Lot of ex-wives and family. Only 1 billionaire on the list (Its not Donald). Did not quite deliver on the rich and powerful the all-star lineup as promised. Fund-raising will continue to plague the Trump campaign if this list is anything to go by. And by all counts, he should probably not get the nomination without an endorsement from Romney and Ryan.


If you can pick the billionaire out I'll throw you a cookie and some respect.

Meh Thiel. Trump is a man of the people not just the elite. Seems like a pretty decent crowd to me. Think Trump raised what was it like 51 million a couple weeks ago? I wonder what the breakdown would be if you were to figure the polling vs money spent. Hillary proving herself to be wasteful and inefficient like her party yet again.

[AzzarTheGod]

NoT an idiot socialist who thinks billionaires and success are bad things, but this is actually a positive seeing as Trump is running on populist fervor

I think its obvious that this list strongly speaks to his lack of endorsement.

Billionaires or not, its light on commercial Fortune 500 names and high-profile politicians that aren't complete party hacks (Giuliani, Christie).

With Mike Pence in the mix as top VP pick (the male Sarah Palin) I don't know if the Don can carry the campaign on his back for much longer in this campaign. Mike Pence isn't right for the role. Its a step back from Gingrich even. Pence voted to ban gay rights which in politics is a no-go.

He has been shouldering all of the weight, and this roster further illustrates that.

You forgot to mention noted prayer warrior Tim Tebow

Why do you hate God?

[Nihilist_santa]

Most of the outliers are already supporting Trump. He is trying to shore up the rest of the party. Pense will help with that and is a beta so he wont be a threat to the Don's Alpha status. Tebow is a part of that as well. The Don is making moves folks.

[Pokesan]

O/U on how much Republican dick will be sucked by gay prostitutes over the week?

Pence is absolutely a cuck. Hannity basically called him a cuck the other night and has been shitting all over him.

How do you go from a boss like Gingrich to Pence? Looks like campaign turmoil and turbulence with a touch of cognitive dissonance.

With Pence there who said they need prostitutes.

[Nihilist_santa]

Im glad no Gingrich. I was at a speech of his and he was talking about tracking people like UPS packages. Plus Gingrich is a risk for the Don. Too much temptation to take him out like they tried with Reagan to put Gingrich in the seat.

I have been following Scott Adams' posts on Trump for almost a year now. He's been right at nearly every turn, and he thinks Trump is basically in the White House at this point because Hillary's camp has been so aggressive at branding Trump a racist. That worked for a while, as 'crooked' beats 'crazy racist', but the Dallas PD murders flipped the script on her, because 'racist' definitely beats 'cop killer'. (facts aren't important here, just image)

I believe that Trump considers Hillary a punching bag that he would much rather face than Sanders. Once Hillary is officially the Democratic nominee, I predict Trump will give two big speeches.

In the first, Trump will cast Hillary and Obama as racial polarizers who seek to turn Americans against each other. He'll blame all of police/black violence on both sides on their rabble rousing - and it will stick. Then he'll paint himself as the great racial uniter (remember, there is zero evidence that Trump is actually a racist) and schedule a whole lot of photo ops of himself kissing black babies and hugging mexicans and so on.

In the second speech, Trump will brutally twist his 'Crooked Hillary' harpoon that is already dragging Clinton to the bottom of the sea. He easily has enough material to go on for an hour or two about her incompetence and corruption.

After those two speeches all Trump has to do is not be outrageous for a few months, showing that he has self control and is not in fact crazy, and I predict he will sweep into the white house with 60%+ of the vote.

.......

Guess you missed the part where Trump's campaign has like 3 people working for it.

Who is going to write these speeches? Who is going to design this Trump curve ball and execute the PR for it in fantastic fashion?

Who is going to pull the strings?

We'll see about that. He is running a deficit thus far. His new campaign manager hasn't proven any better than the last, but as you said, the convention and immediate post-convention will be the final say on the Trump campaign. For better or worse.

[Daywolf]

That's how we got Bush sr. I'd pay money to see Romney and Ryan tarred and feathered, run out on a rail. Bonus if Gingrich too.

[JurisDictum]

Gingrich runs for president for his personal vaction fund every 4 years. He'll do it again after hillary wins.

No one takes him seriously outside the fox crowd

Phil Ruffin is the owner of Treasure Island and is an occasional high stakes poker enthusiast. Andy Beal is another billionaire friend of Trump who famously once took on "the corporation" which was a pool of about 20 poker players who pooled their money to take turns playing him heads-up where they beat him for about 30 million or so. Trump also hosted the US Poker Championship at his Taj Mahal casino.

Here's a video of Donald Trump giving poker lessons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ9SY1fGmoA

Maybe one good thing of a Trump presidency will be legalization of online poker so I can go back to taking people's hard earned money online instead of just worthless pixels.

I'm surprised you people think Trump still has a chance. Doesn't matter how the votes turn out, Hillary is the chosen one.

I follow no one, no major news outlet and I don't even discuss politics with real life friends, and I came to this same conclusion.

As far as who is going to write Trump's speeches, probably the same person that wrote the last anti-Hillary speech (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUW2-MUonbo) which brutalized her and probably swayed anyone on the fence over to his side.

A chance? I think he'll win by a landslide if they don't take him out first.

No way. There are too many cucked liberal dumb fucks that think hillary is the best thing to happen since obama.

The left's numbers are always exaggerated. The general right/conservs, they just need someone other than fail Romney or turd McCain to run. Those guys could lose a one man race. The Don is for sure a step up ...or 10.

They are still trying to lose it, all this petty bickering, it's BS. They should have given him the full go to start pounding Clinton, rather than narrowing that time down to between the convention and the general election. The real threat isn't Clinton, it's the RNC/GOP, and their obsession with losing every election :rolleyes:

[Jorgam]

I find it very funny and telling how people are all upset about Trump not having a strong show of the Super rich and not raising Gazzzzilllions of dollars from the Super Rich! A lot of these same morons cry about money in politics and the 1 person 1 vote dilemma of the Super Rich buying politicians. Only 1 politician in this race is a candidate for and of the Super Rich, and yet, the liberals proclaim to love her.

Morons unite for your Corporate Owned Manchurian Candidate! Get what's coming to ya!

[Jorgam]

Anyone taking bets that "Peaceful and Tolerant" Liberals will destroy the surrounding areas of the convention and attack/assault Republicans at the convention?
