TRUMP: There's so much oil, I just said. In fact, these analysts were saying they didn't know why the price wasn't going down because they said it's so much; there's so much oil coming out from all different sources.
The one guy said, the ships are loaded; they don't know where to dump it. And then they say, we don't understand why it's not coming down. It's not coming down because OPEC sets the price.
CROWLEY: But we can't stop OPEC from setting the price.
TRUMP: Oh, we could do it so easily. We have such power if we knew how to use it. We -- we don't use our power...
CROWLEY: Give me one way to get OPEC to lower the prices.
TRUMP: We need one thing going for us: brain power. We don't use our brain power. We need one thing: brain power.
CROWLEY: OK. And what would be your one big idea to get OPEC to stop charging such high -- price-gouging is what you...
TRUMP: Candy, it's the messenger. You know, I can send two executives into a room. They can say the same thing. One guy comes home with the bacon and the other one doesn't, and I've seen it 1,000 times.
It's the messenger. We don't have the right messenger. Obama is not the right messenger. We are not a respected nation anymore. The world is laughing at us.
You tell OPEC, "Fellows, that price is going down." Let me tell you, it will go down if you say it properly.
~~~~ few seconds later LOL
TRUMP: Look at Libya. Look at Libya. Look at this mess. We go in; we don't go in; he shouldn't be removed; we don't want to remove him; we don't want to touch him, but he should be removed. Nobody knows what they're doing on Gadhafi.
Then we're back into rebels -- oh gee, whiz, maybe we can't, because they're backed by Iran. You know, if somebody said, "What would be your theory or what would you do in terms of Libya," I'd do one thing. Either I go in and take the oil or I don't go in at all. We can't be the policeman for the world.
CROWLEY: You'd just take their oil?
TRUMP: Absolutely. I'd take the oil. I'd give them plenty so they can live very happily. I would take the oil.
You know, in the old days...
CROWLEY: Well, wait. We can't go...
TRUMP: Candy -- Candy, in the old days, when you have a war and you win, that nation's yours. This country is a laughingstock throughout the world. It's being ripped off by every country.
If you look at what China's doing, they're stealing our jobs; they're taking our money. They're then loaning our money back. It's amazing. They're making all of our products. And they're doing this by manipulating their currency. They are so manipulating the currency that it makes it almost impossible for our companies to compete with China.

When I was a kid (Im 47) being the president seemed more like an honor. Now people like Trump run. I don't consider myself a conservative but I think that if your going to be president you should have at least served in the military. Hell you are "Commander in Chief". How can you lead troops when you have no idea how to do their job.
Trump's name may be out there to all but with his bankruptcies he obviously isn't doing such a good job either. Why put him in a position of power. I do agree that our country is in poor shape. I had hoped that Obama would have hired more experienced people but I guess in order for him to get there, he scratched more backs then anyone knew (no beat ups here we all know that the O had NO experience but he had the chance to hire some of the best minds in the word ... and didn't)
Personally I'd like someone to catch Trump while he sleeps and cut his hair

Craig Fergeson just had a funny comment on the Trumpster......"Donald Trump for president? NO WAY! NO F*****G WAY! This is a man who bankrupt a CASINO! That's not even supposed to be POSSIBLE! How do you bankrupt a CASINO? Casinos are in business to TAKE YOUR MONEY...how do you BANKRUPT THAT? And you want HIM to run the country? HELL no!" LMAO! I thought that was funny.....maybe you had to be there....! jackie harris

Obama has made us such a weak nation, My friend in Australia was telling me that the news there makes fun of him and the way he handles things. Trump would be great if he meant what he said and would stand up to people and other countries. I just can't help but feel he would be tons better than the obama nightmare but not strong enough. We need someone to Take us back to a world Power again. Not sure who can after the pussificaion of America that obama has orchestrated. Trump has good ideas and great words but I just don't think he is strong enough to stand up to the politicians of America

i think it very odd that huckabee and trump bailed so early and only 2 days apart. i have thought all along that there will be things done to "fix" the election - just as there was in the last. mark my words, we will see every serious contender drop out until there is no one to threaten obama's re-election.
