No way he can beat Hillary, he supports her!

He will be destroyed by Hillary, he will also destroy the country, we can't correct it next time around he will have done a horrible job and a democrat will be set up to win easily.

I just don't understand why so many can't see what is happening


I don't agree with this and here's why: do you understand that as a billionaire, it would be much easier to NOT be the president? I've heard people say he's in it for his ego. Perhaps there is some merit to that. However, most folks with big egos aren't willing to take a new job that would be a significant pay cut and hand the companies they built over to their underlings while they spend 4 years doing something else. I don't buy it. It would be much easier for a billionaire to sit in his office and buy the support of whomever is in charge instead of running for President.

Lastly, I think he's getting some heat about being a closet liberal. I've read some of his past quotes and I'm not being a Trump apologist but I don't think the majority of those criticizing him are taking into account the political climate in which he lived. He was a NY city businessman. NY is probably the most liberal state in the union next to California. Hell, they've been run by Bloomberg for years and now have that idiot DeBlasio in office. It makes perfect sense to me that if you want to operate in NY, you have to at least give the appearance that you're on their side. Some will continue to believe he's a liberal and there's nothing that can be said to dissuade you. All I'll say is if he is a true liberal, it's hard to understand why he'd be taking such a conservative view on a topic like immigration.
