Trump blowing his own horn - and maybe his chances

Mr. Kemp, you are probably right and don't think for a second I have not thought of that.  It is a concern.  But maybe he has seen what Liberalism is and doe's not like it.  It's possible.  Or maybe he is just playing us.  That is possible too.  What I am loving is that he is raising questions and pointing out the issues for the whole world to see.  He has the guts.  I am fed up with the Republicans that talk the good talk but don't act.  That is what I have always seen in Republicans and that is why I will always be an Independent.  Even when they have a win win situation.  Why are they not bringing up all of these things?  I kind of agree with Kenneth Frazier.  I would vote for Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck over Obama any day.  Even though they both registered to vote for Obama.  My point is, we have got to get a candidate that can really beat Obama and will raise holy hell over any reports of voter fraud.  We absoutely CANNOT give Obama a 2nd term.  We may just have to settle for Trump.  Maybe Trump truly wants to turn this country around and go down in history as a loved President. He has done everything else.   Who really knows what is in his heart.  I believe Soro's is trying to rule the world with his dillusions of him seeing himself as "God Like".  Soro's has his said he has set his sights on America and has many arms reaching into just about everything in this country.  Doe's anyone know if Trump & Soro's are friends or associates?  If they are buddies then that would give me a whole different idea of what might be happening.

Mr. Frazier, I like the idea of Herman Cain or Rep. Allen West on the ticket, but you word it solely as some kind of appeal to blacks. On that basis, why not run Arsenio Hall? Both these men, Cain and West, are solid candidates with life experience and accomplishments outside of a classroom. I respect them both for what they have done, not on the basis of their skin color.

At the present moment I would be pleased with a Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse ticket. I think it would be better than what we have now. Seriously, I really don't believe Trump will run.  He's just getting rid of some of that super ego. Now, How much did he contribute to Pelosi  and the Democrats during the last election?  I just can't bring myself to trust the man. Maybe it's his opportunity to really become the worlds riches man. Now that should advance that ego up to a super nova status. Seems like we've had this conversation before and I'll say again what I said back then, "ether Hermin Cain or Allen West should be somewhere on the ticket as over ninety- five of the black vote will go to Obama if one of these fine patriots is not on the ticket.

Robert, you have a point. If Judson is referring to me, he could add a middle initial "E" if one of my stories is featured, even though I don't legally have a middle initial. We'll use "E" as part of a pen name. I'll even email Judson myself.

In my opinion,,,The Donald  will see how well he plays in the sticks,,then the cities,,before he drops OUT ,,hopefully to back OUR REAL & MUCH NEEDED candidate.  He blows which ever way the wind blows,thus he cannot be considered a true Conservative,,,,maybe a RINO??,,,instead.

To Jud Phillips,,,,would you please STOP saying  "Jack Kemp,,,NOT the Politician,,"    I think we all know he is NOT the DECEASED Ex-QB & Politician,,,,,OK????    Or,,,get Mr. Kemp to add a middle initial ,,,OK???

I agree, Jack.  I don't believe Trump would necessarily do the will of the American majority unless he benefited and he could end up being a GOP Obama.  The only positive is the awareness he's bringing out about our traitor President and that the mainstream media will probably air some of it since it's being said by Donald Trump. He's been criticized about pushing Obama's birth issue but I think it's a good thing.  He's putting doubt in many people's head and we saw by the last Presidental election, there are many gullible people in this country. It's good to have him in the arena for now.  When he decides to run against others in the primary, he's going to have to answer some difficult questions, however.

islivicki, Trump wasting his time on ridiculous lawsuits is exactly what a real business person would not do. Suing a tv show called "Trump Card" for plagarism. Geesh. No wonder he went bankrupt 4 times. If you see his old political positions, you'll see he is a Democrat in Tea Party clothing. Once he gets in, he'll treat you no better than his business associates or his wives. Don't mistake toughness with no values for someone who will fight for YOU. Trump only fights for himself - and he isn't all that bright.

Honestly Mr. Kemp, I don't give a rat's behind about Trumps lawsuits.  After all, he is a business man and that is exactly what I think we need now.  I know he isn't the conservative we would like but I think he just may be the only possible candidate at the moment that could beat Obama and that is what is important.  I hold dear the thought of a debate between Trump and Obama.  Make some popcorn and enjoy the fireworks.  At least Trump is not afraid to pursuit the many questions about Obama and he won't back down.  Unlike the SPINELESS Republicans.  The fact is, Trump loves America and is tired of seeing Obama's destruction at every turn.  Also, Obama's war is on Capitalism and we all know Trump is a Capitalist.  This is what the real fight is all about.  I think Trump could put a stop to it and bring us back to a prosperous Nation.  I like what he says about putting a stop to all the other Countries that are ripping us off.  In fact, I like everything he has had to say so far.  I only hope he is as geniune as I believe he is.

Jack.  I had a question.  Did you ask Mr. Trump if he had gotten permission from this person to share this story?  Sometimes you can ask people to be able to use their story for illustrative purposes along with their name.  Just wondered if you had asked him that question. >>

 

Grace, I couldn't get close enough to ask Trump that question concerning permission.  And I didn't ask it from the floor. And Trump didn't give the names of the two people I mentioned (one in the article and one in the comments who had a short marriage to a Las Vegas showgirl).

Speaking as a man, the last thing a man wants to give permission for is telling a story about his inability to be sexually potent to a crowd of people, be they friends, strangers or a combination of both. One of the reasons the man's name wasn't mentioned in the story in the article above was that most probably no permission was given to Trump. Even if Trump got permission (highly unlikely) a decent man wouldn't embarrass another man with such a story in public so close to his NY City & extended metropolitan area home.

KENNETH ZEITLER ...  I gotta say I think Ron Paul is great.  I think America could use a president like him.  I mean the qualities you cite are refreshing.  I cannot say the same for ANY other candidate.  But in my opinion, the man won't be elected because I don't believe he looks good on TV. 
Since the election of JFK, when Nixon gave better answers in a debate but the TV audience saw beads of sweat over his lower lip, it's REALLY been a matter of how does the candidate look on TV.  You must think I'm a pretty unsubstantial kind of person to talk like this but it's not ME talking.  I reporting what I've read in every book I've ever seen about presidential elections since the advent of TV.  Lincoln, they say, would never have been elected because he had a squeeky voice.  He's always depicted as someone with a deep, fatherly type voice, kind and appealing.  As I understand it, this is not so.  He apparently sounded terrible but people then, were not the same as we are today.  Lincoln's message to the nation was spread in a newspaper not on some mass electronic medium, so most of the people never knew what he sounded like ... and reports of his winning debates ... and reports of his proposals ... were never minimized by the sound of his voice.  Can't happen today.  Ron Paul would be subject to the ravages of how his image was projected on TV.  In my opinion, that would kill his candidacy and he would lose the election. I don't believe we can take a chance on my being wrong.  If I'm right and your candidate gets the nomination, he'll lose and it's four more years of Obama.  That would destroy this country. This is why I always shout these remarks which must seem like idiocy to many others but I try to make my voice and my opinion heard.  I believe I now have many people looking at candidates with a view toward deciding whether they can win the election or not.  For instance, I don't think Sarah can win -- and she's potentially a great president -- because I don't think she can best Obama in a face to face debate.  And so on.  Trump -- in my opinion -- because he is rich, because he is saying what seems right ... and because I think he can win, is my candidate.  A lot of people disagree with me ...  but that's why we have primary elections.  We shall see what we shall see.  Best always, John
