so "The Donald" is in!

My fear is that he will make a mockery of the Republican debates and Republican party. The media will portrait him as a main stream PUB and will cause Independent voters to either stay at home or vote Dem. But, we would finally have a hawt first lady and daughter.
I don't think he'll be thought of as a main stream pub. JMO. I think they'll go after him, as John McCain said once, and lump him in as a "whacko bird". But, he's got to make the top 10 at the adult table first for that 1st debate. Might end up at the children's table instead. We'll see. Probably took some thunder from Jeb's speech yesterday. (who by the way, imo, did pretty good with his speech......but concerned with his foreign policy team)
You'd have several daughters.....Didn't realize he had so many kids till he intro'd them. First time I had seen wife 4 or is it 5?
I think he'll be great, he'll make these pols stop acting like pols. He's not PC and will not be afraid to stir it up. He'll call names, make jokes and laugh at them. He's in my top five. Carson, Cruz, Fiorina, Rubio and Trump
love that he said, I will build a wall on the border and make Mexico pay for it, that is reason enough to vote for him right there. Gotta believe if that is his platform on immigration, he will begin deporting illegals as well.
I liked rebuilding infrastructure,not cutting funding for it & shouldn't have gone to iraq & won't.
He'll force the candidates to state a position, not dance around it. And since he is not going to accept PACs, donations, since he's "/really rich", he's not going to be beholden to anyone, any corp., etc.
so he can say & do anything.
I think he'll be a positive. Not afraid to call out Hillary or the other Republicans. Nobody's gonna get a free pass. As far as the media goes "screw em" The fact they are even continuing to follow Hillary's staged performances says it all. Her whole campaign is "fake" just like the candidate.
Candidly pointing out our trade deficit with certain countries may get people fired up, but that doesn't exactly amount to a policy which is the biggest problem with Trump.
On a different note, there could be as many as 20 GOP candidates in the field within the next month or two. Sadly, that may be all the more reason that the least-inspiring, establishment candidates will stand the best chance to win. With a field so large, it will be extremely difficult for a non-establishment candidate to stand out and garner enough votes to overtake the candidates handpicked by the party or donors. Therefore, I don't welcome a guy like Trump to the race. He's just a distraction that will siphon votes away from other, more legitimate candidates who need to mount a challenge to a guy like Jeb Bush.
They're all staged on both sides, well the exception, if there is one, would be Bernie Sanders. I'd call Hillary's "controlled" by staff. But..now that she's officially declared , most, not all, of that will have to stop. Until she officially was in, she didn't have to play the traditional game due to lack of competition in the party. Repub candidates didn't have that luxury with so many running, which I believe, some are running for VP or possibly making a run in 2020. Get exposure now, be front runner in 2020.
Just my 2 cents.
