Should Republicans nominate Donald Trump in 2016? Trump was the most beloved candidate among Republicans in 2012, making a strong showing in many polls before announcing he wouldn't run. He's already got name recognition across the country and he proved he has the necessary leadership skills during the birth certificate incident. Could Donald Trump save the Republican Party?

Why not? He could even self fund part of his campaign like Mitt Romney or Meg Whitman or Linda McMahon. Being able to self fund is a huge positive.

How did it work out for those three candidates?

They had the money necessary to compete and all of them came within a sliver of winning. I think Trump's charisma and likeability along with his name recognition will be enough to have Hillary shaking in her heels.

Linda McMahon did not come anywhere CLOSE to "within a sliver of winning."

CT Republicans are idiots for running McMahon over Shays in 2012, and they are idiots for not having convinced him to run for Governor in 2014.

I lived in CT during McMahon's senate run and she was all over the airwaves. I motivated my friends and family to vote for Blumenthal so that made a dent in her numbers. The third time will be the charm for Linda.

...you have got to be kidding me. McMahon lost because of you? She'll win again? When? You think if she couldn't win an open seat, one of which took place during a wave year, she'll take out Blumenthal or Murphy? Is she even interested? Are you high?

While I take great offense to your accusation, I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are not a troll. I think we can have a good discussion here but this is off topic.

Let me bring it back.

Which of the early primaries can Donald Trump win? I think he would have a good chance in NH but needs to say he is anti-choice to gain an advantage in Iowa. SC will probably go to an incompetent boob like Rick Perry, What do you think?

I didn't call you a troll but I'm trying to tell you man. This thread is about Trump and whether he would be a strong candidate for the GOP. He is more charismatic than Paul Ryan and he isn't a Bush.

McMahon won't run a third time, I was mocking the fact that she thought she seems hell bent on running in every senate election. Its her money. Tongue

No, and it never will be Trump time.

He's getting old so it has to be now if he's going to do it. Would you vote for Trump or Clinton?

88 year old Walter Mondale could beat Donald Trump.
