Donald Trump made an appearance at CPAC2011 and it was huuuuge.
Trump appeared before those assembled to tell them why he would be a better president than Barack Obama. He also thinks that he’d be a better president than any of the other nominee wannabes. The Ron Paul fans were not amused, to say the least.
After some catcalls and complaints from the Paulies, Trump told them, “you know Ron Paul can’t win, right?” This threw the Paulies into a uproar.
It all went a little something like this…
Trump has not officially announced, but this speech was his first move toward that end.
I want to thank RedCounty.com and RightPundits.com for sponsoring me at this year’s big bash.

“Trump told them, “you know Ron Paul can’t win, right?”
Hey, Donald, I got news for ya.
You’re a smart guy and everything but your chances of winning aint that great either.
NadePaul.
That was stupid, borderline disgusting

Put Ivanka at the top of the ticket and you’ve got a winner.

In today’s environment, and with a bottomless pit of money, he could win.
Right now, people are fixated on only one thing and that is the economy.
While his egomania would certainly emerge as a problem, he would at least have the expertise to look at the books and figure out a way to turn a profit.
That cannot, however, be accomplished by solely making cuts. Especially when people only want to cut programs that they find reprehensible, as they are rarely the most costly.
For example, the National Endowment for the Arts may rankle people, but the budget is small.
Efficiency of spending is a start, but as any businessman knows, the way to make money is to put more “in” the cash register.
How many companies decide to weather the storm by laying off workers, reducing product lines and eliminating advertising? I can name a lot of companies that took that strategy, e.g., Montgomery Ward.
Companies that gain market share invest more in a bad economy. Look at the industries of the future in a truly global market and devise ways to beat the competition.

Here in NY Trump is respected as a businessman to be sure, but he’s widely disliked. He and his buildings are generally seen as flashy, brash, overbearing and tacky. Hardly presidential. Plus, I’d have to assume that outside NYC people basically got to know him through The Apprentice? Since when is reality television a vehicle to politics? Oh, wait….
