Trump to McCain: 'You're Hired!'

The Daily Beast - Meghan McCain

Is The Donald serious? As his poll numbers continue to soar, it’s starting to look that way. On TV, Trump headlines The Apprentice, but on the telephone with me he sounded like he was considering a presidential run. He even invited me to his press conference later this spring, where he could announce his decision. One of the biggest obstacles for the Republican Party is they’ve yet to find a candidate with the same mass appeal and charisma as Barack Obama. If Trump runs, he’ll dominate the airwaves. He could actually pull it off in the same way Arnold Schwarzenegger surprised the pundits and became the governor of California. I talked to Trump about his chances.

First I think McCain needs to learn how to ask hard questions and not tell us what we need to think.

Then I think that his ego is larger than Obama's which will do him in on the campaign trail - think Theresa Kerry - but overall he is an idiot who bullied his way around to making money which WON'T work in politics. Making back room deals, bullying people to sell their property, paying off organized crime and being a TV star is not being a good politician.

I would have a little more respect for him IF he made his money by starting out with nothing and working his way up AND if he didn't have the crap TV shows where reality is sparse and the outcome has already been determined.

I am starting to think that Trump is actually a "plant" by the Democratic party.

I do too, I have not figured out how he goes from a pro-dinkens supporter to some what of a conservative.

Meghan McCain is a little lib in her own right. And she was surprised that media who supported her daddy during the primaries were, all of a sudden, turning their back on him in the general election. Then there's that BS about the conservatives getting in line with the rest of the Republicans. Up yours!
