Trump Hints at Presidential Run - By Katrina Trinko - The Corner - National Review Online

Some operative quotes:

"He also continued his criticism of Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget plan, saying that Ryan had “put himself too far out in front.”
“I’m not for doing anything at all negative to senior citizens,” Trump said. “I want to make the country strong so that we don’t have to do the kind of cutting that a lot of people are talking about doing.”
“I don’t want to hurt senior citizens with Medicare or Medicaid. I don’t want to be involved in big cutting or any cutting at all in terms of those things. … The greatest way to solve the problems, the deficits, is to have the country roaring,” he added.
Trump also lashed out at Karl Rove, after a clip was aired of Rove dismissing Trump’s birther promotion as a “losing strategy.”
“I don’t have to listen to Karl Rove,” Trump said. “[Rove] gave us Obama because he gave Bush advice and look what happened. Abraham Lincoln couldn’t have beaten Obama or any other Democrat after what happened with Karl Rove. So he doesn’t have to give me advice.”"

I just grabbed a bunch of stuff to post because, if I was a political hack and could bend some ears I would suggest to some candidates - i.e. Sarah, "Drill Baby Drill," to jump in right after he announced. What better way for someone big media, "Country Club Rebuplicans" and the party elite have labeled foolish, unbalanced and out-of-touch with the American voters to appear wise, rational and on track with American voters than follow Donald Trump and his flappying attention getting mouth and his poorly thought out policies and political views. "The Donald", in my opinion, is in the same general category as The President, you can just shoot from the hip and you are going to do a whole lot of damage.

Another perspective might be - if I was a political hack and could bend some ears I would suggest all Republican candidates hold off announcing. The greatest weapon Republican's have against the President is... none other than The President! The longer time goes on and Barack Obama's ineptitude, ignorance, inability to lead and poor decision making is on display - American voters will continue to abandon his "Hope and Change." Making the target of Barack Obama even a greater size (Exponentially) to hit and the campaign about him.

Finally - watch out! Some journalist is actually going to have a brain fart, do some work and investigate Mr. Trumps voting record. Mr. Trump is going to end up in the wealthy Country Club Republican non-voting clubhouse with Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorinna.
