The thing I hate most that I keep hearing about Trump is he's a straight shooter and says it like it is. I mean really? That is the criteria for some people? I also vaguely remember a lot of people saying the same thing about George W Bush.

It was that people thought "they could have a beer with" George W. Bush. That was enough for many people.

Nah, airport bars are the worst places to have a conversation. Unless it's the bar in the executive lounge with free wells. Those are pretty entertaining.Watched a dude get really miffed that some 'young money' wanted to watch NFL instead of golf. I'm using that as my analogy for the election.

People that don't follow politics like Trump because he isn't a politician. They think that all politicians are corrupt and tend to ascribe to the "throw the bums out" approach.

They're not following what he's been saying and certainly didn't watch his announcement.

Does Paul even want to be a politician? Nothing about him really implies he does. He likes to stand up an flap his jaws on C-Span and go on about whatever milquetoast libertarian bullshit he's got bouncing around in his head that day, then wait for the online praise to roll in, but that's all I've ever seen from him. He sure doesn't seem like someone that cares about his state, much less his constituents.

At least King wasn't scared to talk to a Mexican student about his own party's policies. He may be a horrible person, but he's not one to back down.

Trump is openly racist, a misogynist, and probably more corrupt than the average politician. How, in the YOOL 2015, is he garnering such support? Even if t is just a post announcement bump it defies belief that such a large percentage would support such a person.

He's garnering like, 10% of the GOP vote in polls. I would say more than 10% of Republican voters are openly racist and misogynist, no question about it. It isn't unusual, and since he's just announced and is saying everything they like and is well known, this shouldn't be shocking.

According to 538 however he has the worst favorability rating of any polled presidential candidate since 1980: http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/why-donald-trump-isnt-a-real-candidate-in-one-chart/

He wishes he was as popular as ol' GW.

Almost as many people (47 percent) approve of how Bush handled his eight years in office as disapprove (50 percent), according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. That's the highest approval rating for Bush since December 2005.

RECOGNIZE HULK

I expect to hear about more fantastic endorsements like this. So many clowns splitting the vote means everyone has to find undivided pools of voters. Trump of course has endorsed himself, so the game is afoot! Who will get the coveted Palin, Robertson, Breitbart and Rush endorsements? Jeb! already sucked up all the respectable people who can't deliver any votes, poor guy just doesn't understand where he's at.
