Everyone is saying Trump will never be President. They said that about 'old washed-up movie star', Ronald Reagan who became President at 69 years old.

Ronald Reagan had already been a Governor for almost 20 years when he ran while Trump was the boss on Celebrity Apprentice prior to running so the cases are a bit different.

Well, aside from that, Ronald Reagan was also seen as a bit of a joke. Before and while he was President.

He ended the cold war so for that alone he has to be regarded as one of the great Presidents, but he also negotiated with terrorists, created the horrendous concept of trickle down economics and even sold arms to know terrorists groups. How good a job did Reagon really do?

I think Putin was referring to Trump's business acumen which he undoubtedly has.

Four bankruptcy's

"I don't like the B word," Donald Trump said in 2010 while testifying in a New Jersey bankruptcy courtroom about his gambling company, Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc., which had filed for bankruptcy for the third time. Given the number of times Trump has flirted with bankruptcy, you'd think he'd be used to that word by now.

In 1990, the banking institutions that backed his real estate investments had to bail him out with a $65 million "rescue package" that contained new loans and credit. But it wasn't enough, and nine months later the famous developer was nearly $4 billion in debt. He didn't declare personal bankruptcy, although his famous Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, N.J., did have to file for it (bondholders ended up taking a 50% stake in the investment). Trump's economic troubles continued through the early '90s, while he was personally leveraged to nearly $1 billion. In 2004, Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts also filed for bankruptcy. The company was only a small portion of Trump's real estate empire, but he did still have to personally cough up $72 million to keep it afloat. In 2009, the same company (by then renamed Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc.) filed for bankruptcy again. Yet during all of this, no one ever told Trump, "You're fired!" Probably because no one could.

Trump's never going to win, the Republicans haven't processed the fact that the white middle class vote isn't enough to win the White House any more and I can't see any minority voting for that Nazi.

It'll be a landslide victory for the Democrats if Trump gets the republican nomination.

It doesn't surprise me that Putin agrees with him.

Welcome to America Trump style.

You would think so, but remember the Bush voting fiasco and he was talking the biggest load of rubbish ever heard at the time. If he gets in the running, I think we should all be nervous

It's been around eleven or so years since Bush was re-elected and the landscape's changed a lot since then. Trump won't win, he's too extreme and he's alienated everyone but his own supporters.

Free?... I think your definition of free and mine must differ wildly.
