Trump Won’t Rule Out Reentering 2012 Race

By Art Gallagher

Declaring that no candidates in the current field of Republicans can beat President Obama in 2012, this morning Donald Trump told Fox and Friends that he wouldn’t rule out reentering the race for the GOP nomination for president.

Personally,  I think Trump left the race too soon and that his presence in the campaign was positive.

Trump’s unique position in American culture as an accomplished business leader and an entertainment celebrity gives him a voice and a platform from which to criticise the President that no one else can match.  Unlike other candidates who could be politically damaged by counter attacks by the Obama campaign and the main stream media, Trump gets stronger and his stature elevated by the counter attacks. He really is biggest threat currently to Obama’s reelection.

By leaving the door open to enter the race late, Trump has taken back the platform he gave up when he said he wasn’t going to run.   I hope he keeps using it to weaken the President politically.

    Is this an “I was for it before I was against it” moment? Seriously now, this is getting bizarre. Enough is enough. Make up your mind Donald. People won’t want a Presidential candidate that says maybe this, maybe that. After all, THAT’S what we have now.

    If however, you wish to continually go after Obama, fine.

    That’s why I like him in the race, Freespeaker. Trump goes after Obama like no one else can. The main stream media doesn’t hurt him when the criticise him. On the contrary, they make him stronger.

    I don’t think Trump will be the nominee. I don’t think he wants to be the nominee. However, I think his presence in the race makes Obama weaker politically, which will benefit the eventualy nominee.

    Why anyone would take this guy seriously is beyond me. First he is a sleaze ball. How many little people has he screwed. How many times has he filed bankruptcy.
    Second it is obvious this whole I wanna run for president thing is just a PR scam he is running.
    Third. I have come to the conclusion that ANYONE who appears on any reality TV show is an idiot.
