    Actually, I don't think he has $billions to spend on a campaign.

    I think he also appeals to the segment of the population that would like to see the President calling people losers and assholes, bullying allies, making threats, and waving his dick around like the flag. Thankfully that segment is as small as Trump is a man.

    Agree, speeds. He appeals to the worst in people, the bullying, bragging, I've got mine screw you. Most people who are not sociopaths try to keep those baser impulses under control.

    What is it about these people? Do they ever listen to the music they use?

    Trump used "Rockin' in the Free World" - has he heard the lyrics? And then Neil Young points out that it was unauthorized and that he supports Bernie Sanders.
    Reagan had to be told that "Born in the USA" was not a jingoist anthem, and before that Chuck Berry's "Livin' in the USA" and "America" from West Side Story were similarly billed as patriotic anthem. I mean, listen to the damn songs!

    excerpts from
    http://www.startribune.com/donald-trump-the-worst-gop-headache-god-ever-created/307898271/

    Donald Trump has finally put his considerable money where his considerable mouth is...Outside of professional wrestling, no one mixes ego with bravado quite like Trump. He will be “the greatest jobs president that God ever created,” he announced Tuesday, while calling his rivals and critics “stupid” and “losers” (at least he didn’t call them fat and ugly).

    ...His announcement speech was heavy on saber-rattling toward China and Mexico. In Trump’s view, the two countries are destroying the American economy because U.S. leaders are terrible negotiators. Luckily, Trump knows “the smartest negotiators in the world” - he may even be one himself - who would do things like threaten auto manufacturers with massive tariffs if they move jobs overseas. This, despite pronouncing himself a supporter of free trade.

    Trump’s comments on Mexican immigrants (“They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists”) stood in sharp contrast to the inclusive tone that Jeb Bush set in his announcement speech on Monday. If the Republican candidate with the biggest megaphone is also the most hostile to Mexico, it will be difficult for the party to win over Hispanic voters.

    I had a piece of his speech thingy in Manchester today, there was a hysterical crazy person who freaked out and got tackled. Vermin supreme was there. I was working with a dude named Shitface, hes one of Trumps nh dudes. Crazy chest hair. We used 10 flags on stage, i dont know if you guys have seen them but there is a little thingy that spreads a flag on a flagpole to make it look bigger, but we only had 5 so we used clothes hangers on the rest.

    I don't remember Trump being quite this much fun last time around. I am very pleased.

    Here is a 44-second taste of the great speech. At the end you see the $50 actors in t-shirts.

    he is a real scumbag and I think most Republicans even realize that. He knows very well he has zero shot of winning, but he loves to see his name in print and to collect the money of idiots.

    Donald Trump's companies have sought visas to import at least 1,100 workers

    Donald Trump is staking his run for U.S. president in part on a vow to protect American jobs. But this month, one of his companies, the elite Mar-a-Lago Club resort in Florida, applied to import 70 foreign workers to serve as cooks, wait staff and cleaners.

    A Reuters analysis of U.S. government data reveals that this is business as usual in the New York property magnate's empire.

    Trump owns companies that have sought to import at least 1,100 foreign workers on temporary visas since 2000, according to U.S. Department of Labor data reviewed by Reuters. Most of the applications were approved, the data show.

    Nine companies majority-owned by Trump have sought to bring in foreign waitresses, cooks, vineyard workers and other laborers on temporary work-visa programs administered by the Labor Department.

    Ugh. Sly. It's you're job to drum up traffic on this site. I feel you can do better. How about a link to the latest in lingerie fashions using 21st century fibers?

    By no means am I endorsing Trump, but there seems to be a large difference between attempting to legally get people into the country to fill unfilled jobs and granting amnesty to those who came without visas, right?

    I think of Donalds Trump's presidential Candidacy as a fraternity prank between drunk Republicans. I mean, could you pick a better mark? That blow dried hair was Madison Avenue created to make necks bulge. Way to go GOP! Out me down for 50!

    You really think it's because he can't fill those jobs or is it because he can fill those jobs cheaper with immigrant labor?

    I'm kind of surprised he didn't also mention how well he was endowed.
