Donald Trump: GOP Needs ‘Perfect’ Candidate To Beat Hillary Clinton — maybe himself!
Source: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/aug/19/do
Donald Trump believes that only the perfect candidate can defeat presumed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton in the 2016 election and that candidate could end up being Donald Trump.
Its not something Im longing to do. Its not something I want to do
but if somebody else is not going to do it right, I would certainly look at it very strongly, Mr. Trump said of his presidential ambitions during an interview Monday morning on Fox & Friends. The real estate magnate flirted with a run in 2012 but ultimately decided against it. He believes its too early to make a decision about 2016, but he did say that fighting within the GOP needs to stop if the party hopes to recapture the White House.
He referred specifically to the recent flap between Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, which underscores the growing gulf between libertarian-leaning Republicans such as Mr. Paul and more moderate figures such as Mr. Christie, according to Mr. Trump.
Internal disputes with the party, if allowed to continue and grow deeper, could be the GOPs undoing in 2016, Mr. Trump added.
Unless they get together and things really happen for the better, the Republican Party theyre going to have a hard time, probably against Hillary. They need the perfect candidate, he said. If Republicans are going to win, theyve got to stop the division.
Mrs. Clinton is widely expected to run for president in 2016, and many political analysts and pundits believe shell capture her partys nomination.

As much as I do not like Trumpster, he's got more balls and brains than idiot-son;
and he don't need Daddy's money to do it.
Idiot son reigned for 2 terms,
albeit he was a puppet of his daddy and the MIC.
Big mistake to underestimate those you do not trust nor like.

(7 posts)Donald Trump, AKA Carnival Barker, as the GOP presidential nominee, um donkeys will fly first. He won't release his tax returns because we will see he isn't worth what he claims and his charitable donations might be a joke. After insulting the black community via his birther attacks on Obama, he can kiss the black vote good-bye and I am inclined to believe the same holds true for the Latino vote. In short, Hillary Clinton would beat him by a landslide.

(50,553 posts)The Republican base contains a shitload of people who believe gambling and drinking are sins. How exactly does a guy who owns two casinos think he's going to win those people over?
He's right that only the perfect Republican candidate can beat Hillary. That person doesn't actually exist.
