Did you see how he had his accountants doubled his self worth earlier in the week?

Keep in mind, ego's as grandiose as his can make one respond in unexpected ways.
This is more than an ego trip. Trump is voicing what the others feel but are afraid to say.

He is an outlet for their angst.

At what point will this be?

And are you sticking with this assessment now that he's apparently getting some traction?

He's definitely not in it for the long haul. What exactly will precipitate his departure is unclear (and it won't be for the reasons he states). The longer he stays in, the better. A bit of fratricide within the GOP Presidential-hopeful ranks would be welcome and highly entertaining.

I've heard that he's got two four week extensions beyond the FEC deadline.

Nope. I was wrong, as were many about Trump. That said, despite his current lead, I'm pretty sure he won't win the GOP nomination. If he does and runs against Hillary, I'll probably abstain from voting and drink heavily.

QFT, and an, "I Told You So."

You guys can insult me all you like because I am objective but I saw Hill on my TV this morning and she looked like crap. Just like I said last summer. Her window was closed by time.

People vote more on image and appearance as issues and Trump next to Hillary is a disaster for Hill.

Don't shoot the messenger as you always do. I am not humping the Donald, I am bringing objectivity to the table.

You're so sensitive. We don't insult you all that much.

I've got a couple of QFTs too. These go back to late July of last year:

And with THAT, he could win. Probably not, but it's not a risk I'm happy with.

If I were sensitive I would have stopped posting as most do. That said, I am human.

So far, more votes have been cast for Hillary (and for Bernie) than for Trump. Must be the hair.
