Members Mr. Vixen Posted February 20, 2011 Members Share Posted February 20, 2011 Well, we could do worse. I don't know. I would have to reserve any judgment until he actually made a decision, and we could see what he's got. Until then, it sounds a bit iffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted February 20, 2011 Members Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hehehe I can see it now. Donald sitting in the Oval Office with his Chief of Staff, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Speaker of both houses and a few more going through things and ticking them off AKA The Apprentance style, and then points to one of them and says "Your Fired" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted February 21, 2011 Members Share Posted February 21, 2011 America could do a lot worse than The Donald. That's for damn sure. Trump/Trump 2012 (Ivana as VP, natch). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted February 21, 2011 Members Share Posted February 21, 2011 No way would Donald Trump win the Republican Primary Race. He'll run as an Independent or as some other third party candidate(i.e. Forbes/Perot) and take enough votes AWAY from Republicans to get Obama re-elected.

Members DRW50 Posted February 21, 2011 Members Share Posted February 21, 2011 I'm not sure who would vote for him. Hasn't he had a lot of money problems? Most of his fame, aside from one season of The Apprentice (after that the show seemed to lose quite a few viewers), comes from the Ivana/Donald era.

Members Sylph Posted February 21, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 21, 2011 He was bankrupt. Several times. I don't know whether it sounds as an unbelievable farce or a weirdly good idea. However, yeah, I don't really think he could be elected even if he chose to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted February 21, 2011 Members Share Posted February 21, 2011 I don't think we could do much worse, to be honest. His fame aside, The Taj Mahal is currently under bankruptcy, he has no experience at all in foreign affairs, his "I made my fortune and won my battles" shtick is another way of saying "I inherited my real estate business from my father Fred, and then built upon it", and none of this even begins to touch on his tacky taste in hotel decorating and hair. The better question America should ask itself is beside being famous, what does Trump offer? His empire has been in and out of bankruptcy filings for decades, his pugnacious NY attitude is great in NY (and even we think he is something of a putz), but west of the Hudson where will that fly? The republicans are going to hate him once they examine his marry-go-round history. This is all just another Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was said to be very smart and qualified to save California. How did that work out for them? Fame and public persona isn't a qualification for public office--a good qualification anyway--and Caroline Kennedy discovered that last year. About the only thing I can say about him is he is from NY and not a gun-toting bumpkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted February 21, 2011 Members Share Posted February 21, 2011 But at least with Ivana as VP we'd see a return of...shoulderpads? Shellacked hair? Fabulous accents? I see nothing but benefits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
