However,Trump has a history of success and economic knowledge vs. the current failed POTUS.That is an equation that is so 1 sided and imbalanced it almost leads to the implosion of the universe.

 Not that I'd vote for either(or any) one.I learned my lesson in 2008.Thank God I will soon be able to put that horrible mistake behind me and try to forgive myself for my idiocy.

 It's not worth it and "they" have electronic voting anyway.

100% of the country could vote for somebody and any guy would win if that's what the "Powers that be" wanted.

To think otherwise is infantile.

Using the gas to go vote in a pre determined election is a win for the energy companies.

I don't understand how he can be so ahead in the polls. What do people see in him?

Nope it is simpler than that.

He cannot stand to not be the center of things.

He s nothing more than a spoiled child.

I really wonder what this guy's end game is? I guess he just fancies himself as some kind of "macher", someone who thinks he can be a political influence.

Comedians Beg Trump to Reconsider

20,000 Jokers March on Trump Tower

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) – Distraught at the news that Donald Trump will not seek the Republican nomination for President, the nation’s comedians took to the streets today, begging Mr. Trump to reconsider.

The largest gathering of comedians took place in Mr. Trump’s hometown of Manhattan, where an estimated crowd of 400,000 jokers marched on Trump Tower.

“I for one am devastated that Donald Trump has decided not to throw his hair in the ring,” said Jackie LaRossi, a comedian who is a regular at Manhattan’s Chuckle Barrel comedy club.

Shelley Schwartzenbaum, who headlines at the Komedy Kantina in Teaneck, New Jersey, added, “I guess he wanted to spend more time with the family of ferrets who nest on his head.”

A huge roar came up from the crowd when Mr. Trump made a brief appearance, reassuring the comedians that he would continue to be a laughingstock in the private sector.

But according to Mr. LaRossi, Mr. Trump’s departure from the race will have a severe economic impact on a comedy industry that is still reeling from last fall’s defeat of Delaware Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell.

“Sure, we’re happy that Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul are in, but frankly, that’s not enough to compensate for Trump being out,” he said.  “In the days and weeks ahead you’re going to see comedians putting more pressure on Palin to announce.”

In other political news, IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn said the sexual misconduct charges against him would force him to drop out of the race for President of France and run for Prime Minister of Italy instead.
