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (R)
• $5,500 to Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) including $2,000 during his 2004 presidential run
• $5,000 to former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.)
• $4,000 to former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.)
• $2,000 to former President George W. Bush (R)
• $1,000 to then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.)

Gladly...
And there's soooo much more, like backing TARP, socialized medicine, or his massive tax increase on the rich.
Point is, this is not what Conservatives advocate, yet many are willing to overlook his leftist track record.
I stand behind what I've said all along, he's nothing but a lib in GOP clothing, in other words, a pure RINO.
Remember when McCain demanded a border fence during his 2012 election campaign? Trump is no different.

Solar...

You do realize that as a businessman, especially in New York City, Trump (like any business professional who wants to get anything done) needs to "grease the skids" on both sides of the aisle, right?

And, New York being a Liberal controlled town will need a considerable amount of grease on the "Left" skid, so to speak...

$4,000 to Chuck Schumer's 2010 campaign. Oh, I'm shocked. He must be a libb-er-al.

Get a grip. Peanuts! Peanuts to the monkeys. Greasing the egos. If he can own a politician for $4G, I'll hand it to him.

No! As a Conservative, I never went against my values for money and power, no true Conservative would, ever!
With that said, I like what Trump is doing, and I support his efforts, but never in a million years would I vote for the guy, it goes against my principles.

You can bank on, that if for some freak of nature he got the nomination, the base would stay home.

I'm for Trump.
The GOP will probably break their a$$ trying to find another loser.
That ok, I will vote third party again.
Hello Hot Lips.

Consider TEA a third party, except for the fact we're not competing with any party, instead, we're stealing an existing one.
Third party's will always fail, just ask the 20 plus in existence today.

Voting third party (commie) is better than not voting at all?
