To Chris Matthews, there are two types of Republicans: the cerebral George Will types and “tribalistâ€

Billionaire Trump will SPLIT the (what is left of it) GOP and handily give Obama a second term.

Obama could easily be the LAST PRESIDENT.

Trump Will ‘Probably’ Run as Independent If He Doesn’t Win GOP Nomination

I'm upset with the GOP for putting the same guys as last time out there.

Where's McCain? Did Hayworth run him out of money?

What do we have... Scandalous Gingrich, Huckster Huckabee with credibility issues and then there's Romney and Palin. They didn't win last time and what are their chances now?

Really, is Trump any worse than the A List for the GOP?

======================================

The idea here is Trump won't get the GOP nomination and will BUY HIS OWN independent ticket.

RESULT: Obama II

Here's where we are (and have been) ...

There are better possible candidates on the radar than those you listed. For example, Michele Bachman and Tim Pawlenty. I'd take either of those over Trump, Obama, and those you mentioned.

Let me play Devil's advocate.

I don't have a lot of faith in the American Idol watching public to support a real candidate, therefore, Trump vs Obama is a pretty good popularity contest. I actually think Obama's glow has worn off so in theory Trump would win and I'd take him over Obama any day.

In truth, the polls are probably being manipulated by the Socialist Media Machine, which wants the weakest Republican in the lead and that's why lame Huckster is near the top. Huck's not a strong candidate in my opinion (groom him all day long and he's still just a lap dog, not a show dog) and Obama would look good going against him.

Trump is not perfect but he doesn't need a teleprompter and he'll stand up to our enemies. That alone makes him a man among men. Pawlenty would suit me fine and Bachman but the repugs give us the retreads, no thanks.
