The thought of Trump nominating Supremes scares the heck out of me. It would be better than Hillary's choice (probably), but worse than any Conservative. I'm not sure about that.. How'd the last couple GOP nominations go? IIRC, one of 'em gave us the ACA..

Hell, I like his ideas. Instead of an all out boots on the ground war, just cut the $$$ and starve them to death.

If Mexico can't control it's citizens from jumping the fence, starve their ass. Fantastic! If China don't come around... You get the picture

I can't imagine Trump being interested in having the job of presidency dictate his every waking moment for the next 4 years, much less 8.
I also see corruption charges in about 30 seconds as he uses his presidential power to swing influence toward his business strategies. Trump wouldn't even see that as being ethically wrong.

It would be fun to him and a challenge. It's the one thing he doesn't already have.. Why not?

Not lost it, joined it. To ignore him with the mindset of today's population will be foolish. I won't argue there. I know a guy who has a relative who works for Trump - and sez (only to my friend) that Trump's the biggest a-hole he's ever known or worked for.. At the same time - maybe that's exactly what the GOP needs to get them off their worthless, collective azzes.. one of my best friends who put himself through eye dr school working for me, married a nice philly girl who's mother works for trump. my brother and i have open invites to any fights at his place in atlantic city. i haven't gone but john has three times to watch title fights, has never cost him anything but airfare. So i don't think he's all that bad if he allows his employes perks like that.

One would like to think, but in my experience, nobody becomes that wealthy unless it is, indeed, all about the money. And that's cool, but it is what it is.

A huge mega-ego doesn't negate the fact that he has a brilliant mind for business and probably a sixth sense for smelling deals.
The huge ego creates huge self confidence which is good for risking all with an assurance of winning, or if you lose, an assurance that you'll win it all back.
But IMO he would be a disaster as a President. A completely self centered asswhole with a huge ego and an all or nothing attitude is not my idea of a responsible leader. Unless we got into a large scale war when that's a good leader. And he would probably get us into a war with China or Russia or both just over some matter that offended his ego.
He'll make fun headlines and inject some humor and energy into the dog and pony show that is American Politics but hopefully he doesn't screw it up too much for guys who might actually make decent Presidents.
Or I could be completely wrong.
I want a President who will nurture an economy that allows business to succeed. I want a President who will present a foreign policy based on strength and confidence, not appeasement. I want a President who pretty much leaves everything else - everybody's little distracting hot button issues - to the people and Congress to hash out. Business acumen and confidence presented to the world with a "who gives a sh*t about your petty little concerns" attitude toward everybody else - Donald could do that. It would certainly be interesting to see him in action at a major summit with Putin or other world leaders.
I never would have thought an actor would be a good President to bring us out of the hangover of the VietNam years and the sick economy of the 70's, but Reagan was just that. So you never know, maybe Donald is the right guy at the right time to repair the damage that Obama created.
In any case, he'll make good theater.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

"the more tuned in and educated of working government"
That's an asset?? That's a problem to me with our current corrupt government.
