#1 "These folks" have nothing in common with the Tea Party. "These folks" are national welfare statist promoting "social justice."

#2 ...but Trump could be a third party spoiler

Oh, the bogyman card. The old guard Trunks offer nothing but the same old, same old. Their position is to demonize anyone who doesn't fit the RINO model. We've seen it in Florida and Alaska [talk to me about WHO split the vote there]. Now nationally. The only reason the vote will be split will be by the entrenched refusing to provide real leadership of which they are sadly deficient in. Don't want Trump then you damn well better provide a real alternative rather than something just 'Lite'.

#5 Yup, it's obvious to me that we need to dump all the RINO's, and go back to the glory days of the Perot presidency.

#6 Before he decided on this stunt political run, Trump didn't even qualify as a RINO because he was an activist democrat.

If YOU can't find a candidate who didn't give money to Harry Reid in the last two years, well, ask not whom the RINO bell tolls for, it tolls for thee.

#7 Thing if the Republican establishment puts up a RINO or Donk Lite, why even bother going to the polls? It's just a game between the Inner Party and Outer Party to us prols.

#8 I dislike the RINO's as much as anyone, but please, P2K, voting for someone who just a year ago everyone knew was a democrat isn't the answer.

If Trump really were the answer the mainstream press wouldn't be pushing him so hard.

#9 I personally don't support Trump. He's P T Barnum, who was also a business man. My problem is that Trump is getting the air time because of the abject failure of the 'old guard'. If the establishment just chuckles this off and not recognize its a very serious wake up call, then the non-socialist political elements of America had better clean house in the Trunk party quickly this year.

#10 Don't forget the MSM pushed McCain until he got a lock on the nomination - then things changed drastically.

I would be baised against anyone the MSM is pushing - just for that reason.

#11 Trump: I screwed Gadhafi

"I rented him a piece of land. He paid me more for one night than the land was worth for two years, and then I didn't let him use the land," Trump boasted. "That's what we should be doing. I don't want to use the word 'screwed', but I screwed him."

Bravo. A bigger asshole than the one we've got is just what we need. And better yet, a guy who'll be an asshole not to us, but on our behalf. I pray he will not pull another Perot, but watching The Donald ~~wax the floor with~~ debate Obama would be fantastic!
