Trump will have to get around the two party apparatus in all 50 states to get his name on the ballot. How long does that take, a year? He may brag about his wealth and whether he will really invest his own money for his campaign is very doubtful. Despite his ego, I am sure realizes that this is a losing proposition. In the interim he is shaking the party and the system and will probably become a bigger celebrity that he can cash in.

It can't be that hard...you see all those weirdo candidates year in and year out on the ballots. If Barry Commoner could do it I think Trump can.

I believe that they start quite early in the process whereas if Trump stays on top before he is dethroned, he may not have the time to declare a credible independent candidacy. Money is a whole different matter. Just my $0.02.

The TP is probably emboldened by the lack of solidarity within the Dem party and feel they have time to shake things up a bit longer. Whatever happened with their wonderkid Cruz?

Did you catch T-rump's response to Kelly's questions regarding his misogyny? He basically threatened her. He claimed to have always been "nice" to her but then said that he could "probably maybe not be" after this.

Ooooh! So, now the gloves are off, eh?

Oh, yeah! I forgot. He called her a "bimbo" on Twitter so game on!

Actually, I think Kelly could shred that pompous wanker if she even half way tried. She's a lawyer, after all, and.... well.... a real bitch. Remember the way she body slammed Rove on 2012 election night?

The outrage at Megan! How did she miss that her role is to kiss whatever Donald wanted kissed?

See, if a guy calls women misogynistic names, well, he's just not a politically-correct guy. But if a woman questions him on it, she's a leftest man-hating bimbo, no doubt about it!
