I don't think Trump will convince more people than this. Not many that would vote Jeb would change over to Trump. ie 22 percent of the Rep like him, i don't think that will increase.
And i still kinda expect him to give a press conference to tell us it was all a joke and thanks for the publicity or see the democratic process is a bad system.
YouMeUs: I hear ya. After seeing the last couple elections and what was offered, you're not very far from the truth at all. And now it's even worse with the candidates we get to choose from.
They're getting it so fixed that it's not going to matter how many people's votes are cast on a candidate anyway, the electoral votes will override for another. We the people are not the puppetmasters.
What is so so sad too YouMeUs is that they the political figures maybe come out the winners but we the people only lose in the end.
Years back when my son was in his first year of his High School years I attended his Open House and heard the science teacher say that there weren't enough class books to go around.That the reminder of the students who didn't get one would have to either borrow one of their classmates or do the assignments during class time.Something is totally wrong with that picture.Our government could find funding to attack other countries and run/ruin their lives but they can't find funding to make sure that our children get the education that they rightfully deserve.It shouldn't be that way in the Good Ole USA.

What is Trump going to tell all of us in the USA 'You're fired'.?

They can find the funding, but their priorities lie elsewhere. I'm sure that those billions that were spent on useless cow research and methane gas would have been better served in our educational systems.
Point blank, our U.S. government and all its branches are very wasteful with the dollar. And very little if any of what they're wasting it on is beneficial to we the people.

Wouldn't that be something? You just may be right. He doesn't need any more money that's for sure. Big mouth guys like him crave attention and notariety and power. I'm looking forward to the day when Trump a New Yorker, and Cristie from New Joisey get into a heated debate, that should be a brawl because NY & NJ don't have much respect for each other. Two very aggressive types.
Ccincy: People should never say never. People thought that we would never have a black President and look what happened we got one.It is early in the political games and Trump just may end up being President.
I have heard some people say that here in the USA that we need someone who is tough on the issues well Trump may be the man. Small surprises can come in Big packages.
I am not sure I'd call Trump a "small" surprise, but I watched the full video of the incident with Ramos and Ramos was not only in the wrong but extremely rude. Trump later granted him permission to come back in. I would have thrown him our a lot sooner. That Ramos is an influential journalist and Trump threw him out is exactly why Trump could win. He is immune to influence. That is a good thing in a sense.
I think a lot of people like him not for the reasons foreigners think, but because he "can't be bought" He isn't owned by special interests. He will stand up to special interests (corporations and raced based like Ramos) and enforce the laws and balance the budget. I agree that the thing that most hurts his chances is that he is not a Washington insider.

Felix they always give a great performance but then later lower the boom once they get elected.
I trust none of them.It is called 'voter beware or very scared.
stringman: I still think some how some way America will be stuck with Obama. hope not though.
That's not possible without changing the Constitution and that's not going to happen.
As a life long Democrat I'm generally pleased with Obamas performance given the bag of s__t he was handed when he took office, although I would like to see some of that Chicago toughness come out if there is any inside him when it comes to Isis. (I would also like to see the entire Bush administration behind bars right now for the lives they cost and total mess they made instead of walking around enjoying the good life.) I know most people don't want a repeat of the debacle Bush started by sending troops back to the Middle East but these people are murderous barbarians that need to be wiped off the planet. Maybe Trump would do that who knows? I think this is why he appeals to a lot of people.

No, it is possible for Obama to take a 3rd term. All it takes is to have an upsurge in civilian unrest (which can be staged) before election day and to declare Martial Law. As long as ML is in effect the current president shall remain in office.
This is exactly what some people are fearing will happen, and perhaps what Stringman was referring to in his post.

OOBy I learned from my own experience never say never.Anything is obviously possible.
What disturbs me is we do not have any good candidates to choose from and they all have some problems. We are in big trouble if we can not get a good intelligent person that knows how to balance the budget, fix our problems here. Handle the foreign countries strongly and eliminate Isis and all the terrorists. Maybe we should do some research and find someone who my be qualified and encourage them to run for the Presidency. God helps those who helps themselves.
ooby_dooby: You know, the way you act reminds me of when I was in high school, what with the name calling. You just can't resist can you? You even mock on MY screen name. Does that make you feel superior or something? I guess you never got the memo about how it's a bad idea to mess with the thread creator. To use a word that you seem to like, LISTEN "CLICK" did you hear that? That's the sound of me pushing the BAN button. Have a nice day.
