Topic: Up Like Trump - page 279. (Read 572822 times)
My point of view is that Donald Trump has to keep his fingers on his business. Everybody with a lot of money in the world we are living in thinks that he can represent the people in the greatest way possible. That is so wrong. You need a man who knows what the people need, who can speak for the people.
Insiders warn Jeb: Don't engage with Trump
'The old maxim applies: Never wrestle with a pig.'
When Jeb Bush and Donald Trump share a debate stage next week, Bush needs to ignore the real estate mogul at all costs —and if that fails, laugh him off.
That’s the advice given by more than half of the POLITICO Caucus, our weekly, bipartisan survey of the top activists, operatives and strategists in Iowa and New Hampshire.
“The old maxim applies: Never wrestle with a pig,” counseled a New Hampshire Republican. “You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.”
At the first GOP primary debate, slated for Aug. 6 in Cleveland, Bush and eight other Republicans will share the stage with Trump, the bombastic businessman who is leading the Republican field in recent polls and dominating headlines. Trump has been critical of a host of other GOP candidates, but he is an especially sharp and persistent critic of Bush — even attacking Bush in his own announcement for president.
But insiders have a message for the former Florida governor: do not engage. Many Republicans expect Trump will zero in on Bush in the debate — and how Bush responds could go a long way toward shaping perceptions about his cool under fire. Bush has not tussled as frequently or as heatedly with Trump as other GOP candidates have, and several insiders advised that the longer the focus is on Trump’s battles with the others, the better it is for Bush to quietly consolidate support while others struggle to break through.
“With Trump being Trump he will be the news of the debate 24/7 and no one else will break through,” a New Hampshire Republican said. “This helps Bush by keeping anyone else down in the pack.”

Footage: Donald Trump arrives in Turnberry, Scotland, for Women's British Open golf tournament
For anyone slightly confused as to why Donald Trump was at Scotland’s famous Turnberry golf course, the US presidential hopeful, had the best response.
Arriving for the Women’s British Open at Turnberry – the hotel and golf course that Mr Trump purchased in April 2014 and renamed Trump Turnberry – the controversial Republican presidential candidate was asked by a Scottish reporter whether his celebrity appearance might detract from the golf tournament.
“Everyone’s asked me to be here: the Tour’s asked me to be here, the world has asked me to be here,” he said.
The businessman is set to be at the tournament for two days before returning to the US, with the Women’s British Open the first major event staged at Turnberry since Mr Trump bought the property and land.

Donald Trump Leads ALL GOP Candidates With Hispanic Voters, Records 34% Favorability
Presidential candidate Donald Trump leads other GOP contenders among Hispanics, a recent poll shows.
Trump recorded a 34% favorability rating among Hispanics in a national poll conducted by Public Policy Polling (PPP) among 1,087 registered voters between July 20-21.
Trump has made immigration a seminal part of his campaign, receiving praise, but also criticism, from the political left and right.
During a much-publicized visit to the border in Laredo, TX last Thursday, Trump told reporters he thought he would “win the Hispanic vote.”
Gov. Bush (R-FL) follows Trump with a 31% favorability rating among Hispanics, and Senator Cruz is close behind with 30%.
Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Rand Paul (R-KY) both recorded 29%, Gov. Scott Walker (WI-R) 26%, and businesswoman Carly Fiorina 25%.
Rounding out the poll was Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) with 21%, and former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR) and neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson, both with 16%.

A direct threat to a presidential candidate...
Wil, your thread topic headlines always catch my eye!
The Donald is doing an interesting thing in politics. The US needs a rogue voice to inject some honest opinion and direct conversation in the usual pre-scripted political dialogue. It's also interesting to see how his competitors respond. Some rise (yes rise) to that level of honesty and direct approach, most will not. This could lead voters to vote Democrat (i.e., Hillary) if they think that Trump represents the "crazyiness of the Republican party".
The problem I have with Trump (aside from not agreeing with some of his opinions) is that he doesn't appear to understand that he needs to represent the Country, not himself. A guy representing a country can't make off the cuff remarks that are potentially slander to a race of or large group of people.
Penn Jillette has an interesting opinion on the Donald and his candidacy (aside from the personal feud Donald seems to have with him.)

This is so early in the campaign. Who knows how far he will go. He has personal, selfish reasons to make america great again. A booming america is good for the trump universe. He is in love with himself. All politicians are in love with themselves. Trump is very open about it. Not an hypocrite. Also not a dummy. Politically he is not a hardcore republican, nor was he a hardcore democrat. He is a businessman. Hillary says she is an open book (not an open email server, but that's for another thread of mine). Who's life was more public than trump through all those years?
I believe it is refreshing to have someone who will not cave after the first so called "mistress" will eventually come out of the cornfield, with attorney gloria allred holding her hands. You know he does not give a crap and will sue gloria until she loses her teeth.
The illegal criminals, are problematic. Not until trump talked about it, no other republicans dared talked about it, fearing of losing the hispanic vote.
I even had a thread about that subject already... Very sad situation.

Even trump can run out of steam. No matter what, hillary represents the democrats and they are stuck with her and will vote for her. He needs to have a clear program.

Mark Cuban Praises Donald Trump: “The Best Thing to Happen to Politics in a Long Time”
American businessman Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, praised Donald Trump for being the best thing to happen to politics in a long time.
“He says what’s on his mind. He gives honest answers rather than prepared remarks.”

Ivana Trump rejects rape allegations, says she and Donald Trump are ‘the best of friends’
“Donald and I are the best of friends and together have raised three children that we love and are very proud of. I have nothing but fondness for Donald and wish him the best of luck on his campaign,” she said.
“Incidentally, I think he would make an incredible President,” Ivana Trump, who divorced her husband in 1992, added.
The surprisingly warm endorsement comes just hours after the Daily Beast quoted Cohen irately defending Trump from the allegations — which stem from the 1993 book “The Last Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump” by Harry Hurt III — and explaining that even though Trump didn’t commit the heinous act, that it’s legal to rape one’s spouse.
Cohen on Tuesday morning apologized for the remarks, admitting in an email to the Daily News that he “made an inarticulate comment.”

People are starving for somebody who tells them how it is, who is not afraid to speak up.
You need to watch the whole video. It is entertaining, funny and sometime very sad. Win or lose he will not have to owe any promises to any lobbyists as he is self financing his campaign. He can spend 1B easy, if he sees the thirst for him is still there in the up coming months...
"Up like Trump" is something the donald is well aware of, as much as he was when loving/fighting/loving mac miller and his beat https://soundcloud.com/livepittsburgh/mac-miller-donald-trump
