I have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea and have never been a big Trump fan, but I must say reading this article made me laugh.

And, he said, “In the old days, when we won a war, we won a war.” Trump said that what that means is “you keep the nation, you keep the land, you keep the oil.” He said he’d only be interested in current U.S. military actions in Iraq or Libya if the U.S. got the oil from those nations.

He said Obama would “almost certainly will go down in history as the worst president of the United States.”

Trump termed Obama as living “in the world of the make-believe” because he believes government statistics that indicate inflation is low. And he disputed if Obama wrote both his own books because he said there is a huge difference in quality between the two works.

“The difference was like chicken salad and chicken s---,” Trump told the crowd.

He said he doesn’t like the idea that someone calling to check on a credit card bill often gets a representative in India instead of an American. And he said U.S. infrastructure needs improvement, pointing to New York’s LaGuardia Airport, which he often uses. “It’s old. It’s dirty. It’s falling apart. It’s disgusting.”

I am in the same boat as you in. What should I blame for that view? Is the media itself is the blame or is Donald Trump is the media? I just can't see if Donald Trump being serious about the government because he been the media too long.

Me either and those quotes reminded me why.
 
Even if Trump is serious I highly doubt the Republican Overlords would let him be their candidate.

My guess at the likelies
Mitt Romney (though being Mormon will remove him from final selection)
Mike Bloomberg
Newt Gingrich
Mitch Daniels
Tim Pawlenty

You forgot:
Ron Paul
Rand Paul
 
@Red

Rand Paul said if Ron runs he'd back out. I think what's likely to happen is Ron will run, Rand will back out, and Ron will make it far enough, but lose soon enough, that Rand wouldn't be able to jump in.

Trump is a promoter, he's making headlines and promoting the Trump brand.

He has made his actual birth certificate public. LOL

But is Trump a good enough promoter. He's up against some serious professional competition.

Obama's campaign received awards from the advertising industry.

The campaign, submitted by Obama for America, has been hailed as a masterful combination of new media, door-to-door and community grass roots campaigning with a clever tactical use of traditional TV advertising.

The campaign won two grands prix in the Titanium and Integrated Lions categories.

"Hope and Change" was full of optimism and substance free.

Reagan's classic Morning in America ad was pretty content free also.
Maggie Thatcher ruled Britain through advertising agency Saatch & Saatchi but all of these kinds of campaign take serious amounts of money that only a major party can put together.

People without the funds have to get their campaign buzz going by antics but it's tough to go all the way on antics alone.
