I doubt it. He can invest money, ok but this does not mean he can pick the next President. We shall see.

You have to be able to laugh at yourself. Humor is a good stress breaker.

This article makes it seem that if Trump is elected, positions to be filled will be based on personal financial decisions (unlike what Trump is touting now) verses ability to perform - and I don't think that's a good model. I never believed that the richest people in the world are the smartest. They are obviously savvy in one particular area, business, but as we often have seen in the past, business can be ruthless and corrupt - just like politics and I don't necessarily see it as a better model (to hire business people to run the country).

It is way to early to tell anything in this race. I think Trump has the problem that the more people learn about him the less likely they are to continue their support for him as President. He has great name recommendation and he is not part of the political establishment, which is why he is leading currently. As the field starts to shrink, I think we will see the Trumps numbers stay about the same and others catch and pass him.

Who cares what he says? I believe Reagan was a longshot.

I don't think anyone can predict the outcome of elections. Just because they are both billionaires, doesn't mean they can predict anything.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - Mikel; You can find the raw data for the latest released poll covering who did how well in the "Republican Potential Candidates for Candidates Debate" here.

Of course any so-called "Polling" results from this left-wing, liberal, socialist, commie organization are always suspect.

PS - Am I being overly cynical when I suspect that some of the support for Mr. Bush is because some people believe that he is the President of the United States of America and the country should never change presidents in the middle of a war?

I doubt it. I've only heard of this guy (Icahn) in passing before, so for me to believe anything he has to say regarding politics I take with a grain of salt.
