Trump Will Speak at CPAC
Source: New York Times

Donald Trump is telling friends and advisers that he is seriously considering jumping into the Republican presidential race in 2012. To make his point, he has accepted an invitation to appear with other potential candidates at a gathering of conservative activists in Washington.

Mr. Trump is a last-minute addition to the roster of speakers at the Conservative Action Political Conference, organizers said, and is scheduled to address the 10,000 attendees on Thursday afternoon. His appearance would mark the first campaign-style event that Mr. Trump has participated in as he explores whether to begin a political career by running for president.

For weeks, Mr. Trump has been engaged in not-so-quiet discussions about making a potential White House bid, but he has taken few visible steps, beyond television interviews, to test his support and demonstrate his seriousness. By accepting an invitation to appear at the event, Mr. Trump is once again fueling speculation about his political future — and generating maximum exposure in the process.

“Obviously, it’s a tremendous forum to espouse his views and to express the fact that he is legitimately contemplating on this run,” said Michael Cohen, the executive vice president of the Trump organization, who confirmed his attendance at the forum. “He is seriously considering doing this because he’s disgusted with how the country is being run.”

4. I saw that too.
He said something I have to agree with: "Obama is in over his head." We keep thinking that Obama is so smart and has plans he just hasn't revealed to the public yet. But I keep seeing him make one stupid move after another. If he has a secret, brilliant agenda, he needs to let us know soon.

Especially on trade and getting tough on the "free" trade agreements with countries like China.

5. Well, he sure knows about debt...
after so many generations of wastrels losing their inherited fortunes at the gambling houses, he was the first to lose his while OWNING one.

And he did it TWICE!

Running things? Remember Trump Air?

None of his properties made a profit until he lost so much money his creditors took away his management responsibilities. Last I heard, he's down to owning about 2% of his "empire" and has no management control at all.

6. If Trump got the nomination, Obama would still win NY (statewide) by 20%+
Edited on Thu Feb-10-11 02:10 PM by Hawaii Hiker
and NJ by at least 12%+...

NYC generally votes about 85-15% for the democrat, and it would be no different if Donald Dump ran...

10. The candidate of the Wealthy Dilettantes Party.
Edited on Thu Feb-10-11 02:28 PM by immoderate
I used to do commercial real estate photography in NYC. I met lots of brokers who had dealt with Trump personally. Every one of them referred to Trump as a scumbag. Had nothing good to say about him.

Disclaimer: Amongst commercial real estate brokers, this mode of reference is not uncommon.:)

21. Who Trump or Allen West?
Next to boehner, mcconnell, cantor, or issa...I used to think that the biggest imbecile in the rethuglican party was michael steel...I was wrong...the biggest asshat is allen west. His entire keynote speech was a huge FAIL....and he's worried about Olbermann?...he's got bigger problems...and it appears we do as well...people are actually listening to this clown....Speaking of Olbermann....

17. I think Trump is socially liberal
To get the nomination, he'd have to start talking Baby Jesus and show up at an anti-choice rally real soon.

Ain't gonna happen...

19. He described himself as "pro life"
at CPAC. He's the perfect republican - multiple marriages, cheating on his wives, a hypocrit on social issues. The sheep will forgive his craveness as they always do.

20. Can't we make him change his hair?
Otherwise I have no problems with him, except maybe his ego too.
