I don't know...... I agree with most of what you say but I am beginning to think he may not drop out.

It has gotten too big now..... his poll numbers are an adrenalin fix for him now.  He needs more and more.

Even if he wanted "out" I think he doesn't have a viable exit strategy.  He would have mud all over his face.

I think he has passed the point of "no return".....   He is committed.   And I don't think he is looking for an "out".

Look back at any election excluding Reagan, who is always the exception.
No candidate took the lead 16 months out and held it, the last month will be the deciding factor in the election, and Trump won't be in the running.

That and his money look good on paper.  I would say his vast majority of money is locked up in business deals.

Speaking of Business deals....I wonder how many illegal aliens are working on Trumps real estate projects....

Good point, he does not have millions in cash just to throw away, as you point out, most of his money is leveraged in real estate and held as collateral towards other investments, he has no real legal right to most of it.

This incident aired on our local WORD cons radio station this afternoon.  i almost fell out laughing at Vince Copley who was the emcee.  He got money penny (an aide) to call the number that Graham gave him.  The phone was answered (not changed after all these years) by answering machine and the mail box was full.  Bet that number will be changed tomorrow.  I also bet that Graham won't take any more pot shots at Trump either.   

Got to admit he is comic relief!

I know who isn't on that list who damn sure isn't a Hero and that is TRUMP

Trump is a DRAFT DODGER who got five student deferments and then some type of 4 f status over "bone spurs" or some idiotic thing.

Trump has no standing to talk about McCain or anybody else for that matter in my book....and no way I would ever vote for Trump to begin with not because of this little te a te either.

I agree completely.

"I wonder"

So you don't know. When you know, let us know.

In the rarefied world of New York moguls, Rupert Murdoch never thought much of Donald J. Trump.

Mr. Trump's divorces and marriages sold newspapers, but beyond that, Mr. Murdoch had no time for his bombastic business style and ostentatious demeanor. "Phony" was how Mr. Murdoch often described him to friends.

There was the time Mr. Trump screamed that he would sue for libel after Mr. Murdoch's New York Post reported that the exclusive Maidstone golf club in East Hampton planned to deny Mr. Trump a membership.

Then there was the awkward aftermath of Mr. Murdoch's own high-profile divorce from Wendi Deng Murdoch, when Mr. Trump's daughter Ivanka, unlike many New York society figures, remained loyal to Ms. Deng Murdoch, a close friend.

So you're still WONDERING, and don't KNOW.

The Dems employed the same tactic to undermine Romney. Can ANY large business owner guarantee something like that? I think not under our current system.

but Trump,and he is in it for the ego boost and for a cash payoff down the line. No way he actually wants to win because he would be banned from doing any of his scams the whole time he would be in office.

As someone else wrote on another board a few days ago,"Trump might make an excellent Sec of the US Treasury,though. There is nobody that knows more about bankruptcy than Trump,and America is virtually bankrupt."

Trump is in it for a cash payoff................
Please

Don't forget Thailand...there is a huge American Expat Community in Thailand, there are at least three American ex soldiers in Thailand (still living in 2003)who are listed as MIA...they deserted...State Dept knows about them too....wont touch two of them as they became Monks living in a monestary which is inviolate in Thailand.

The government is embarrassed by the numbers (the prez ran the war). They rely on the word MIA and this makes people look the other way.

The man behind the Trump campaign.........  very much like Trump himself......
