He'll announce; he'll hold rallies to promote himself; he'll participate in the debates and promote himself; he'll end his campaign before anyone gets to vote for him.

FEC doesn't require financial disclosure; it requires reporting on campaign contributions and spending. Financial disclosure (which is usually limited to the GE candidates) is an expectation of the media.

Her guest, Chris Matthews, described Trump as a "comic book character."

That's one of the best ways I've seen to describe Trump so far.

Narcissism in the extreme that he exhibits is a sever mental disorder.
If he were not so loathsome I would pity him.

They guy pandered to racists for months, claiming he'd discovered some amazing birther bombshell that he "would be revealing soon."

Yet, oddly enough, it never materialized.

But he keeps getting a pass and is invited on shows to spew more garbage. Just once, it would be nice if the starstruck hacks in the media would grill him about his lies.

Until he answers for it, he shouldn't even be considered to be granted a forum for his views.

It's M$Greedia's way of assisting in bringing that UN down to earth.
Obama has shattered their carefully nurtured myth that has been centuries in the making.

I'm thinking it was at least 40%...it was overall (all voters, Gallup poll) at 65% in 2011
