I for one have said for years, I would like Trump to run. He has money so he can't be bought. He knows how to run business and deal with unions. He sees the 900lb elephant we have (our trade deficit) and has truly good ideas how to lower it. He has a humane side to him, moreso than W or Obama. He stated that countries that have our bases there should help with costs, if not pay all expenses for them or we ship out.
I think he made some truly great points that were overshadowed by the whole birther issue. Which is not an issue 2 years into a presidency. Can't "unelect" him and impeachment would be near impossible even if suicidal for the Dem Party. So it is a non issue to even bring up. That was Donald's biggest Charlie Sheen moment.

I met Steve Forbes on Wednesday and heard him give a speech that should have been exactly what Trump should have run on. Flat tax, strong dollar, less business regulation... I was half expecting Forbes to announce his candidacy again.
They both need to work on a good foreign policy, energy policy, and private healthcare plans (I recommend something like an IRA but just for medical expenses), But somehow get the GOP off the extreme social issues used to rile up their base.
