Trump and Palin in ’12. That’s the ticket!
Property magnate and reality TV star Donald Trump on Thursday strung out a media tease over whether he will run for U.S. president by setting a — tentative — date for announcing a date for announcing his decision.
Trump said in a statement he may declare when he will declare whether he will seek the Republican candidacy on network television during the May 22 season finale for his reality TV show “The Celebrity Apprentice,” which airs on NBC.
#2–Guyver==I can tell you aren’t being home schooled because you make such a spotty appearance here. that busy? I hope so, its a good thing.
Yes, I thought about the IPCC as I thought about making criterion plural, but I saw no need for correction.
the best way to show that a model is garbage is to show another better one? Please proceed.
And I remembered my “killer” question you have failed to answer 3 times now, so I hereby pledge to keep posting it until you answer it. It comes at the end of the thread at:
http://dvorak.org/blog/2011/02/26/global-warming-solution-found-all-we-need-is-a-small-nuclear-war/#comments
and with reference to setting the basis of your skepticism regarding AGW: “Guyver–hypothetically, what would constitute “proof” to you that should be acted on? Or even “non proof” that should be acted on?”
Curious Modelers want to know.
Trump proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you don’t have to be poor to be white trash. Talks loud? Check! Married a bunch of times? Check! Terrible hair that he think looks good? Check! Much much poorer than purports to be. BIG CHECK!!!
No. He is a birther and a guy who managed to turn his father’s fortune into multiple bankruptcies.
#16–Lotsa==sadly, you are mistaken: party not only “matters” it controls. Thats why ALL Republicans must be voted out of office, not elected, until they purge themselves of the various cancers within them. This reflects the basic corruption in our political system that elections require money and money is secured from special/corporate interests thru the auspices of the Political Parties that keep this death grip on what might otherwise be “better men” than what we have serving today.
Once all the Pukes are Purged, then we can form a more perfect union by going after the DINO’s, and then the Blue Dogs, etc until we get a process that will provide efficient services for the money taken and stop selling out to special interests to the general harm of everyone else.
This is the “only” remedy available to the average voter. Public finance of elections could solve this but it won’t be allowed. Same with “VOTE ALL INCUMBENTS OUT OF OFFICE”–more bi-partisan according to your druthers, but it also won’t work==too indirect to get their attention.
No, start with the Pukes, because they are demonstrably the worse, go on from there.
Yea, verily.
If I wanted the last shred of respect and of dignity for the office of the PoTUS to be flushed down the commode, sure…
If I wanted someone who’s first priority would be to try to extract every single buck from the lobbyists, sure…
But if I wanted to have some one in charge (viz a whipping boy,) then no.
I sooner have a small YouTube puppy elected than the Donald.
“The Donald” and Sarah, now there is a comical pair.
He’s like Bush, all he knows how to do is FAIL at business but because he is perceived as one of the elite people listen to him.
He’s a “birther”. What a joke!! He just wants to jump on the “money raising” bandwagon Newt is so good at.
We’ve been electing politicians…it hasn’t worked out too well for us…
Its time we try an actual CEO for the CEO Job of president.
While Obama excels at standing on a soap box, passing out fliers, demanding someone do something about xyz, he doesn’t have a clue how to actually do it.
To post the negative posts in context, most here voted for Obama…

When Obama was running against lifelong, career politician John McCain, the conservatives hammered Obama for his lack of political experience.
Now, the conservatives think being an outsider is a good thing?
But, I long ago stopped expecting any intellectual consistency from conservatives.
GregAllen==constantly failing the logic trap: All conservatives are hypocritical f*cktards, but not all hypocritical f*cktards are conservatives. But then, you are responding to Alfie, so who knows what you deeper motivations might be?
I feel pretty sure the Republicans would not give him the nod in which case the chatter says he will run as an Independent.
The question, then, is who he draw more votes from Dem voters or Rep voters?
Face it, most people only know him from his TV show and that face recognition would be a big advantage.

You have grasped at the obvious straw and missed the real point. A Trump presidency might eschew the politics of big lobbyists altogether. I think his policies would be to push back the restrictions that hamper business. He’s mostly into real estate: watch the environmental regulations get reduced. He would scale back not only the EPA but several other agencies. I doubt he would cut back on the Military and might even increase it. Unions would hate him and might he become a president like Scott Walker? You think Bush had tax cuts for the rich???
Trump scares me. He has enough recognition and says the things middle America likes to hear. He may make a serious impact on the next election. I don’t think he would win but would his impact be good or bad for the country?
#28 Typical, you misdirected from my point…
Trump is a CEO
Presidency is a CEO job
Therefore Trump is a good fit for the job.
Politicians like Obama just lie all the time, it hasn’t worked out to our benefit hiring politicans for a CEO job.
After Obama, the argument for a CEO, including Governors, is compelling.
He certainly fits the foreign image of Americans.
#33 Why should we care what that is?
31,
Trump is a bad CEO who can’t even make money with a casino. And he’s a pandering racist idiot.
#32 Alf, Bush was CEO of Spectrum 7 (which he fucked over losing millions). You voted for him (twice). So much for your theory.
I’m sure you’re a patriot so do the country a favor and don’t vote. You’ve already done enough damage to the country and to your family and three friends.
And on another note, have you noticed how Americans have lost their sense of humor?
#37 With people like #36 is no wonder they lost it.
Obama is scared of what Trump is going to uncover in his research in Hawaii. So now he has directed the left to unload on him, hence today’s 2 minute hate.
Not only no, but HELL NO!
Trump is the perfect example of the kind of asshole who demands respect and loyalty without exception, without returning any and without deserving any. Unlike most military officers I have known, who realized that one must know how to follow orders before one is qualified to give them, he thinks he deserves to be the Top Dog just because he inherited some money and managed to make some along the way. Even a blind squirrel finds a buried nut occasionally.
Businessmen think they can come into office and magically straighten everything out by yelling at people. Just try that with the 535 members of Congress and see how far that gets you. I’m sorry, that just won’t work. You can’t herd cats by yelling at them, and you can’t fire them.
Success in politics requires someone who can _earn_ respect and loyalty from other fiercely independent, strongly opinionated types, which you certainly don’t get by throwing tantrums, yelling and firing people. In short, it requires a POLITICIAN.
I’ve known some politicians. Some politicians have been friends of mine. Donald Trump is no politician.
