   Hey Ace, Marge, you guys keep paying at the pump. I'll take a chance on Mr. Trump, you guys must be doing OK and don't realize how much of your hard earned pay you can keep if only you had the nerve to take a chance on a winner. If he looses he won't even feel it, Look at what your banks are doing have you checked your interest rate on your savings account lately, do you even have a savings account anymore, I don't, yet these politicians gave them all that money and this time they are keeping it and anything else they can get from you. The CEO of Chase retired and got 20 million as a gift, our money. And he isn't even working anymore, When did someone ever give that kind of money to make someone go away? WAKE-UP. TRUMP IS THE CHANGE OBAMA NEVER DREAMED OF.

   Donald Trump is the U.S. Presidency as Meg Whitman would have been to California governor's office.

   These reporters are morons. They are basically saying because they don't think the birth of Barack is an issue...it's not an issue so someone can't be a serious candidate if they don't think the way Ted Turner does. Give me a break. Trump is going to have to put up with a lot of this crap but he knows what he's doing and if he's not just yanking our chain I think a bunch of liberals are going to really be up against a wall. Truths from Trump or nothing but lies from Barack (Barry). I think I'll take my chances with Trump. At least he addresses problems and doesn't just double talk about "hope".

   T-Rex....
   Do you really think it's that simple? The Donald will become president, move in to the W.H. and overnight clean everything up? You do realize the President does not have absolute power in this country? Or in the world? There is a Congress, Senate, U.N., etc.
   So he'll get in and when he can't change what HE wants, when HE wants he'll whine that the Senate (or whoever) won't let him.....whaaa whaaa whaaa.
   The Donald has a voice, but so do I. His is just louder, and he has TV coverage. That doesn't make his opinions more important than mine.
   He talks a bit about the world...OPEC, Iran, Iraq. But what about the U.S.? What is his stance on abortion? Gay rights? Clean Water act? Natural gas fracking? Unemployment benefits? Labor unions? HIV/Aids funding and research? What about things here at home that will affect your daily life and mine?
   I just think it'a absurd for ANY candidate to think he can walk in and change it all his way with the flick of a hand.
   Get real.

   I don't like Trump and his ego-maniacal self appraisals, but he is showing more integrity here than the reporters. I mean, they try to use his bulldog tactics to close a "Deal" with him not to talk about birther anymore, then breach their own bargain by continuing to bring it up themselves. Makes him look good in comparison.

   Trumps successes have not necessarily been won on sound ethics or based on his own merits. He prides himself in screwing Gadhafi because Gadhafi's name is popularly mud and Trump thinks that makes himself look good, but maybe someone should "look into" Trump's past dealings and "get back to us" with some (not so) surprising results of good people and organizations he may have screwed. He denounces Bush, but embraces the same self-important image of America that Bush employed that lost America respect on the world stage. Now Obama (and Hillary) are trying to back paddle to restore respect, but pandering doesn't garner respect either.

   Trump's inflated ego is what makes him effective in business, but held up to the mirror of international relations, it would be ugly: so ugly it might break the mirror, and that would not be a success for humanity.

   Media people: Please don't waste time on irrelevant things like hair. The intelligent portion of the population thinks quality journalism filters out noise and BS, rather than putting a magnifying glass on it. We do understand, however, that you have attention to gain and money to made from other sectors of the populous by elaborating on BS and noise, but the tabloids (and blogs-oh crap!) are suppose to be servicing that portion of the market.

   2 cents from a liberal.

    Todd–you beat me to the punch! Trump is a thief! He essentially "steals" money from his company by borrowing too much and paying himself a heafty sum of money and then putting his companies into bankrupcy! The banks lose out and in turn hurts the business men/women who want to borrow but banks can't/won't lend. What Trump HAS done is branded himself very well to dupe the banks into overborrowing. I hope he doesn't dupe the American people into running the government!

    I, too wish "the Donald" would just shut up! Yes, he's rich, but he's so obnoxious that it doesn't help! He's not a politician, nor is he a governor (one who governs). He's just a clever guy who managed to make some money. I do not want him in charge of any aspect of my life!

    One more thing – could everyone, including the media, please address the President as "President Obama"??? What other (white) president has ever constantly been address by his first name?? He's the President, not you next door neighbor!

    First of all, you don't have to be born in US to run for president, you have to be a naural citizen. Even if Obama wasn't born in Hawaii (and he was) he could still be president because his mother was a US citizen. That's the facts. Please get it straight, birthers!

    Secondly, why is success equated with wealth? I know wealthy people who are miserable human beings in every sense of that phrase. Success, to me, means being a good and kind person. Trump seems to be neither.

    Trump has some issue............but Kyran Chetrey is an idiot.........why she's now in CNN, rather than FOX. She now resides in with the like-minded.
