Disgusting move by Ivanka and Donald Trump should be suing her as well.
He is leading the polls, and he will not be stopped by these other RINO's.

Special in the head? Something must not click up there, her political 'career' was tragically hilarious.

I still think she's seper.
Sometimes I think that Trump is doing this as a bet with some of his billionaire friends.
"Hey guys, I bet you that I can campaign as a complete lunatic, do everything logically opposite and still get the presidential nominee from the Republican Party"
Its the only thing that makes any sense based on the things that he says.

So, if you make a caricature of a caricature, does it look like someone let Stevie Wonder loose in MS Paint?
That's what your posts remind me me of.

Or the same way that the Church of Scientology was started.

Probably a reference to her appaerent double digit IQ that starts with a number less than 8. I agree with others that Trump was taking a shot at her and it's funny considering the source. If he hadn't been born on third base, I'm sure most people would consider Trump to be just another moron as well. It's alarming the amount of people that respect him because he's Donald Trump. It must've taken a lot of ability and self determination to fall out of a rich person's hoo-hoo.

I dunno; Trump has a lot of issues, he's clearly not all there, but I definitely don't consider him to be unintelligent.

If I didn't know better, I might have thought the expression "it's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than speak out and remove all doubt" was specifically coined for Trump.
I don't think he's Palin-level dumb but I also don't think he's anything approaching smart either. He's nothing more than a narcissistic blow hard who alienates large segments of the population with his idiotic views on the way the US ought to be. A perfect republican contender for the presidency.

The thing that Trump does well is to show us how inept and how often you can fail if you are wealthy, because banks and even the government will do everything they can to help you out. This article covers how Trumps father made his money with a lot of government help, and how Trump jr really is fortunate to not be broke and out of business, on a number of occasions.
The fact he goes around bragging about his wealth and his business acumen is what gets me most, this guy if the market had its way would be penniless and out of business, but he was saved repeatedly by bankruptcy, bank bailouts and government assistance.
Add to that fact he inherited 40-200 million from his father, and we have a guy who loves to call everyone losers, but he is a clear example of privilege and a silver spoon child who should be living in a cheap apartment right now, not bragging about his wealth.

Trump eventually found himself in serious financial trouble. In 1990, due to excessive leveraging, The Trump Organization revealed that it was $5 billion in debt ($8.8 billion by some estimates), with $1 billion personally guaranteed by Trump himself. The survival of the company was made possible only by a bailout pact agreed upon in August of that same year by some 70 banks, allowing Trump to defer on nearly $1 billion in debt, as well as to take out second and third mortgages on almost all of his properties. If it were not for the collective effort of all banks and parties involved in that 1990 deal, Trump’s business would have gone bankrupt and failed.

I think the reason Trump is leading the polls is not because he's the best choice, or because Americans are stupid (which pains me to read on this forum as I believe we are lucky to have the neighbors we do) but because he represents something other than status quo. Bush is... well another Bush, and Clinton comes across as a conniving swindler with the personality of a dead moth.
I hope he wins, the outrage from lefty media will be worth it alone.

I think you are confused which media gets outraged when their guy doesn't win. That aside... you really hope Trump wins the presidency just for the lefty outrage? 
I hope he doesn't win because he's unbalanced, impulsive and can't control the #### that comes out his mouth. He also has a pretty clear history of running the things he's in charge of into the ground... Why would you want someone like that in charge of the most powerful country on the planet? For the lulz?
Luckily he has no chance in the general.

...As evidenced by the rash of hit pieces on Trump we have seen printed in the media lately.
When the other options are just more of the same, and no real leadership appears to be emerging from either side or independents... then what difference does it make?
The polls may show Trump as leading, not because he's the best choice, but like I said earlier because he represents something other than a empty suit.

Trump might be the leading choice for republicans in a field of 10 but he is actually far behind if you look at the much better predictor of success at this point time. Net favour ability ratings.
He has zero chance of obtaining the nomination let alone the general.
As fivethirtyeight has said, he is the nickleback of candidates.

I agree there is no way he will win the republican nomination. Regardless of polls, but because he would never be "their guy". He doesn't tow the party line.
If it were up to me, and it certainly isn't, Paul would be my guy for the republicans and Sanders for the dems. I think they both offer more than the rest of the candidates; namely sanity.

Trump doesn't have the organization behind him to win. Voter data wins elections. Micro-targeting of demographics...networks to Get Out The Vote... Trump has none of that. He's Smoke and Mirrors. Soundbites don't win elections. He's running a terribly unsophisticated campaign.

no kidding, the average Joe I talk to thinks Trump is a favorite to be the next president when he really doesn't have a chance. Republicans don't seem to understand you can't piss off all minorities and win an election.
I hope its Trump and Palin just for the laughs....they only reason they would even consider her is to sway women voters away from Clinton
