    Trump's strongest point is that he is anti-political correctness. As to everything else, so far, not so much.

    Why limit yourself to left wing socialists? They have been 100 percent winners in the art of failing and are none of them are friends of the Constitution. I fail to see the attraction except in the case of Secular Progressives. But then to paraphrase one commentator the republicans are unperfected Socialists while the Democrats are really close to being perfected socialists. We need a new term. CINO for Citizens In Name Only.

    You can't come up with other choices than the Same Old Tired Socialist Roaders offered by the Government Party?

    He has yet to clearly identify who and what he is. Yes, he's veeerrry rich, and he talks a good game, but he hasn't as yet told how he's going to do what he claims, when he is going to do it and why it needs to be done. Generalities are OK when speaking platitudes, but he's proposed some interesting but radical ideas and it's more important to know how he'll do it than who is going to be in his cabinet at this point. Whoever they are, they are going to need direction and we must know what it is.

    Remember, George H.W. Bush had some pretty nasty things to say about Reagan, who fired back, but they made a pretty good team nonetheless. I think Trump and Fiorina would tell you that taking anything said in competition seriously gets in the way of the deal.

    His comments, in effect, were that she wouldn't get votes because she was ugly. Sorta the pot calling the kettle black. The intelligent thing to do would have been to criticize what she said. He can't because, first what she says is right, and second, he doesn't have the intellectual capacity, and thrird, she's rather attractive, not in the Charlize Therone sense, but just a good looking woman.

    I want Mark Cuban as VP. Between the two of them, there would be no place for the lying, manipulating, politically correct useless politicians to hide !!

    I disagree... I build a lot of program/project proposals & bids for government agencies, military, etc. We propose and provide resumes for the entire key staff / team, indicating, this is who will operate the program/project if we win.

    I like the idea, he is saying "if you vote for me, this is what my team will look like". Donald Trump wouldn't be out chasing criminals. Seeing who would is an interesting aspect.

    In our bids, it is obviously "proposed" because if the agency takes 6 months to award the contract, we're not leaving $100k to $250k people sitting on the bench hoping for a maybe/if. If we reallocate them, we document the changes upon award, but try to keep as much of the proposed team as possible.

    Similarly, Trump indicated he was bringing Carl Icahn for economic liaison to China/Japan... which is brilliant as well... I don't think Obama can spell "Currency Manipulation", let alone understand it, or any of his 'advisors'. We had the same problem with Clinton... Remember Joselyn Elders as surgeon general with "Clapner" and teaching kids to masturbate in grade school?

    I loved how Hillary will 'get tough' with Iran and 'use military action if necessary'... Just like Clinton did with the USS Cole (nothing), and how he turned down Bin Laden's head when the Saudi's offered him up. Then sent Tomahawks in to blow up empty/deserted campsites.

    If Trump can illustrate out what the cabinet 'Dream Team' would look like, it's a compelling approach. Would you rather look at something like that and think? "Yeah, these guys can do that." Or guess out of thin air which 'major donors' or 'money aggregators' are going to get those jobs under a Bush or Clinton presidency.

    So vote for an Obama clone like Hillary or Biden and see what you get. Vote for Carson or the other Repub candidates and get some screaming religious zealot. Vote for a third Bush? The apple doesnt fall far from the tree I suspect. At least with Trump, he will tell it like it is without lying to us like Hillary. He made his money already and doesnt need political correctness. He has to be in one of the two parties in order to be elected- no independents actually can get enough electoral college votes.

    He has no political correctness. Thank god for that. We need the issues brought out to be thought about, and Trump certainly does that. I didnt read his Fiorina comments, but there is probably something to what he said. His comments about Ben Carson certainly brought out the phony sounding "god" stuff that Carson has been spouting. We dont need god stuff in federal government- after all which "god" should the government listen to? Iran's god, mormon god, there are hundreds of "gods" people believe in.

    Trump has three negatives.

    He's a Republican and therefore a member of the Government Party Coalition and there fore left wing.

    He's a corporatist socialist

    I have a rule on note voting for anyone who fits that description.

    After the way he's spoken about Fiorina, he wouldn't dare nominate her, lest she poison him!

    I'd love to see Trey Gowdy clean house in the Department of (in)Justice. Obama has turned it into a pack of political hitmen.

    A bit premature, I would think. Seems like Trump has already crowned himself the winner. However, if he keeps making stupid remarks like he did about Fiorina, I doubt he'll get the nomination. I may like what he says, but this guy is so full of himself he thinks that he can get away with denigrating people on irrelevancies and get away with it. I'm OK with people who have strong egos, but I'm beginning to think that Trump's ego display is covering up some sort of inadequacies.

    This is a brilliant move on Trumps part. Laying out his cabinet picks will reveal his true colors and clear up the "Trump is a RINO" argument. Lets see if he does it.

    Trump remains the ultimate marketing scion, keeping the media off balance. He's clever to announce Gowdy as the AG he would want in his cabinet, as this is enormously popular with conservatives. He's also dropped Sarah Palin's name, without any specific position identified. If he continues to maintain his position as leader, and as other wannabes begin to drop out, it will be revealing who he names as the person he wants for VP. Cruz seems to be aiming for that spot, if Trump doesn't collapse, but Trump might go for Fiorina or Carson, since they have less extreme images and a solid following of their own.

    Yes, it's premature for Trump to be picking his cabinet, but a fun exercise, nonetheless.

    I've been thinking Ron Paul would be a good choice for Secretary of the Treasury.

    Other ideas for a dream team cabinet, guaranteed to cause cranial hemorrhaging in liberals?

    Few would be better qualified to serve as Attorney General than Trey Gowdy.

    Isn't the man premature? I do not believe there has been an election and he was the winner.
