People go to places like that to see and be seen, so call it an investment and not an expense.

Probably a lot of them charge it to company expense accounts.

OMG!
What a team they would make.

Let's hope the voters have more sense than to let Trump get past the primaries.

Are you kidding?

I'd love to see Trump as the Republican nominee.

But it's not going to happen.

Actually, Trump is the perfect representative of the GOP’s main constituency. He is an old, white, arrogant CEO. He thinks that his wealth makes him smarter than anyone else. Because of his financial position, he believes that he is entitled to make the rules. Anyone who disagrees with him will suffer his wrath in economic warfare.

Granted, I don’t mean that he perfectly represents the electoral base of the GOP – just the constituency it serves most faithfully.

Regards,

D-Ray

Trump is the best thing that has happened to Hillary this primary season.
With all eyes and ears on The Donald, HRC gets to stay under the radar and hide out from Bernie at the same time.

Trump is telling the baggers exactly what they want to hear.

And Bernie Sanders is telling liberals exactly what they want to hear.

If you want to know the difference between baggers and liberals just compare Trump and Sanders.

Wouldn't it be awesome if the 2016 race ended up being Trump vs. Sanders?

Trump sure is putting a xenophobic face on the GOP.

From my vantage point, what Bernie is saying is possible to enact if there is a will. Trump OTOH is a one trick pony talking about the impossible.
