I'd vote for his hairpiece. That's about all he really brings to the field over everyone else.

He's just running to keep his name in the news, like 80% of the Republican candidates.

I can half-imagine a scenario where he stays around for a while. A non-insignificant number of people got interested in Ross Perot's campaign which was based on his business experience and Trump can obviously self-finance for as long as he pleases. The combination of those can potentially get him a seat at the primary debates which would be entertaining.

Has any businessman ever made a good President?

Yeah, he'll be good for the entertainment aspect if nothing else. He's always been good at getting a reaction out of people; helps make the other candidates look more like sane well-adjusted human beings.

He doesn't need to be a good president, he just needs to be a good candidate and get people to think "Yeah, he can run a company so he can run America!!"

These are the same people who compare their household checkbook to a federal budget. A strong sense of political history isn't required.

Right, that's what it would take to get elected; but I was wondering, of the businessmen who have been elected, has any of them been a good President? I can only think of a couple, one mediocre and one terrible.

Doesn't he do this every 8 years? How is this not a publicity stunt?

Pretty sure he either did it or strongly hinted at it last election cycle, and of course it's a publicity stunt.

He's publicly toyed with it for several cycles. This is the first time he's declared candidacy (which has actual legal ramifications).

And what IS it with candidates using music without permission from artists that hate them and condemn their world view in the very song they choose to represent said world view? Has Trump ever heard any part of "Rockin' in the Free World" besides the phrase "free world"? Because it's not an endorsement of American policies or values.

So it all started, I suppose, with Reagan using this, to Springsteen's horror:

Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up
Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hands
Sent me off to a foreign land
to go and kill the yellow man
Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "son if it was up to me"
Went down to see my V.A. man
He said "son don't you understand now"

Had a brother at Khe Sahn fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there he's all gone
He had a woman who lived in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now

Down in the shadow of penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go

Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a long gone daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a cool rocking daddy in the U.S.A.

Then George Sr. wanted to use "Don't Worry, Be Happy" which... I can't even deal with that. THEN Michelle Bachmann showed us what clueless looks like by choosing this one:



Well, she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin'
That there was a little more to life somewhere else

After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep

O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Well, it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach

And for one desperate moment
There he crept back in her memory
God it's so painful when something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach

O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl


Although I guess it fits, if you want your campaign to be about missed opportunities and regret.

Presumably, the mods we know least well are the most diligent. They don't spend time chatting and **** like that.
