He couldn't afford to, Demos and republicans are looking to spend 1 beeellion, not including superpac $$ Koch bros already said 1b - zeitgeist Aug 10, 10:32
I don't trust anything he says. -- nm - Mop Aug 10, 10:11 5
- which is true for every single politician. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 10, 10:13 4
  - Pretty much. And yet I still seem to trust him less (mostly b/c he is a loose cannon) -- nm - ty97 Aug 10, 10:18
  - to varying degrees though. i mean with Trump i would be in the headspace that i would disbelieve it if he said "nice day, isn't it?" -- nm - Andie Aug 10, 10:14 2
    - I think I am tempted to believe him more, because he just don't give a shit. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 10, 10:16 1
      - He has the craven selfishness, his motivations are so easy to read. - Will Hunting Aug 10, 10:17
I don't want to give an oath because oaths are for losers. But when I give my word, I guarantee - I guarantee you - that I will make money on it. -- nm - Trump Aug 10, 10:10
So? - Strongbad Aug 10, 10:09
If I ran as a third party candidate I'd get more votes than the other parties put together. I'll give them some votes because I'm a nice guy. -- nm - Trump Aug 10, 10:05 1
- You wouldn't be talking about third parties if it weren't for me. Perot couldn't win because he only had 3 billion. And there were fewer Mexicans! -- nm - Trump Aug 10, 10:08
I'm really not sure what he gains by that. -- nm - pmb Aug 10, 10:02 11
- Another day in the headlines, at least -- nm - prayformojo Aug 10, 10:05
- I thought it was apparent from his answer in the debate that this is/was coming. - ML Aug 10, 10:04 9
  - because it's buried in a mountain of unintelligable clauses? -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 10:08 1
    - That was Trump at his most understandable. -- nm - pmb Aug 10, 10:10
  - Gives it up for guaranteed prime time Convention slot? -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 10, 10:06 6
    - Maybe. Whatever it is, it'll be something that feeds his ego. -- nm - ML Aug 10, 10:10 5
      - As opposed to all his other ego-less opponents -- nm - jangles Aug 10, 10:12 4
        
        He's on a entirely different plane of ego. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 10, 10:18 3
        
        He just doesn't try to hide his. -- nm - jangles Aug 10, 10:21 2
        
        In any manner. Even the most-alpha's hide it in some form. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 10, 10:28 1
        
        I put Cruz and Walker and Rubio up against him any day of the week -- nm - jangles Aug 10, 10:30
"...a senior Trump adviser told ABC News." pfft -- nm - mud Aug 10, 10:02 5
- I'm dubious of the concept that there is such thing as a "senior Trump advisor". -- nm - pmb Aug 10, 10:03 4
  - Probably the same one Erickson was dealing with. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 10, 10:07
  - he had one but we got into a tiff and I left yesterday. He'll tell youhe fired me though he's lying. -- nm - roger Stone Aug 10, 10:06
  - I'm guessing, but the source is likely NWBR's evil twin -- nm - ML Aug 10, 10:05
  - He probably just disguised his voice -- nm - jangles Aug 10, 10:04
And he would NEVER break that pledge under ANY circumstance -- nm - jangles Aug 10, 10:01
Don't do it Donald! You don'tneed them! -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 10:01
