the Apprentice is a v popular show iirc

xp

use your Trump cards to strike popular deals!

oh yeah i 4got he has a show

Maybe not for long - I remember reading that a big reason he walked back from the brink of his last "run for president" was that it would have required him to give up hosting The Apprentice (or forced NBC to give each of the other candidates their own prime time show, I guess). So if he's in "for real" this time, maybe he's gonna hand off hosting duties to one or another of his horrifying spawn?

lol donald trump is not "really" running for president donald trumps entire purpose in life is to generate publicity for donald trump which everyone happily plays along with because he is so comically hateful

he's the trump, we're the chumps

operation: chumped by trump

@DennisThePerrin
Jeb Bush is THE GODFATHER III of candidates.

good primer on the donalds fake/inherited money http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/23/business/yourmoney/whats-he-really-worth.html

1982 Wealth: Share of Fred's estimated $200 million fortune. Forbes explains: "Consummate self-promoter. Building Trump Tower next to Tiffany's. Angling for Atlantic City casino." Forbes quotes Donald: "'Man is the most vicious of animals and life is a series of battles ending in victory or defeat."'

So basically Trump is most politicians if they were less humble.

he should have used that in his speech

oh that's good

Do we need another thread to carry us through fall? This one's long already.

I guess we could make it "official"

Official Statement from Neil Young:

"Donald Trump was not authorized to use "Rockin' In The Free World" in his presidential candidacy announcement. Neil Young, a Canadian citizen, is a supporter of Bernie Sanders for President of the United States of America."

Lol

We have a thread for that btw

I say we keep this thread going until all the Republicans have finished announcing.

Vice President Joe Biden has still not ruled out a 2016 presidential run and will make his intentions known by Aug. 1, according to two Democratic sources who have been in contact with his family. While the loss of his son, Beau Biden, last month paused any political planning by the vice president, the sources tell U.S. News that family members have indicated a White House run is still a possibility. He plans to announce his decision sometime prior to the beginning of August. Dick Harpootlian, former chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party, says Biden previously indicated to him he would likely make up his mind in July.

He's been doing that for 27 years, and I still don't view him as more than a personable talking head on the MacNeil/Lehrer newshour.

Warren > Bernie > Chafee > HillaryDynasty > JebDynasty > the scary ones.

I was thinking that surely it hurts Chafee to have crossed the floor but then Reagan switched allegiance too (earlier in his career). Also Rick Perry.

We've got a new thread, crew:

a clown car full of millionaires: the 2016 presidential primary thread

Mods, close this one, please...?
