The Donald appeared on FoxNews this morning and said he was interested in exploring a run for the Presidency as probably a Republican. He talked about how China was kicking our butts and how we need to do better to compete with them or we're toast. Question will he lose the rug before running?

Steps to compete with China:

1) Acknowledge you will never beat them on menial unskilled labor
2) Acknowledge they will never beat you on skilled labor, IP protection, or R&D
3) Proceed to get the government the f*ck out of the way. Out of education. Out of labor. Out of spending on welfare-warfare states that cause us to loan money from China all the time.
4) Profit!

Rather have Herman Cain. Only reason Trump would even be considered by people is because he's famous. I'm sick of superstar politics. He's rich, yes, but he's also gone broke many many times and I don't want to see America as his new erector set.

Fixed.

Why would they never beat us on skilled labor? They have a billion people. Numbers alone make it seem extremely possible they could do so in a short time with proper funding. They've obviously caught up to us pretty quickly in manual labor. They have better energy solutions than us already. What would stop them from catching us in other areas?

Maybe their bottom 85% will lag, but there's no reason to think their elite can't catch up in a relatively short amount of time.

You've misjudged China.

1) American corporations owe no alligence to the US.
2) America rights of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, is lost to the communists.
3) American criminals languish in the prison system for years, China, bullet to brain with bill to family.
4) American secrets, achieved thru extraordinary blood and treasure were stolen and given to the Chinese. (We should charge them 800 billion.)
5) Their population is over 1 billion and the state of China is buying up natural resources around the globe. Something America cannot compete with.
6) The US is too mired in chaos and hatred to even notice how China is moving to defeat us.

You mean after all this time he doesn't know if he leans to the left or right? All he would do is steal votes from the right like Perot did.

He offered to team w/ Oprah last time around. She declined.

This is just stupid.

Election night 2012.

Obama approaches the lecturn for his concession speech. True to Democrat form he rips the voters for being too stupid to re-elect him.

The scene shifts to Trump HQ as Trump prepares to claim victory. The winning candidate looks into the camera and says, "Obama. You're fired!"

But for this very nice fiction I would find it very difficult to get behind The Donald for President.
