The person getting huge amounts of press coverage is a real estate mogul with strange hair. But why is he getting press? He is saying all sorts of batshit crazy things because it gets him coverage. It sucks all the oxygen out of the air so no one is talking about anything of substance. The part I find funniest about this candidate is that he has reversed himself from the things he said just 10 years ago. Things about abortion, marriage, even the current President he praised just a year ago.
He is saying he is better at business than everyone else. Well, he did file for bankruptcy 3 times. But it was a business tactic to make it so he didn't have to pay the debts he owed. So he came out of bankruptcy without paying his bills. Brilliant.
He says he would get together with China, sit across the table from them and tell them, "Listen, you've had your fun..." Are you fucking kidding me? Does he have a few Chinese in mind or all 1.3 billion of them? (that would be a big room.) He thinks that tactic will work? They are going to stop manipulating their currency because you talked to them like some tough guy from New Jersey?
He was asked about the right to privacy in the Constitution by a reporter. He said it's in the Constitution. But he didn't know that right is what legalizing abortion was based upon. The Palin moments are not great for an election, but they do create great television.
Running for President has a lot of ego and bravado that goes with it. But if anyone is going to do it, be informed. If you've had 3 wives, don't try to hold yourself up as some moral compass. The last time he was in a church was probably been when he was buying a property to tear it down to build a casino.

The fact that our press was covering this and not the real news is yet ANOTHER reason I'm seriously contemplating leaving. I swear I'm more and more embarrassed to American every day.
