He'll drop out of the election the moment he has to submit info on his finances.
Nope, he's said he's going to file his finances, and that the report is "very large". Because y'know...he's rich. That's one of the best parts about the Trump, according to The Trump. Has he mentioned he has a lot of money?


He's also said that he won't commit to backing the Republican nominee if it's not him, and and he's said this:
Quote
“So many people want to run as an independent, so many people,” Trump said. “I have been asked by — you have no idea, everybody wants me to do it.”

Democrats around the country must be jizzing themselves with glee at the thought of Trump pulling a Perot if he loses the nomination and splitting the conservative vote. It's kinda brilliant to advertise that now, because it's like blackmailing the Republican Party -- "Hey, either you nominate me, or I go all loose cannon independent on your loser asses and take this whole ship down, Trump-style. What do I care if Hillary wins, I'll still be rich."

He's also saying that he expects to win the Latino vote. (ROFLCOPTER)

Expect the right-wing rumor mills to start saying that Trump is a Democratic operative any day now.
EDIT: I'm a bit late apparently.

That word is entirely too close to schlick for my comfort, and I wanted you to know that so you can feel these emotions, too.

E: That said, it would be faintly incredible if by some vile confluence of fate, Trump became POTUS and used the inauguration speech to reveal to the world that they are, in fact, a woman. It would in no way make the situation better, because Trump would be POTUS, but it would be pretty incredible.

I'd like to think that I've become jaded to human flaw by now, but every time Donald Trump opens his mouth, I am newly amazed that so much narcissism and hubris can be concentrated in a single man.

That's bold, very bold.

Wheres that gif of someone slowly clapping in a movie theatre?

I wonder if he's banking on the huge finances bogging down the investigation and scrutiny? Not going to happen because it'll get split between teams and other rich candidates have ran before and being rich doesn't slow down the scruitiny.

He's also said that he won't commit to backing the Republican nominee if it's not him

Pff, that's just so, what's the word, selfish? Maybe that's not the word I'm looking for, but it certainly fits his ego.

Trump will drop out of the election the moment people stop throwing money at him. Campaigning is extremely lucrative!

Sully not the name of the honorable douche by comparing it to Trump. It is a device of notable hygienic value. Trump is not.

I have heard it said that the mane of the Trump may be used to ward off unclean spirits, frightened of its hideous visage.

Also, powdered Trump testicles are considered an aphrodisiac in parts of Southeast Asia. Sadly, this has caused the population to become extremely endangered, forced out of its native habitat of Las Vegas massage parlors.

I think Trump never mentally left the 80s, when his style of bluster and blinding overconfidence was more in vogue. He's built a reputation and identity off of being "that guy", and I think sort of like an internet troll, people's loathing of him just eggs him on further. As long as he publicly acts like he's winning (generally speaking, not just in the polls), he's winning in his mind. Which is fine for a jag-off rich guy, but not exactly a quality you want in your president.

Guys, he's a brand. Does a brand ever go out and say "well if you can't have me, go have this other thing we don't make." No. A brand is about promoting itself first, everything second. The Apprentice was a show where Trump could talk about how successful he was before letting someone else submit themselves to his judgment. I suspect, if he gets to the point where he needs an actual campaign logo, it's not going to be some abstract thing like Obama's. It's going to say "Trump", right there, 'cause that's the brand name and you never skimp on showing it.

In other news, it looks like Lindsey Grahm may have performed his obligatory one good act of the election cycle.
Quote
Graham said he's not afraid to let people know when he disagrees with them. And he proved it about 10 minutes later.

The same man led up to a question about the Islamic State by saying the United States should outlaw Islam in order to deal with the problem.

"You know what, I'm not your candidate," Graham said, cutting him off. "I don't want you to vote for me. I couldn't disagree with you more."

I'd be curious as to who he would think is VP material.....

Considering that there isn't a republican who is likely to even want to run as VP under him. Except maybe Palin or one of the other crazies.

Also, that text should be RED, not BLUE.

Edit: Actually, no, his ego (and his toupee) would prevent him from even CONSIDERING a VP.
