"I don't hear (Team Obama) talking about Mr Pawlenty
or anybody else... they're only talking about Trump"
Donald Trump is already claiming to be the one Barack Obama fears the most, and based upon the telling cheap shot that

Trump's people are now investigating Obama's well-shrouded background, employing "great resources... looking into it very seriously". Like the seasoned competitor and showman that he is, The Donald also makes sure to let loose a daily round or two himself to keep that Trump name on the front pages whilst he chips away steadily at the false Obama narrative...

Trump 2012...?
Truth be told, the knee-jerk reaction was negative... then I started thinking: I want a real fighter to rip into Obama hard while also a true conservative we can depend on to swing a mean budget axe... willing to go on the offensive to unseat this heinous regime in the most aggressive fashion possible. Otherwise, the unholy Prog/MSM alliance will simply chew us up... much as they've already done to Palin, sadly.
But it's not just the debt, and of all our numerous simultaneous crises the economy is the one likely to make or break the 2012 election, barring a terrorist attack or other momentous event.
Who do we have running (or thinking about it) that possesses the acumen for jump-starting entrepreneurs and small business? We can't affford to fail this time, the country's on the financial ropes. Besides Donald Trump, maybe Mitt Romney... but I'd take Trump over him or any similar RINO in a New York minute- wouldn't you?

Clearly Trump would fight like a tiger... and have fun doing it, a key to success in any endeavor. Add to that essential quality his business background, powerful name recognition, winning take-no-prisoners style and true conservative platform (below)... I'm going to give the guy a real serious look... if he can beat Obama, I can't say I'd have any real issues with a Trump presidency.
He also has vast experience dealing with politicians of all stripes -both domestic and international- and I doubt any personal baggage 3x married Trump brings will make a difference this time- the country is scared, and seeks a firm hand bringing practical solutions stat.

Trump has stated he'll "probably" run as an independent if denied the GOP nomination... so we all better get used to the idea of a Trump 2012 campaign- seems a near certainty.
The balance of any Trump platform might be expected to look a little something like this, based on prior statements...
more conservative than expected? That was my impression:
more conservative than expected? That was my impression:
- Pro-life
- Pro-gun
- Full repeal of ObamaCare
- Reduced foreign aid
- Supports a fair trade policy and believes generally that the People's Republic of China should be considered more of an adversarial competitor, subjected to significant import tariffs as a response to China's currency policy in order to help balance the U.S. budget.
- Believes the U.S. should disengage in Iraq and Afghanistan
