    It's about time a politician stands up for what is a great injustice.

    Rodger Goodell always talks about the integrity of the NFL.. What a joke !

    “I think it’s ridiculous the way they’ve treated him,” Trump said. “He’s a friend of mine — a great friend of mine. He’s a great guy and I think it’s terrible the way they’ve treated him. To spend $10 million in legal fees, and now it’s probably much higher than that. It’s crazy what they’re doing. He’s a great star. They ought to go back to playing football. This country has bigger problems.

    What really get me about Donald Trum is this is how he has gotten where he is.  He said something bad about El Chapo and surged from 3rd to 1st in the polls behind bush and walker. 

    He said something bad about Zuckerburg last week now this week its the nfl.  His only idea he has talked about is building a wall on the mexico border which even if he is elected is something that won't happen.

    But what really gets me is no one talks about how he came into his wealth.  He attended all private schools growing up.  When he graduated high school his dad gave him 1 million dollars to start buying real estate.

    When his dad died he inherited between 40-200 more million dollars.  Besides his companies filing for four bankruptcies Trump organization should of went broke back in 1990.  He over leveraged buying real estate.  He had 1 billion in assets and owed banks 8.8 billion dollars. 

    70 banks came together and let him default on loan payments.  Not only that but they let him take out second and third mortgages on properties to raise more money.  I don't see how he can brag about anything to do with helping the economy.

    Trump also takes advantage of laws such as this:  Trump attempted to take advantage of eminent domain laws on multiple occasions, once even demanding that an elderly widow give up her home so that he could build a limousine parking lot. 

    My hole point is trump tries to make himself out to be a self made miilionaire which just isn't the case.  Without inheritance, help from the banks, and government law he wouldn't have any more money than the average peon.  He isn't a Ben Carson from Detroit that started out dead broke alcoholic father that worked his way up.  Trump was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. 

    I don't understand why he is so popular.

    Donald Trump is a bigger joke by himself, this dude will declare trade war with Mexico, China, Korea, Japan...etc. or even sever diplomatic relationships with those countries plus Cuba if he gets elected as the President of the US. Hillary Clinton might beat Trump in a landslide in the presidential campaign, Jeb Bush will have much better odds of a fight against Clinton instead of Trump, get Bush manned up for the GOP. Trump will most likely bust GOP's butts if he wins Republican Nomination.

    Hilarious Europa, you should write comedy strips. The countries you listed have been raping America of her jobs for decades all because morons are running our government. Hillary Clinton will be a non-factor within 3 months. And spoc, so Trump took advantage of the laws and his inheritance just like foreign governments took advantage of our stupid politicians. Maybe a guy like him could straighten out a country spiraling toward 3rd world status or do you actually like watching a once great country go down the drain?

    Trump can't win the US presidency, that's my take, buddy. He presents too extremely lethal handle that will scare off many swing voters, he will likely doom GOP's chance in defeating either Clinton or other Democratic nominee. Jeb Bush is more of a moderate Republican, thus he stands much better odds, oddsmakers agree with that too. 

    2016 Republican Nominee

    Jeb Bush is Republican Nominee +160
    Donald Trump is Republican Nominee +445

    2016 US Presidential Election - Winner

    Hillary Clinton wins Election +115
    Jeb Bush wins Election +435
    Donald Trump wins Election +1000

    I take a bite on Clinton +115 over Trump +1000, Killer_B.

    Please tell me where we're succeeding BWS - I'm all ears. Economy, foreign policy, social issues, % of Americans on food stamps, deficit, wages, personal liberty. You tell me why we should stay on the current path with the crew we've been electing.

    How did standing up for Americans become an extreme position? The country manufactures nothing any more because it's been sold out. Please tell me other than deporting all the illegals where Trump is so extreme. God forbid, we enforce the current laws. Why have them? Are you a law abiding citizen or do you follow the laws you wish to?

    BWS - I stated this many times but I'll go again. Trump's not part of "The Club". He doesn't owe any lobbyists anything (he's not bought and paid for like all the others will be). He will make changes in trade with foreign governments that have been taking huge advantage of our "free trade" deals for decades. He gives examples in the speeches that I'm sure if incorrect the media would be all over. Ford is building a $2.5B plant in Mexico to make cars and sell them here. We should be making them here. Goose is always complaining about the corporate fuks. The corporate fuks could be stopped of a lot of the shenanigans with high tariffs on imports. It would level the playing field. The left wants higher minimum wages, Trump wants higher wages and production for everyone. Obama is weak on all fronts. 

    I remember asking you how old you were at one time. You were a little young to remember the Jimmy Carter / Ronald Reagan transition. The country was in a bad place in the late 70's. Reagan came in and nearly overnight things changed. For starters while his hand was in the air the Iranian Hostages were released because Iran was weary of what Reagan would do, but not concerned at all with Carter because he was WEAK. It was an amazing transformation that I'd really like to have a chance at again. WE HAVE NO SHOT OF A HUGE CHANGE WITH ANYONE ELSE.

    I think he's got them by the throat BWS. If, (and this remains a big "if") he clearly wins the primaries he'll be the nominee (they won't have a choice) because he'll go independent and then the (R's) get nothing at all. Its pretty far away but at least he's bringing enthusiasm and forcing the issue instead of allowing the most important issues to be ignored. 

    Call me naive but I still believe in the "will of the people", if push comes to shove it'll get ugly if he dominates and they don't nominate and support him like anyone else that performed as well.

    The Dems have nothing in this election, HRC will be a non-factor soon enough. Uncle Joe is going to run and the regime will do what's necessary to cut her throat (FBI all of the sudden interested in the server) is proof enough for me. This started in March and now all of the sudden they're getting around to it - I'm not buying that bill of goods... She's toast (and that is a good thing, she's as corrupt as the day is long)

    The best the Dems have...two people who were already rejected by their own party ... Bill Clintons wife who lost the nomination once and Uncle Slow Joe who is a two time loser for the nomination..

    Clearly a couple of losers ...who will lose again..

    Last week Bill Clinton played golf with President Obama trying to secure a pardon for Hillary for after she's indicted, for an illegal security breach..as soon as Biden hear about it ..What did he do ?

    He huddled privately with Elizabeth Warren on Saturday at his official residence soliciting Warren’s support.. and maybe a VP position..

    mostly agree with Killer here. This country needs a break from career politicians. Trump, while seemingly misguided on some issues, and filled with numerous sensitivities, is the candidate I trust most to take the necessary steps to make changes here in this country. His "No bulls**t" approach is infectious and for good reason.

    Hillary is IMO under too much scrutiny and wont escape from her situation without some serious damage done to her reputation. The evidence against her is beyond overwhelming and already confirmed what most knew about here going into the campaign....that she is a rotten, crooked, swindling politician that cannot be trusted and doesnt give two chits about this country. We cannot trust a woman who didn;t have the initiative to end her marriage amongst the biggest adultery scandal in the history of the U.S. If she doesnt have any respect for herself and her values then in what way is she capable of representing our beloved country?

    We all know that Trump is not the most easy person to relate with on a personal level.....but when given the choice I will always side with the candidate that is the self-proclaimed azzhole over one who is malicious and deceptively a horrible person in secret. You choose.

    While I believe that some of his ideas are a little silly such as our own great wall of china being built down south, he at least understands there is a huge issue with immigration and will take the steps he is able to within his power. (As stated before I dont think the wall would ever be built if he is in fact elected). Keeping the puzzy type in office is not going to improve our foreign relations.

    Would also like to say that those of you who think Trump doesnt stand a chance to win this election are His approval ratings have gone nowhere but up over the last several months and what makes you think they will decrease just before the election?

    Amen VV. She didn't have enough self-respect and pride to divorce Willy and we're supposed to believe she's qualified to run this country and when factoring in what's going on in the world, it's an impossibility.

    I also agree with the statement that I'd rather have the guy that doesn't lie to my face to get my vote and then calls me a fool for voting for him.

    Trump is highlighting the problems, if it wasn't for him most of them would be hush-hush because we've been lied to for so long it's a foregone conclusion that this is the reality of the country - live with it. That's not his game.

    Any question directed at Donald Trump is answered the same way... "Look, we gotta make America great again, we are weak, everyone is beating us. Let's make America great!" (Makes snarky comment about women or immigrants) And the crowd goes crazy.

    Are people seriously cheering this jackass on? What makes you think Donald Trump is going to make this country better? Do you really think he has the slightest clue about the everyday problems for the average American citizen? He's a billionaire, he does not give a fukc about you or me, he is interested in making more money and the publicity he's gaining. It's a joke.

    The biggest problem with America, stupidity. People are so stupid that they will actually keep driving up this guys ratings.  Did anyone actually watch the first debate? We have a bunch of complete morons running for presidency of our country... It's sad, sad sight and people continue to pick sides and argue about who's better.  Guess what? They are all terrible human beings who have done nothing but lie and cheat and manipulate to get their way to the top, they are ALL scum bags. 

    Bernie Sanders is the only candidate that actually has the best interest of the people in mind but sadly won't receive enough votes to win the GOP. If people actually listened to what he had to say and his policies it would only make sense for him to win
