Trump for President? It’s a Mistake to Dismiss the Idea
Apr 4, 2011 by James Hyde
Trump and O'Reilly interview. Trump offered some remarkable ideas.
Last week, Donald Trump appeared for three nights on the O’Reilly Factor, and his performance, forthrightness and willingness to stand up to PC, Pakistan, China, OPEC and more importantly Iran, have reached sympathetic ears, including mine.
He’s far from perfect and needs to get more specific about his ideas, but many—not all—align with those of the Tea Party.
I first had the pleasure of meeting this amazing man back in 1997. As designer of, and writer and reporter for Supermodel.com, I with my wife covered the major modeling events in New York.
I met Trump at one such gathering, during which Victoria’s Secret launched a new product. Mr. Trump suddenly appeared when I was exchanging some airy persiflage with several models. His trademark hair gave him away immediately. It’s more massive in person.
He politely but stiffly introduced himself, and when I told him who I was he smiled and said he was a frequent visitor to the site. We wound up talking for awhile before he walked away with a stunning supermodel on his arm (that’s off the record).
I had previously had him pegged—as do many others—as an arrogant egomaniac, a hanger on in modeling circles who’d pick each night’s date, slip her a line and be gone in minutes. I was very wrong, which proves you can’t judge people by their appearance.
Yeah, the man has an ego the size of Montana, but wouldn’t you if you’d gone from nothing to billions all on your own? And he’s in no way shallow or an Obamaesque shrinking violet. He has a quick, fluid mind.
While we didn’t talk politics back then, we did talk about other topics. Despite his being a bit rough around the edges, I realized I was chatting with someone who sincerely matched the hype about his being one very smart and shrewd cookie, a man with important, meaningful and common-sense ideas and a quick wit. He also has a surprising sense of humor. In fact, he’s a hoot.
Fast forward to today, and I see a Donald Trump on The O’Reilly Factor . He is amazingly well informed about politics and eagerly snaps off quick and simple answers; ideas that take a moment to sink in due to their common sense approach, an asset most politicians seriously lack. Sure, he’s naive to some political realities, wrong about some others, and he’s very unpolished, but he doesn’t come from the typical political mold, and maybe, just maybe, it’s time we looked at outsiders instead of clinging to the conventional as we do.
I was amazed at how forthright he was in taking O’Reilly on one-to-one and setting the irascible, cynical and “I-always-winâ€
That would be entertaining in and of itself!Quote:
If he wins the nomination, a very iffy proposition, I can NOT wait for the debates with the urbane, erudite, TelePrompTer-bound Obama, whom he’ll eat up and spit out for breakfast.
[quote]Trump just smiled. “I didn’t say I’d threaten them. Once you tell them you’re going to do it they’ll be at the negotiating table, so it won’t happen.â€
Rather interesting that at this early stage in the game that he is tied with Romney. I wonder if he will endorse Romney? Or if he already has?Quote:
He’s tied with Romney

Sounds fairly right and spot on to me also. A few issues I don't like so well such as leaving a small military force in Iraq but I do see the side of the arguement of why at least for the time being. However if its done Iraq needs to start paying the costs and paying us something back. I'm also unsure if threatening China would pay off so well but I do like the idea of 25% tarriffs as they would draw jobs back to the US. US would hurt for a bit but we also have the ability to quickly recover and we have mass untapped labor pools (say bye bye to welfare state).
He does sound very common sense and I think many Tea Party people among independents could back him as well. Problem though is that the Tea Party won't support him in getting the Rep nomination unless he starts speaking at Tea Party events and showing himself as a Tea Party supporter.

No disrespect kathyet, but, I don't take the Don seriously. Yet, many others with the help of the media will. The subject of a business minded person is brought up onto center stage, then, when the Don exists, stage left..............the minds are keen to a business mind,.....where will we find one?Quote:

Purely a hypothetical brain fart...........................but hey, silly season is around the corner. :lol:

LOL... Any one I vote for never gets elected, and they always prove me right in not voting for them...
This is an interesting article with Ron Paul and a good answer why he is being shunned.. but again this is my opinion. I would guess this being an interview when the first George Bush was in power. There is no date,,,

I ‘Wonder’ How the Democrats Missed This Republican Scandal?

A very familiar, albeit younger-looking politician in this video discusses one of the biggest drug dealers in the country. The drug dealer is given immunity from criminal prosecution by the government because the drug dealer is the government. For further reading, see The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade, Compromised: Clinton, Bush and the CIA, Shadow Masters, and Trance: Formation of America.

We are just waking up as a nation,....I think,...I hope.
In the morning it takes me a couple cups of coffee to wake up. I am still just on the first couple of sips on the first cup.
and
I too like Ron Paul. Not due to his personality so much as the trend he has set into motion. I think we ought to be thrilled and not let the every day assualts and charges on our emotions remove us from the fact that we have been stirred to something beyond the status quo.Quote:

The status quo has been around for quite some time. It will take alot to change that, as the status quo has in place machinery that is self replicating whenever it faces stresses and the elements of time. It sort of leap frogs over the bumps in the road. That ability is more a mechanical function that a political one. The printing press comes too mind.
What is the one area of study that most people hate to think about? Yet it is something they partake in and cannot live without. Economics?
If our monetary system was to change, or transform its nature, ie SDR's, electronic units, one world currency, Amero or regional form, would the public be ready to understand the change and the consequences? Keeping in mind that the Federal Reserve was sold for the ability to prevent chaos in the markets, to prevent depressions, and/or economic bubbles. It was sold due to its elastic effects. The people accepted it, because they did not understand its nature. So again, if our system were to even debate change, how would the public be prepared to understand?
What came first? The chicken or the egg? Our monetary system dictates to the political system. The political system cannot change with the current monetary system. The top will march to the monetary marching orders. There is no escape, only change.
The short of my rant, (sorry) is that I do not expect much change up at the top. Yet I am thrilled to be waking up and learning more and more along the way to undermining the status quo. :D
As for names, Ron Paul and Allan West?
Well said and I agree with most of what you said....as for
What came first? The chicken or the egg?
Hmmm on the chicken and the egg...I believe the chicken or least it was bread down from something else to produce our common egg but usually I am wrong so no real answer there......
Hey I can always hope...Quote:

Isn't that a sad truth when we had a great nation to begin with...Quote:
We are just waking up as a nation,....I think,...I hope.
I believe in our society it was the people that came first and that is not happening how do they say the needs of few out way the needs of many? Yes people are waking up but is there enough that are? I find not to much excitement in the goings on of our illustrious politicians...and fewer that I can admire.
I hope your enjoying your coffee. I too need that morning cup or two or three or.....well I will be truthful...the POT is more like it.

I believe little by little, more and more are. I think of myself as one. I used to be a staunch Republican. A get out of my way, I don't want to hear any of your crap, defender of all things espoused by the party machine. I no longer believe in the two party system, and one of those parties was mine.Quote:

More broadly, there are more people feeling the same way. We see that and hear that all the time, and they are being touted as the independents.
The two party system was easily managed by the "invisible third party" or the managers using the "divide and conquer" tactic that has worked for so long and is so easy to work.
Provided the independents, or a large number of them, gravitate towards constitutional representation, and keep that out front, then they will be the ones that will "upset the apple cart." JMO
No comments? :DQuote:

I like Ron Paul the best, voted for him last time....Allan West?? Not sure he talks a good talk...just like Herman Cain does, but talk is talk. I also think Donald Trump does as well, to me it is all about trust and I don't trust any of them not one bit....
I do like Jim DeMint, Ron Paul, Paul Ryan is interesting...hmmm..not sure. I know I don't like Chris Christy, Hillary, Obama, Romney, Huckerbee,and that list the Republicans have been proposing keeps getting worse. To me it is all about party lines etc...I dislike like both parties and have never voted party lines it has always been a split ticket for me until I finally just went and registered Independent...Doing that leaves me out of a lot of primary races which I don't like at all, and to me that is done by design by both parties. They would hate another party to come in and spoil the fun they all see to derive from our discomfort. I feel they are denying me my right to vote by doing that and a third party would change nothing, just a split of the control..again.
