Both losers and fodder for many jokes. That picture is priceless.

I would not rule out his chances in the primaries either, with so many candidates in the race it will not take a huge percentage of the vote to win and he may well have the highest name recognition of anyone in the GOP field.

I think he could get the nomination but he could not beat Bernie, Hillary, O'Malley, or even Chaffee.

I think Bernie vs Trump in the general election would be the greatest matchup ever, I could only imagine those debates. Bernie would probably cause Trump to spontaneously combust.

An impotent, hairless, non-billionaire, reality show cowardly freak.

He won't run.

There's probably room for a guy with a dead muskrat on his head as well.

Whatta maroon, to quote that eminent philosopher, B. Bunny.

It is unpleasant, stinks a lot, and can be irritating to the posterior, but eventually the problem is flushed away.

at every one of his venues. I really want to see that combover take flight.

The part has to be down at the nape of his neck by now.

I think it's time to focus on the more serious candidates and what they have to offer; spending time on someone like Trump is a total loss; he's not a serious candidate and I, for one, am tired of hearing or reading about him.

and he's only in it for the campaign contributions

Since the question was about his candidacy, I gave it the seriousness it deserves.

I would heartily suggest you trash threads of which you do not approve.

From a human being dept., not so much.

Doonbeg will make him a ton. Cty Clare owes him a debt of gratitude. I love what he did to the Blue Monster. Hiring Gil Hanse was a great idea.
