Which means an even MORE successful reality show later. It's July. We're still 16 MONTHS from an election. He'll be gone by February.Skjellyfetti wrote:He had already dropped out of the 2012 campaign at this point (he dropped out May of 2011).AZGrizFan wrote: To be more precise: Attention for his next reality show after he drops this "campaign".
This year it's July and he's in the lead and not going away any time soon. It ain't the same.

I agree on the first part, but he certainly doesn't want another Dem in office so why splinter the republicans?houndawg wrote:Attention.ASUG8 wrote:I'm still trying to figure out Trump's angle. I truly don't think he really wants to be president, but he's incendiary equivalent of driving a truck full of explosives into the GOP candidates and see what shakes out in the end. Maybe he's there to make the other guys expose their views on sensitive subjects and he's the vetter-in-chief for the Republicans.
Either way, I see Trump flaming out within the next 3-4 months. He's going to step hard enough on his dick soon and it won't be recoverable.
He does the same thing every time he "runs". As soon as the heat gets turned up he quits. Today's conks are even more stupid than their predecessors so Trump's schtik is lasting longer than usual.

I agree that a campaign between these two would be a hoot. I'd love to watch the campaign, but the result, not so much...Ivytalk wrote:Trump vs Sanders would be a hoot!
Never happen, but it would be hysterical! Larry David will play Sanders in the movie.
