Donald Trump Enters Republican Presidential Primary Contest — 9 Comments

  1. CINC POTUS VPOTUS candidates Trump and Klayman could debate at least a dozen empty debate chairs monthly over the next six – eight months regarding past present and future NBC Natural Born Citizen eligibility and or concerns of the empty chair candidates.

  2. Quick question (I hope):

    What is the basis for the number 16 ?

    Nearly all of the news reports today say 12 or 13.

  3. Nominating petitions ONLY to show *serious* candidates.

    Nonpartisan App.V. for executive/judicial offices

  4. The reason the blog post says 16 is it includes Governors Scott Walker, John Kasich, Bobby Jindal, and Chris Christie. Those four haven’t formally announced yet but everyone expects them to do so. The twelve who have formally announced are Jeb Bush, Donald Trump, Rick Perry, Lindsay Graham, George Pataki, Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, and Ted Cruz.

  5. Donald Trump said he was “…running for President.” I assume he’s running as a Republican; but he didn’t say so. I am wondering if he’s keeping his options open if he would later want to run as an independent or third-party candidate; if he doesn’t get the nomination. There was some discussion on a viewer call-in show about this on C-SPAN3 after Trump’s speech.

  6. NBCP is now awaiting Trump to come to us for NBC debates and probable ballot access nation-wide
