She is close to 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney, the sponsor of that meeting, where she also reportedly indicated that she would probably be supporting Clinton. |

Good call, it most definitely is. A shrill dummy spit if ever I saw one.  |
Think you missed most of the article there Stui:
Just to remind you:
"...But few, if any, Republicans as prominent and financially potent as Whitman have gone so far to defect to Trumps Democratic opponent, who she praised for her experience and stable and aspirational leadership.
Whitman is the C.E.O. of Hewlett-Packard Enterprise and former C.E.O. of eBay...."
Enjoy...

Another shrill comment  |
nah, no corner, no backing. 
I have no emotional investment in this at all, I'm just an interested onlooker

Serious question - does he really want to become President?
All along I've thought he was " having a laugh" and never quite expected it to get this far - I'm not sure he actually gives a fck one way or another

hard to read. I wouldn't be surprised if it started out as a shits and giggles PR gig, but I reckon he's serious now it's close enough to taste.
I also do think he could be a very good POTUS, he could also be an absolute disaster and anywhere in between.

I reckon a determining factor is that Trump is such a narcissist & was so put out by Obama all those years ago when Obama (quite rightly) publicly mocked Trump for his support of the Birth Certificate fabrication put out by the extreme nutters that used to go by the name of the tea party. Basically perpetuating the myth that Obama is a muslim:

I reckon he certainly gives a f*ck - you don't spend all that money, time & energy to not give a f*ck. But it's a good rationalisation.
Having said that narcissism isn't confined to Trump alone but he certainly seems to personify it judging by his behaviour so far.

There's bounce & there's bounce. This website is an average & aggregates a number of polls:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_clinton-5491.html
Up till & including 3/8/16:
Clinton 5.9% ahead. That's an average of a number of polls - Fox gave her 10%.
Now this is tending in the right direction and as time progresses so too does Clinton's lead over the combover.
Still much water to pass under the bridge, can't catch your chickens before they hatch, he who laughs last laughs ........last...

Still wouldn't write off Trump, he is the almighty comeback King after all.
The fat lady hasn't even started warning up her voice yet. A very long way to go in this totally bloody unpredictable, gaffe (from both sides) prone election.

This is what I love about this election, Trump just totally shit the bed out of nowhere. What I want to know is who are these people who get polled who change their vote based on whatever media story is running at the time? I find it completely absurd that up to 20% of the electorate is just blowing in the wind day to day. Will those obviously uninformed and easily led people actually bother to get out and vote?
A long way to go in a surprisingly short period of time now, strap in and enjoy the ride because there's nothing any of us can do about it. |

Ain't no one writin' no body off in this here parts. A lot of water to go under the bridge. At the same time it is nice to see the combover get some comeuppance
